The whole gang is here...nearly

Hello!

Wow have i been busy lately, with work and learning to drive (again) I've had very little energy at the end of the day to build and paint, But that doesn't mean I've just been sat around dong nothing.

The Atlas Infernal gang has grown by quite a bit. First up is an Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, former acolyte and close friend of Czevak, Raimus Klute.

I Imagined him stepping out of the Lost Fornical onto a strange planet and remembering he hadn't loaded his trusty shotgun.




The Shotgun itself comes from the genestealer cultist kit but with a few modifications, first of all the shotgun barrel was trimmed down to resemble more of a sawn off, as the shotgun is described in the book as a "lever action close combat shotgun with a cut down pistol grip"



I then carefully cut the barrel from the stock, once this was done i made a bracket from a thin bit of brass so that the shotgun could actually open at the breech.



Then it was just a case of finding an appropriate hand and arm to give him the impression he is casually sliding a "thrice blessed silver scattershot shell embedded in a slug of saint Vesta's salts" (wow that's a mouth full...) into the breech.



Next up we have Hessian the Daemonhost.

The daemon is imprisoned in the body of a handsome youth who was previously a vassal (and boy-lover) of Epiphani's father.


Next is Saul Torqhuil.

Techmarine of the now Excommunicate Traitoris space marine Chapter the Relictors.


My first attempt at a true scale marine before the Primaris Marines made their debut.


Had a crack at making my own servos arms for the back pack, certainly not perfect but they do the trick.



He's described as having onyx skin but i never really liked the idea, so I painted his face a lightish brown and washed it several times with Agrax Earthshade until I got a suitably deep shade of brown.


I genuinely lost track of the various conversion work done on the model, the shoulder pads are originally terminator pads but with the edges evened out and a thin strip of plasticard added to create the trim. The power axe blade is made from a brass cog cut in half and stuck to either side of a half circle of plasticard, Just to name a few things.

And finally The servo skull "Father" 

Father is a Servoskull drone constructed around the skull of Epiphani's father. Father maintains a mind-link with her, and its bionic eyes act as her realsight conduit. Father has a vellum-scroll printer installed in its mouth, and some Cogitator ability.


Nothing special, just a skull and some mechanicus bits with a thin strip of brass to act as a roll of vellum.



So there you have it, all of the gang is here apart from Epiphani. I'm currently trying to find the right bits to really show off her strange ability to dress for an occasion which hasn't happened yet.

In the mean time I've also been busy converting up a small squad of Savlar Chem Dogs to do the dirty work for Czevak and Klute. A lot of the warband are essentially non combatants or are not really combat centric so a few more guns were needed, pictures to follow very soon!
