EXTRA CREDIT - INQUISITOR CONVERSION

BY ROB STODDARD

Magazine we gave you the

opportunity to experience

one of the most historic nights in

Iron Kingdoms history, the Lion’s

Coup. The night young Prince

Leto Raelthorne ﬁ ght his own

brother, King Vinter Raelthorne

IV for control of the Cygnaran

throne and the future that would

accompany it. We broke from our

tradition storytelling and brought

you the ﬁ nal confrontation in 6

amazing comic pages, a sneak

preview of what the future holds

when the Warcaster Chronicles

hits comic stores this fall, as well

as a historical campaign, complete

with 594 AR era model stats and

scenarios. Only one thing was

missing, a model or two. This was

the perfect time to put together

a small conversion and bring a

594 AR era Inquisitor to life, so

to speak. And now I am prepared

to share the journey with you. As

with all conversions, I ﬁ rst needed

the right pieces for the conversion.

After hours of searching through

bins and boxes I came across a

perfect combination.

I n issue # 7 of No Quarter

• 1 x Stormsmith Body (I prefer

the striding pose for the action)

• 1 x Set of Steelhead Halberdier

Arms (Any two arms will do,

even the ones holding the

Halberd)

• 1 x Sprue of Steelhead

Halberdier Shoulder Armor

The ﬁ nishing touch comes

with the placement of the shoulder

armor. Pick any two pieces from

the sprue. They all work great

together, I choose two of the

same but that wasn’t necessary.

Afﬁ x the armor to the top of the

shoulders, they will help cover up

the joint of green stuff and glue.

Once these dry you have a full

• 1 x Sprue of Captain Julian

Helstrom weapons

• 1 x 30mm base

We started by gluing our

Stormsmith to the 30mm base.

After adequate time to dry I

started on the arms. I went

through and dry ﬁ t each of the

Steelhead Halberdier arms to

see which two I liked the best,

I ended up with one holding a

Halberd and a second without

a hand. One of the great things

about the Steelhead arms is

the fact that the cloth pattern

matches up with the inside of the

Stormsmiths coat; this helps the

over all look of the model.

nothing too crazy, just enough for

a smooth square.

ﬂ edged Inquisitor that is ready

to be painted and bring the hurt

to any who would oppose King

Vinter Raelthorne IV. Simple,

fun, and too the point, just the

way I like a conversion. Hopefully

you’ll try your hand at your own

Inquisitor and keep an eye for

future web extra conversions,

there are quiet rumblings of the

Royal Guard some where in the

palace. Until next time...

After this I used a pin vise

and drilled into both arms and

Helstrom’s gun hand since is

sword hand already has a stub.

A sturdy pin, a few drops of glue

later and all of a sudden there are

a couple of spell slinging meat

hooks ready for the body.

The second great thing

about using Steelhead arms is the

shoulder, the Halberdier already

has a stub on the arm and the

Stormsmith has a socket on his

body with a small amount of green

stuff and super glue, perfect ﬁ t.

If you use an arm with the

Halberd like I did you’ll need

to clip off the weapon, clip it at

the wrist, right were the armor

divides. File it down a bit to get

a smooth wrist. Be certain to ﬁ le

down both wrists to ensure a good

connection with the hands. First

things ﬁ rst, Helstrom’s pistol

hand had some forearm attached,

that wouldn’t do, so again clip

it at the wrist and ﬁ le it down.

The sword hand however needs

a tiny bit of green stuff on the

back to ﬂ ush out the armor plate,
