After that, the question still stands. Anyone see one with a good paint job?

There are some models that no paint job can redeem.

All of the Adepta symbols are an I with some sort of symbol on them.

The Ecclesiarchy is a skull with 10 rays, like a sun, arranged around it, 5 to a side.


The Inquisition is 3 horizontal bars. Skull is optional.


The Adeptus Arbites is an I with a hand holding the scales of justice.


The Adeptus Astronomica is an I with a skull and a sun-burst-like pattern radiating from it.


... and so on and so forth.

Though, in the argument of that particular model, perhaps she was attached to an Inquisitor's retinue (perfectly fitting for her skills and talents) and was granted a Rosette to get access to places she might otherwise not?

Well, the mini was created for 3E - and the only way to field her at all was ... as part of an Inquisitor's retinue.

That she has now switched teams and is part of the Sororitas Command Squad is a bit "unfortunate" in regards to this detail, but creative minds should be able to find some in-character excusereason to justify it. Skilled hands may instead reach for a file and attempt conversion.
If they ever re-design her (ha ha), I would agree that it'd be good to change this insignia.

Mine I did a head swap on, I think it looks better. there is a lot of metal to cut and grind for such a tiny head. I can post pics later, its not painted yet, just primed white

I liked the idea of using the head from the immolator pack, and i'd love to see your head swap. But at some level I'd want to keep it because of how terrible it is. I've seen the thread of worst models, and i still hold that this one is it.

I would miss the amazing weight. Holding a metal SoB between your fingers actually makes you feel something.

That is certainly true, and your case of minis for the evening game also weighs a bit compared to having plain plastic in it. St Celestine, 70 SoB, four Rhinos/Immolators and two Exorcists - that's something to hit people over the head with. ;-)

It's a bit weighty. Try transporting an Apocalypse sized Sisters' army. 5 Exorcists, 200 sisters with various guns, 20 seraphim, St Celestine, a Canoness, various priests, 3 Pentinent Engines, 12 rhino/Immolators, 2 aegis defense lines, a bastion, acustom Stormlord, and 2 Repressors plus your 'supplementary' Imperial guard with a bunch of infantry, and a dozen tanks of various manufacture. In addition to the extra arms needed I get a bit of workout transporting it all.

I agree with it feeling good to move metals around (and the exercise I'm sure most of us need) but metal models where the weapon isn't perfectly alligned with its center of mass have a way of toppling over constantly, and in a unit of metals it'll manage to tangle itself with another weapon and in a unit of plastics it manages to pull down every other model in the unit, no matter how much you space them out.

What's worse is that they repeat that model's image in a lot of Dialogus artwork, too. It's fething terrible.

Not even close to done, but its amazing(to me) what a improvement it is for a small swap. well here is mine

What's a Khorne Mower?

Is it related to the Slaanesh Thresher? I thought the Slaanesh Thresher harvested Khorne?

Hahahahaha. Thank you so much. This made my night. Laughing out loud to myself.
