Hello All, thanks for checking out my latest offerings to the Paint Gods! I saw on  Neverness’ Hobby Blog a Hobby event to paint an Inquisitor in August and I hadn’t planned on doing Greyfax anytime soon but I do like a community challenge. A long time ago I bought the boxset including Belasarius Cawl (still to do), Celestine (commissioned) and Inquisitor Katarinya Greyfax, so finally after several years I present Inquisitor Greyfax - slightly modified.
I detest the silly Witchhunter broad brim hat the original is wearing as she is a puritan Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus so I swapped for a Skitarii Alpha head which I think is a vast improvement. And the added bonus of not having to paint a face - why fork out for the best wargear and then expose your face to a stray bullet from a Hive low life or random Grot?! And this will filter the air, you ain't no Space Marine my dear Inquisitor!

I also got rid of the 'steampunk' exhausts of the power pack and replaced it with a standard SM exhaust vent (fun fact - on Space Marines they are not exhausts - they are jet stabilisers for void movements, the exhausts for the heat exchangers are the four square small tabs to the bottom) but not sure what Greyfax would do with one stabiliser - so here its an exhaust!
I also trimmed the Condemner Pattern Boltgun and got rid of the 'Van Helsing' Crossbow attachment... the blessed silver stakes will have to make do with traditional propellant - much better in my opinion, sorry sculpter - I love the model but silly hats and steampunk exhausts and crossbow Bolters were not my cup of tea.

And I painted the 40K equivalent of Christian Louboutins with red soles... well, a girl has to look good purging heretics! I do love the ridiculous power armour high heels and the figure hugging curves - quite silly, but grimdark silly, I used muted metallics to avoid highlighting the 'boobplate' and restore some 'grey' to Greyfax. The power pack is fairly muted and functional, as is the weapon.

"Faith. In the right hands, it is Humanity's greatest weapon. Yet even the finest blade is rendered fallible by its wielder. In the wrong hands, the mighty sword of faith can do more hurt to the Emperor's Realm than can all the treacherous daemons of the Warp combined. This is why those who profess to be the most holy amongst us must be put to the sternest test."

So there you have it, a modified and more battle ready Inquisitor Greyfax - ready to purge Heretics and Daemons and Abaddon... and look good whilst doing it.
