Alessia's Wip Sororitas + extra bitz

The Sisters are well done.

[Sister Alessia]

Aww thanks Bjorn! :) They look better in person. I don't have very good lighting or a good camera at the moment.

The bane of every hobbyist. A spectacular paintjob may look like a pile of snot if the camera won't cooperate, and models that are mostly dark/black are some of the most difficult ones to catch on photo. Your lightsources is also a yellowish light above the models with some black object in the background, not the most ideal circumstances for photographing black sisters. A lightbox might be an interesting solution.

 

Regardless, your sisters look pretty nice on photo, so when you say they look even better in person, then you did a great job!

[Sister Alessia]

Ta very much Greyraven! The black object would be my crappy lamp

Here is a Empire soldier I painted ages ago, using a light box. I think it really helps, especially if you don't have a room with good lighting.

Now that you mention it, some of your models were shot in a lightbox while others are not. Apologies, I didn't realize you knew already.

Advice, tips and constructive feedback is always welcome GreyRaven :D

Hi gang! I've been working hard on my Sisters, and should have lots of updates this weekend. I've nearly finished a Retributor squad, as well as 4 more sisters, which will finish all the infantry needed for my 500 point list, yay! Then I just have 2 vehicles to paint, for my 500 point list to be fully painted. For now though, here is my first built vehicle. I've made it so it can easily switch between Rhino and Immolator, because I'm far to indecisive  I'm very proud of it, as I find this the tricksiest part of the hobby and even the tracks line up.

Very nice piece of armor! Looking forward to seeing that painted up!

[Sister Alessia]

Thank you Hushrong! Here is my finished Retributor Squad. Lead by Sister Superior Laverne Balfour. More Sisters coming soon!

Fantastic looking squad! Looking forward to seeing the rhino/immolator painted up!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Retributors look great. Again, excellent work.

[hushrong]

The finished sisters are looking great. How is your team working out for you in Shadow War?

[Sister Alessia]

Thank you so much Vairo, Bjorn and Hushrong X

The Retributors are really striking on the tabletop, I'm actually happy enough to call them finished and varnish them.

 

I've only played 2 games of Shadow War so far, but my team is doing really well. The only thing that was lacking, was my leader's inferno pistol having such short range, so I gave her a combi-flamer instead :) I've got a games against Guard and Tau this week, and Nurgle next week, eek!

[Sister Alessia]

Finished these 4 Sisters yesterday, but it was to dark for pictures by the time I had finished lol. So this is the last 4 Sisters needed for my 500 point list. Now onto the vehicles :)

Very nice paint jobs. Excellent looking army so far.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

I second that, Celestial Guardian.

[hushrong]

Still looking good! Definitely looking forward to seeing vehicles with some paint on them.

[Sister Alessia]

Hiya everyone! After a much too long hiatus from moving, I'm back! And I bring with my finished 500 point army, yay!  Still haven't quite got the hang of my new camera for troops, but I'm slowly getting there :) I've had so much fun painting and gaming, I've decided to carry on painting up to 750 and possibly 1000 points!   So next to do, to take my army up to 750 points, Is adding a Repressor and Seraphim unit. I'm converting the Repressor from my old school Immo and I already have the Seraphim models. I'd really like to get to 1000 points so I can add an Exorcist, but it will depend on funds.

 

"Additionally" I recently picked up a copy of Space Crusade from a charity shop. Epic nostalgia feels!  Not that I'm old enough to have played it when it originally came out, but it was my first introduction to Games Workshop and 40K. Would people be interested in seeing me paint it up? Obviously I will still be playing Sisters.   Thank you internet rule wizards! X

Sweet! Seeing this army grow is making me envious! Lots of well painted Sisters has that effect in me.

 

If you did an exorcist would you use the kit from GW or kit bash your own?

[Sister Alessia]

Thanks Hushrong :D Oh I would definitely be using the GW one, its one of my favourite models. I would buy a proper Forge World Repressor too, If I could find one! 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The tank looks great!

[Sister Alessia]

Thanks Bjorn! I didn't notice until I posted the pics, the couple of mistakes I made. So I'm going to clean up the front plate, where the black and red meet. Also the red highlighting isn't quite strong enough, so im going to add another brighter layer. Overall Im happy with it though, I really want to paint more now lol.

[deathspectersgt7]

Some Great looking Sisters. How are you doing in SW?

[Vairocanum]

That tank is brilliantly painted, very crisp details. Looking forward to seeing your repressor conversion!
