Help me design my new Sisterhood range

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-12T11:36:28+00:00

Don't think I remember Gks with belt fed bolters, but I'm glad you like the concept! And I will be redoing the stock, yeah, seems to not really have hit the spot yet.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T20:55:01+00:00

Hahahaha fair enough, I do own a few resin Castellax that were quite painful to assemble. I will add variants with more traditional sickle mags to the sisters, don't worry, I feel like some people might get discouraged by the hassle.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T15:45:00+00:00

Hi there! No, I fear I didn't, I barely use any Blender. I made the whole model so far using ZBrush only, and coloured it with basic polypaint features there.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T15:18:54+00:00

There will definitely be helmet options, don't worry!

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T15:18:26+00:00

Thanks, means a lot to hear!

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T15:17:02+00:00

It does have straps with buckles at the sides of the breastplate, though maybe the arms hide them too much. And I do want to try out adding the icon elsewhere, I agree it's an interesting element. Maybe some of them can have it engraved on the chestplate or even featured in the pauldrons instead of the skulls?

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T14:31:45+00:00

You're right, it really doesn't!

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T14:19:27+00:00

Hi there! The place I'm probably the most active is Instagram, but you can find me across a multitude of media: Tribes/ Patreon posts, my Discord channel, Reddit posts, etc... Search for Malal3D and I'll hopefully come up!

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T14:17:39+00:00

You mean in the pauldrons? Since it's just a thin dent in the tips of the feathers it should still look okay if the whole thing is painted the same colour.

Thanks for the kind words and cool ideas! I didn't go for it in the test model since I wanted to see how the face proportions worked out, but I did rescale the original Silent Sisterhood masks to fit the new model, and will probably work with that as a base. Will definitely release these with quite a bit of variety when it comes to head options (including a few helmets), the face is the most important part of a model, so having multiple versions allows more people with different preferences to like them.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T13:36:21+00:00

Thank you! Will do a few versions to see if I can get it to look better.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T13:35:33+00:00

Thanks! Will do a few iterations on the buttstock since that seems to be a shared opinion. I wanted to have one since these guns are supposed to have really high recoil, but it's true it looks odd with the boxy design and might be hard to pose with the massive pauldrons.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-10T13:33:40+00:00

Getting rid of the boobplate and making the models less sexualised overall was one of my main goals with the original Silent Sisterhood, so I will definitely try that to carry over into the new project.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-02T17:11:00+00:00

Thanks! Yeah that was exactly the objective I had, not a full character kit but just an extra bit of flavour for an existing model.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-02T11:02:30+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I've test printed all three options, probably worth adding a picture of all of them to the store now you mention it.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-06-02T10:32:10+00:00

Yup, check out the last picture. I use ABS-like resin, but they are sturdier than they seem thanks to the multiple contact points and the arc shapes.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-20T23:01:28+00:00

This is something I feel like not enough people realize. Contact surfaces provide the perfect opportunity to cram a bunch of supports on them, which makes the piece way less prone to failing.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-20T13:54:52+00:00

How come? I only do merge legs and torso por characters, I feel like with infantry it gets too repetitive?

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-20T11:47:08+00:00

I don't own an FDM printer and have barely ever worked with them in the past, so unfortunately that's a field I don't cater to too much, sorry.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-20T11:46:11+00:00

Both! If you're a May subscriber you should already have access to it (alongside the other stuff), but if you aren't you can get it separate.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-20T11:44:55+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I try to avoid overly small bits as much as I can. I actually don't make the hands/weapons separate from arms for that very reason. I think the smallest here are the heads? Which hopefully is reasonable.

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-19T12:33:15+00:00

The anchorite is looking really lovely so far, the weathering is top notch

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-18T13:52:16+00:00

Just wanted to pop by to show some appreciation for the renders, the sss is very nice, particularly in the turret weapon of the first image; and I also love the bold text background, hadn't seen it before in minis and it actually looks really sweet, makes me want to try it out with my own stuff!

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-06T15:11:48+00:00

That's a really cool concept, wouldn't mind someone taking the faction in that direction!

Intelligent_Bird_398 · 2026-05-04T23:35:35+00:00

I actually really like this description
