Greetings all! I'm Jhadzaan, and welcome to the start of my journey back into 40k! For a bit of context, I haven't played or touched a GW model in over 10 years. While I still have my old army books and novels, my entire model range was either tithed to friends or in some extreme cases cast into the Warp. However I have kept an eye on the hobby, admiring from afar. With the start of a new year I've decided to stretch those old creative muscles.......even if my wallet gets stretched in the process. This thread is here to help give me a bit more motivation as well as share and get feedback and ideas from all you wonderful folks! Now I will say that for now I'm more interested in the modeling and painting side. That means collecting/modelling what I want and less collecting with any intention of winning a game. Thus I'm starting with the Sisters of Battle. I've always wanted a force of the faithful and while I do like almost all the factions to some degree, Sisters are by far my favorite. So having ordered the combat patrol plus few extra boxes I have the following to assemble and paint to keep me busy for a bit: Celestine 1x Canoness w/ Jump Pack 1x Palatine 10x Battle Sisters 10x Dominions 5x Zephyrim 3x Arco-flagellants 3x Paragon Warsuits 1x Immolator Yes I know I left out the Flagellants from the combat patrol, but I don't find them as interesting. I won't get any transports or tanks till I have some units completed. Plus I used to find them boring to paint. Below are a few of the models I've started practicing with: - Battle Sisters - So far are standard. Might add some more purity seals and chains. - Novitiate - I'm not fully keen on the coif and veils so I'm going to try for bare heads. - Repentia - I like the new plastic models but liked the loin cloths and rags of the old metal models. I'm thinking some more purity seals and maybe some hoods. - Sacresants - I liked the spear and shield look for the Superior, but thought greatswords would look cool for the rest instead of halberds. Maces aren't really my thing either. Never going to a tournament so WYSIWYG doesn't matter. I should finish sculpting and assembling these by the end of this week. That'll leave the weekend to start painting. Looking forward to sharing more soon!
