Hi all, i had just had my Army finished off. i have been collecting Sisters of Battle for about 3 years now on and off, last Nov i got some guys in area to Paint them for me i wanted to go with White Armour and Red robes, keeping Tanks Black and having bit of Red to spice it up a bit.
As there is not alot of SOB army’s (mainly cos there £6-£8 per model)i thought i would post mine and see what you guys thought.

if you know someone high up in GW can you please ask them to give me a full codex. Working out of 2 mags is no fun lol.

i have about 3000 points, but that’s allowing a few weapon swaps and HQs. (ofc i cannot field all 4 HQs) so i can make a 2500 army nicely now.
i will post few on here, if you wish to see more i will give link at bottom

HQ. Saint Celestine, Jacobus



Battle Sisters, Sister Repentia



Celestian


Full Army shot


i pass all Credit on to Nick Peart. From Middle Earth Studios, Notts UK for Painting my Army, there is just a hand full of Preist's being done atm

All army photos are here - http://s883.photobucket.com/albums/ac38/Troll1986/Sisters%20of%20Battle%20Army%20Warhammer%2040k/

Thanks for looking this is my 1st post, please let me know what you guys think

Some more that would not load up just below this. sorry about that.

Awesome collection... And great paintjob

Nicely done! I bring a printed PDF version to games and tourneys for use and keep the WDs in my case. I give a little disclaimer to each opponent before the game and no one has ever had a problem.

Thanks Dwarf Wolf they did a great job, just wish we had a few more diff models or some plastic to make troops look diff.

and yer i have made a home made Codex Pretre, but its not Quite the same as a full codex. hoping we get one b4 end of year but long shot i feel. :(

Thanks

Sweet. Like the ivory scheme - works great with red.

I echo that we NEED a mega Sisters/Witch hunters release a lá Dark Eldar soon!

Here Here lol, i do like DE, but not sure if i will have time for a 2nd army if i did they would be it.

as for Painting, yer i think they all come together nicely, i was going to have Tanks White also but i think it would have looked very plane, i am lookin forward to getting my Preists back.

Great looking stuff! Love to see the rare army's especially when that are completely painted like yours. Hopefully GW will revive this facet of the imperium before they become antiquated.

i know right.... Very rare it would seem.

i looked on this site to try see more SOB armys to get some idears, but there was very few. it would be nice if GW keep them in the game & gave them more Models then maybe more people will play them.

a few sites saying there staying, a few saying will be phased out. i have no idear what to believe now. but at 9 sisters and 1 Sarg = £40 / $64 (crazy money for 10 troops)

Thanks again for comment, i am looking forward to getting some more feedback

SoB are included in the main rulebook for 6th, so it is unlikely they are going anywhere.

Thats Great news , should be going to Warhammer World this sat to order my copy of 6th Ed.

nice Army dude, respect to any1 that can paint there own models!

i can not paint at all, i have tryed it was just 1 big white blob with red bits. lol epic fail. ^^

lol. Hey, I was there when I started. I spent a lot of years slowly getting better. Keep working on it and you'll get there eventually.

And thanks!

Just found a better shot of Army to upload (not from Phone camera)

looks much better. Enjoy

Looks very respectable. I'm struggling with my army now as far as paint goes. Cudos to those who helped you out.

Thanks mate, i can not paint anyway. i spent all Gaming as a kid with a un painted army, said to my self that would not happen again.

it took about 7-8 months in small groups at a time. but well worth it. it makes me want to play more tbh.

Hi guys, i pre ordered my 6th Ed Rule book, when i did i also saw the Army list and Thank God the Sisters are in there! i am vvery happy about this.

also note pretre you was 100% right, we could not find much info on new rulebook till today. just glad to see it with my own eyes lol

hope this will also bring out some more SOB player.

Look great good work!

Fabulous Job! You have much more patience than i do. I didn't even get through one P-Engine.

Thanks Guys, and Lucy i did not Paint them, but i bet it took him a few hours lol

Looks like it would have taken a few days. No close ups of the Exorcists though?

there is one on that link to Photobucket, howeva its not a very good shot :( as i used my phone to take pics i had to take most models 2-3 times b4 it looked good,

lighting was crap and only 4 meg/p on phone. i must have deleted 40 photos b4 i uploaded them to Photobucket.

i will try get a new one uploaded from a Camera for u. as it looks great.

Exorcists, still not great shots. but you get the idear

Just found a earlyer Photo of 20 Battle Sisters with Canoness & Immolator

the Priest's are done, going to pick them up monday

enjoy
