Tom's Sisters of Battle: Month Three - Troopers (290 points)

March's effort is more Sisters!

I seem to have painted all replicates from last month...

Loved painting this model - I especially like the pink hair and the glowing buttons on the gun.👇

A standard trooper, and actually: this version was the first version of this sculpt I painted - and I should have swapped her with the one I posted in January. I feel they both came out as good as each other though👇

Maybe she's battling some flying creatures or something? Anyway, I was pleased her eyes came out better this second time around 👇

Another purple haired warrior... A bit of a struggle on this one, for some reason. I liked painting it, but it's not come out quite how I wanted - maybe a little rushed. 👇

I love this sculpt too! I feel this paint is an improvement on the last one - especially the gun. For some reason I went with super tiny cheques on the shoulder... I'm fortunate that the lighting seems spot on in the pic!👇

Here's another model which I should have swapped with last month's, as I painted this one first. I'm pleased that the one I posted for January came out better, what with all those photos an' all that - although in hindsight I probably should shy away from painting the fingers as skin rather than armoured! 👇

A model I painted this month which is really hard to distinguish from the Sister from last month, as I seem to have painted them almost identically!👇

This Sister might have seen too much...👇

Running for cover, or running for to attacc?👇

A Sister toting a... bomb launcher. I like the stripy bomb-grenades :)👇

Again, I chickened out of tackling the flagellants, but did paint up the the next closest thing - which is this Imperial Preacher. I was toying with trying to fit some cheques in, maybe around the hood collar but... no dice. Maybe I should have painted the sleeve ends a different colour also, or added some kind of scripture somewhere there, but he is done enough for me!

I really like how his skin came out, and the blue/green on the sigil he's holding👇

An Officer of the Fleet. A nice change from all that red. Usually I struggle a bit with blue, but I feel it's turned out well, and I think his face is my best painted yet. When I was painting him, he reminded me of Peter Cushin, or maybe Patrick Stewart...👇

I've also gone and added some cherubs to the pile! Here they are with a kinda timestamp - next to the tank that I've started (although probably in the wrong colour. I think the tank should be green, considering the Sisters weapons are all green. However, it's now blue...) We'll just gloss over the fact that these GW sculpts are super new!

Here's two of the floaty boi's. I love them, so I couldn't not paint one up straight away for this post! They'll be used to plug any holes in the movement trays or flesh out units👇
