OOGH.  Yes, the updates have become sporadic.  No, I don't know when it'll be fixed.  Maybe when my day job becomes less crazy.  Or when someone pays me for my writin- HAHAHA.  So anyway.  Here's the third member of my first Inquisitor warband, following on the heels of The Rogue Trader and The Rogue Enforcer.

He is...the mercenary.


This fellow's had the least amount of conversion work done to him, though I still tried to put in some effort to make him feel unique from the standard line of Inquisitor models.

Basically, he's most of the Damian Bloodhound kit, which itself was a limb-and-head swap with the Slick Devlan kit.  I kept the shotgun hand and the head the same, but I swapped out the open hand in favour of a closed fist.  That decision had little to do with this figure, and more to do with another conversion I had in mind that required the open hand.

I also thought it'd be fun to give my merc a somewhat flamboyant flair, and that meant giving him a vest.  I was feeling somewhat Han Solo that day, all right?  So, I chopped off the annoying shoulder-pad bit that was in the way, and slapped some putty on him.  While I was at it, I also filled his holsters with some blobs of putty so that it wouldn't look like he just threw his old guns away for no good reason.




In terms of a colour scheme, I went with dull browns and red to contrast with the black and blue of the other warband members.  I did this to make my Merc stand out, but also because I just felt like a change of pace was a good thing.

If there's one thing I'm not happy about, it's that the putty I was using was cheap and awful and cracked in places on his vest.  In retrospect, the stuff I used wasn't really meant for sculpting so much as gap filling.  Lesson learned!

There's one more member of this motley crew to go.  Next week it's the Ex-Soldier!
