The style inspiration for this squad came from the miniatures and artwork of John Blanche. The inquisitor design was influenced by the Natalie Portman in 'V for Vendetta' and by the 'Sorcha' miniature by Privateer Press. Her torso comes from an imperial assasin, everything else is an original sculpture.
The bases were an interesting challenge. They are individually cast from clear resin. Each has pieces of a painted zombie miniature inbedded under the surface to create the impression of corpses frozen beneath the ice.
This squad won gold in the 40k Squad category at the Australian Golden Demon painting competition in 2006.

jamemurp, it's based on Sorcha, but not actually made from her. I would've gone to my grave swearing that it WAS a Sorscha model if she hadn't said that it was hand-sculpted around an assassin's torso!

Thanks for all the great feedback, all comments are much appreciated. Jamemurp: haha! I've not yet been disqualified for a pose. There are no PP parts in this squad, its all 100% GW or scratch. As far as I know no company has so far managed copyright a pose.

Great job. However, I am amazed that they placed it given that the Sorscha pose is so recognizable as a PP model! The freehand work is top notch.

Beautiful painting on those, the red armor and the glowing texts inside look wonderful. I also really like the individual banners, especially the one reading 'ordo'. The conversion on the inquisitor is very good, I had difficulties recognizing the original model. The icy bases are a great idea of course
