Innocence Proves Nothing

Man-kinds strongest tool against the alien, daemon, and the heretic is the Inquisition. A secret organization  unknown to the population of the Imperium, the Inquisition is built up of three different Ordos. The Ordo Hereticus is by far the largest of the the three Ordos and it is its members job to watch for enemies within. The Ordo Malleus contains the most incorruptible and dangerous Inquisitors, and is assigned to defend man-kind from daemons. Lastly, The Ordo Xenos is skilled at defending man-kind from aliens. Each of these Ordos has their own military group. The Astartes of the sixth hundred sixty sixth chapter are one of the most specialized force at fighting daemons, and as such, are permanently attached to the Ordo Malleus. The Deathwatch is the most dedicated and skilled at fighting aliens and forms the chamber militant of The Ordo Xenos. The Adepta Sororitas, are in charge of the Black Ships and also form the chamber militant of the Ordo Hereticus.

That's one long intro for a small post so before I go more in depth about the Inquisition I should probably cut to the point. For awhile I have been working on a small Inquisitorial army. The thing that really stands out about it is that most of the pieces in the force are kit bashed. From a lone Grey Knight Shadow Sword to a Deathwatch Command Squad, every piece has a unique look. My goal for this force is to get a few units from each Ordo. This is going to be a more of a display army. So far I have a command squad from the Deathwatch, a Shadow Sword, and a small squad from the Grey Knights. Here are the forces of the Ordo Xenos I have so far. Oh, each piece also has a name.
Brother Captain Titus of the Ultra Marines, seconded to the Deathwatch, leads my Command Squad/ Kill Team. This is a  easy piece to make, its all from the captain set except for the helm, sword, and torso. They are from the Black Templar Chapter Upgrade set.

Inquisitor Drake Valius, armed with Conversion Beamer and Force Sword. Ordo Xenos. The Conversion Beamer is made from an arm of a servitor and the cape is made of green stuff. All the rest of the pieces come from the Black Templar Chapter Upgrade set.

The whole squad. They were built using the Command Squad set along with bits from just about most of the Space Marine sets.

 The Grey Knight portion of the army is in dire need of new pieces, three out of four metal pieces, that's not too great. 
Old Grey Knights...
The entire force. The Shadow Sword is painted in the colors of the Grey Knights.
I still need pieces from the Ordo Hereticus to finish off this army. The organization of the force is the Deathwatch forms the back bone of the army while the Grey Knights and Sisters of Battle are the more elite units. I've been working on the Deathwatch a lot lately as they will be staring in a upcoming battle report and I am sure thats something you will really not want to miss.
