Inquisitor Ialdabaoth Rex, puritanical Amalthian of the Ordo Hereticus
The original idea was for dark armour and copper trim with verdigris though I was a bit nervous about trying out Nihilakh Oxide for the first time so did a few tests on spare models beforehand, though was a bit apprehensive of trying it on the proper model so I started slowly, adding multiple thin layers. Once I was done I had a look at the model and realised dark green armour wasn't going to work and i thought of using a slightly brighter colour scheme - white! I hate painting white, though thought I'd give it a go, and I'm quite happy with the results, giving my painting.
Overall I'm pleased with the result - both the colour and the conversion. It's been a while since I've converted something with so many parts. He's an imposing figure - bordering on fat, if I do say so! (that bloodbound chest is huge and really a strange shape), though he isn't too far out, especially in terms of equipment (just a powersword and weird pistol and some grenades).
The main parts are the Khorne bloodbound body, custodian guard legs, grey knight head and old empire arms. The cloak is a mix of GS and milliput.
Now onto the rest of his retinue!
