Endless Crusade - Sisters of Battle WIP

[Son_of_Osiris]

Hi all! I can think of no better time to start a log for my sisters of battle army.

Many folks are greatly dissapointed by the new WD codex and there are definately some areas that could have been much improved on, however, I find myself very satisfied in the sheer amount of stuff I could cram in lists and in the glorious variety of units I have in any given list. In many 1850pt cases, I have battle sisters, retributors, dominions, death cult assassins, crusaders, at least one member of the ecclesiarchy, saint celestine, rhinos, a variety of immolators, exorcists, in some cases I used repentia. Holy hobby oppertunities batman!!

I could not figure out how I was going to paint my SoB for a LONG time. I was going to go with the ol' white armor and red cloth when I decided to steal the Protectorate of Menoth's scheme from privateer press' warmachine range. I wanted white and red, but the cream colored armor of menoth really worked out and I love the rich red wine maroon. I had to mix several times to get the tone I wanted.

From painting the units and rhinos I have so far, I've realized just how time consuming a 2k sisters army is going to be! Its as huge as a guard army, but easily more finely detailed. I feel like I'm running the iron man of painting

Heres some of my finished and WIP models:

I'm hoping to get a few battle reps in soon. I'm playing Han's Kruegers necrons tomorrow night. He just won the indy GT, so congrats to him! We're on an ETC team together and are seriously considering SoB as one of our five armies. I also have a game lined up to face mech IG on thursday. I'm gonna take pics and write up reports

[fuzzbuket]

WOW those are amazing! all the colours are so smooth and the freehand and gold are excellent!

[DanteSuper]

Simply love it ! :)

[pathwinder14]

Beautiful work. I love the violet.

[Root]

Very very impressive! I especially like your Saint Celestine. I painted the bulk of my SoB army several years ago so they aren't quite up to my current standard though some of my newer stuff that I've added came out nice. If I get time I'll try and post a few pics tonight but your stuff does put most of mine to shame. (Meanwhile i do have one post in the gallery of my now useless scratch built Karamazov...) Curse you heretic for being better than me!

[eldargal]

Very pretty, always good to see SoB, too.

[celestialatc]

I am jealous of that white! It's amazing!

[Calypso2ts]

Love the paint scheme, it is unique and really pops for me. I also like the swap on Celestine to the Sanguinary Guard wings. It is interesting you made your Celestine Blonde, I always pictured her a a Brunette!

[Son_of_Osiris]

Thanks for the comments guys (and gal).

Yeah, this is actually my second celestine model, the first being brunette. I just wanted to try my hand a blonde and wanted a change of pace from all the other ladies I've painted thus far.

I'll tell ya what tho, I've seen so many plain ol' marine rhinos and razorbacks that I totally dig the SoB immolator/rhino frame. It makes it seem so unique and really changes the feel of the force for me.

[pretre]

Wow! Great looking sisters.

[Son_of_Osiris]

Thank you all for the comments! I just posted the first part of my game with the Indy GT champ's necrons. Buckle up ladies and gents, it's gonna be a rough one for a mech army!

That's a nice paint scheme, and your execution of it is flawless and crisp. I like the use of Sanguinary Guard wings on Celestine, too.

[doom-kitten]

*Sniffles* they soooo shiny and pretty makes me sad my army is still so unpainted...this means war, ;). I love the paint job even if their abit overly shiny, my own are pretty much the reverse in contrast but gotta say thanks, you've given me a reason and determination to paint my own army up (finally) and yes there will be pictures. Keep trucking dub I want to see more.

It's such a shame that GW is giving this line the cold shoulder, I'd really like to see more stuff like this on the table.

I really like the brass on the weapons, makes them stand out.

[greendestiny]

Very nice army thanks for sharing the pics!

[mafiacheese]

I like how utterly angry the Arch Confessor looks!

[Carlsson]

Very cool, the details are very impressive
