My, what a wyrd inquisitor you have...

 o/

No doubt he is still hired out to the highest bidder (The Emprah!).

This is my second and final entry for Neverness' 2023 Inquisitorial Conclave painting challenge. This guy is wyrd in more ways than one. First off, he is indeed an old, old Wyrd from Necromunda, albeit one who has had a gun swap. Secondly, despite having him for well over a year, up until this challenge he was neither shown nor even mentioned (well, at least not specifically) on this blog. 

While an inelegant weapon to say the least, his laspistol packs a punch comparable to that of the standard Imperial bolt pistol.

I'm hoping that the taro plant will draw your eye away from the just plain awful sculpting of his cloak.

Lastly, despite his operating behind the scenes, he has had a Rhino-turned-Razorback, which is now instead traveling in the Warp to it's new owner. At least he still retains his retinue which I painted up (among other things) last October during the Dreadtober painting challenge.

Somewhat unfortunately, they're all based to match my now defunct Adeptus Mechanicus force.

Hopefully this guy and his little band of flunkies will grace the tabletop sometime in the near future.

  1. They all look really lovely, and despite the sense of completionism that is your curse those bases look good together! Love that old sculpt, and extra points for those wee freebies in a box at the base.

  2. Looking good! I have always wanted that model and somehow it never made it into my collection. Warfrog had it and used it as a GS cult magus which I thought was a great use for it.

  3. Always liked that sculpt. Love the colours and the weapon swap fits him far better than his original load out.

  4. @Ragsta: Thanks!

    @Neverness: Thanks & indeed he would make a good Magus. This is also the first of any of the Wyrd minis for Necromunda that I've ever had.

    @Dai: I appreciate it Dai! Yes that autopistol needed to go, and having the same pistol as his minions seemed the best way to go.
