Rebasing Seraphim

[shanewatts]

Hello all,

 

So I am trying to rebase my Seraphim and was hoping you all had some ideas. I am trying to put my army on matching Sector Imperialis bases and I have no idea how to make it work with my Seraphim, their pointy feet and pegs. Any ideas would be welcome.

I'll try to get a photo when i get home, But for mine I generally just pile up some "ruins" (Or in your case ruined junk) and pin one of the girls feet to that. 
You'll probably need to weight the base a little bit underneath as well.

I've clipped mine and going to pin them on the small sized 'flight' stands from gw (those clear acrilic things like they use on the drones)

 

You can get them fairly cheap on the ebays and such. The stubby ones are good for putting the sisters at about the same height as their default ones.

Depending on your sculpting ability you could attach them to the base with wire and make streamers in green stuff to cover the wire.

Trying to imitate how Saint Celestine and the twins are attached to their base.

I am not a sculptor haha, hrm maybe the flying base idea. I'd be worried about balance though.

What I did was glue washers to the bottom of my Seraphim's bases.  A one inch washer is the same size as the bottom of a standard 25 mm base, and it adds some much needed weight to keep the model from falling over so easily.  They're fairly cheap too, around four cents a piece.

I did that as well.  It is really effective with the metal models.

I rebased all my Seraphim on flying bases years ago, and use metal washers to weight the bottoms. Short of an angle of about twenty odd degrees they stand up just fine.

Somthing you can do is take old pieces of sprue, shave it down a bit so it doesn't stick out too much, paint it black, and cut one side flat and glue it to the base. Cut the other side at an angle that mactches the foot and then match up a second one to the other foot.

 

Simple, easy, very stable, highly possible to hide.

Any of you have pics of your work?

Here's how i based my Seraphim. First off i clip the model off the tabs it comes with, cause those suck and are broken off on half the models i find on eBay. Using original slotta bases filled in with some greenstuff, or regular bases, i create a metal flight stand using steel 14 gauge steel wire by drilling a hole in the middle of the base, bending it over and super gluing it on the bottom side. Leave like 2-3 inches sticking out up top. I then base it with some gradients of pebbles / sand creating a mound surrounding the wire (still 2 inches sticking out). I prime the whole thing black. I then drill a comparable sized hole in the bottom of my Seraphim's robes on those models with spread legs, and into the feet with those models with legs joined together. Place the Seraphim on the wire, trim and bend the wire as necessary to get a good pose. Super glue the wire into the hole you just drilled. You can hardly see the black primed wire underneath the model and it looks great, as you can do much more dynamic poses by positioning the model offset to the actual base. I can send some pics when i get home if you are interested, i have one in progress on my desk now.
