my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:
the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.
URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.
Guardian journos are apparently asking trans people about DIY. Trans followers: DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. NOT A WORD.
I also know I’ve got cis mutuals who have written for the Guardian. Please know I’ve always thought less of you because of that.
Rashers' Golem (Dungeons & Lasers World of Deuslair)
The glowing eyes and symbols were easier than I thought (I'm sure it's more complicated once you have things cast shadows on other things)
For a change, I used matte varnish over this (except the glossy water). It makes for better pictures but I'm so used to finished models having a bit of shine that the matte gives an unfinished look to me IRL.
Yeah that model is beautiful. Whenever I see amazing paint jobs like this I'm super tempted to start a Sisters of Battle army. Like maybe 500pts.
But I'm an OC faction player, and idk how I'd fit them into my narrative
The centerpiece of the Choir of St Barbara's, christened "Gallatea."
I reckon the name's accurate: if you haven't fallen in love with this beast by halfway in, you're wasting your life. And oh, she is beautiful. The Exorcist was the highlight of the old range and this new one is a work of art.
There's so much going on here: the pipe organ, the rockets, so many icons, the keyboard, and even fresh-cut flowers on the altar. That tread with the rose and crossed swords? Only one on the whole vehicle.
I know the Brits get real touchy about Warhammer being THEIRS AND THEIRS ALONE, but the Battle Hymn of the Republic makes such a great anthem. It's an abolitionist creation, but you'll be hard pressed to find a holy war hymn that sounds better on the pipe organ. If we're driving a mobile pipe organ into battle(typically they are a part of the architecture), we're not taking half measures.
The box art is ridiculous. Why bury all those details in flat black?
I left off the cherubs and Holy Vuvuzela. I needed parts for my original Exorcist rebuild and brother, they were made to snap off in transit.
Look at this cockpit:
That keyboard! The hands in position to hit a chord! Who knows what those hatches in the deck are for?
I just want to point out another detail here: those roses below the icons. When 'Eavy Metal was putting this together for the box art, they painted over them to make them part of the bas relief. They are cowards and have undersold some details that serve the High Church/brutal war machine dichotomy that defines the Sisters.
Box art on the left, model in progress on the right.
I am dying on this hill and you can bury me with my loupes.
My first time working with Oil paints to make marines!
These guys were done over the course of many many months. Simply due to needing the oil paints to dry.
Honestly it was an interesting medium to paint with. I'll definitely try to cut my turpentine with some water next time so it isn't stripping my base layer haha.
This was a very nice project in the end tho and I'm happy I did those decals in the end.
