3. Making some Inua

:“A tough race used to the cold harsh wastes of the Deros System. The Planets here are similar to those of their Ancestral Worlds, being freezing wastes of snow and ice. It is the Inua who spearhead all the battles on sub-zero planets found at the furthest reaches of most star systems.”
Information provided by Bluebird in the supplements issued with the 2000AD comics consist of the above and a reference to Regar a Klan Warrior of the Klan Inua in the Pteravore supplement.
:From this very limited information we could possibly conclude that The Inua have all 3 castes associated with the Klan, Kai Unes, Warrior caste and Bor Unes. I have assumed this in my Universe.
Looking for miniatures which fall into the above category is not really too difficult, but looking for miniatures who also fall into the Karn Klan Structure I found very difficult. I then looked at the possibility of converting existing Havok miniatures. The two favourite candidates were the Karn Troopers and the Darkest Suns for no other reason, I may add, that they are the most numerous in my collection. I finally selected the Karn Troopers.
:The heads were cut off first and then the shield which on my Inua will be carried across the back in the fashion of the Klan Warriors. The replacement heads came from some Ninja Warriors from the Heroscape game, but any heads would do.
I painted the Armour cream as they are used to fighting in snow and ice so would need to be reasonably camouflaged, a few pouches and pistol holsters were painted black to afford some relief and the corrugated joint armour at the elbow, and knee joints were painted mithril silver. A wash of diluted black ink completed the figure itself. The Shield I gave a coat of metallic Sapphire Blue, and affixed a tiny star as the emblem in the middle of the shield. This gave the miniature a bit of individual identity which at first glance did not broadcast itself as a Karn Trooper.
:I have currently converted just 5 Troopers and have not given any thought to producing a Battlecard as yet. 
The Inua will be led by a Senior Kai-Une who will be called Hansaaga who will wear a Hawk Helmet in battle, for no other reason than I have one to hand! However since I think it important that we have a face to somebody as important as to be on the Inner Imperium, he will have red hair tied into a pony tail.
:I have used a model from Heroscape for him (one of the Ninja Warriors).''
