Basing the Retinue - Part Five

So,

One more down,

This time it is the Magos,

Well,
Like......

- The fat country cousin who walks directly to the buffet when arriving at the party,

- The classical drunk Uncle, who does not even bother shaking hands with the host, before getting shit-faced in the bar

Magos Mikhail has clearly found a machine of some kind, perhaps a way to turn on the power grid in the slum-hive Inquisitor Mannheim and his retinue are currently investigating ?
Or perhaps a way to hotwire the transportation rail ? or a way to get through a sealed portal ?

Perhaps its just an oversized mechanical wet-stone for his claws :)
Who knows :)

Cheers

Basing the retinue - Part Four

Hi,

One more down,

This time it was the ex-guardsman Mr. Freud with his big assault-stubber:

Thought of spraying a bunch of spent shells all over the base, but I could really see that done.

Cheers

Basing the Retinue - Part Three

This time the ex-commissar:

A bit simple this time, but I think its okay..

Janus

Basing the retinue - Part Two

This time its the Inquisitor himself..

Cheers

Basing the retinue - Part One

So I got around to basing the models,

Had some advice from Kraut about different ways to base.

I know this model are not any ones favorite, and yes, I still haven't gotten around to refitting his weapons.

I think it went rather okay..

Inquisitor Hans Theobalthus Mannheim - Take two

Greetings,

Well - I decided to change some of the weapons, following a discussion about them on the Ammobunker.

So far I have worked on Inquisitor Mannheim:

The big daemon sword went down the drain, in exchange for something a little lighter :)

Actually I thought that I would go for a more sacrificial dagger type, but as I messed around with all the options I fell for this one.
The sacrificial-dagger style felt a bit too nasty for Inquisitor Mannheim, I dont think he is quite there yet - blood rituals and all :)

This sword is a lot smaller, but still carries some threat with it I think.

Next model up for remake is the Bounty hunter / Gunslinger

Cheers

Janus

Thoughts of changes

Greetings,

Following a question from PDH on Ammobunker,

Yes I am rethinking my approach to some of my miniatures, with regards to the weapons.
I have been thinking about the comments from several of you guys, including Molotov, Peter, KrautS and others.

I get the fact that some of the weapons, are quiete abit too large for the models.
Altough I feel that some of the pictures makes the weapons even larger..
But I have decided to work some changes.
So Peter - The short answer - Yes, Im scaling back on the oversized weapons

Although I hope, retaining some of the violence in the models.
The retinue was supposed to be very physical and uncompromising.


I have identified two of the miniatures, that I think needs a refit the most:

Inquisitor Mannheim himself, and the Bountyhunter / gunslinger Solus.


Regarding Mannheim, I think I will exchange his too massive sword, with a smaller and more slender blade.
Right now Im thinking of some kind of sacrificial-looking blade / dagger / short sword ?
I have a few items in my bits boxes that would fit that description Im certain.
That would make him still having a daemonic blade / dagger, while letting the fact that he is dabbeling in the forbidden.

Regarding Solus, I see now that you guys were right about the pistols.
Even though this guy has got the biceps of Arnold S in the 1980's, carrying two bolt pistols with exstensions, are perhaps a bit too excessive
Righ now I am thinking of refitting two laspistols with new ends/butts to the barrels.
Then use my new tube tool, or some guitarwire, to link the pistols to a small unit on the lower part of his back with cables.
They would be some kind of hell-pistols, high-powered las-pistols or hot-shot las-pistols
I think this would work to downscale the sizes quiet abit, while still retaining some aggressiveness with the dual pistols.

What do you think ?

Cheers
Janus
