From PeterB - The Saint and some ruins - 23 Points

 

Earlier this month I painted up some Warhammer 40k characters from the series of Gaunts Ghosts books and the title of my post was "From the Sabbat Worlds". This area of space are named after Sabbat Beati and thus Gaunt and his men take part in the Sabbat Crusade.

The Saint appeared to Mad Larkin when he was separated from his colleagues when a statue in a ruined church came to life and spoke to him. She then re-incarnated during the Crusade and joined the Ghosts, briefly recruiting them as an Honour Guard.

In 40K lore Sabbat is always shown in images as if painted not naturally but like a mythological being. My own personal interpretation when I read the books was that she appeared like a young, unimposing character like Joan of Arc. She is lost in a crowd of pilgrims and unassuming, only making an impact when she takes action. Luckily I had just the model.

 

As you probably are wondering...

Yes, my photos are normally lovingly edited...

and framed better but technology hated me today...

and as my day job is working in IT I had had enough by now

 (Honestly, Blogger wouldn't play today, my phone wouldn't connect to my raspberry Pi and then my Pi wouldn't unzip the folder of images downloaded from my Dropbox. I am the first to roll my eyes and say the problem is with the user not the computer, but sheesh, something was conspiring against me today.)

The other part of my entry today is actually the background of my previous images. Last September at our local wargame show, Colours. I was under strict instructions from my son to find him a gift of some pieces of terrain for our gaming table. I found someone selling back issues of the 40K bit part magazine that had this piece of terrain included and he loved it. We undercoated and constructed it together and then he declared that I had to paint it for him. (I should just start buying him pre-painted and save myself the bother.) 

The building is technically cuboid in the dimensions of 5 x 5 x 7 inches, so 18 points? We are limited for storage space in our home, especially for bulky bits of terrain so I haven't stuck it to a base board and then also we can use the two parts separately on our table if required. 

Blatant skull close up

In photos it looks just like a grey brick

There is some detail painted on though, honest

I'm tagging Sabbat for Sarah's choice, but as I have already visited all the Studio's apart from the Directors I won't claim for the Limo bonus points.

So, 1 x 28mm = 5 pts

1 building at 18 pts.

Total = 23 points.
