I think you could probably add some fatigue-type trousers and give him another slightly different look than the more baggy trousers I've sculpted. Armour plates on his groin and shins might also work. Why not add a shirt too ;)<br /><br />I wholly agree about Inquisitor lackey selection - the premise seems to be to rope in the disaffected, then cast them adrift once they've outlived their use!<br /><br />I suppose technically I should have represented the lazooka as a RPG launcher in Inquisimunda. But I wanted plasma ;)axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-6295272487025556552015-10-08T07:59:32.165+01:002015-10-08T07:59:32.165+01:00He looks great, clean conversion work and paint, I...He looks great, clean conversion work and paint, I'm sure he will make an excellent addition to the retinue. <br />Your assassin story reminded me very much of my own imperial assassin who has had very little luck in life starting as Snake, then liquid snake, then solid snake, now known as snake-eater.

The work to the pants really helps to "modernize" the figure by making it a bit more sensible. <br /><br />Afriel, and other clone soldiers are great for Inquisitorial recruitment... Inquisitors do not always take the best troops, sometimes they are the most disposable/desperate ones instead. <br /><br />As an aside, I never noticed how much his lazooka looks like a hightech PIAT until seeing your painted version.
