Forces of the Inquisition
The main reasons behind building a
daemonhunters army are, for me, the fluff; the range of
different models to convert and paint and, the flexibility
of the army list to allow for varied game play. To the right is one of my inquisitor
models. Two more are on the way - one commonor inquisitor
and one shooty inquisitor with a psycannon. I don't have a lot of money to spend on
buying models on a whim, so I usually make do with what I
get from birthdays and Christmas. Last year I built a
fantasy army so I had a lot of Empire warriors hanging
about. After a few crazed nights of chopping, sawing,
pinning and not a few Franensteinian laughs, I had a unique
bunch of henchmen. Having not been too keen on the servitor
models to start with made this all the sweeter. Both of the flags were made with home
made decals. I used Testor's brand and didn't have more than
an occasional fit getting them to lie down nicely. I used to
make a lot of airplane models in my teens and twenties, so I
got some very good decal techniques from reading magazines
like Fine Scale Modeller. Another

got a box of plastic Cadians for my birthday . . . I needed
them to be stormtroopers . . . knife, saw and pinning time!
These are probably the most painstaking conversions I've
done - turning lasguns into hellguns and giving the
impression of carapace armour. I thought about cutting out
some clear plastic from some blister packs to make face
shields, but I haven't figured a way to curve them nicely
yet. The finals will have much in the way of inquisitorial
iconography coutesy of my home made decal sheets. Inquisitorial

Stormtroopers I do have some Grey Knights in box, but I
do also like the idea of allied Space Marines, too. These
are my take on the Exorcists. Yeah, I know, they're supposed
to be red. Well the models used to be red when they were
Blood Angels. Besides, I like grey. Sniper
