Poor Sisters have no friends

Well this afternoon I spent all my time blinging up the Organ on my Exorcist to get it up to the shiniest gold I could.

That gold looks... really gold!

Have you tried using the Vallejo Liquid Gold line? Holy cow that stuff is amazing. One coat, BAM, shiniest stuff you can put on a model.

That being said, it's alcohol based, so you need a dedicated brush and a pot of rubbing alcohol or thinner to clean the brush afterwards. I picked up a pot of it to do the gold on my Haqqislam visors, so I'll let you know how that goes, but man oh man, watching some others work with it was really impressive.

I love the colors for the Sisters. Anytime they get some love I give some thumbs up. I think I'm rather biased as to your Vindicare Assassin though... I wonder why...

Hi Chemical Cutthroat welcome to my blog

I've built the gold up from P3 Blighted Gold then Vallejo Polished Gold and finally Vallejo Liquid gold each time doing a thinner line down each barrel of the organ so it looks as if light is being reflected off it.

I can see why your biased to the Vindicare Assassin just need to get round to giving her some paint time.

Update time and I've finished all 900 points worth for my doubles tournament this weekend, it was a close call and was only just finished in time.

Here's the last few members and a poor army shot

Looking awesome =) The Exorcist looks great, especially the scrolls, and i'm liking the gold. Groovy Celestine too!

Many thanks S'jet glad your liking the girls

Game 1 vs Eldar and Imperial Guard

They had two Quad guns being manned by Fire Dragon Exarch's with their special crack shot ignore cover shots. Our Stormravens went down quite quickly especially being hunted by two Vendettas as well. Celestine and her girls took out two Warwalker units that outflanked with krak grenades.

It was a good fight but one we didnt stand a chance to win.





Game 2 vs Necrons and Tyranids

We really hammered these guys hard after our 1st game the Exorcist had some fun shooting at the tyranid creature thing that breeds giving it a real head ache while the Stormravens mindstriked them and that finished them both off. After we took out the nids we moved onto the Necron allies.

We won this game quite easily.

Game 3 vs Imperial Guard and Imperial Guard

They started off with a double tank wall it really was quite daunting, we managed to get our Storm Ravens on turn two and held the tank s back with them and the Exorcist while popping off a few Melta shots here and there. Celestine got the personal trait that gave her and her girls outflanking, they worked there way across the table burning all the guardsmen that got popped out of their armoured transports.

We one by tabling them this game.



At the end of day one we were in second place with our first opponent in first place.

Game 4 vs Imperial Guard and Imperial Guard

Now this game as silly they had 4 Vendettas and a Valkyrie and took out our quad gun first turn, we really took a ton of damage but gave as good as we got. At one point Celestine had two Vendettas and the Valkyrie chasing her round the table

We lost due to objectives but it was very close and was only about 80 vp's in it.

Game 5 vs Space marines and Space marines

This game was for kill points and it was a blood fest both our armies met in the middle and there was tanks exploding everywhere and lots of marines and Sisters as well!

We managed to pull a win by one victory point because Celestine got back up in turn 6.

Game 6 vs Imperial Guard and Chaos Space marines



The last game of the second day. We deployed first with the sisters and Coteaz holding one flank and Celestine and a henchman unit holding the other. They deployed down Celestine's end of the table and her and the henchman managed to cause so much damage it was amazing. towards the end of the game my lone Seraphim with hand flamers went after a guard squad after her and Celestine with the help of the death cult assassins killed the CSM commander and his unit. She took out 8 guardsman in one unit from one round of hand flamers and charged the remaining lascannon team but got locked in combat till the end of the game.

Sadly we had to end the game due to time after turn five and lost due to them having an objective, we could have easily won if we went to turn five. When we totalled up victory points they took off us just over 300 and we had killed just over 100 points worth.

We finished the tournament in fourth place with the Eldar and guardsman player from round one going undefeated for the 1st place.

it was a great weekend and I was really impressed with the Sisters performance, I usually play Nurgle CSM so it was a nice change of pace, Celestine really does rock though

The sisters are looking mighty fine X , and the terrain on the battle report is cool , those tree stumps are excellent

Thanks on the Sisters The terrain is quite good at these tournaments my Seraphim hate that green felt though, they were falling down all over the place

Looks like you had a fun time !

4th isn't bad either !

As for the army shot, it's not as bad as you claim it to be... The army looks great !

Cheers Ygg's it was a great weekend, I really enjoyed using the Sisters they were very different to Plague Marines which is what I've been playing recently.

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the army shot

My pleasure

Its been a while since I made her but I finally got round to painting my version of Inquisitor Valeria.



She has a big farseer rune painted on the front of her left leg which you cant see

Not much going on in this blog at the moment but things will be picking up in a few months time when I begin work on the Exorcists and Celestial Lions.

Speaking of Celestial Lions Nerdfest09 was kind enough to paint the first mini for my army for me, now I have a standard to aim towards with the rest.

Here's Mr Celestial Awesome by Nerdfest09







He will be based when I pick up the materials needed for the rest of the army.

Consider me along for the ride Giraffe! :-) I freakin' love the aegis line and gun! brilliant weathering you nailed it perfectly! and the sisters exorcist is beautiful, the scroll and filigree is excellent!

Sweetness itself! Nice job Nerdy!

Today we have something painted by me

Another model I've had sat on my painting table for ages. It was a cheap ebay win ages ago which I was going to paint up and sell when I needed some spare cash.

The model is Asmodai of the Dark Angels (old metal version), well I painted him up this weekend but decided I liked him so much I'm going to keep him

I used a number of different painting techniques, the gold from NF09's blog but with a different base colour, the robes were painted in exactly the same way as my Raptors armour. I also had a play with his sword. I painted it in the same way you see a lot of the air brushed power swords with the stripes of fading colour going along the blade but I did it in metallics and then washed it in Badab Black to blend in the highlights.










His base does really look like sand here's a not very good shot from above

That is actually one of my favorite models! and you've done him justice :-) good job dude! his armor is black without being just black and the robes are really good! whoever inspired you with that gold is a genius! ;-)

I also think the sand base is perfect for him, the contrast works so well with the other colours you used, overall a very nicely painted mini GFX!

and the technique with the sword! bloody good idea too!

Cheers NF09 glad you like him

I'll have to do some more Dark Angels in the future.
