The basic model is Preacher Joseph, with the arms moved about slightly to change the pose. The hammer was removed and Covenant's power sword put in its place in the right hand (with extra purity seals to make it more Imperial), the gauntleted left hand had the angel thingy removed and now holds an autopistol made from an Ork slugga, with the purity seal from the original Joseph model.

Covenant's shotgun/book combo was added, then the number on his forehead was removed (by means of three really thick coats of vomit brown paint). The scroll and box from a Space Marine attack bike, a medi pack made from an IG comlink and some odd pouches were added to the belt.

Falamandrius Glunt's life has been one of change with only one constant: his unrelenting devotion to the God-Emperor.

Born to Andreas and Elise Glunt on Toven III in the Ulthima segmentum he was brought up in strict accordance with the Imperial Creed. Although at best an average academic at school and abysmal at athletic pursuits he had a knack for theological studies and remarkable faith, and so was sent to the Veneris XIII Eclesiarchical College to train as a preacher. Here he received training in the history of the Imperium as a whole and the Adeptus Minstorum in particular, along with the basic training in combat and medicine which the College teaches to its future clergymen.

Glunt's first assignment after graduation was as a junior preacher in one of the main Imperial shrines on the world, although he quickly progressed to holding responsibility over a parish of his own. At the age of twenty-nine he was called upon to accompany Missionary Supremus Ichieb on his journey to the outlying regions, where he served for a further twenty-one years before being granted a warrant to act as one of the Tovenite free Missionaries, whose task it is to spread the word of the Imperial Creed in general, and the Tovenite sub-sect in particular, to humans throughout the galaxy.

His service to the Inquisition in general, and Inquisitor Turhan in particular, began during an incident on Rovanat IV. During a cult uprising the Inquisitor in charge of restoring order called for volunteers from among the servants of the Emperor to supplement the forces at his disposal, and Glunt was one of those who stepped forward. Glunt fought with remarkable devotion and bravery that day, leading forward one of the ragtag militias to victory against the forces of chaos. Inquisitor Turhan recognised in Glunt a man who would be willing to fight any of the Emperor's foes without fear, and so asked him to join the ranks of his warband. Glunt accepted this honour and, whilst his personal combat skills are average at best, his faith in the Emperor and bloody-minded opposition to all the foes of the Imperium make him a valued companion.

Several years later, when Turhan was attached to Inquisitor Lord Dumont's taskforce, Glunt followed. He has continued to prove both his worth to the team and his abysmal aim time and time again, and has also formed an enmity with Special Persecutor Sloan, who he considers an impious ignorant with a depressingly negative personality. Sloan reciprocates, thinking Glunt an inept prayer-mumbler with an awesome superiority complex and an inappropriate sense of humour.
