To be an Inquisitor, you've got to be a dirty girl.

 
So I've been playing with my Inquisitors and their servants again.  I like the idea of them being dirty, gritty, obsessed folk when they're on the hunt.  And they're ALWAYS on the hunt.  See what you think.
 
First up, the Inquisitor herself.  I'll use her as Valeria or make up an entirely new one (this is most likely) on my own.  I really wanted to focus on the grime buildup of hunting down heretics in the dredges of a hiveworld.  I'm not entirely happy with her sword, but the model is old and rough metal.  Despite my efforts to smoothe it out, it fought me at every turn on that blade.  I hope I came up with something passable:
 



 
 
Creeping into the background you can see her record servitor, Rufus.  He is worthy and dutiful, like a good mindless servant of the Inquisition should be.  He takes exceptional notes, and though his role as administrative assistant takes him to the most forbidding places in the Empire of Man, he doesn't complain.  Good secretary.  Good, good secretary.  I wanted the same grime cakes and a little leakage from him as his maintenance is overdue from the stress and strain of the hunt:
 


 
A close-up of the dirty girl.  Its funny, I put A LOT into the details and shading on this model.  Then I threw the filth at it.  Can't see most of my work, the checkerboard detailing on the inside hem of her duster is almost non-identifiable in the pics.  You can see it a little better in person.  I'm still pretty excited about the results.
 
 
 
As always, feedback is appreciated.  I know I don't post often, as I get irritated trying to take decent pictures with my cell phone LOL.  Thanks for looking!
