Captain Engelhardt Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Alright everybody, here is the army I have almost completed over the last few months. I proudly present: The Sisters of Silence! I'm playing the army as my counts-as Grey Knights force, so I'll add a description of what each unit is meant to represent below the pictures. I have a lot of pics to share, so I'll just start this off with the HQ and Elite choices and then add more later. Alright, here we go: The Raven's Claw Assault Cadre HQ: Sister Commander Leilani Sister Excrutiatus Kassandra Elites: Vindicare Assassin Eristede Kell Troops: Custodian Squad Amon Custodian Squad Elysion Sisters Vigilator Squad Elphiana Sisters Vigilator Squad Maritee Sisters Devastator Squad Amilie Sanctioned Battle Psyker Squad Omega 3-42 Transports: Adeptus Mechanicus Speeder Frozen Heart Adeptus Mechanicus Speeder Black Rose Custodian Emperor's Gift Speeder Heavy Support: Baron Knight Titan Hound of Wrath Robot Maniple Alpha Robot Maniple Beta Points in total: 1850 Sister Commander Maneela Leilani, Sister in charge of the Raven's Claw Assault Cadre http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/image...RaptorGuard.png http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030016.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030018.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030021.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2636.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2645.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2650.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2644.jpg Sister Commander Leilani is my stand in for Coteaz and unlocks the Inquisitorial Henchmen that I use as my Sisters as Troops. She performs well on the battlefield and one of her greatest deed so far was taking out a Leman Russ Executioner on her own, as well as an Eldar Wraithlord. If she is not engaging the enemy at the front line, she helps directing the fire from the heavy support elements of the Sister's arsenal. Sister Excrutiatus Kassandra ...keeping the morale up high. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/ExcrutiatusExtractionSquad.png http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1070036.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030007.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030009.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2706.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2710.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2712.jpg Sister Excrutiatus Kassandra is my 2nd-in-command and serves as my Ordo Malleus Inquistor with Power Armour, Hellrifle and 3 Servoskulls. She sits in the back with the Sister's Devastator Squad and shoots stuff that comes too close. Although she does well in most battles, I plan on re-equipping her and play her as an Ordo Xenos Inquistor with Psychotroke Grenades, Force weapon and Needle Pistol. Eriste Kell, Assassin of the Vindicare temple ...Ka-Blamm. You're dead. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030001.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030005.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030006.jpg Eristede Kell is the most reliable killing machine in the army. He literally never misses and almost never fails to take out important enemy models. Therefore the fact that in 10+ games he has NEVER been shot at gets even more surprising. The enemy seems to ignore him everytime looking for better targets... They really shouldn't. In his games, Eristede Kell has taken out every heretic construct imaginable, be it a Dark Eldar Talos, a Tau Hammerhead, an Ork Warboss or Blood Angel Terminators. So much for now, I'll add more tomorrow :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Engelhardt Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks for the replies mates, let's get on with this then: Troops Choices!

They are equipped with 3 halberds, a psycannon and a demonhammer. Custodian Squad Elysion http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2605.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2603.jpg As you can see these guys are still Work In Progress... I don't know if I will finish them, since the GK FAQ says I don't need GK anymore if I play Coteaz. Sisters Vigilator Squad Elphiana Waaaaaaaagh! ...or sth. like that. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/SoS1.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1030027.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1010089.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1010074.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1010079.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1010091.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/MD002865.jpg Although the Squads are painted by now, I don't have any painted pictures of them. I'll make some in the next few days and edit them in, I promise :) These squads are the backbone of the army. They consist of: 6 Death Cult Assassins 1 Warrior with Melta 2 Crusaders 1 Banisher with Eviscerator They can take on anything in close combat and they have slain many foes in my games. Their only weakness is their low armoursaves, so they ride in a Chimera to get to where they are needed. The DCA make DE Wyches look like little girls and an opponent always looks at me strangely when my 2 Crusaders easily survived the wounds dealt by his oh-so-mighty-close-combat-hero-with-powerfist. Sisters Vigilator Squad Maritee http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/SoS2.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/MD002792.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/MD002789.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2607.jpg Although the Squads are painted by now, I don't have any painted pictures of them.

