Looking good so far, chief.

Such a great cause and a great idea for a themed force, looking forward to more!

Day 26- Update

Good Afternoon Dakka,

Last evening I worked on the Champion of the Seraphim Squad. I had other things that I had needed to do yet I was complete the majority of the model. I will work on the jump pack this evening. My working on each model has been ending too late for me to post. This is why I have been posting the next day.







I will have more for you all a little late.

Comments and Questions are always welcome.

Really great stuff, the Seraphim are looking wonderful.

More please.

Day 27- Update

Good Morning Dakka,

Today I am posting the models that I have painted last night. I have completed the Seraphim Champion as you can see. I have also started to paint the fourth models. Mainly I worked on the smaller areas and medal parts. I did most of the painting of this model last weekend.

I was a little bored on the fourth model so I did something a little different. The only real thing that I could have changed is the hair. I decided to give the Seraphim raven hair with blond highlights. It did not turn out bad but I think that I will would have to go back and add a little more to bring out effect.

Really good progress so far! the squad it turn out really well!

Day 28- Update

Last night I have complete Seraphim numbers four. This was pretty easy since I have completed three prior to this one. I only have one more model left until the unit to be complete.

I have purchase a GF9 movement tray for this unit. This is more for me to try out something new. I am adding a customized movement tray that will have GW basing bitz and small dunes. I am going to magnetize the tray if it turns out how I like it. Once complete I may make one for each unit and add it to the battle board.











I will end up painting the tray. Once the unit is complete I will start the next unit or tank. Now is there anything specific that people want to see the next for the project?

Comments? Questions? Lunch?!?

Update:

I am sorry that no work was done last evening . I was extremely tired from work. This evening I will however make sure that the sister will be complete.

Looking forwad to it!!! What unit are you doing next?

I will have to work on a core unit of Battle Sisters and there Rhino. I will enjoy the small change up in working on the transport tank.

I have completed the sister from last night, I will have pictures posted ether tonight or tomorrow morning. The next unit will be a core unit of battle sister and then a Rhino transport as i said yesterday. One the core units are complete the. I will start work on some of the special additions the I spoke of. Fliers and super-heavy tank, etc.

Day 29- Weekend

Good Afternoon Dakka,

I am happy to announce that the Seraphim squad is now complete. As I said, the finished sister was done in the skin color of the Salamander chapter’s gene flaw. People can whine about fluff all that you may want but I think that it gives the unit a little difference in its feel.

I had also finished painting the movement tray for the squad. I will place magnets on the base as soon as I receive the correct ones that I had ordered.

This week I am going to start the core sister’s squads. I will be working on the Battle Sister Squad B first as well as Rhino B. Don’t worry I will create better names later on for the squad.
Saint Celestine
Uriah Jacobus
6 Celestian Squad (3 Stormbolters, Simulacrum Imperialis)
10 Repentia (1 sister superior)
Battle Sister Squad A (Heavy Bolter , Simulacrum Imperialis)
Battle Sister Squad B (Heavy Flamer, flamer, Simulacrum Imperialis)
5 Seraphim Squads (Two inferno Pistols)
5 Dominion A (2 Meltaguns)
5 Dominion B (2 Flamers)
3 Penitent Engines
Exorcist
Rhino Celestian
Rhino A
Rhino B
Immolator A
Immolator B

Due to the size of the project and the minimum space on the battle board I will have to reduce the sizes of some of the so that the units will fit. I have already taken in to account on the size and layering of the battle board terrain place in this project. If you had already notice I had changed the Seraphim Squad from ten to five. This is not only to make room but also avoid too many similar models in repetition as has already been don already.











Please to not forget I am always around to listen to commends and answer questions. I love to hear what you guys have to say.

Update-

I will have some updates and picture up later this evening.

Day 30-

Good morning Dakka,

As I had done in the past I started this week by cleaning models of mold lines and loose bitz of metal. Once the bitz are removed, I primed the models. After giving the model ample time to dry I then start on the skin tones of the models. The out of the ten Battle Sisters, eight are without helmets. I am making three with the Caucasian and three with Africa skin tones. The finally two will be with the Asian skin tones. I am going to search for a new way to make a couple new skin tones that will make the sisters different from each other.









Tonight I am going to start to work on the sister’s armor. I will mass produce each unit of core armors bases colors. This is easier for me. Once that is over I will work on the highlight one by one to make each piece as well painted as each other.

I cannot wait to work on the transport since I have a lot of ideas for the designs for each and every tank.

Please let me know what you think.

What iconography are you going to put on the banner? Pink ribbon? Seems a good spot to say something.

I have plans on making the Celestian sqaud's Simulacrum Imperialis into a army banner. This will have an Angel with wearing a pink shaw. This is represent the Pink ribbon of the Breast Cancer Awareness. Each unit will have something in the unit that will give the same representation.

