Good day!

Here is my first pass for the Living Saint.  In 40K Lore, Sisters of Battle are the militant arm of the Ecclesiarchy (Imperium's official religious institution).  They are fanatically devoted to the Imperial Cult, the belief that the Emperor is Humanity's one and only true God.  Anything they consider heresy has a tendency to become ash.  

In very rare cases, a Sister of Battle may be imbued with a portion of the Emperor's might.  This occurs if the Sister of Battle has uncommon devotion and if the situation is bad enough to warrant divine intervention.  Like the Astronomican and the Legion of the Damned, the Living Saint is greatest proof that the Emperor still guides humanity during the Imperium's direst times.  

I've researched a lot of the Living Saint concepts, and decided to stick closest to her original depiction (Angel Wings are cool).  I still want to improve her armour design and probably change the Iron Halo completely.  I'll also begin working on giving her a cool pose (she won't just be flying around).  

As always, feel free to let me know what you think of the design so far!  Until the next WIP!

Your right, the wings are cool. Any chance they will be seperate when the time comes?

Oh wow, this looks better already than I thought it might. Looking forward to the poses! What weapon(s) were you planning to go with?

Nice! It would be a nice addition for my shelf, alongside Geralt of Rivia and your Black Templar from last month.

In every concept I've come across, she's using a longsword. So probably that.

Oooo, I can't wait to spend 4 hours supporting those wings, lol. Seriously though, it looks great.

Can't wait to polish out pegs from supports I'm gonna put on those wings, he-he. Bought myself a new Foredom motor to do this with comfort.

I'll probably be the black sheep by saying another celestine to the collection but great design that make it stand out front the rest. Still wish it was a male.

is it just me or does her forehead look really big? only complaint though everything else looks PHENOMENAL i just started collecting sisters and i think i'll be making this the center of my collection rather than the official model.

3DArtGuy

👍 The forehead might need a lower hairline. I'll play around with it.

Changing the Iron Halo would be a good thing I believe. Different is always good. Possible 2 handed weapon pose with sword or pole arm? So far as her looks, something seems off. Her head to big? Chest/stomach area to short? Love the wings and pose or them btw!

Honestly... having her fly around would be totally cool... ...because it's really hard to do via "cheating" and <b><u>not looking like</u></b> you are using supports.... while totally using supports. https://www.games-workshop.com/it-IT/Eidolon-Aspect-of-the-sea-2018 <img src="https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/threeSixty/99120219005_EidolonAspectSea360/01.jpg" width="350">

what i suggest is <u>not</u> to go the usual route of using her vows to have her "fly" <img src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0b/d7/3e/0bd73e2ccb502a7dd23dee9f05bdbf2a.jpg" width="350"> but rather do something similar to the above aspect of sea eidolon and use flames coming from below... <u><b>reinforced</b></u> by her vows (on fire) and one or more chains. Thus it should work. <img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/202455f2d4c4a47a24437e5344796f5f/4f81b742f368b226-6e/s1280x1920/53b63a8de9669680e6eb8be6ac3435c377c2d583.png" width="350">

That picture is epic!!!

Also that WIP is Epic!!!

Awesome! so happy with all the minis

The poses are cool, but they all look like they're posing for the camera. I want my design to look like she's killing stuff like the Emperor's Champion. 😊

Simone Spinozzi

Honestly if she is raising her sword over a burning field, that looks very much like carnage is being done and she's either preparing an attack or something else... Having her look epic is totally your right, but if you can have her look epic while suspended over a flaming battlefield via various tricks using flames, chains, oaths and whatever... that would be really nice. <img src="https://www.frontlinegaming.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sanguinor.jpg" width="350">

Just joined you. So pumped.

3DArtGuy

Actually, this pose is very close to what I had in mind for one her poses. Good stuff! 👍

So, can I download this now?

Yyyeah by the lore Celestine is just your average lady that looks good in armour (looooots of pages about that armour), inspires people by looking good and being righteous... ...and dies just about the first time she goes into a fight... then she is reborn... ...nobody knows she is reborn... goes into a fight, they find out she has visions of her past and her wounds heal quicker, even very lethal ones... ...re-finds her armour and looks good again, etc. etc. etc. It's all a cycle of "Looks really good, #DatArmour is found again, adds stuff to her oaths, inspires people, goes to fight and dies" over and over again. uhm... yyyyyyeah. WH40K is still all about manly men doing manly things, if men are expected to survive while losing friends... the moment they put a woman in there they don't know what else to do but let her die. 🤦‍♂️

Simone Spinozzi

YES! MURDER! MAYEM! But... like... they are all xenos so obviously it's the right thing to do.

I was wondering of an other kind of pose. The double handed sword in a close landing fashion isn't bad, but I find it maybe too classic. How about having her doing an upward slash (not sure about the words here) with her sword and using the blood of the enemy she cut in half as a support. I have absolutly no idea on the difficulty. =P An other Idea I had, was for her to have a shield she's throwing and linked to her with chains. Love your work &lt;3

hope you don't mind a little request: instead oi a similar face on both the greave and paldron, how about a representation of an aged emperor on the paldron

3DArtGuy

That's an interesting idea. I'll see if I have time to implement varieties for the pauldron. I'm more concerned in getting the essentials done right now.
