Yes and weapons. Or at least weapon poses.

I really need a better photo of all this!

Bases finished and 'feature complete' - there's a handful of small things like silver touches and one or two drybrushes I'd like to finish, but they're done. 3000pts of Death Guard.

Thanks again to @thearmypainter.bsky.social for their support!

Oh, yeah. That'll do the job.

Behold! My kitbashed Desecrated Saint, photographed on the BRAND NEW TRENCH CRUSADE BACKDROPS BY @handiworkgames.bsky.social

I built her from a @nic-the-mammoth.bsky.social base and a load of Bad Squiddo bits.

The final form! I've been posting the progress of my Desecrated Saint over the weekend, here she is finished, and in one of the Official Trench Crusade backdrops by Handiwork Games, which makes her look so lovely! I think having some context to the minis when photographing makes them pop really well.

I don't get much hobby time lately but I'm really happy with this, and a bunch other minis I made over the weekend too (show you them soon!) and I liked the problem solving of how do I represent the Desecrated Saint with what's in my bits box.

She's made from mostly Bad Squiddo parts of kits and the main body is the big ghoul lady from Mammoth Minis. Was a shame to cut her head off so I'll have to get another!

I was struggling with a tissue cape too and then decided to try some fabric and just pva instead of pva and water and I'm really happy with that too.

This is all @badsquiddogames.bsky.social fault. I’m looking forward to reading this. I am woefully out of the loop when it comes to history books these days.

I was surprised Cathay was going to be free so I’m going to do that I think. That or High Elves.

Women of WW2: Resistance is the most rewarding project I've ever worked on and I've cried so much in possibly every way! And I can't put into words how happy I am that you have really loved this, telling the stories and hearing new ones is incredible. I have a strong feeling there will be a sequel!

"Women of many walks of life laid their lives on the line for freedom – whatever happened to them and to the thousands of their sisters whose names history no longer recalls?"
- Věra Láska

28mm diorama of Věra leaning down into a waterfall to coax someone or something out.

Věra joined the resistance aged 15, and got to work smuggling people over the borders such as Poland to Slovakia, to Hungary and onto Yugoslavia. An exceedingly dangerous job which took her story to Auschwitz, where she used her theory that not many people die on their birthday, to take up an unknown task.

That task ended up being moved to a more central camp assembling V-2 bombs, which she of course sabotaged.
Vera passed away peacefully aged 82 on Decemer 11th, which was not her birthday.

I had a similar thought. Just cutting out the HH. Love the plastic kits for the setting.

I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity.

It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

I was just thinking of this this morning. The models for warhammer quest were so cool when I was a kid.

Let me doublecheck some things first. I’ve always been curious about this event.
