Thanks Camkierhi and Inevitable_Faith,

Here is where I am at now. Still a work in progress.

Lots still to do.

Will you be picking up any of the 'new' Sisters?

**Meer_Cat**

Very nice work Doc- high standard already and I know from your other work you aren't half-started!

**kestral**

Looking good! Classic, dare I say. : )

Looking good, just been working on one of these myself.

**Captain Brown**

Thank you Briancj, Meer_Cat, kestral and LavuranGuard

Entering her into the monthly painting challenge under the "Weird Science" theme. And the Exorcist is a bit on the weird side...especially the D6 damage.

PS: 200 pictures in the log now.

Wow, I just saw the full army pictures on the last page. Your combination of output and quality are truly impressive. That may be the biggest fully-painted Sisters army I have seen. You must have a good system. Good job on getting such a large project done to a high standard. Hobby goals, right here.

**Max Moray**

Lovely Exorcist!

**Tyranid Horde**

Great looking Exorcist, all ready for the new sisters?

**Camkierhi**

Beautiful. Really classic look. Love it.

**Briancj**

I like how, gazing over 3000+ points of Sisters, the first question appears to be "So, are ya gonna buy MORE?"

--B.

**Meer_Cat**

Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess!

**Dysartes**

Great work on the Exorcist, Captain - I'm in the middle of de-painting some SoB infantry at the moment, so mebbe I'll get a squad sone before the plastics come out

**Ezki**

Very well done sir!

**Bellerophon**

Very nice work Captain - I particularly like the blue-tinted white you've used on the angel reliefs/carvings, it's very effective.

Another grand addition to a very cool army.

**Inevitable_Faith**

While the exorcist is my least favourite model of the SoB line I do like what you did here, the white with blue tinge is great and the organ looks sufficiently aged. Great work.

**Captain Brown**

Thank you Max Moray, Tyranid Horde, Camkierhi, Meer_Cat, Ezk, Bellerophon, Dysartes and Inevitable_Faith,

I have entered her in this month's Unofficial Painting Challenge [June], but you have to see some of the other entries.

Thank you The Riddle of Steel. Just a long time of slowly adding another painted model or squad here and there.

I have five tanks that I can paint to replace the Mark Is and I was going to pick up the Warhammer Day Sister (although every one at my local GW shop were spoken for when I visited it this morning). Really was not planning on any more unless I can get some Sister doors/hatches to convert SM Rhinos into SoB ones.

**Briancj**

I got to WH Day, and there was a LINE. It was quite surprising.

My personal opinion is that you have PLENTY of Sisters, and don't need to buy more. I mean, really.

--B.

**Captain Brown**

Thanks Briancj,

So for this month's painting competition I will be entering a Sisters of Battle Repressor. It is officially a Suppressor conversion kit built by Rivet Zone Enterprises that I decided I would try out. Now like the Exorcist I have some push to get it painted.

When finished it will be my second Mark II tank.

Rivet Zone? MY GOD, why would you trust such a supplier!? ***

The Repressor is looking great!

--Brian

*** I know Sam, he lives two towns over from me.

He does do a nice job with the resin.

Some progress:

New tank is looking very nice. There is just something so striking and so pleasing about crisp black, white and bright red together! I think it is going to look great when finished.

-Rids

**squall018**

Very clean looking colors. Coming out sharp!

**Captain Brown**

Thank you The Riddle of Steel and squall018,

More work in progress:

The tank seems a little bland when I compare it to the Exorcist...she needs some bling. I think it is time to start making some red wax seals over scripture. That large red batch is crying out for something.

**oldravenman3025**

Outstanding work. You definitely have the knack.

I'll have to take a look at Rivet Zone at some point. I'm getting the urge to build an Arbites Repressor or two for some serious "community-based policing".

**Captain Brown**

Thanks oldravenman3025,

Rivet Zone was very easy to deal with and recommended.

As noted I required some bling to make my Repressor stand out.

So I began with some putty and made purity seals.

On plastic, so they could be easily removed once dry.

Then placed on a popsicle stick and painted.

Then the scriptures were added, painted and inscribed.

The Exorcist had so many, so I figured the Repressor would have some as well.

**Meer_Cat**

It used to be that the dollhouse makers and model railroaders were the micro-miniaturists to look to, now it's guys like you and Ezki. Wonderfully done, these seals and ribbons!

**Captain Brown**

Thanks Meer_Cat,

Now while I normally try to stick to one model before I move on to the next, because I am doing the Repressor for the Unofficial Monthly Painting Competition I decided to add a second tank.

A Rhino that I will convert to a Sister's of Battle one.

Spoiler:

Going to add the top hatch left over from my Exorcist kit and the blank side doors left over from the Rhino kits used for the Repressor.

Spoiler:

The two smooth side doors that I will add some Bretonnian fleur-de-lys transfers to.

Spoiler:

Adding a magnet to make a Hunter Killing Missile addition if desired.

Spoiler:

Barrel drilled Storm Bolter and the top hatch...I used the Razorback base one and just trimmed the Sister top hatch to fit.

The long painting and converting war continues...

**Captain Brown**

So the Repressor/Suppressor is finished

Here she is with seals added (and a few icons as well).

That is great. Really good colour combos,and the red has a lovely depth. I like the little details like the purity seals and the gold storm bolter.
