Walk me closer! I WANT TO HIT IT WITH MY SWORD!

The view you *don't* want of Inquisitor Karamazov 
This insane model turned up on a local trading site late last year and, honestly, I couldn't not buy it. Fyodor Karamazov is one of the coolest models ever created for 40K and for the Inquisition range.

It's an insane combination of servitors bolted into a throne on the top of a dreadnought durdling about the place shooting things with a multimelta and the man on the back (looking like he should probably have a tartan rug over his knees) then hits them with a power sword. It's vaguely reminiscent of the illustration of Mad Hamish in the Discworld book 'The Last Hero.'

One of the original greaves was missing so between my own bits box and the nice chap who fixed me up with the model, I fitted a couple of Venerable Dreadnought greaves and he looks good as new. He also wound up on one of the scenic bases that comes with the Dreadnought kit that I've never really found the cause to use.

The view you *do* want of Inquisitor Karamazov
I need to complete all the scrolls but I'm still thinking about how I want to do that. I've got some transfers to go on them, for eagles and skulls and things I can't paint, but I haven't quite designed the layouts yet.

He'll be going into a force with Inquisitor Greyfax I think. I'm quietly designing lists for all three Ordos and working through the painting lists to get there. Greyfax will bring her escort of Scions and Karamazov will be rolling in with all the crazy that I have in my collection of Acolytes now!

I also have zero idea how to transport him! This is definitely in the same category as the old Khador Behemoth - firmly in sock-jack territory.

Next Time
That's a very good question. I've got all sorts of random things on the painting table at the moment so we'll see. HMMWVs? Guardsmen? Vehicles?
