Sith’ari Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hey all!So after a few months of scrimping and saving, this wonderful box of goodies arrived the other day:http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/00501d62-e587-44a0-9051-eb33c76cacb1_zps444871d1.jpgThats a whole lot of metal! In a couple of months time, a good friend and I are starting up an old fashioned campaign, representing an Imperial crusade into the long abandoned Culderis sector. Rather than using marines again, I fancied mixing it up and so I finally bought the SoB army I'd been promising myself for years - perfect for purging whatever horrors await them in the Culderis crusade! As is traditional when embarking on any new project, a couple of test minis were in order. So, via the miracles of crappy old camera-vision I present my first two (unbased) sisters:http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/6097a42f-6045-4bc3-8af1-388cdbc3c52c_zps6384752d.jpgThey are still abit WIP, especially the black hair on the one on the left (seriously, if anybody knows how to highlight black hair without it looking grey, please share!) but this is the general look I'm going for.I've started work on the rest of their unit, so I should have an update ready pretty soon! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendal1989 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I like your color scheme. I'm a big fan of sister diversity, and I don't think I've seen one like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Such a collection to get all at once! That must have been quite the effort, of course now you've done this I suppose sod's law demands that the plastic Sisters rumour be true and they arrive shortly :lol: That's a great colour scheme you have and well painted too, I will be very much looking forward to seeing your army come along :D For black I'd work up from a grey, maybe something as simple as a few black washes as hair isn't a "true" black. Plus the Sisters have well sculpted hair so washes work very well on the recesses. What sort of basing are you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Loving the colour scheme. The other option is to use a dark, translucent blue for highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedibear Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I love the scheme! As for the hair, a dark-ish blue should work. Maybe Coal Black from the P3 range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBen Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 These look awesome! Can't wait to see more... Really digging the gold armour. What have you got planned for the bases? So, what exactly was in the box of goodies? Is the UK having the same issue with various sculpts disappearing from the Online Store and not getting replaced? I know NZ/Australia doesn't have a whole lot of options available now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxlight713 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Blue can be used to hightlight black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Seems someone likes the penitent engines. Is it just the 3 of them or is the box pretty deep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Very nice paint scheme. I'm interested in where you take the army. Any chance we can get a list of what you picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Cheers all! After about three years of painting Black Legion it feels good to be painting some actual colours again! :D For those curious about what's in the big box of awesome, it contains: 3 Sister blisters 10 Seraphim Saint Celestine 2 Heavy Flamers 1 Melta sister 3 Penitent Engines 2 Immolators 2 Exorcists So as you can see, a crazy amount of stuff! But I tend to buy most of the years project in one go, as that way I stay focused (I refuse to leave any model unpainted!) :D Thanks for the suggestions on highlighting the hair. I never thought about using dark blues, so I will definitely be trying that out. For the bases, the board we will be playing most of the campaign on has a barren, dried river bed vibe, so I'm thinking a darkened, cracked earth will be worth a shot. The trick will be making the base dark enough so that it doesn't blend in with the model, but light enough so that it complements the board.

Malovence Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 When someone spends this much on Sisters in one go, it's pretty clear that means Sisters will come in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 One might think... To a similar end, though - a similar message - someone on another forum is organising a 'protest buy' for the fourth of march. They'll be sending an email explaining and buying a single model - the idea is that we get as many people as possible to buy the same model at the same time on that day, kind of like a financial signature on a petition. Lol, fine then, i will endeavour to spread the message... Soon enough to catch things before the "possible" new rumours... For any reading here, i'll do a quick synopsis: 4th of march, giving GW plc a few days to sort out the crisis. This Model will be purchased at: 8am PST 10am CST 11am EST for the US 4pm GMT in the UK 5pm CET for most of Europe This will come with a kind message to GW letting them know this is a petition for attention to be given to the Adepta Sororitas line of models.

Malovence Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's an interesting idea I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'd seriously consider it. I was thinking of getting the Heavy Bolter Sister, Hospitaller (both my fave sculpts ) and Celestine (again) this month anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 When someone spends this much on Sisters in one go, it's pretty clear that means Sisters will come in a few months. Oh thats 100% guaranteed! This organised buy-in sounds like a pretty good idea, so count me in! In fact, the main reason I bought from GW direct was to show the range some support. B) I've pretty much finished the gold now on the two five man squads. Time to start the purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm looking forward to seeing this army completed. Is the background for the Order of the Gilded Pyre still in development? If it's finished, or when you finish it, I'd like to add the order to the Tabula Sororitas (see the submission requirements here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Looking a bit troop light on that list dude (needs more melta dude), still an awesome start though. ;) The buy in protest where as I like the concept, I just sadly can't see them taking notice or enough people following through with it.

Sith’ari Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm looking forward to seeing this army completed. Is the background for the Order of the Gilded Pyre still in development? If it's finished, or when you finish it, I'd like to add the order to the Tabula Sororitas (see the submission requirements here). Ooh that sounds great! I'm still a long way off of finalizing their background, but I will definately let you know when its ready to go! B) Looking a bit troop light on that list dude (needs more melta dude), still an awesome start though. Ahaha! Since I'm normally the guy that always runs 3x 10 man CSM squads in Rhino's, for me this list is scarily troop light! However, for this campaign we are starting at around 1200pts and gradually building up from there, so I will definately be adding some bigger squads and a couple of Dominion units, the first chance I get. Painting wise, I've sooooo nearly finished the first 2 squads, so expect a proper update early next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
