Skirmish in the 40k Universe - Inquisimunda and Kill Team

I've been sorting out some more of my Geek Room storage and have finally decided on which Kill Teams I'm doing using my left over CSM.

 

I have planned three Kill Teams, each based on one my favourite Traitor Legions: Death Guard, Iron Warriors and Word Bearers.

 

Some of these are already assembled, some are clipped from sprues and one even has some base colours applied(!)

 

Here they are:

 

The Putrefactors (Death Guard Kill Team)

 

Bubolicus the Putrefactor (aka G'gffabliodu) - Terminator Champion

Limax Flavus - Chaos Spawn

Turgentus - Plague Marine

Inpurus - Plague Marine

Ulcus - Chaos Marine

Morbus - Chaos Marine

The Infected - 5 Cultists

 

 

The Bringers of Woe (Iron Warriors Kill Team)

 

Futou, Disciple of Honsou - Forgesmith

Rikisen - Chosen

Fukutsu - Terminator

Saishin - Terminator

Chourai - Chaos Marine

Kaitou - Chaos Marine

Sekichou - Chaos Marine

 

 

The Sanctified (Word Bearers Kill Team)

 

Kor Anshar the Favoured - Aspiring Champion

Asaruludu - Chaos Spawn

Shulmanu - Possessed

Tammuz - Possessed

The Devoted - 5 Cultists

 

 

In a similar vein (well, game style at least) I have a couple of forces for Inquisimunda, an Imperial Guard force and a Eldar Corsair force.  Here's what I have:

 

Smethwick 19th 'The Metalheads' (Imperial Guard Kill Team)

 

A mix of 2nd ed metal Cadians and a few newer models, the Metalheads have an urban warfare theme.

 

Sergeant Metzger - Sergeant

Gunner Koch - Heavy Bolter

Gunner Neumann - Autocannon

Gunner Fleischer - Missile Launcher

Gunner Zweig - Ogryn

'Blaster' Thalberg - Plasmagun

'Eagle-Eye' Ackermann - Longlas

Private Schmitz

Private Schiffer

Private Kastner

Private Fruehauf

Private Wagner

Private Hechler

Private Dresner

Private Bach

Private Schwartz

Private Koehler

Private Freud

Private Dreschsler

Gloeckner, Sanctioned Psyker 5th Class

Der Vernichter - Sentinel

 

 

The Razor's Edge (Eldar Corsair Kill Team)

 

Based around my collection of RT eldar minis I've picked up on eBay over the years. I added an original Dreadnought/Wraithlord to act as a counterpoint to the Sentinel in the Metalheads.

 

Verthe the Razor - Leader

Zathe Fireheart - Flamer

Ryiah Starburner - Meltagun

Elion Suncaller - Plasmagun

Erinwe the Scryer - Warlock

Authole - Ranger

Ruion - Ranger

Maldir - Ranger

Arina

Calene

Seryth

Acele

Sidara

Airis

Lyis

Andir

Laenaya

Talamaeion, Vengeance from Beyond - Wraithlord/Dreadnought

Mordheim - Vladik from the North

A member of the Ungol people of Kislev, Vladik is proud of his heritage. He fights in the traditional style of the Kossar; with battle axe and bow. He has spent years in the armies of Kislev, fighting back the threat of Chaos from the Wastes. 

Times are hard in Kislev and Vladik has travelled South to the Empire to seek his fortune, perhaps one day he will return to his homeland, but for now he sells his martial skills in return for gold crowns. Able to fight the enemy at both range and in close combat, Vladik is a welcome hireling to any warband that is willing to pay his fee.

The OOP Kislev range from GW has lots of cool sculpts that would look great in Mordheim warbands, or like Vladik here, as Hired Swords.

Mordheim - Zob Rockgut

Zob Rockgut always had a strong sense of wanderlust and once he'd come of age, he decided to go for a walk. A long walk. Zob kept on walking, attaching himself to various armies along the way to earn his food, and eventually found himself at Mordheim. Immediately Zob stopped walking - it seems he has found what he was looking for.

 

 

 

Zob's gutplate is probably the best metal effect I've ever painted!

Mordheim - Mario Idraulico

Known as the ‘Golden Brother’, since childhood Mario could do no wrong. Where his brother Luigi was scolded, he was praised; where Luigi practised his trade, Mario lounged around; when Luigi went to war, Mario courted eligible women. Through it all Mario was loved and cherished by his parents.

Mario recently married Maria Pesca, so what if she was his brother’s childhood sweetheart?

When Luigi left Tilea in a rage, Maria convinced Mario to follow him, to try to rebuild the shattered relationship between the Idraulico brothers.

 

 

I picked up two of these Tilean merc minis and couldn't resist a fun homage in their shared background!

Mordheim - La Spada

The Tilean known only as La Spada is a duellist of dark and dangerous repute. For years he plied his trade across the Old World, serving as a proxy in duels for wealthy merchants and effete nobles. Each time he won, typically cutting his opponents to ribbons in the process, and left with a pouch full of gold crowns.

La Spada thirsts for a greater challenge; the reputation of the Cursed City has attracted him, as has the stories of the skilled warriors that have gathered there. He now sells his services to whoever will pay his fee – as long as there are opponents to kill, La Spada is satisfied.

Yet another OOP Dog of War sculpt plying his trade in Mordheim!

Mordheim - Heimdall Frostcaller

Hailing from the frozen and harsh land of Norsca, Heimdall has both traded with and raided the coastal towns of the Empire and Bretonnia. Following a disastrous raid against one such town, Heimdall managed to escape into the surrounding countryside.

The Norscan joined up with a variety of Mercenary Armies, serving as a musician in one of the many Norse Berserker regiments that earn their coin fighting as Dogs of War. After proving his worth, his new leader presented him with an enchanted warhorn, the Frostcaller’s Horn. Heimdall decided not to return to Norsca with his new comrades, choosing instead to travel to the infamous city of Mordheim in search of adventure and the irresistible call of gold.

Another OOP Dog of War sculpt from GW.

Mordheim - Il Guerriero di Verezzo

The famed Champion of the fighting pits of Verezzo, master of the traditional curved sword combat style and beloved hero of hundreds of bouts. The man spoken of only as Il Guerriero is an enigma to most; he is said to never remove his helm while in the company of another.

The victim of a despicable plot within his own Pit Fighting School, Il Guerriero was sold to a wealthy traveller from the Empire to use in his own bloodsport. This traveller, an influential owner of a stable of pit fighters, has issued Il Guerriero with only one instruction; to carve a bloody path through all who stand against him. Most recently he has been pitched against the many different warriors of the Empire and beyond. These fights take place in ramshackle settlements and filthy flea-ridden pits that surround the ruins of a once-proud city, a far cry from Il Guerriero’s days in Verezzo.

Another OOP GW sculpt, this time a Chaos Thug.  The helmet style reminded me of Gladiators, so he became a Pit Fighter!
