when i got my hands on the iron priestess from rackham, i was really impressed by the amount of detail on this mini. The posture seems to be a bit static, but with the banners and this staff the mini looks really impressive. Such an impressive mini needs a bigger base i thought, so i decided to give her a place on a little vignette.

I planned to do a shattered portal to a mysterious garden. In this garden ishould be the shrine of the holy rose, a symbol for freedom for my griffons.
So the portal was done with some wild roses growing on it (except the windowthingie the ruin was scatchbuild). I´ll add two more minis to this vignette later (when i recieved them by mail) to represent that the priestess needs followers to do wonders.

Hope you´ll like it

This is great! You're right that the pose of the priestess is quite static but the diorama somehow makes the pose look very appropriate.

maaaaan! why do I even bother painting at all? Great, great, great piece - best iron priestess I have seen - and very atmospheric vignette. Great job! ... now I'll go dump my brushes in the garbage can and donate my paints to the local kindergarten

oh my god, goatman. what have you done?! that is one of the most atmospheric pieces i have ever seen. the smooth transitions on the highlightings are a pure burner and all those looks and styles along with the great conversion form a wonderful piece. wow...

great work... the only thing that bother me is that the iron priestess has a iron mask that you painted flesh like.... is that a choice?

Sheesh, what can I say? This speaks for itself. Th NMM, the Freehadn on the banner, the details of the background. All wonderful. Great job! Keep this up and soon you'll give Haley a run fer her money (literally)!
