This mini from the Chronopia line of miniatures had only been partly painted since it came out in the late 90s (!?). I've stowed him away for years at a time, ashamed of the lack of progress only to bring him out for a short time and then put him away again... The other day I was going through the container he's been trapped in and decided it was his time, finally...
I wanted to convert him to be an Inquisitor of some sort. Generally he was unchanged, first I took him off the regular round 25mm base and found a fancy base from the Micro Art Studios/Coolmini Kickstarter. The slotta tab got snipped off and I drilled a hole in the base and foot. He comes from a time when most miniatures were metal, and this guy is very solid. I decided to leave him off the base to paint them both separately. Next his giant thick shoulder pad protrusions were removed and I filed down the surface for smoothness.
Next I had to give him something to bring him into a more sci-fi setting. Rejected options include: a servo skull with a gun attached with a tether to the Inquisitor, techy bits attached to the axe, a face swap, and a holstered pistol. The winner was a big gun attached with a cable and some antigrav device attached to it. In the pictures there's a little chunk of flock stuck to the side of the gun- ignore it, it was simply wiped away.
I don't know what Ordo he would be from, but it's likely something to do with machines because all the cogs. He's a bit short so maybe he's half-Squat?
For comparison, first up we have the recently completed female Inquistor.
Next up is the towering Primaris Marine...
Finally, for comparison purposes only, please do not create a possible scenario from the scene, we've got the Governor and his retinue with our new Inquisitor...
