Greetings Terrans, this will be my last post this year – a few new minis to share as I round out my Warband for Heresyofus’ Daemon Ink event. I completed the rest of the Elucidian Starstriders to round out the warband to 14 (Marines count as 2), so in the interests of rounding out the numbers, I also added Sergeant ‘Ripper’ Jackson to the party. Stylistically she restores a bit of balance to the party, as it was starting to look a bit too heavy on the Steampunk aesthetic.
So from the top, let’s go through the warband – all names are TBC but some light background fluff is starting to take shape in my thoughts:
###

Inquisitor xxxxxxxx – Vigilantia, the watch-fire in the dark – Ordo Chronos (because timey-wimey stuff is cool). Agenda is unknown, but whatever it is, it is sufficiently grave to warrant a slow shift towards the radical end of the Inquisitorial spectrum.
###
###

Xenos companion & psyker – mysterious Harlequin Shadowseer xxxxxxxx who accompanies the Inquisitor at all times, but to what end?
###
###

Brother-Tutor Marine xxxxxxxxx from the 888th Mentor Legion, assigned to the group at the request of the Inquisitor… Whether the motivation is to observe and learn, or to be vigilant and constrain is unknown.
###
###

Astra Millitarum Veteran xxxxxxxxx, a tough, no-nonsense individual, completely loyal to Inquisitor xxxxxxx & friendly rival to Brother-Tutor xxxxxxxxxx
###
###

Rogue Trader xxxxxxxxx, attached to the Inquisitor by mutual agreement – the Inquisitor benefits from her resources and discretion, while she benefits from the Inquisitor’s access to highly classified intelligence and artefacts.
###
###

Rejuvenat Adept xxxxxxxxx, Chief Medical Officer to Rogue Trader xxxxxxxxxx, responsible for xxxxxxx’s longevity treatments.
###
###

Tech-Adept Explorator xxxxxxxxx, Chief Engineer & techno-historian, part of Rogue Trader xxxxxxxxxx’s crew, but as with all priests of Mars, his true motivation is his own.
###
###

Death Cult Assassin xxxxxxxxx, a superlative bladeswoman, xxxxxxxx is loyal only to Rogue Trader xxxxxxxxxx, and guards her fiercely.
###
###

Voidmaster xxxxxxxxxxxx, leads an elite cadre of Void Guild soldiery, and is contracted to Rogue Trader xxxxxxxx. He is an experienced leader & tactician, and he expects the best from himself and his team in discharging their contract. He is staunchly loyal to his Voidsmen in return.
###
###

Voidswoman xxxxxxxxxxx, second in command to xxxxxxxxxxxx, she exemplifies the duty & honour expected of the Void Guild.
###
###

Voidsman xxxxxxxxxx – Void Guild veteran
###
###

Voidsman xxxxxxxxxx – Void Guild veteran
###
###

Voidsman xxxxxxxxxx – Void Guild veteran & heavy weapon operator
###
###

‘Voidsman’ xxxxxxxxxx – Void Guild mascot, guard & scout
###

Here’s a few pics of different groups within the warband:

So that’s it from me for 2020 folks – I wish you all a safe & happy Christmas, enjoy it however you can. Fingers crossed that 2021 is less of a shit-show!
These look incredible! The void master is my favourite, what a great model 🙂
Cheers mate – I’d be hard pressed to pick a fave, but he’s definitely in the mix. A simple headswap really makes the difference I think
These are great, they’re really telling a story already. Enjoy your Christmas and new year Alex, it’s been a pleasure as always!
Cheers Mikko, you too mate, stay safe & I’ll catch you on the flip side 👍
All really nice, Alex! :-) My favourite is the Voidswoman. Hope you have a great Christmas!
Cheers dude, she’s a lovely mini for sure – you have a good one too mate 😊
Faultless Alex and trust me I did try to find some as a matter of principal! 😉 Some great colour schemes too and as I said before I like that green and gold but am loving that white and gold as well. Have a great Christmas with the family and with you all the way for a better 2021. 🙂
Ahhh, cheers mate, that’s kind – there are a few bits that could’ve been better, but this lot was pretty much at my top painting level so that’s nice of you to say 😊
I love them all. I particularly like how that green ties them all as a cohesive group, even being such different sculpts. Wow, fantastic.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Thanks dude, yep, my hope was that the green & gold would unify the group, and a splash of red here & would just brighten things up. I’m pleased that it worked out – even the traditionally non-green AdMech guy & medic seem to fit in, so I’m really chuffed 😊
I think I’m going to explore blue more next year…
Nice work Alex as already said by others. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Cheers dude, and to you & yours too 😊
Excellent work! :D
Love the different color combos. The white and gold is great!
Happy Holidays!
Thanks IM, glad you like ‘em – I still find white a sod to paint, but I’m pleased with my efforts here. Happy holidays to you & yours too – stay safe & all the best for ‘21!
Nice group of mini’s. My favorite is the first one, though I like what you did with the various greens you used on some of the others as well. Particularly like how you did the tones on the business end of his spear. The dobie is my second favorite, but then I favor that breed of dog so there’s that. :)
Cheers Ann, I’m particularly pleased with that spear tip so I’m glad you like it 😊
As for the dog, what’s not to love!!
Very true, who doesn’t love a huge pupperino? :)
Also, I was wondering if you were planning on doing Fembruary this year? If so I have a miniature in the queue I’m going to paint for it.
Indeed, and hell yeah!! Would be great to have you onboard 😊
Great, I’ll sign on with my friend’s gnome that I put up in my last post.
Perfect 👍
Now that’s a Netflix limited series I want to see.
