No one expects the Inquistion! : An Inquisitorial Knights Army..

The next steps in the customization is the magnetizing and another customized Egyptian themed parts. I wanted the ability to swap out the arm and front torso weapons. For the arm, I trimmed off the flange for part #92, and then put in a small ferrous nail up the center of it. Then, with a bit of greenstuff, I installed a small magnet into the rotational joint that holds the weapon, and finished assembling it. The magnet is quite sufficient to hold the arm in place. Then I took small, flat magnets and used greenstuff and CA glue to affix them to the front weapon mounts. Adding magnets to the weapon bracket was a bit fiddly, but it was workable with a little bit of patience. Note: Make sure you have the right polarization on them when you glue them in. I also swapped out the torso shield for one that had a more egyptian look.

Once I had that done, I turned my attention to the Rapidfire Battle cannon. It has a gunshield and again, I was looking to continue the Egyptian flare, so I cut out an old-kingdom shaped shield from 2mm Sintra, and then made a reinforcing bracket out of cardstock, using the same techniques as I used on the Chain-khopesh, including adding the rivet detail. I wanted to keep the same mount housing for the cannon barrel though, so I cut away the shield from that part, and trimmed it down. I needed to cut a hole in the center to fit the mount. This was all because I just didn’t want to glue it straight on to the gun housing. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t have a good answer there. 🙂 I also added the mounting magnet to the Jackal head for the front.

Now it’s time to start thinking about painting.
