I think to give it a more Salamanders feel you should add a drake's head casting to the front of the bolter where the barrel should be, and have the barrel sticking out of the drake head's mouth.

I have a few suggestions for the sergeant, sorry if I offend your work...

1) Dragon/Drake scales and skins should adorn the Sergeant in places, perhaps dangling from the shoulder pads or backpacks, or even perhaps the skins being used as loincloths for the veterans.

2) As suggested above, the power armor should be of an older type or mark, something along the lines of a Mk. V. You could also combine fragments of different marks of armor, to show further that the Salamanders are master forgers.

3) I believe lorewise there shouldn't be an Iron Halo on the Sergeant's backpack. If I remember correctly (please correct me if I'm wrong) only certain veterans, Captains, and Chapter Masters carry Iron Halos.

Otherwise, I really like what you're doing. Can't wait to see it textured.

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "42" is the supposed answer to life, the universe, and everything, from a computer's perspective. Thus I say Model 42 because the idea is that the weapon would solve anything.

Sorry for the extremely long rant, I was just trying to make suggestions.

Two questions:

1) Is that a laser-pointer above the barrel? If it is, be sure to add a button somewhere near either the front handguard or near the trigger group.

2) Do you have a pattern-name for this beauty?

The standard Imperial issue Grenade Launcher usually has the forward handgrip to the side, and the rear portion of it should be a bit longer to give it more of a balanced look and feel.

As for the revolver, be sure to add the Imperial Aquila on one of the sides to give it n "Inquisitorial Feel". Otherwise, it looks very beefy. As for the name, I suggest not a nickname, but a more militaristic name to it, and have the Inquisitor engrave the nickname above the Imperial Aquila. Also it seems that the revolver is missing its trigger and trigger guard. Hopefully you could do some weird Victorian-aged Dueling Pistol curved-ish thing going on on the trigger guard. I think the revolver would also look better if you gave it a more "lavish" look (because, as you know, some Inquisitors have even the most basic lasgun engraved and plated ornately).

I nominate the name to be the "Anti-Heretic Large-Caliber Long-Barreled Stub Revolver, Model 42" (Hopefully some of you will get the "42" reference)

Can't wait to see the final models for the weapons, and I'm looking very forward to being able to play the game.
