Featured in the
“Honour Guard”, the fourth Gaunt’s Ghosts novel, the Infardi are the Chaos Cult
force on the Shrine World of Hagia. The Infardi wear emerald green robes as a
mockery of the holy garments worn by the clergy of Hagia; in fact, the word
‘infardi’ itself is the sacred Ayatani word for ‘pilgrim’; a further insult to
the servants of the God-Emperor on Hagia. The leader of the Infardi is the
psyker Pater Sin, who, in the seventh novel, “Sabbat Martyr”, becomes one of
‘The Nine’ assassins dispatched by Magistrate Enok Innokenti to kill Saint
Sabbat.

Drawing
inspiration from Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series, I ‘kit-bashed’ five
Infardi Chaos Cultists, using components from several manufacturers. The bodies and the pointed hats are from the
Frostgrave Cultists set; the arms/weapons are from Wargames Factory’s Shock
Trooper set (out of production); as well, components from the Cadian Shock
Troopers, the Catachan Jungle Fighters and the Empire Flagellants sets were
used.
Honour
Guard: While the Infardi were only featured in the ‘Honour Guard’, this novel
introduced Commissar Vicktor Hark and Ayatani Zweil, who became permanent members
of the Tanith First-and-Only.

1990s.
