custom order crusade army

[Joukernaut]

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty new to the sisters, but not to Warhammer. A friend of mine recently gifted me an entire army of old and new sisters in exchange for the new Necrons from the Indomitus box. He had no intention of painting and playing them anymore and I recently expressed a great interest for the sisters due to their awesome mechanic of miracle dice. I'm a casual, narrative player nowadays and plan to start a crusade of this army to burn the heretics!. The paint job will be fast to make this army realistic since I lack time and own several other armies, but I do plan to make several conversions.

I already did a testmodel with contrast and some highlights and I'm decently satisfied to go with the scheme.

I also started some conversions of a canoness

and two ministorm priests.

I plan do some updates as. make progress, but I'm notoriously slow.

If you have any advice on what units are fun to play, let me know.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The modifications are well done; you demonstrated good painting skills on the Sister.

Nice work! I love that last ministorum priest in particular. What parts did you make that from? So well done. 

[Joukernaut]

Thanks for the kind words Vossyvo!

I'm not completely sure on where all the bits are from. Most of the figure is the Necromunda Cawdor headsman. in his left hand is a shotgun from the Escher kit, with some kind of handle from why bits box to make it resemble the shotgun from Arnold Schwarzenegger in terminator. His right hand is some metal part from the sisters of battle. It came with the army I was gifted. The poles on his back are fantasy bits from my bits box. They might be from the flagellant kit, but I'm not completely sure.

The back banner is indeed from the Flagellants kit.

 

The right hand looks like it's from this old Cannoness.

I'm currently working on my first squad of battle sisters. I'm hoping to finish them soon, apart from basing with I will do later in a large batch. Trying to get to 25 power to start crusading!

[Joukernaut]

First squad finished, except the bases. I think I'll do the bases all in one go at the end. I saw a very cool rolling pin from greenstuffworld that creates a broken temple floor, I reckon I'll go with that. Just have to think of a good way to elevate the older sisters a bit. At the moment I'm thinking of gluing 25 mm bases on top of 32 mm bases, using the rolling pin on the 25 mm base and do the edges with sand, debris, etc. Other good ideas are very welcome.

[Joukernaut]

Second squad of 15 battle sisters on its way, this time old sisters! I must say I absolutely love these old sculpts.

[Joukernaut]

Old sisters done!

I'm debating what unit to do next:

1) 10 seraphim, 5 metal, 5 plastic

2) 10 Zephyrim, 5 metal, 5 plastic, all conversions

3) 17 Repentia, 9 metal, 8 plastic

Any thoughts?

[Joukernaut]

So I went with the repentia, and they are about done!

[Joukernaut]

now on to some HQ's and dominions I think.

[Silas7]

About those bases

[Joukernaut]

those bases look lovely, but I already found a solution. I haven't updates much, but I have made some serious progression.

I will update soon or create a new thread about my army.

[Joukernaut]

Sneak peak of the entire army, I guess I'll make separate foto's of every unit soonish.