Some really good progress on here! Lokve the viried skin tones too!

Update-

Good evening dakka,

I had a little setback on my post because my work has blocked DAKKa website. I need to make sure by the end of the night I will have my posts up. This will be up in my work just for little while. I will do the best I can with the time that I have.

I will see you all tomorrow evening with my posts

Day 31-

Good Afternoon Dakka,

I have not posted for the past week but I am not here to disappoint. This week have all been about shopping and trying new things. I will start with the basic work of The Battle Sisters Squad B, soon I will have and better name so do not threat. This week I worked on the pinks and greys on the armor. This was done with the same set up as all previous models. Then I decided to work on the Simulacrum Imperialis. I wanted the weathering on the scroll to be more worn then all others since it is a holy relic.







I finally wanted to try something a little different this week and the Arts and Craft store Michael gave me that chance. I was able pick up airbrush and some plywood. The airbrush received good reviews. This will help me with some of the work on my project. The plywood is for an experiment that I wanted to see that I could do. I wanted to make movement trays for all of my sisters. This will help with moving them in the future. Why are the Seraphim Squad so special.

I used the design of the Gale Force Nine movement as the basis of this idea. I start by measuring the GF9 movement tray to see the thickness on the tray. This you will see the tray itself is not just one piece of plywood but two. I trace the base of 10 models on the wood, since that is that max that I am using, and then cut them out by using a dremil. Once the holes are cut, I then use Gorilla wood glue and clamp one piece of plywood to another. Once glue dried, I thing dremiled the plate in the shape that I desired. Once I received the desired shape I then sandpapered the plate smooth and then added the sand and terrain piece I wanted.












I will have more for you all tomorrow. Please tell me how I am doing. Please show your support. Ask questions or leave comments. I like to hear from you all.

Night

Update-

Tonight I will be able to finish up a couple sisters for all of your viewings.

Enjoying your blog and love the color scheme. it rocks

Nice work on the latest units.

I really like the use of highlights in the hair, I found it really difficult to get variet in the heads of my SoB when I painted them.

Also, the Seraphim with the grey face...the colour looks too similar to the grey in the armour in my opinion (or maybe it's the pictures). Thought I'd mention it.

The movement tray is going well, but I think sisters will need to come first

Day 32-

Good evening Dakka,

I will need to apologies about today’s post. It will not contain any pictures since I left my phone at work.

I am at a little snag in the project that I was hoping that the fans here and the Dakka community may be about to help with. You see my project contacts a large amount of models yet it seems that that battle board, which is armies on parade legal, may not be about to contain all that that I wish to place in it.

You all must realize that I wish to wow people with what I am going to add to this project. I do not wish for the battle board to just be a plain, flat 2x2 board. I am constructing sand covered ruined cathedral. I only have so much room to work with so I am asking for suggestions that my help me in this problem. I am also asking people for what units they want to see and which ones that can sit out unit a later date.

Update-

Good Evening Dakka,

Do not worry all I have not forgotten you. This week I have taken a break in my project to get my thoughts around where I am going with it. You see I started to realize that my project calls for a lot of models yet the battle board would not be able to fit all of them. I held this week as a break so I can cut off the fat in areas and create a collective wish list that I want done.

Just today, I started to have one on my mad scientist light bulb go one. My friends saw the crazy look in my eyes and they just went “Ohhhh gak”.

I am currently obtaining the correct amount of funds to do what I want with my battle board. The idea that I am committing myself to will cost me around $100 in materials and $350 in GW terrain. The funds are what are holding my back currently. I will be about to make up the money in around three months. This money is not even a part of the Sister Super heavy and flier that I plan to build. Now does everyone realize why I am making this for armies on parade 2013?

I hope that people could lend me some ideas or other things that my help me in my journey.

Please tell me what you all thing. How I am doing? What you think about the project? Show me the love!

Big fan of what you've been doing with this, the models you're producing are looking great.

Although I'm still convened that one of your Seraphim’s skin tone is too grey and very similar the grey in the armour.

What exactly are you planning for the board? Is it a trade secret?

I first want to thank you on the compliment on the project. I am working hard for you and the rest of dakka to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

I agree that the grey does match the armour. The problem that I had is that it is extremely hard to vary the shades of grey for the black onyx skin tone. Using that greys that I did still give me the desired effect of the Salamanders skin tone without losing the highlights within the face. I had previous tested this on several space marine models prior to the painting of this Seraphim.

For the battle board questions, it is not a trade secret at all. I am currently drawing up that design so that I could show you and everyone else the vision that I plan to make reality. What I can tell you right not is that it will first fit on the 2 x 2 battle board square. It will be a monastery imbedded in the side on a mountain which the only to entrances will be a two flight platforms that lead into the cavernous mountain and a blast door that leads into the underground platform. When the sketch is complete, you all will have a better visual aid in knowing where I am going with it.
