Investigator (W40K)

I've finished another character for 'Inquisimunda' - this is Yonas Smyth, an investigator in the employ of Inquisitor Augustus Dissero Isiah.  Smyth was formerly a zealous Enforcement Marshal on the planet Heliosphan, where he sought-out & exposed corruption within government agencies, as well as stamping-out the usual criminal activities.  Inquisitor Isiah encountered Smyth during his purge of a group of anti-Imperial officials who were being directed by agents of the Alpha Legion.

The inquisitor was impressed by Smyth's dedication to pursuing corruption, even though it had cost him the life of his father, who was murdered on the orders of a senator imprisoned as a result of one of Smyth's investigations.  In return for his family being moved to another planet, safe from revenge attacks, Smyth agreed to join Inquisitor's Isiah's retinue.

Smyth always carries his trusty service stub pistol, loaded with custom 'dum-dum' bullets.  Inside his greatcoat he has a stun baton & a selection of grenades.  Though imposing in stature, Smyth is comparatively nondescript, & is the agent most likely to be employed undercover, or when blending into a crowd is necessary.  He is streetwise, resourceful, & single-minded in purpose.  He often acts as a bodyguard for less physically resilient agents, such as the inquisitor's 'pariah', Issla Black.

The figure is 'Harby', from Hasslefree Miniatures.  I used a sergeant head from the GW Cadian sprues though, as I thought the comlink & face better-suited the character that I had in mind.

  1. That's a nice conversion job. Didn't recognize it being based on the Hasslefree figure.

    1. Thanks Mark, sometimes a simple head-swap can be pretty effective.

    1. Cheers, Mordian. It's such a great sculpt by Kev White of Hasslefree that I think it's hard to go wrong with this figure - he certainly looks like he's on his way to deal out some gunishment!
