Here she is,
The inspiration for this piece came from the Dawn of War II trailer, in which a Farseer executes the last surviving member of a Blood Ravens squad by driving her spear into his chest. She then rises in a pillar of energy with two orbs of energy in her hands. The concept was simple, but the miniature took more than a month to assemble from the date I began assembling components.
First off JB Weld rocks! I used it all over the model and it's an OCD crafters best friend. The Blood Raven comes from a space marine 3X pack, I had to cut his arms off and reglue/mold them into the right pose. I painted him before I attached him so that he would have a more realistic look when placed in the dirt, as it was I ended up removing his backpack.
The Farseer was by far the most fun. Her Staff broke off at the end which was just as well because I needed to make it a Singing Spear anyway (JB). Her feet got messed up when I removed her base, so I filed them down and made new ones (JB). The stand is a sprue that I twisted to make it look like an ethereal pillar. The orbs are made from left over JB Weld that I rolled, glued, and finally painted.
Now that I've finally finished her I have to say I'm very pleased with how she turned out. And in her first game she single-handedly defeated a Necron Monolith with her Singing Spear... me thinks she was worth the points. Thanks to my friend Stefan, for the game and the photographs.
Enjoy all
