There are 2 plastic sister heads (1 helmed, 1 not) on the new immolator upgrade sprue, selected bits from which I was lucky enough to get from Yellowbeard.

Ooh! Pg 90! Time celebrate a meaningless milestone! Also, I tried the gold armour on the torso - muuuuuch better

i agree, the turquoise is really a great colour and it suits what you're working on perfectly! you have so many projects I don't know how you keep track of them all :-) the tanks in particular are turning out suitably grim dark and chaotic (the good kind of chaos) can't wait to see paint on them? that's gonna be a big paint session!

The Damocles is brilliant, Graven. I love the hufe antenna array ln top and the interior confessional bit inspired. Nice work.

The Turquoise on the inquisitorial squad is beautiful. I really need to find a model I can paint that color....

Ha! I do suffer from terrible p&m ADD. I've got the next section of the Sanctum - the shrine - to build. And there's the fact that there's a league terrain contest. For shrines. Oh dear.

Jiminy Cricket i missed a lot in a short space of time!

Pimp-quisoitor looks great, the gold works wonderfully to pick out his armour (and his special...-ness....), i really like the face as well, and the cape and the.....you get the idea

i also missed the interior due to auto-appendicitus (i think its catching!), and i wish i hadnt because that is a touch most people dont think about (as Gits said), well done mate. on that note, the command carrier (as it were) is really coming together, i like the OTT-ness of it, mixed with the subtle touches of modelling, cant wait to see it painted

I love that turquoise! nuff said.

congrats on 90 pages! Your work really does get better with every page as well, its clear to see you learning from everything you do

Woops, meant to say go for a warding stave on the brotherhood comp (if you can) as that appears to be something you are missing.....then again, if the banner is the thing you have added then i am all for that as well!

Like the builds so far, is the base a diorama? I can see a last stand working well off that.....

The plan for the dioramic base is a big wrecked broken aquila - I'm going to cut it up and add small craters that bases will slot into.

Ooo i like the Aquila idea! I would be wary of the models looking.....lost on the aquila though, try and have (if you dont already) an idea o what they are doing/where they are going so they dont look like they are a bunch of kids lost in the dark But i have faith in you that you are at least a step ahead of me (as shown by then next comment...)


ahhh, so... yeah, i may have missed that!

Yeah, it is a worry that they might disappear, but I'm hoping that won't happen. Besides, I like the idea they've just teleported in and caused carnage - there's going to be a pile of chaos corpses...
I've also finished the basic build on the last 2 - scavenger hunting revealed mice have been at my battlefoam again, RAGE!!! - so we have the NDH guy (has a sword on his belt though):


And the incinerator guy, with brotherhood banner (I know they can't take one, don't care, they should have a brotherhood banner dagnammit!)


The observant among you will notice the fw brass. There's detailing a-coming! All of the Brotherhood of the Sword need detailing still to various degrees.

Kev Adams, renowned goblin sculptor, was brutally attacked by burglars (police treating it as attempted murder). Quite apart from how awful this is, he's a lovely, lovely guy - only had the pleasure of meeting him once but he was a real inspiration, and anyone who's collected an Ork from the 90s will have had one of his in their hands. My childhood was orks, and he's an absolute legend.

And/or check out on Facebook: goblinaid

Goblin themed auctions, to raise money to help Kev and his family. If you're going to Salute, the full set of sculpts will be on sale.

I should say that Kev is recovering well, and also Fenris Games (aka Geronimo_jones on eBay), where I get all my resin bases, who've done much to bring this to the community's consciousness.

Mini update: builds and details are done on the brotherhood, pics later - along with hopefully proper photos of =][= Andreas. Also, have found the laud-hailer I thought lost, hurrah. The lack of proper updates is weather related, btw. We have snow, which is frankly wrong in March. Clearly there is a super-villain at work.

I really want to crack on the theme of your entire project, but I have to cede because your artistry and craftsmanship is worthy of praise and admiration every time regardless of the application. The Damocles is so very OTT that I literally laughed out loud at work, and (in my mind) it perfectly exemplifies the attitude of ostensive opulence that the Adeptus Ministorum is so well known for.

Wicked good job all around. Looking forward to seeing how it looks as a combined force once it is all finished up and done. You may see an ulterior motive in that statement, but we'll skip past it for now.

Obviously.

And the board/base for the brotherhood is primed, and has had some initial zenithal shading with browns and greys. Oh, and dead csm.

Not final placement for these, at least for certain, but on these lines.
