Wonderful

I love your coordinated bases and your static grass is superbly realistic.

so awesome, where do you find this scenic base ?

Thanks all!

This is great value (but must be used very close to bases):

It's scratch built from plastic and other bits.

Rapport d'étape! Dominions sont peints , prêt à fonder . La photo est pas grande que je devais utiliser le flash , mais vous obtenez l'idée !

J'ai déjà du mal à me motiver pour peindre mes soeurs de bataille, lorsque je vois le niveau de détails que tu arrives à obtenir sur du 6mm, je me dis que je vais attendre encore un peu.

Yo ! AWESOME.... just a question : how did you handle the backpacks being separate from the main bodies ? And the heavy weapons.... I guess the answer is "precisely & precautionously", but I expect a tip ! (I've glued... both fingers, but not the backpack....).

Thanks! Yes, backpacks are fiddly and sometimes don't stick properly. I use superglue with brush (e.g. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/sg_brush/overview/Loctite-Super-Glue-Brush-On.htm)

Put a little drop of glue on the back of the mini and hold between forefinger and thumb in one hand, gluing surface angled down. Take backpack between forefinger and thumb of your other hand, surface to attach angled up. press the two together and as you press, shift the backpack onto your thumb only. This way you can see how it's positioned more easily. Find the spot where backback is least inclined to wobble. Hold and don't move for at least 30 seconds. Because there will naturally be too much glue for the surface area, you have to wait longer for the excess glue to dry. Blow on the mini to help with drying.

If it doesn't work the first time, clean off old glue and try again...

Hope this helps!

Yep, the red part is the trickiest.... whilst gluing 100 sistas, this means : 1 hour NOT MOVING and blowing on thiny women with guns... I won't tell my wife about this

I was just wondering how much time you spend gluing them....

Maybe the first time I'll spend more time gluing than painting...

Amazing job, elsmore, as usual! would there be any chance of a close-up shot of only one sister (choose the one you like best)? I was toying with the idea of making a small list for pocket 40K but was not sure the minis would appeal... and it looks like you are doing them great justice!

Haha - I show my wife but I don't think she's noticed what they are!

Thanks! Ah, showing macro is always disheartening - every shortfall shown at super size! But just for you. I can assure you these sculpts are amazing - possibly my favourite even when comparing them to other ranges from the same sculpter.

Wonderfull job, very inspiring for me!

yep, color me impressed, Elsmore! thanks for the closeup, and congratz: you really made the color scheme pop!

Wonderfull 28mm painting... wait... that's 6mm?

La progression! 2x Seraphim, 1x Retributors. Je corrigeais les Dominions depuis que je fait quelques erreurs dans la peinture.

Suivante dans la file d'attente:

8 baser sœurs de bataille
23 réservoirs
4 avion
baser scenic
cathédrale

Je peux peut-être terminer avant Noël ?? 50/50

! Impressive ! The detail level and sheer quantity of sistas is more than amazing !
I knew you were able to do it, but seeing it makes me doubt about my own talents.... and capacity to do it on such a number of mini minis ! Well done, lookign formawrd to see them based !

Woaw!

That's a really inspiring work! Thanks for sharing the WIP: it's easier to see how you manage to do such a wonderful work on your minis...
QUick! I get back to my Sanguinary Guard!

very, very impressive Elsmore! congratz on the progress!

Thanks all!

Plus de mises à jour de la cathédrale.

Maintenant, il a une tour de contrôle, point de défense, le contrôle de la porte. Pas encore fini!

You are an amazing modelist!

Though it is not the way I would have done it, I must admit this model is quite amazing.
The detail level is more than high, and the cohrency is great. Scratch building orks or Nurgle is easier, but doing it with the geometry and symetry demande by the Imperium is very difficult. Added green stuff and models look great, and I'm looking forward to seeing the painting steps.

Great job !

It's a very impressive moving building: I'm not a big fan of the SOB, but your job makes them very sexy.

Good luck for ending this project!

Thanks guys!

It is proving to be a fun build. I thought it was finished, but after looking at it with fresh eyes following months in storage I realised it needed some extra detailing. I'll keep adding to it while I paint the rest of the army. Next phase will be cabling - I have one of these clever tools on order:

As for painting - the thought fills me with dread. I have very little experience with large models - I might ruin my creation!

Don't worry Elsmore: ok you are not used to large models, but you have two major elements to succed:
-technics, as you are used to a lot of different way to use colors and the way to put them on a miniature
-talent, as all your previous productions are just amazing

So don't be afraid: it's just a large Land Raider!

Une petite mise à jour! L'infanterie a fini - maintenant de commencer sur les chars. Voici quelques photos rapides. Je vais prendre de bonnes photos lorsque tout est complet
