I actually really liked the angled front of the Super Heavy cathedral. It added the cathedral-esque feel without looking like someone put a cathedral on superheavy tracks. The profile body lines would look pretty sweet with the angled windows and some huge meltaredeemerholocaustmessiah cannon (or whatever else it might be) coming to bear on the world.

Keep up the good work! Subscribed!

Cheers,

That's one heck of a pose! I think it also capture a bit of the feel of the GW Celestine as well. Nice work! A little CC now. I'm not really feeling the heads on the spear. Two reasons: 1) I don't think they're really Celestine's style (not as trophies, anyway) and 2) with that giant blade and crossguard, I don't think that many heads would make it down to the shaft like with a normal spear. My 2 cents...

I've also got chains to add liberally. And I'll at least try mocking up some a few repentia as tenders. That might end up looking a bit too busy though.

Good luck on the GSing. That's when the model really comes together! About the chains and repentia, it shouldn't be too hard to mock up and take a look see. Check it out both ways and then decide (or let the Dakkites decide )

Keep up the great work!

Looking good! I have always loved the repressor kit (since I first saw it a few months ago ). I'd like to make a repressor model chimera for my ogryn. Those guys need the extra head room!

Keep up the great work!

Looking good, Zefig!

I think that base would get a bit crowded with some Repentia down there, mate. This is turning out to be a beautiful piece, and a great base will really top it off! Also, what is the legal base size for Celestine? I'm pretty sure the Painting/Modeling Compitition requires a legal base...

Keep up the good work!

Fantastic final product, Zefig! All of that hard modeling work has certainly paid off! I love the subtle OSL on the left side

Second that, really unique pattern that reminds me of more predatory birds, which fits well with the deliverer of the Emperor's Judgement

It sounds like a fun house rule; I might have to sell the guys on doing that in the future!

Your biker cannoness is looking pretty awesome, and the addition of non-standard gear makes her very memorable The eviscerator is certainly OTT, (Is it longer than she is?) have you thought about shortening it at all?

Thanks for the group pic! You trying to get all that painted by Wednesday?

Keep up the good work!
