The Festival of Christophorus - Steersman's Honor

Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.

"The sixth day of the Festival of Christophorus is ‘Steersman’s Honor’.  On this day, Navis Nobilite display their chapterhouse’s relic in the primary forum. Their conveyance bears an image of Holy Terra, wrought from Terran metal. This symbolically shows their role in spreading humanity from humanity’s home planet.  For the populace, this display is a fraught one.  Navigators are feared by most humans- and particularly the Ophatrans, who believe warp spirits cling to void travellers.  However, the chance to see the sculpture of Terra compels them to observe, and many pilgrims faint from the joy of being near a physical piece of Holy Terra.”  

 

 

Inquisition Acolytes - Metal Daemonhunter and Witchhunter Ranges 2003 - Navigators

I finally manged to paint the metal Inquisition gun servitors. This completes the last of the metal acolytes from the early-to-mid 2000s Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters ranges. This is one of my all time favorite GW lines, certainly my favorite range from the 'Middlehammer' era.

 

 

 

I also recently painted a miniature designed by Heresy Labs. It is a 3d print that I picked up on eBay or Etsy, probably before I bought my resin printer. I painted him in the purples I use for Navigators. He's next to road shrine by Tesseract Tomb, which I printed on my Ender3. I added a few things to it- the statue bust on top was found on Scan the World and printed on my Mars2pro.

Lastly, a navigator from Kromlech that I think I forgot to post.
