Alessia's Order of Our Martyred Lady

[Sister Alessia]

I didn't know it was based on a novel. I just thought it was silly fun movie, with lots of satire like in his other movies. Knew I should of watched Bridget Jones instead.

[Sister Alessia]

Hi all! Just finished up 3 more battle sisters, a Seraphim and a Vet Sister Superia. Yay! It was hard work with it being so hot, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

 

That's 12 battle Sisters painted in all now.

Gosh darn, just realised I haven't highlighted her gold.

My fav so far. Vet Sister Superia Franny Devaux

IIRC, the rank is "Sister SuperIOR" (emphasis mine). "Sister SuperIA" is used for Wargame Exclusive's "We're not violating Games Workshop's copyrights! See? The names are totally different!" knockoffs.

 

Excellent work, nonetheless.

[Sister Alessia]

Thank you for the kind words and clarification :)

[Servant of Dante]

They look really nice!

[Sister Alessia]

Thank you Dante! They look much better in person. I used to have a light box, which was amazing for pics, I must get another. Inspired by your deep fluff, I've decided to name all Sisters of Superior rank or higher :)

 

Next Phase: Finish painting Immolater 1. Build Immolater 2 (my weakest skill, eek) Paint 2 Melta Sisters; paint 4 Seraphim.

I love the conversion on Franny. Did you use the hand from the original or is it a space marine hand on the chainsword? I ask because I've just paint stripped the same model and was debating replacing the icon.

[Sister Alessia]

I don't have the original hand unfortunately. So Its just a space marine hand, painted metal. That way it justifies the larger size as its a bionic hand :) I like her so much, she may lead my SWA and killteams ☺

[Red_Shift]

It's a cool conversion for sure.

[Sister Alessia]

Thank you Red X The backpack is from Inquisitor Greyfax, if you were wondering. Grey Fax conversion coming soon :) 

[Slave to Darkness]

You got some sweet looking minis here. :tu:

[Knight of the Raven]

Nice highlighting, and like I said in that one other thread, I love your canoness' lucerne hammer (though I can't say the same for her anime/Escher hair. ).

 

And building old plastic rhinos... That might be even worse than drilling barrel holes in metal models. I was so glad to see the chassis updated.

[Sister Alessia]

Thank you SlaveTD. I've got more free time coming up next week, for lots of painting! Really hoping to have 500 points painted by the 12th of this Month.

 

Cheers KnightotR, I was so hoping we could take thunder hammers this edition, alas! And how dare you! She has the same hair I have :P

[robofish7591]

If you have hair like your canoness... maybe I need to stop running Uriah Jacobus...

[Sister Alessia]

Not wearing my power armour today though ;)

 

 

[Servant of Dante]

The way that hammer conversion is angled looks really natural, to the point where I hadn't even thought about how good it looked before.

 

(and I agree there is a striking similarity in hair :P )

Thanks Dante! I wasn't happy with the inferno pistol arm, as it slipped slightly from its weight. Ive re-repositioned it since and it looks much better. Im very happy with the hammer arm though :)

[Servant of Dante]

Yeah, putting on stand alone pistols can really be a pain. I had to dig up practically every left handed bolt pistol I had when I did up 15 of my 30 Death Company as Bolt pistol and Chainsword, they really can be a pain.

 

If it's really being an issue, I'll apply the glue and hold the piece in place for a minute or 2 (that part can be really frustrating, since my hands shake sometimes, and I'm not nearly old enough to be having that issue), then once it's semi-dry I prop the model up using whatever I have laying around at an angle where the pistol stays in place, or I clamp the base with an electrician's vice and set the vice at an angle that, again, lets the piece stay in place.

 

Edit: and I've still never really fielded all 30 of those Death Company. I've had the models for like a year and a half now . . . but then I started Sisters, and kinda lost interest in playing Blood Angels :D

The Canoness looks good with a hammer.

[Sister Alessia]

I think the fact she is finecast and the pistol is metal didn't help. I will take an updated picture next week, when I'm back at my flat. Using a vice is a great idea, I could really do with one. Gosh 30 death company sounds epic. I do really like Blood Angels, great fluff and the prettiest marine miniatures :)

 

Sorry to hear your still having the shakes. It can be caused by so many things e.g. diet, too much caffiene, medication e.t.c. My brother's been effected by arthritis since he was 19,so dont rule it out. You should definitely get it checked out.

 

Thank you Bjorn! I thinks the power maul is a good option to balance the low strenth, as well as looking cool. Plus 4 points is awesome! Looking forward to whacking some traitor guard with it next week :D

[Servant of Dante]

Haha I know my diet is crap, maybe I should get it looked at . . .

 

The BA are still special to me, first army and all. And their fluff is certainly great! And that pistol is metal? Ouch, yeah that must have been a pain.

[robofish7591]

Metal pistol on a resin model is one of those things that I usually just hold together while I watch TV or something.  Pinning is also a good option to make the join stronger.

[OrdoMilitaris]

I really like the paint scheme - definitely table ready and will really look the part.

 

I'm quite new to this forum too - how did you post pics straight to the site?Ive been using links to Flickr but there must be an easier way!

To post an image, you first either upload it to your B&C gallery, or to some other image hosting site. Then right click the image and copy the image address. Then use the image tool when writing your post to insert he image (is the icon that looks like a photograph in the toolbar at the top of the reply box).

 

Here's the official B&C guide to posting and hosting images: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141716-posting-and-hosting-images-at-the-bc/

 

I'm not that tech-savy myself, so if you need further help, I'd suggest sending a message to a Mod. I believe Olis is the one who helped me out when I had this same question a while back.

 

Edit: Sorry for taking your thread a bit off topic, Alessia :)
