Tau Inquisitor Force And Review

I received 3 Tau 54mm figures from Papah (papahminis@gmail.com)  You can also find them on ebay (http://picclick.com/?q=54mm+tau).



Package Arrives

 3 blisters and one dead human. :-)  Each blister contained a slightly different poses.  

All the Tau figures had the same body, but had different arms and weapon hand hold positions.  Papah also provided a few extra heads.  Papah did an incredible job designing these figures in such a way that there a so many poses.

As far as the figures go, the sculpts were extremely clean.  Zero flash.  I decided to pin the figures.  I went about it by pinning each arm, and the hands.  I used green stuff to help adhere the pieces to the body.

Each figure came with the following

• 1 Pulse Carbine or Pulse Rifle.  You have the option of choosing it.  To make the pulse rifle you need to cut the Pulse Carbine.  I didn't attempt this.
• Backpack
• Sword
• 2 arms
• Head 
• Should pad
• helmet antenna 

 When pinning the figures, I felt the metal easier to drill than GWs metal figures.  It seem slightly softer for drilling, which made it much easier.



Quality of the figures is top notch.  There is a lot of detail, which painters will love.



Here is my setup when putting the figures together.

• Drill
• Dill bits
• Zap-a-Cap glue
• Green Stuff
• Plyers
• Round 40mm bases

Tau Proxies 54mm Inquisitor Size Comparison

Here are some size comparisons of the Tau Proxy figures I recently received.

As you can see they fit extremely well with other Inquisitor figures and are absolutely gorgeous miniatures.

54mm Inquisitor Tau Proxies

So you love everything Tau and since GW never came through producing any good 54mm figures, along comes papahminis@gmail.com. Papah sent me some samples of his 54mm Tau Proxies, that IMO are some of the best 54mm figures out there.

You can find them on Ebay http://picclick.com/?q=54mm+tau

In the next few days I will be putting up some comparison pictures of what these bad boys look like.

Inquisitor 54mm Pinning Figures

I have had a few figures laying around that I thought I would pin. They have been collecting dust for years and I finally got around to putting them together.

54mm Space Marine Inquisitor Conversion

Working on a conversion of a 54mm Space Marine for Inquisitor. I had to cut the legs at the knee, cut one foot off, and cut the lower body. Then I proceeded to pin everything together. Now I am on the hunt for a Space Marine Helmet.

Inquisitor 54mm Proxies

Since GW hasn't made Inquisitor models in quite some time, I decided to see if any proxies have been made.

So far I have come across 2 really good candidates.

Papah-Minis has an excellent Tau Alien type proxy called the Alien Commander 2.0.  Obviously a ton of work was put into this model and from the looks there are a ton of options you can choose from.

You can email papahminis@gmail.com to get all the info.

For those who love Squats, Sciborminiatures.com has some fantastic looking Ogres that are dead ringers for Squats.  They even have power fists.  With a little conversion you can even add a beard to these figures and you are good to go.

Ulrik von Octoberfest is a 28mm scale resin miniature. Height from Feet to Eyes: 51mm, total height with base 74mm.
