For The Guardroom I have two bodyguards for my Inquisitor. They're meant to represent the lower ranked members of her warband and are responsible for watching the Inquisitors back and providing fire support when needed. They rank slightly higher than the previously mentioned servo-skulls, but haven't quite graduated to full Acolyte.
The models are Genestealer Cult Hybrid warriors from Games Workshop and the helmets are from Pig Iron Miniatures. I actually wish you got more "normal" arm options in the Hybrid box because these would make great Horus Heresy troops.
Very nice paint job Mike, I especially like the helmets and the metal work on them. They remind me of old fashion divers helmets, which given how backwards the Imperium is, they very well could be just give out as "new" tech to the guard.
ReplyDeleteNice paint job and you're absolutely right, my first thought too was Solar Auxilia. Like the bronze tones you used for armour and helmets.
ReplyDeleteThose helmets integrate very nicely with the bodies.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Mike. Really nice blue but the bronze diving helmets steal the show.
ReplyDeleteVery nice additions to your Inquisitor' retinue.
ReplyDeleteThats a great conversion there - really like the old Diver helmet vibe to them!
ReplyDeleteGreat minis, I agree about wanting more 'normal' hybrid bodies for other projects.
ReplyDeleteCracking kit bash
ReplyDeleteLovely steampunk retro bodyguards, really like the colour combination!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain

ReplyDeleteGreat work! I love the dirty golden parts!
ReplyDeleteNice use of Pig Iron heads on there!
ReplyDeleteSuper models, like others have said the helmets remind me of divers
