Ephrael Stern, Sister of Battle (75mm)

There's a bit of a story behind this model.

I originally bought her when I was at Sandhurst (British Army's officer training academy) but, being a bit of a busy bee at that time, I put her aside and she languished in my "to be painted" pile for some years, during which I travelled the world, got married and had children (more or less in that order).

I finally dug her out a couple of years ago and undercoated her and got cracking but then discovered that I just didn't have the skill and patience to do her the justice I felt she deserved. The thing was, you see, that she came in one piece, and reaching all of the different bits was a complete pain.

The truth is that I still don't have the skill to really do this model justice, but I need the cash that I could get from finishing and selling her, so I've finally had a go at finishing her. She's about 99% done, with just a few bits and bobs to do that you can't see in this image. If there's interest, I'll add some more photos of the details when she's all done.



Anyway, pending anything better coming along, I'll probably enter her in the Large Model category for our regional painting competition that GW's running in the UK this Summer.

Crap on a rod. That is stunning! I actually really love the rich red on the cloak, i think that makes the model! I maybe wouldnt have gone for that green on the back of the cloak, but thats just taste, its really well done and this model stands a ruddy good chance in any comp you enter.

(PS check out our monthly comps!) plug, plug

I'm afraid I've never really understood the 40kterra monthly competitions. I found the schedule, but can't find the rules, the sign-up or the results of each month. I don't understand whether May's event counts as a "painting" competition or a "conversion" competition. It isn't clear whether these can be combined with the TOXG.

Frankly, the whole section needs a major clear-up. I don't even, really, understand where I'm supposed to post the progress in my TOXG Necron army.

We maybe should make a new intro page. All you have to do is take a pic of your unassembled/unpainted parts in front of the big yellow entry text or something that dates the parts (newspaper or such like) and post a a final pic. You can WIP it along the way if you wants as well.

We then have a self marking process so the decision isnt based on a panel of judges

The Xgamers is new and there shouldnt be any issues with combining entries, but I will clarify that.
