Hello, hope you are well. I thought I’d submit my take on the Triumph of St. Katherine.
When I saw the original model I was pretty in awe of it, but at the same time I couldn't help but see it as an opportunity to essentially create my own diorama that was playable.
I love all those classic Warhammer 40k art pieces by the likes of John Blanche, David Gallagher and more recently Paul Dainton and Jaime Martinez. I really want to capture the turmoil of battle that those images evoke, but in model form.
And this is what I came up with. I really wanted it to be as close to the original model in terms of size, so I could play it without worrying about any complaints and this is what lead me to the mounted Imagifier. It help get close to the height, which I then cheated a bit further with the base. It's pretty close (about 130mm rather than 140mm)
I wanted the rest of the models to represent the variation you find in the Adeptus Ministorum, something you see a lot in the art (particularly like the second edition Codex cover). I also thought nothing says over the top 'grim dark' like a blind serf dragging a giant stone brazier into battle.
A not entirely detailed list of bits I've used. Obviously a fair few Adepta Sororitas models, a Chaos Knight horse with a Bretonnian horse head, Pious Vorne, Stormcast Eternals, a Cawdor ganger, Flagellants, Traitor Guardsmen, lots of small bits from the old Bretonnian Men-at-arms kit.
Hope you like it, this is probably the biggest conversation/kitbash I've done and I'm pretty pleased with it. Follow me on Instagram if that's your thing: @necronic
Thanks!
