Canoness Evangeline may be your best yet. I love the dynamism in the pose and the flowing robes.

Thanks, JohnHwangDD! Like her, too. Think she'll get a nice place in the hobby room.

Fantastic project!

Amazing sculpts!

Three WIPs:

Canoness Alessa (the finished one is found above)



Canoness Josepha Evangeline (the finished one is found above)



Palatine Sister Mica

“When the angels come to them, they will not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove, but they will know our presence by the blades in their treacherous hearts.” - Palatine Sister Mica of the Order of the Cleansing Blade.





Palatines are the martial arts mistresses of their order dedicated to achieve perfection in their individual fighting skills as well as teach their fellow sisters. In battle they can be employed as lone fighters putting their skills up to the test against champions of the enemy or as leaders of elite Battle Sister troops. Mica serves as the Sister Superior of an infamous Seraphim squad, the Angry Angels, who excel in spectacular deep strikes as well as in intercepting enemy jump infantry, their favorite prey in the name of the Emperor being Raptors.

Mica’s my latest take on Seraphim. When the Geminae were released it became pretty easy to convert your own Seraphim and the 2019 plastic Seraphim probably will look quite similar to the Geminae. For Mica I wanted a different, slimmer torso, because you probably are more maneuverable when you are on the petite side. The tip of her power lance is copied from Ephrael to include at least one thing from the metal range, the face is from Statuesque. Instead of a flight stand or the Geminae seals I chose a ruined pillar. Maybe I’m going to make more characters of the Angry Angels.

Another WIP Seraphim. She has two wrist mounted and belt fed storm bolters to add some fire power to the squad.

_THAT_ is freakin' cool!

Have you thought of a way to have expended brass falling from the ejecting ports? Maybe glued to a bit of very lightweight fishing line and attached to the bolters?

I did up a couple of Urban Mammoth Archangels that way, once upon a time....

Excellent work!

Thanks, Meer_Cat!

I'd like to see what you have done. My last experiment with fishing line to make some free flying birds became a complete and utter mess and the line was clearly visible. So while I love the idea I don't think I can do that in a convincing way. Still struggeling with the green stuff belts, because they won't cure properly (tried heat, a little CA), it was an alomst 20 year old batch I found in a box. Think they'll get a thin coat of CA or 2 part epoxy glue or I'll redo them.

Thanks for bringing the Urban Mammoth minis back to my attention. Almost forgot about them. There are some nice sculpts. Maybe I need to place an order prior to Brexit.

I never did take photos at the time, I'll dig them out and see if they are worth taking pics now to post up- as I recall (this was several years ago) I had seen the trick done and the guy was very good. Mine, the line was visible, partly because I was a bit ham handed getting the CA glue to try to stick long enough in one place- it fogged the nylon line. I tried to hide it with pulled apart and stained cotton ball material to make it look like the jet pack was whooooshing, but the attempt was pretty lame.

I'll have to try again, see what I can do now that I'm older, wiser, blinder, shakier.....

Really impressive conversions and painting and the photos really bring it to life with the background. I love the unique look of many of the Sisters on here. They have some attitude. I like it.

Same. In addition, the centre of gravity was off on all of the birds and they looked as if they were dying midflight.

Thanks, Rids! Much appreciated.

„Those traitors smell like they might need a shower… A shower of bolter rounds!” – Seraphim Sister “Stormy” Sandy of the Order of the Cleansing Blade

Sandy is a young as well as trigger happy member of the infamous Seraphim squad known as the Angry Angels providing her Sisters with massive fire power from the two wrist mounted and belt fed storm bolters she owes her nickname to.

Guess I'll make some more Seraphim

This blog continues to impress... especially notable are those scenic flight bases, the belt-fed bolters, and the hairstyles you've chosen. All really beautifully executed!

Thanks a lot, MacPhail!

Another "Angry Angel" Seraphim Sister WIP. This time with a 2-handed power sword.

Fantastic conversions there Max Moray.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks, Captain Brown!

Finished another Angry Angel





“I am just a small girl with a big sword trying to find some heretic to kill.” Seraphim Sister Maria Lynn of the Order of the Cleansing Blade

If one had to pick the one dominant characteristic of Maria Lynn, it would be her incredible modesty. Highly skilled with her Seraphim jump pack she enjoys skydiving into dense enemy formations separating heads and limbs from bodies with her ancient two handed power sword.

Playing around with Amalia Novena, Brown Stuff, Blue Stuff and Magic-Sculpt… both versions WIP...




Me: “Amalia’s gun is so big compared to the source art. I’ll use a smaller one.”

Also me: “There can be no rest, while the enemies of the Emperor are not reduced to ash.”

Definitely like the officer/sergeant/veteran on the left- the pose is very dynamic and the proportions are spot on. The heavy gunner on the right is well-proportioned and realistic, but the melta looks a little bent, at least in this pic. I think it's the equipment bunched at the butt end of the weapon; in an unpainted state it looks like part of the weapon and isn't in line with the mechanism.

Having said that, I can't even come close to what you achieve, so well done! Very happy to see new works coming out.

Thanks a lot, Meer_Cat!

I am not entirely happy with the retributor, either (mostly because of the right hand grip), but I had this magnificient RH ("Domino Jax") flamer with all its gimmicks modified and wanted to try it out on a sister. The "bent" part you are referring to is the second fuel tank (it's not well visible in the potato pic). It sits at an oblique angle to allow a rear grip. Think I'll paint it up to see if it makes sense. It's easily cut off if it does not.

More great conversions Max Moray.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks, Captain!

Built some Repentia. Was fun. Considering building more with additional poses.








Scratch built from mostly Brownstuff and Magic Sculpt with a lot of detail press molds... Prodos Crusader torsoes and legs, GW Escher arms, WGE eviscerators and some heads, some GW Stormcast and Raging Heroes heads, green stuff chains and partly hoods.

Canoness Septima, bringer of the purge, flame of purity and protector of faith leading her Sisters from the front.





As usual made from Brown Stuff and Magic-Sculpt. Detail press moulds for the body: Amalia, bolter: some Raging Heroes sister, sword: the new jailbirds, backpack: metal canoness, head: some EGW sister.

Love the facial detailing and the lensed eye- terrific addition!

Thanks, Meer_Cat! Glad you like her.

Some group photos of the Order of the Cleansing Blade (also known as about 15 Euros of putty, a once damaged set of Celestine and some spare bases).

Great army shots, love the tone across the army, with that rich red against the black and white.

I never actually posted it, but of your latest girls I really dig Mica, and Sandy is rock solid as well.

Thanks for your feedback, Boss Salvage. Hopefully more of these 'special forces' Seraphim will follow.
