That looks amazing; best rough rider ever. Is this for necromunda and 40k?
I assembled about 30+ rough riders on normal old-school warhammer horses, with an almost identical hunting lance to yours (except I cut the fin off of the end of the mortar); it's quite uncanny.

cheminhaler- mine was inspired by the mad max "molotov spear" its a bomb on a stick, i think the fins help to give it that old bomb look am hoping both necromunda ash wastes and 40k thanks for the best ever bit, really helps the mojo (still early blu tac wip's i'm afraid) this first guy is based on one of my first inquisitor ideas, Inquisitor Mordax. his appearance came later when i played the matrix online mmorpg Mordax was mentored by a fire and brimstone inquisitor lord who traveled around with a regiment of storm troopers belligerently kicking the crap out of any wrong doers. too many times mordax saw the instigators of evil flee at such overt military force coming their way leaving duped fools to fight and die in their place. so now he is an inquisitor in his own right most of the time he shies away from all the obvious trappings of his powerful position, frequently operating undercover with nothing more fancy than an autopistol or shock maul to mark him out from the crowd of bounty hunters and hired thugs   the head i thought would work here didnt and so he's headless for now Mordax doesnt always operate from the shadows and understands that when leading any force of men an inspirational leader can bolster morale and so when entering any front line battlefield he goes clad in the full regalia of a powerful inquisitor lord, power armour, force hammer and bolt pistol etc   yep, he wears the helm of Saint SeJANUS in all its two faced omniview (360 degree )auto senses glory am after ideas for something funky in the way of boltpistols here as the one he has is a bit boring also any ideas for de-marining him a bit more? this next guy is known as the lion of terra, the mighty hero who has spawned a number of acolytes turned inquisitors including mordax and who may or may not be dead in the current timeline, been wanting to make this guy since i saw the tyrant of badabs claw, not sure on the shotgun but wanted something that looked brutal enough for the braced firing pose, any other ideas?   any help regarding the issues above is greatly appreciated thanks for looking |

cheers every forum i frequent agrees, something else is needed instead of the shotgun here are my options  volkite  plasma  grav  stormbolter 1  stormbolter 2 there is also a las cutter that i can use but as the lack of pic suggests, i cant find it right now any thoughts are appreciated also been thinking about shoulder options for mordax option 1  option 2= i make some layered armour to match the sort of stuff worn by inquisitor lok number 1 seems easiest? today, along with some of the guns above the postman brought me some magnets. BIG magnets.  what ever could they be for? |

Agreed. Assuming the hand can be modified correctly. |

Although the dual drum-fed stormbolter is the definition of badass I quite like the Volkite option. It's quite an intricate weapon and matches the detail of his armour.

cheers guys lightning, sorry, what grenade launcher? unable to find any terminator arms to finish the lion of terra i instead went for mordax in power armour. voting on the shoulder pads went the way of the scion pads so with some minor converting they got done and he got painted. the lighting in the pics has washed out the red, its much darker in real life and its not quite so single tone anyway, pics        sorry for excessive pics but looking for any glaring mistakes and wanted to show the filigree bits |

 have lost my list of paints that i used on the first batch so there might be some difference between them and any future batches, its a toss up between balor brown and zamesi desert for final highlights on the jackets, shouldnt look too different if i choose the wrong one though? This grenade launcher. |

