Intermezzo: Hinodian Bounty Huntress

I am working slowly but focused (!) on my Melancholia III-project but have recently finished building a Hinodian Bounty Huntress and she is now ready for paint.



 +++

She hails from the hive world of Meiji Prime placed in the Hinode System on the fringes of the Dalthus Sector...

The Hinode System is named after the red giant Hinode, which is a star in its later phases of stellar evolution: Its outer atmosphere being inflated and tenuous, making its radius immense and its surface temperature low. Hinode is placed in an area of space where sun worshipping seemingly is on the rise. This is particularly the case in the neighbouring Profundis System, which falls under the protection of the reclusive Sun Titans who also appear - albeit sporadically - in the sacred Liber Chronicarum of Hinode where they are referred to as sun gods of legend. 

 Hinode

Hinodians on Meiji Prime celebrate the deeply orange and slowly fading light of Hinode as a pure embodiment of the God Emperor and the distant Sol System. Especially the horizon spanning sunset during the almost all-encompassing autumnal season of the sunblazed planet.

The Hinodian Bounty Huntress is based on the incredible Nurgle Chaos Lord. Inspired heavily by John Blanches excellent Femme Militant!

She is blind from sun gazing. Apart from an integrated firethrower and solblade she wields a Hinodian shield. Her voluptuousness and bare scalp is a homage to Hinode. She is covered in sacred symbols and relics also in homage to the red giant..

...oh, and she wears high heel and has a wooden leg in homage to Mary Bones :)





I am a bit rusty in my modelling, so I look forward to the paint job.

    1. Thank you Dave! Much appreciated.

      Developing a narrative for ones work is a big part of doing it in the first place :)

  2. Wow that's a great build :) I've actually thought about adding some big (wo)man muscle to my Sisters of Silence and this is definitely something I'll note as future reference :)

  3. Stunning work brother. She captures Grim Darkness in such uncompromising impact. Instant classic. Sort of old skool and very fresh the way only you know. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Stefan. By Jove that is just amazingly good. I love it when totally new interpretations of the Nurglii Lord surface. I think this is the first to receive a sex change. The Mary Bones vibe is cool but the implant flamer steals it for me.

    Cannot wait to see her painted and hopefully knock her off a towering column in the summer :-)

    BTW I've put a link to this in the Ammo Bunker's Nurgii Lord thread

    1. Thanks for that Peter! I am painting her at the moment, so expect to see pictures this year :)

      BTW you probably need some serious muscle to move her around...

  5. Stunning Work.. so artistic and ethereal. your models evoke the same poetic emotion as Lars von trier Werner Hertzog and Andrei Tarkovsky does with their Films.. a delicate well balanced but slightly unhinged view of the cosmos. This is my favourite model of 2015 ..

    Love the artwork of Hinode..
