Warhammer 40K Old School Inquisitor

Get Ready for some Old School! Every now and then I will pick up an old mini or restart a half completed project out of my collection in order to wrap up some loose ends. Despite its age I still really like the old Ordo Malleus Inquisitor in Terminator armor. I remember back when this was one of the few inquisitors available out of the whole citadel collection. I’ve had it for years in a half painted state and decided to dust it off and finally finish it. Although I am not a big fan of painting white I thought it looked well on the inquisitor mini range so I had to apply the same treatment to this termie.

 

 

If you have any old models just sitting around waiting to be painted go and grab one to finish it up. It is surprisingly satisfying to clean up these loose ends.

Horus Heresy Project: Xiphon Interceptor Complete

Emperor's Children Xiphon Interceptor

The Xiphon Pattern Interceptor is one of the newest flyers available to the Legions Astartes. I had just recently finished one for my Emperor’s Children and I am itching to use it. Typically I struggle in my 40K games when someone takes a flyer and I don’t quick have a counter to it in my army. For 30K I thought that I would go ahead and include one since one of my friends is planning on taking a fire raptor eventually. The Xiphon is designed to take out other flyers and it’s 3+ jink ability will help it survive against incoming fire.

 

 

 

This is the first model that I’ve used the Chemos Purple airbrush spray from Forge World. I was hoping that the color would be closer to Liche Purple, but it is noticeably paler, which is unfortunate because the rest of my army is painted in Liche Purple and I will likely stop building up my 3^rd Legion once my last paint pot runs dry. I went to great pains to ensure the techmarine in the cockpit was detailed, sadly it is hard to fully appreciate once the canopy is in place. I also added some weathering to the Xiphon too. I considered not doing so based on the Emperor’s Children meticulous upkeep of the aircraft, but it didn’t look quite right so after doing to paint chipping and exhaust effects I was much more satisfied with the end result.
