So continuing with the @Grotsmasha's Kill Team Campaign Challenge for April is a heavy. as the Celestian Insidiants do not have a "heavy" I am going with the Mortisanctus
Not much done, but I should have time this weekend to get stuff done....maybe
Fist up the other day I built my Seraphim
But forgot to drill the bolt pistol on one the seraphim...
Last night, I drilled the 2 bolt pistols I missed the other day and glued the bases to the toppers and added the broken columns. I added some basing (fine gravel and tile grout) to gap fill, and add that broken column feeling.
In NON 12

Well we are down to the final 5 days remaining for this month's challenge. And I wonder if I am going to make it. So with that in mind I took time to work on my Retributors this weekend.
I had issues with my vallejo paints clogging my airbrush so I switched to Army Painter Warpaints Air Triad of Regiment Grey (followed by string tone wash), Uniform Grey, and Cadre Grey.
Then once again back to Warpaints Air, this time Encarmine Red for the Multi-Meltas

Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (1800–1891)
Well with all the rumors of the Iron Warriors coming I am really glad I switched from the Heavy Bolters to the Multi-Meltas for my Retributors. Some other changes had to be made:
Crucible of Champions Build a Canoness Jump Canoness is now Warlord
Jump Canoness is more of Personal Character and Order of Part
"Without Him, a billion billion souls are nought but fodder for the ever-thirsting evils of the Warp."
—Ecclesiarch Theodacus V, Indroit to the Verses of Dusk
Well the Crucible of Champions leaks has spun me in to a little frenzy of building.
Here are the models built and what I planned so far.
Militant Commander:
Specialism: Jump Pack
Ability: Fury of the Righteous
Weapons: Blessed Blade and Plasma Pistol
Militant Commander:
Saint Katherine
The Shield Bearer
Founder Order of the Fiery Heart
So I have been a long time Sisters of Battle, Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Ministorum, Ecclesiarchy, and Ordo Hereticus fan. I played various iterations of the Army over the year and one of the community favorites was the Flying Nun/ Whack A Mole Canoness. Based off of Saint Celestine

Palatine
A Palatine is a high-ranking officer of the various orders of the Adepta Sororitas who is often responsible for commanding a Sororitas Mission among the Orders Militant, or acting as a trusted second when an order's canonness takes to the field.
Palatines wield considerable political influence within the Imperium of Man and often work side-by-side wit
"for we shall deliver it to them."
-Canoness Josmane, Order of the Sacred Rose-
Well my local Crusade/ Campaign is coming up and a few of us are getting the Malestrom: Lair of the Tyrant narrative campaign, for the Crucible of Champions book. So we are excited about the return of our own characters. We are delaying the start so we can decipher the books and decide on a Narrative Campaign, Crusade, or a hybrid of both.
Currently we are leaning towards, Growth Narrative Camp

As I divided my forces between the Order of the Valorous Heart and Order of the Parthenon, I am adding a 3rd faction.

11 years ago, @Brother Tyler created the Liber Challenge, where we created our own Minor Order Militants. My Contribution was the Order of the Partheon. As my my local gaming group prepares for our Crusade, I believe it is time to revisit my Order.
Here are the Changes (so far)

12 Months of Hobby Vow for February entered. I decided to go with Retributors as they are one of my favorite units. along from this line:
"Due to the methods of combat they employ, the preceptories of the Valorous Heart typically boast greater numbers of Exorcists and Retributor Squads than those of other orders. They use their heavy weaponry to establish solid bases of long-range fire, raining deat

The more I think about a new Adepta Sororitas Order I want to play the more I am pulled back to the Order of the Valorous Heart. As much as a painting Black Armor Metallic and Black Robes is a pain in the I do really like the effect that it has on the army.

I have been struggling of late with my own personal mental health issues. Nothing major, but enough to bring me down to a lot. I have not picked up a brush or model to work on in months, and I used the Holidays as an excuse, even if that is partial true. I have tried to get back into the hobby with @Grotsmasha's 12 Months of Hobby and I
Well 2026 is upon us and I have not touched really worked on an Adepta Sororitas or Ecclesiarchy Model in Months. I have just not had the motivation to paint or build them.
I really have been struggling to build or paint Adepta Sororitas over the past few years in consistent fashion, unlock my Grey Knights or HH Raven Guard. With the release of rules for the Celestian Insidiants via WarComm updated Adepta Sororitas Faction Pack, I have some motivation.

Well it took a little bit but I finally got the Sanctifiers built.
I am not sure when they will be primed or painted but they are built. Need to focus on getting Grey Knights ready for 1500 point games, which is just painting a Nemesis Dreadknight and new weapons for dreadnought. But I will keep working on Adepta Sororitas in between.

Well I have been slowly working on my Sanctifiers and I am down to building 2 more Preachers
Trying to have all of them with hooded heads. Colors will be Cream and Red sorta like my painted Inquisition forces

Well Ordo Hereticus Battleforce and Killteam: Blood and Zeal both arrived 2 days ago, but I did not get to mess with them until last night. And I did not take any photos of what I built.
Confessor, Cherub, Death Cult Assassin, Miraculist, and Salvantionist are built. I hate that the sprues are near the little spikes on the icons. I need to build missionaries and preachers.

I decided to take some photos on the bases.
the bases are a mix of tile grout, and different size of ballast ( Woodland Scenics fine and medium), Ceramic bricks (Pegasus Hobbies small red bricks). Citadel Skulls, PlastiStrut I beans, and tubes, and guitar string.

Did I need another Ministorum Priest…probably not.
Did I need another Inquisitor Greyfax…well technically I have not built a stock Greyfax, s
