Inquisitors Karamazov and Coteaz

Once again games workshop gets it 80% correct. It just seems to me, they start out with a great idea and then some execs kid says "put a giant eagle on this arm that would look cool!" Well today we will be fixing a few inquisitors.

---****Just a warning. This conversion will suck if you don't have the finecast version.****---

THE BUILDS

lets start with Inquisitor Karamazov (Aka. Admiral Lazyboy Recliner)
I started off just assembling the legs as per instructions.

I cut down the sides of the torso floor and used them to stuff the power plant back. This makes the back part look more finished, otherwise it would be open and I wanted it to look more compatible with the front.

Next I trimmed off the scribe figures hands. I wasn't going to use the figures provided but then I had an idea what if Karamazov had been jammed into the machine like a space marine dreadnaught. I then started taking this walking sarcophagus in mind as I remade the rest.

I took the back off the throne part and carefully cut it down to fit into the front section. To me this is so it looks more like a big pope hat. Behind the hat I put a cut down servitor to represent inquisitor karamazov.

Next I took the power plant and removed the bottom parts carefully so I could use them for the other areas. I used the hoses on the sides of the servitor and the lower areas on the back of his multi-melta. Once the back was fitted I glued on the fuel tank sides.

I them cut off the top of the left side tank and added a bracket to accept the new arm. The arm is made up of an ork grabba claw from the battlewagon kit and a rear claw left over from my helldrake. I them shaved off the rivets and spikes and voila new arm to represent the sword part of karamazov stats.

What we have now is a "pope drednaught" and not an armchair cardinal.

Inquisitor Coteaz was way easier I just stole an arm from a grey knight and replaced the stupid buzzard with a stormbolter. I feel this represents the ranged 24" assault 6 better.
