Oh my... being an art history fanatic this made me gasp and hyperventilate a bit! Glad I'm not the only one who has thought of putting a bit of religious iconography on 40k.

Can you please try doing a St. Celestine Pieta? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Most impressive!

There actually is a small amount of blood on the spear, but I always assumed that a Nemesis weapon would seal the wound mostly, so it wouldn't be terribly gory if it were a straight puncture.

Very nice indeed!
Since you have an interrest, I think I recal Michael had wings like some exotic bird (not a peacock was it? red and gold perhaps) in early and medieval art, but obviously the divine white/silver is far from blasphemous.
Again, very nice model, and great theme.

Really fine looking. Like it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Wow... Just wow!

**Small, Far Away**

That's a badass Dreadnought. Which is exactly what we wanted.

Impressive and poetic!

I am wondering if St Michael was dragon slayer, I thought it was St.George.

**Archangelsr_uk**

This is amazing. Beautiful work

We've already had this discussion on this forum. St Michael is also depicted as a dragon slayer. I promise. I have an icon if it hanging in my house. George is killing a dragon from horseback, which doesn't really work for a dreadnought.

I'll put this paint job into algebraic form:
mm+p=b

In words:
