Sister Act IV: There is Only War

 The first three Adepta Sororitas battle sisters are complete!

Looks like I missed a spot with the matte varnish on back left figure. I'm also going to redo the decals so they are all on the same corner of the cape.

I'm not 100% satisfied with my brushwork - but I am rather pleased with the way their capes came out: 

Close-up photos are the bane of a sloppy painters existence, and I can see lots of things that need attention, and I may go back and fix those things, but for now they are tabletop ready (once I fix the decals).

Although I've managed to stat out a 200 point Grimdark Future : Firefight force with these three figures, by applying various upgrades, and will get them on the table sooner rather than later, I will be starting on three more figures (two battle sisters and one canoness) shortly, in order to field a full 300 point force.

Ten battle sisters (a full squad) works as an Ecclessiarchy team in Kill Team, although I don't have the rules for that, and there is a weekly Kill Team meetup at the FLGS which is something I might consider in the coming year.

  1. Beautifully lethal looking figures John! You may see problems, but to my eyes, they are really well done! Sloppy would be the last word that comes to my mind!

    1. Thank you, Brad! I like to imagine my painting in this style is improving. My toy soldier style is so much simpler to do but just doesn't fit the theme here!

  2. They look great!

    Just like you didn't notice things while painting that show up in close-ups, no one will see them when they're on the tables top. All they'll see is some really well painted miniatures!

    1. Thank you, Tim! That's very much appreciated. There are so many gorgeously painted GW figures to view on the internet, I sometimes find it difficult to avoid making comparisons - especially in close-up!