got my straken counts as a new base and his command squad finished for the heroes of the guard challenge on the B&C         as they were for the challenge i boshed out some dodgy fluff as well Alcari
The regiments of Alcazar are sometimes known by the ironic nickname of “The Immobile Infantry.” Although the regiments from this hive world are drop troops and well equipped with APCs they are well known throughout the surrounding sectors for their ability to withstand almost any foe when deployed with their Bulwark class drop forts. This stoic defensive nature is bred into the Alcari by the fierce warfare that is waged between the various ruling guild houses of Alcazar over the planets resources and various mercantile contracts with the Imperium.
The Imperium often steps in to quell any serious threat to the planets production this hostility brings, be it with the barely veiled threats of imperial negotiators or the touch of an assassin’s blade.
The continuous threat of warfare has led to the surface of Alcazar being covered in citadels and fortress complexes, built by the various guilds to secure their territory and provide staging posts for their own opportunistic raids. With each house needing a standing body of troops, every worker is trained to use a las gun be it in defence or attack and so recruits raised from Alcazar are not unversed in the practice of killing, a highly valued skill in the Imperial Guard.
The innate rivalry and competition between regiments raised from different regions of Alcazar provides extra motivation to drive on or hold fast for the victory honours, leading to some truly heroic actions but also some devastating defeats as regiments over stretch themselves in the race for glory.
The 121st Alcari recently deployed on the xenos infested planet of Aridor on the orders of Inquisitor Mordax where they have been able to instantly set up numerous fortified installations around which the battered Bethesdan 51st and Aridor planetary defence forces have rallied. These beach heads have served as staging posts for additional reinforcement from other regiments enabling the imperial forces to shift from defence to attack.
Major Garibaldi
When as a young plasma specialist Garibaldi and his unit saved Arch Magos Toddius Kraine, and in doing so lost an arm to an ork choppa, few could guess the legend he would become. Promoted to lead his company and rewarded by the mechanicus with advanced bionics and an oath to provide bionics for any injured man in his company, Garibaldi has over the years become more metal than flesh, said by his men to be as strong as a space marine and twice as tough. Garibaldi and his special weapons company have a high proportion of bionics even now centuries later, long after the magos’ death the oath is honoured and these multiple bionics coupled with the concentration of special weaponry within Garibaldi’s company ensure that they are worth a lot more than the sum of their parts in a fight. This reputation has been tested multiple times, thrown into a number of meat grinders Garibaldi and his men have defied the odds and changed the course of thousands of battles with Garibaldi himself having won more medals than any previous recruit from the planet of Alcazar or the surrounding Eschataris sector.
To look at Garibaldi it is hard to see any organic parts at all and perhaps it is this cyborgisation that gives Garibaldi his faith in his own invincibility, whatever it is Garibaldi has never once retreated from a fight and makes a point of hunting down enemy commanders, separating their limbs from their bodies being a particular speciality of his.
The men that accompany Garibaldi are themselves heavily augmented, any time spent fighting alongside Garibaldi means fighting at the forefront of battle where injuries are common place. Doctor Zoidberg the medic attached to Garibaldi’s command squad is more mechanic than doctor, carrying more tools for fixing bionics than fixing flesh.
Plasma specialists Kurk, Piquard and Pyke have served in Garibaldis command squad for over 5 years together as their extensive limb replacement shows, a testament to the ferocity of the times.
N.0.r.K. was gifted to Garibaldi by the mechanicus upon his promotion to major to act as a bodyguard. Amused by the idea that he might need a bodyguard, Garibaldi treats N.0.rK as an attack dog on the battle field and a pet whilst off it, albeit a very dangerous one.

wasnt going to do the ammobunker one mini a month challenge this year due to some bigger projects hopefully coming up, with a test of my Alcari tank scheme nearly done i figured i will give it a shot and keep going til the inevitable failure in the mean time the B&C have started a guard campaign that the new tank fitted into so i have also jumped on to that wagon, lets hope the wheels dont fall off too soon anyway, here is as far as i have got on the hell hound/chimedon conversion i did a while back, just used washes so far for the weathering but have some forgeworld weathering powders on the way, hopefully they will arrive in time for me to get it finished     any tips on desert weathering for dark/black tanks is welcome along with any tricks for the powders cheers |

One of the tactics used by Alcari hellhound crews is to rough up their tanks to appear as wrecks, sitting out in the open until something comes close to investigate. The investigators are soon roasted alive. The crew of the hellhound below used this tactic extensively on its last deployment in a desert, often burying over 50% of the vehicle in sand to appear immobilized. or, it was my first time using weathering powders and i might have overdone it a bit  also got the battlecannon turret done  |

The chimedon (battle cannon), chimerax (quad auto cannons) and the chimerro (just adding a hunter killer missile) were all variants of the chimera in epic. Stalled on the chimerax turret but will finish it one day

managed to get the taurox done before the B&C's Assault on Lutum deadline so the vow is complete. in order to get finished in time i had to skip the magnetised chimera bits though which means they wont get done for a while now. anyway pics    didnt hit this with much weathering as it will be doing double duty in the hives of necromunda where the sand doesnt make much sense. am thinking it will transport a unit of psykers in 40k and so a fluff blurb about the eerie-ness of the tank and the fact that even the sand doesnt want to be near it will happen at some point |
