Hezekiah Kresk - Dark Judge

Some times the law is not enough to restrain law breakers. In those situations, the authorities call on the Dark Judges, a shadowy arm of the Adeptus Arbites. The Dark Judges dispense a form of justice, brutal and terminal, unhindered by the niceties of formal law enforcement protocols or procedures.* 
Kresk could find a home in a number of retinues with his knowledge of the law, together with his skills to bypass it!
Kresk  is a pretty straightforward build - Space Marine scout with a Skitarii helmet. While the build was easy, the painting wasn't: this was one of those frustrating figures where the first paint job just doesn't work, so I had to strip him down and start again. The paint scheme is a little homage to / pale imitation of Johan over at The Convertorum. If you haven't seen his stuff, do yourself a favour. Imaginative conversions, coupled with superb painting.

Expect to see a bit more 40Kish stuff coming down the pipe. I'm plotting one or two Pulp Alley campaigns in this setting next year, and with my slow painting I need a run-up!

*Aussie readers, perhaps the Imperium recruits them from the Gold Coast police?

  2. The conversion work is super effective and so it is the paintjob! I like the tones you used there, pretty nice.

    1. Thanks,it is a very simple conversion, but it definitely says Arbites. And I was glad the colours worked after butchering the paint scheme the first time.
