One of my favourites of all the 54mm Inquisitor models is the Imperial Navy Bodyguard or Bosun. He's an unusual subject - an Imperial that isn't an Inquisitor or Guardsman. I also love his piratical gear and no-nonsense look.
I believe the figure was sculpted by Bob Naismith. The kit comes with a nice scarred head, some arm options and a selection of accessories for his waist.

| I chose the bionic hook for his left arm rather than the cutlass - it just had more presence! |
 |
| I had to do a bit of sculpting on the rear of the torso to make the fit better. |
I've painted a few 28mm Imperial Navy figures in the past and painted Bosun Sol Rennick to match. He got a mid-blue uniform with white and gold detailing.
 |
| I figured such a nicely modelled bionic leg would also get a shiny gold finish! |
He looks nice and imposing alongside some of my other 54mm figures:
 |
| The primary colours on these three makes them look like a 40k version of Power Rangers! |
I'm hoping to make some more Naval crew for Bosun Rennick to order around - that will be a future project though!

| A little bit of photo-editing and forced perspective to get a suitable environmental shot! |
