Pokrzyw's Sisters of Battle - Month 1- Rank & File 1 - meltasquad OWAC VIII

"With bolter, flamer and melta is the foe purged. "




Plans for January:


In previous editions I tried to do biggest unit in the very beginning of challenge to avoid situation that my morale will be not enough to finish it. This time I take 7 sister standard squad plus 3 more to fulfill the challenge requirements:

This particular squad was planned for February, but this one was first in the box ;)

Realization:


Sisters of Battle are core of my army, and that unit was the trigger that put me in 40k in '90ies . Unfortunately it looks that old love is dead. It was torture to finish this squad. I spent last years in Fantasy Battle, returning to 40k might be a mistake.. They are finalized, but looking  forward 20+ more is really huge burden

Bright sides - new Warpaints Fanatic paints line is brilliant - these juicy reds painted on black base!


Final Gallery:


I decided to utilize nice weather outside and take old terrains that I was made for 40k. There they are:






Gift:


Yes, there is a gift for one of our supreme supervisors. I found something in inqusitorial recreation facility. Sending it via Poczta Polska was terrible experience (this relic of communism still is alive..). But it was done. I will not post a picture in this month resume - let it be kind of dirty surprise for receiver.


Extraordinary chaotic scanning appears. This time I've prepared Chaos Sorcerer from the depths or Reign of Chaos

SlaaneshChild was obvious choice as this little creature incantate "Slaanesh Slaanesh" every time that i look on him.





Plans for February:


Another squad of sisters plus (optional) two vehicles. Together with already painted squad, it would be great core for my forces.

  1. These ladies look really nice, it's a shame if you didn't enjoy painting them. I hope it gets easier with the next unit. Keep at it! :)

  2. Congratulations on turning frustration into something great, because these ARE great! That crisp, bright, red against the snow on the bases is spot on. Very cinematic. I really hope having these done helps you find your mojo again! :)

  4. I'm sorry to hear that you are not enjoying painting these miniatures and hope you can find a spark that keeps you going. The Squad looks really nice and dramatic with the strong red, black and white.

  5. yes! month one in the bag, and just one more to have a decent core to the army - remember: once they're painted, you never have to paint them again! Good luck!
