Inquisitional Conclave 2022 -Week 2

 

I wish there was a miniature of this model by John Blanche. Anyway, welcome back to the Inquisitional conclave. Some progress updates by our contributors so far:

Da Masta Cheef has completed one miniature so far, 

Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Tibadaux

He has a retinue in progress as well, but more importantly he has finished another Inquisitor also. Da Cheef has been an active hobbiest this season. 

Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Wezley Sharlz Vinderthoff the III. 

At first I misread "the III" as "the ill" and I couldn't help but to wonder what foul warp affliction Da Cheef was making this guy suffer through...

Over on Devos IV Zzzzzz was whipped out a Throne Agent with a bit too much Xenos influence. And an impressive and esoteric retinue to accompany them. 

All is not as it seems...

And I made some progress as well on my model. 

Lord Inquisitor Kyra Draxus WIP.

Over on Twitter danvers-rfw started a Show Me Your Inquisitors thread that has some interesting miniatures that I think you should check out. 

And that's all the updates for this week. I might not have an update next week as I will be heading to the "local" Warhammer store to order the store anniversary Inquisitor model. It's always a bit of a day trip to go down to Knoxville. 

Meanwhile if you wish to have your Inquisitor join the Conclave there is still plenty of time to contribute.

Another one of my favorite pages from this series. I wish I had the hat on her head sooner, as I think it gave the Captain more character. That first panel is probably my favorite darwing of her. And that final panel, yeah, not ashamed to admit it, but I wear my comics heroes on my sleeve sometimes.

Lord Inquisitor Kyra Draxus (Part 2)

 Progress continues on Lord Inquisitor Kyra Draxus. Or my interpretation of her anyway. 

The black armor she wears was painted using Abaddon Black.. I am either going to paint her like the example GW uses on the packaging or using the scheme I use on my Dark Eldar. Either way,  I feel like her armor is based off of the Dark Eldar's  design, so I feel that's the direction to go in. I painted her Mohawk using a Magenta Ink that I have had since the '00s. It was a flip-tip lid and amazingly it hasn't dried up. Anyway, I thinned it out a bit and used it like a Contrast Paint to get the effect I wanted. Actually most of this model was painted in Contrast Paint ad this stage. The bones, including the wraithbone of the Shurikan Catapult, was painted using a Contrast Paint called Skeleton Horde. I absolutely LOVE this color! 

The dark areas of the cloak was painted using a thinned Dark Reaper. Then the whole cloak was washed with Space Wolves Grey Contrast Paint. It was an interesting look, but it's not quite how I wanted it to turn out, so I will be doing a bit more to work on this in the middle coat stage. 

The lil' dragon was painted using a Militarum Green and Warp Lightning Contrast Paints. It's an interesting effect so far. 

Progress shall continue soon! 

Inquisitional Conclave 2022 Week 1

 

Here we are at week one of this year's painting challenge (paint an Inquisition model in the month of August) and we haven't got much to show you just yet. Perhaps it will be a small gathering of Draxus miniatures this year?

Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Tibadaux.

Da Masta Cheef has been working on Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Tibadaux. She is also joined by a eclectic retinue which he is also assembling along with her. 

Lord Inquisitor Draxus. 

I am working a Draxus model as well, but I am keeping  her as Draxus but with a few tweaks. Most obvious being an Escher Mohawk. 

Inquisitor with bodyguard?

A mob of archo flagellants.

And ZZZZZZ has sent an Inquisitor team but with no details. Keep an eye on Devos4 to see how this project turns out.

Ok, so this wasn't submitted to us, but I did stumble across this insanely inspiring piece by danver-rfw on Twitter that you just got to check out:  Lady Eleanor. 

That's all for this week, let's see what we can knock out next week. Remember, anyone can join in, just send pix or a link to me either at neverness92@gmail.com or via of FB group.

Welcome back! And we continue with Shankara and his breachers having stormed the Eldar Shadowhunter. Again, I changed Shankra's appearance but finally he's starting to look like a fusion of the other times I drew him. Coming up with an idea of what an Eldar control panel would look like was fun too. It was largely based off of the Viper's cockpit as it was shown in White Dwarf. 

Hang on, you've made it this far! And things are about to get crazier as we complete the last half of this thing.

Lord Inquisitor Kyra Draxus (Part 1)

 It's August, which means it's time to engage in the annual tradition of painting an Inquisitor. This year I decided not to raid the archives to select one of my old museum-worthy miniatures to finally paint, but to go with one fairly new. And by new, I mean this decade.

Lord Inquisitor Kyra Draxus.

The miniature I selected was Lord Inquisitor Kyra Draxus. She came out in 2020 towards the end of Warhammer 40,000 8th edition as part of  the Psychic Awakening event. (By the way, despite owning a few of those books, what the heck was the ramifications of the Psychic Awakening to the 'plot' of the ongoing  Warhammer 40,000 narrative?)

The sprue and the  necessary construction guide.

Anyway, I had a version of this miniature in China cast. But I discovered that I already had it in plastic so I gave it to Da Masta Cheef. I was ignorant to the complexity of this miniature until I started to build it myself. It is unnecessarily complex for a monopose figure. Cheef vented about this on blog as he is building it for his August Inquisitor as well. 

Mostly built.

One change I decided to make was to add a Mohawk from the Necromunda Escher expansion pack. I had to trim off the attached scalp to better align it to her head, but with a little persistence I was able to make it work. 

The other part of the dragon. 

You might have noticed that the dragon wasn't fully assembled. That's because I think it's going to be a challenge to paint this model already without that thing's coiling tail being in the way. I primed the model this morning and I hope to make some progress on it by next week.  

Inquisitional Conclave 2022 kickoff!

Welcome to the 2022 Inquisitional Conclave!*  The rules (more like guidelines really); all you have to do is obtain for yourself an Inquisitor miniature and throughout August, paint it up and send in to me your progress updates. Or you can just send in a pic of the finished miniature. Whatever works for you.  The conclave itself,  where I show off the final pieces, will be in early September. I'll get the actual date locked down as we get closer to the end. 

Inquisitor Greyfax by Siph Horridus.

You're not just limited to an Inquisitor specifically, you can paint members of their retinue or warband to accompany the one you might have painted for a previous Conclave or any Imperial Agents your Inquisitor may requisition. You can use existing GW models, 3rd party ones, or go nuts on a kitbashing spree. It's open 

Inquisitor Tharok Radron by Floyd.

You can message me directly at neverness92@gmail.com, and send to me either pics or a link to your own blog (Instagram, whatever social media platform you prefer). -Whatever you want to do. Of course, I'll post my own updates here as well.  Again, the Conclave itself (the post where all the final finished pics are showcased) will happen in the first week or weekend of September; I will know more as we get there. That should be plenty of time for most of us -I hope!

Inquisitor Draco, by Neverness. 

If you need some ideas or just want to see what happened in the previous conclaves check out 2021 and 2020's conclaves. Please spread the word and let's have some fun! 

*if you came here today expecting Art Monday, sorry but the 1st of August this year happens to be on a Monday. We'll pick it back up next week.
