jacqualine47 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 So I figured its about time I start one of these threads... I've been collecting Sisters ever since I fell in love with John Blanche's artwork (what can I say, I'm a pin-up girl at heart) when I saw it on the front cover of the 2nd ed codex. I'm currently completely overhauling the army, so I stripped everything and am redoing it. I've sourced prettier heads (the old heads were showing their age) and dremeled out the original heads on most of the models. I've got a ton of stuff (including that all of my rhinos/immolators/exorcists are made with the Forgeworld Diemos pattern kit with extra mods to fit with the GW sororitas plastic immolator kit, plus my Avenger Strike Fighters are based on OOP FW Lightnings... but all that is unfinished and not really in a condition to show off just yet). This time instead of making my own order (last time I tried doing the red armor with gold trim and parchment tabards - like on the cover of the 3rd ed codex... being the butt of many 'Khornate Sisters' jokes at my FLGS made me hesitant to make another mistake like that), I'm doing my favorite official order: The Order of Our Martyred Lady. I'm still working on the fluff of my mission, so that'll come later... for now, here are the models that are finished: my first three Battle Sister squads and my canoness (whom this time is magnetized for easy swappings): My canoness Her back BSS 1 BSS 2 BSS 3 The backs of my three completed superiors Anyway, this certainly isn't everything - just what is finished as part of my revamp. I own enough to fill every slot of a double force Org with some left over... just a matter of time (and decals! Those things are hard to come by!) Speaking of decals... I need a mega-drek-load of Order of Our Martyred Lady decals - particularly the larger one that is only three to a sheet... but they are nigh impossible to come by and I only have fifteen sheets (sounds like a lot, but for an apoc-sized army its just not enough). If anyone has an idea on where I can find more or has a vector image of the symbol that I can download, that'd be great. The vector image would be so that I could pay a company to custom-print the decals I need. Sadly, ink-jets can't print white LOL.

WarriorFish Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Good old repaints! There's nothing better to destroy and then rebuild to new heights your enjoyment of an army Nice to see the Our Martyred Lady getting to make an appearance, I think they're a bit thin on the ground - perhaps "Ultramarine Syndrome"? It's a nice striking scheme, especially on those bases which I rather like. I don't usually go for the more elaborate basing but this seems restrained while still being fancy and gives a nice look as well as tying the army together well. Have you done anything with the gold? I find a quick wash helps tone it down a little and make the details pop, I think the new name for it is Seraphim Sepia which is appropriate! I'm looking forward to seeing more, keep us updated!

jacqualine47 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks for the well wishes all :) I have been using Seraphim Sepia on the gold - sadly my i-phone camera doesn't do the models justice. Also, I just wanted to mention that my wonderful spouse is helping me a great deal with the painting. I'm very lucky that way :) Right now we're making a push to finish my three exorcists - I'm hoping to get them finished soon so that I can take pictures.

Aqui Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Very nice! It does remind me that I have a Canoness to paint and possibly repaint my Celestine model (the only two I have thus far ) I do like the red and gold though. "Khornate" Sisters didn't occur to me until you mentioned it!

Dread Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The only decals I have are the old witch hunter sheets, I have 5 I have found so far. Not really sure which sheet you're looking for, post a pic?
