These figures are Inquisitorial Castellans, soldiers who are assigned to protect the local Inquisitorial Chapter house. Ranging in number from ten to thousands, they are heavily armed, very loyal, but not necessarily well trained. Very occasionally they are loaned out by the Lord Inquisitor to assist other inquisitors with tasks, typically involving the censure of other Inquisitors.
Built from the current Empire handgun/crossbow troops, I thought that the pose suited pavises, and armed them with a bolter arquebus, which I imagine to hit as hard as a bolter pistol, but at longer range.
The corporal of the group has an actual bolter pistol of an archaic pattern.
More Inq28 to come in the next post.

Pretty nice! I like them a lot, they instil that Blanchesque vibe :)
Neat. I take it you may be bringing these to the game. I also liked those Fantasy figures from your last post. I've been thinking about getting some Reaper villagers.
These look great - perfect for inquisitorial mooks. Nice work mate.
Some times (most of the time?) I build these guys for compulsion rather than game reasons. So we will see if they make an appearance.
Always nice to see some classic 6th Ed bits get a work in :D Really like the idea and themes of the unit. Have you seen GW Duncan's houehold guard in the 40th yr WD?
@Sebastian, no not yet, that issue is sitting on my night stand right this moment.
Yeah I held off reading in some kind of bizarre reverence. It was well put together, though they deftly avoided a lot of what else used to be in the very early WD.
Either way, look forward to your thoughts when you do! :)