Captain Engelhardt Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Sisters Devastator Squad Amilie Take aim... fire! http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1010195.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/P1010197.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2690.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2692.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2696.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2698.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2726.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2729.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2731.jpg This is the sit-back-and-hold-that-objective kind of squad. It consists of: 8 Warriors with Bolter/Hotshot Lasguns 2 Servitors with Heavy Bolters 1 Servitor with Multimelta 1 Jokaero Weaponsmith Combined with either Coteaz or the Inquistor they deal a lot of damage to anyone who dares to come too close. Sanctioned Battle Psyker Squad Omega 3-42 ...yes, those dudes just took out your Land Raider. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2598.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2659.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2661.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2662.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2664.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2665.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/jaycop313/DSCF2666.jpg Those dudes are just fun. For 60 points they are a steal and if they don't roll their double 1s or 6s, they are extremely potent. Also, Ld 8 is not that bad for a psychic shooting attack that has S8 AP1, they kill more stuff than you would thik. I keep these guys in cover to give them a better save and with their 36" range they can dish out damage and still claim objectives. Alright, that's it for troops, I'll add more later this day or tomorrow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticaria Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Amazing. The models look really busy when they are WIP, but once painted look really good. I think you've done an incredible job in matching the artwork. Also, I really like your color choices and consistency throughout the army. I bet they look really neat together. Would you be able to snap an Army pic at some point? -Myst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighter X Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Amazing painting and conversions, but honestly I stopped looking and reading after the Harry Potter references. Sorry mate, but it's true. Cheers, FFX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Engelhardt Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 after the Harry Potter references. Sorry mate - lost me there, what references? Thanks for the replies anyways guys.

Shotbreak Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Loving the Custodes *YOINK* Gotta take a few of your awesome ideas and use them on some of my future Veteran Squad projects :) Sisters of Silence are looking spectacular too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peturabo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 after the Harry Potter references. Sorry mate - lost me there, what references? I'm guessing the name The Raven's Claw, pretty close to Ravenclaw if you ask me. ;) OnT: Awesome minis, simply stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Wow man you really took those Sisters of Silence conversions to the next level! Well done, sir, I applaud you!

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hmm, how to fit all my specific points of coolness in... -The glowing effect on all of them is excellent, especially the Vindicare. Sister Maneela -That mask was executed perfectly. -She looks just like the pictures. -The back banner is beyond fantastic. Sister Excrutiatus Kassandra -Excluding the bird, she looks exactly like the picture. -That head orientation looks perfect to me for some reason. -The flames on the back two are excellent, especially the blue at the base then the orange. Mr. Ka-BLAMM -The pose is perfect, although that's more the sculpt. :) -As previously stated, that glowing effect was excellent. -One minor problem is that the straps blend in a bit, so a tad ligher color might be nice. Squad Amion -Once again, the glow is excellent. -A near-perfect conversion. The use of feathers and marine heads is ingenious. I'm too used to the High Elves. -My only problem is the hooded head on the middle guy. It looks a bit out of place. Otherwise, the painting and converting are well worth a 9 or 10 on CMON. Squad Elysion -Ah, the Elves had to show up one day. :) Much better than any other usage of elf heads I've seen. -The palm-out hand is well-done. Is that a missile launcher hand? -Can I get a side-shot on them? Squad Maritee -Whoah! I mean, whoa! That flying sister o' chain death is incredible. You got the pose just right. -I like those cloaks. What did you use as a base? -Do we get picks of the warrior and the other two Death Cult? Squad Amilie -A flawless conversion with the ranging gear. -What's the base of the backpack from? -Nice use of the Guard voxpack. Psykers -If they weren't dirty mutants, they would be my third favorite squad. -I like how you did the blind folds. -Your paintjob on the robes fits quite well. Overall, I give it 6 thumbs out of 5 :) :P B) :tu: :tu: :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 At first I would have said they looked too much like Dark Eldar... And then I realized this is the Grimdark Gothic future of 2nd and 3rd Edition in model form. Truly brilliant sir, truly brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Azeikel Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Simply stunning. These miniatures are amazing, I love how you have been so faithful to the original artwork!

Dorns Padawan Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 :lol: they have to be the best set of pre heresy/heresy era mini's I have EVER seen!
