Tom's Sisters of Battle - Wrap Up




And the unedited pic, for extra pics 👇




The Sisters of Battle

I have very much enjoyed painting these new Drew Day Williams/Satyr Studio sculps alongside the official GW ones, although in the end, they didn't really turn out all that grimdark... 
Some highs include the two original Female Warriors: Jayne and Gabbs, and painting those two bikers - I'm really pleased with both of them.
Some lows include the varnish frosting on Sister Veridyan, which you could probably pick out in the pictures below. 
I'm also a little sad that I didn't get the Exorcist painted, but aaanyhow....crashing on!

Not much remains excepting a very massive Thanks and All Praise (again!) to the ever Looming Overload Iannick, and his henchman: the Powerful Moderator Byron.

All the other Challengers have been hugely inspirational and motivational in equal measures - it's so hard to pick a favourite, but of course there's no need to. Just a quick bask in the glorious Oldhammerness of it all - the sheer love and effort that people make over their armies, and I come back fully motivated and stronger to the paint table! 

Congratulations everyone, hopefully see you all next year!!!

    1. Hopefully I'll not get sidetracked into another army, although fingers crossed that that teaser 'locks' me in to it!

    1. Many thank you's! It's crazy how this great Challenge has motivated me to paint for *checks notes* five years. Bonkers! There's no way I'd ever have thought I could paint as much as I have.... What would we ever do without it?!

  8. Lovely work, somehow combining lots of bright colours with a proper grimy Warhammer 40k feel. Another triumph!
