I love the Order of the Sacred Heart when it comes to Sisters of Battle (I was a huge Dawn of War player back in the day), and in preparation for the new Sisters models once they finally make it to shelves, I'd like to convert up a Living Saint Anais to use as a counts-as Celestine.

It won't be anything too heavy, I'd like to make some moderate conversions using the newer Celestine model as a base. I have run into three separate issues here as far as finding bits for it, however.

1.) Anais has longer hair than Celestine. I need to track down a head with a hairstyle that fits in with the normal Sisters' bob cut, but longer, about mid-back length.

2.) Anais has organic wings. I can't seem to find any infantry-sized model from either GW line with regular old angelic/bird-like wings to replace the mechanical-looking ones on the Celestine model.

3.) Probably the easiest of the three - I need censers to hang from her belt. The ones from the Death Guard line all look too Chaosy to be attached to a Living Saint. The closest I can find to what I'm looking for are the ones hanging from PP's Wracks.

All I am looking for are suggestions as to what bits I could get a hold of to put on the old girl. I'm not super picky as far as manufacturer goes, so long as they don't stand out too far from the GW aesthetic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Only suggestion I have is for the wings were I would go with the ones from;

Though you will have to email Andy to ask if he has any spare at the moment.

Look at drukhari scourage set, got the feather wings and long pony tail hair.

Reaper Bones are your best bet for wings super cheap and light.

As for censers there's loads on the Dark Angel sprues and Plague monks.

Aw, now I feel like a big idiot. I used to play Dark Eldar, and I completely forgot the Scourges existed. One of the wing sets is exactly what I'm looking for! The hair not so much, but that kit was a great recommendation, thanks!

My qualm with the Plague Monk ones is that they feel too Chaosy, like the Death Guard ones. Was there a particular Dark Angels kit you were thinking of? I didn't see any as I scanned through the images on the site, but I could have just missed them...

They're in the company veterans box. A quick glance at the sprue shows at least 4 of various shapes and sizes. Failing that, just get a load of Menoth bits from pp.

I sculpted these wings on my Celestine and one of her bodyguards. the other is about. I have never used the model, as my meta tends to avoid named characters. If you think it fits, I could sculpt the hair you want on Celestine, and perhaps sell them for the right price. If you're interested at all give me a private message on here, I use Ebay.
Below are front and back of Celestine (I have her sword about, I planned to give her a different weapon) and the Geminae I put wings on. I don't claim to be the greatest green stuff guy, but I'm decent.
