Saturday night, I needed a break from painting figures the holiday game, so I returned to my Blessed Sisters.
I have wanted a force of sci-fi nuns-with-guns since I first heard they existed, and I'm thrilled to have finished "stage 1".
I can now field a force for Grim Dark Future : Firefight of 300 points, give or take depending on which upgrades I take. FWIW, you can play GD:FF with more points but I find it takes way too long, since most units consist of a single figure, and units activate individually.

I still have five of the Battle Sisters to build and paint, but that's "stage 2" and a 2025 project.
Between now and Christmas, I'll be churning out figures for the Christmas Day game. I'll share some progress on that in the next post. I know that I'm dragging my feet on the painting because making my own figures for the monsters seems a little intimidating but also because I now have multiple ideas for the adversaries - option paralysis as they say.
These "ladies" look suitably murderous - great work John.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maudlin Jack!
DeleteExcellent new additions John! Are those decals on their capes? All really well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brad! Yes, they are decals. Sonic Sledgehammer makes a point of mentioning how they add something to the figures, so I went ahead and added them.
DeleteI may be mistaken, but I have found the decals I've used of late (these official GW decals and the aftermarket Blood Raven decals) to be much sturdier than the ones I remember from my childhood. Those would often tear just getting them out of the water, let alone while sliding them onto the model. I was admittedly clumsier then but I'm not that much less clumsy now! I find these decals can be pushed around with a brush, picked up with tweezers, etc. with no damage.
