 <p>The truth is that I have few things in my wishlist of miniatures. </p>

<p>I started very young with Warhammer 40.000 so for example I am proud of owning a Rogue Trader Space Marines box (almost two squads), MK.I <a href="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/IMG_2655.jpg">Rhinos (two), a Predator</a> and <a href="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/IMG_2657.jpg">a Landraider</a>.</p>

<p>I've been collecting for years some wanted miniatures, and for example my Eldar army comes almost fully from second-hand miniatures (like 90% of the army). Everything except a Falcon, the dreadnought and some plastic troops are old metal units.</p>

<p>I might try to get some old Genestealer hybirds somewhere in the future (for my <a href="https://theelderthoughts.blogs.kartones.net/post/genestealer-hybrids-conversion-wip">genestealer cult</a>) but it is really low priority.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>But... when I was young I always wished I could have tho specific miniatures (I didn't ever saw them in local stores), the two <b>Inquisitor Terminators</b>. One with a breathing mask and a hood, the other with beard and a cybernetic leg. Specifically, this two dudes:</p>

<p>My friend Vicente told me a while ago that one of the shopping websites we use (<a href="http://www.nobleknight.com/">Noble Knight</a>) had all kinds of second-hand goods, not only books and boardgames. So a few weeks ago I tried finally to actively search for this inquisitors, remembered that comment... and found one assembled and base-coated in black for just 15$ (At ebay I've seen things like 50$ minimum for a sealed box one, without detailing the pieces inside apart from a crappy photo).</p>

<p>I risked and bought it... And I made the right choice, because it arrived in really good shape and I've just started painting it:</p>

<p>So far only has a finished black base coating, dark grey for the armor and light grey tending to white for the hood and skulls.    <br>No highlighting and most stuff not even started, but the color scheme is in place and I'm glad with how it looks.</p>

<p>Also as you can notice it has some excess lead not removed in some areas, the original owner didn't cared much when assembling it... But I have already taken them out (were not so easy to spot with the black mini).</p>

<p>One of the two Inquisitors obtained, one left :)</p><p><i><b>Update</b></i>: Thanks to ebay I was able to find the other inquisitor, yay! My greatest collector's dream came true :D<br></p>
