I owned and played the Sisters in all editions from the late 1990s on:
1997 - Codex: Sisters of Battle (2nd Edition)
2001 - Chapter Approved 2001
2003 - Codex: Witch Hunters (3rd Edition)
2011 - Codex: Sisters of Battle (5th Edition)
2013 - Codex: Adepta Sororitas (6th Edition)
2017 -Index: Imperium 2 (8th Edition)
2019 - Codex: Adepta Sororitas (8th Edition)

I painted the Sister in the colours of the order of “Our Martyred Lady”.

You can still see my old metal Ebon Chalice Sisters on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/sisters_of_battle.html

The new Sisters of Battles are here. In December 2019 I received the army box and was very curious how the new plastic Sisters looked. I like them.
They are a definite improvement over the original metal minis. But as usual there are some downsides, in this case the serious scale creep!

I fully expected that the new minis are bigger than the old metal ones, but being nearly as big as a Primaris Marine? SIGH!
:(
The new minis gave me also the drive to finish the resin Veridyan mini! A nice but now also a bit too small mini based on the famous John Blanche 1997 cover!

"Veridyan is a notable Canoness of the Order of Our Martyred Lady of the Adepta Sororitas. Canoness Veridyan is a veteran of countless battles, a shining exemplar of purity and dedication. In battle, she is a shining beacon, leading her Order into battle without fear of death or damnation, her blade tearing through those who stand before her with calculated precision. Under her command, the Sisters of Battle have crushed the foes of the Imperium across the galaxy."

A lot more Sister pics are on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/sisters_of_battle.html

Daemonifuge Ephrael Stern
"Ephrael Stern, a Seraphim of the Adepta Sororitas is kept inside the Convent Prioris upon Ophelia VII. She scribbles forbidden knowledge upon the wall of her cell. Inquisitor Silas Hand arrives to investigate, and an unlikely assassin tries to kill her. Why? Because she is the Daemonifuge. Her secret lies upon the planet Parnis.
Meanwhile the shamed Eldar Kyganil tries to rescue the Spirit-stones of his fallen comrades, little knowing that his destiny is intwined with a certain Seraphim..."

Sister Stern is mentioned in the latest Codex and she and Inquisitor Hand both had miniatures and rules as part of the Black Library character series in the early 2000s. I painted her years ago and now retouched her.

Beautiful.

One of the new plastic Repentia, great dynamic pose and a fitting fanatic look!

One of the resin Wargame Exclusive Repentia, great mini IMO but an unfitting sexy look...

**AAN**

One of the new plastic female Flagellants, also a great dynamic pose and a pleasure to paint.

Sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady painted by Ana Polanšćak and me

I gave myself a treat and asked the great Ana Polanšćak (from Gardens of Hecate) to paint some new Sisters of Battle for me. After receiving the minis I was in AWE! Ana has a very unique way of giving the minis a very dark and moody look, IMO perfect for Sisters of Battle. I am planning to do a whole Sisters army together with her.

These look phenomenal! I think they're the best renditions of these minis I've seen yet. Kudos!

A very high standard.Excellent

Great painting as usual, Agis ! I hadn`t realised HOW big the new sisters have become. The Emperor`s cereal must be made of strong stuff...

A Rhino for my new Sister of Battle army. To be honest, I love the new plastic Sister (OK, a bit too big), but the new vehicles are way over the top for me.
Especially the new Immolator and Exorcist are too spangly. Consequently I will use a mixture of older kits with parts of the new versions.

I took extra pains to get the trademark dotted look of Ana’s minis for the vehicle. Works well together IMO!

And - old model, new pic!

The Immolator Mk I for my Command Squad. Extra care was taken to make this vehicle stand out.
Extra Armour made from Plasticard, Sandbag from a Tamiya kit, hand painted Ebon Chalice symbol on front armour and some nice and clean painting.
The basic Immolator kit is actually from my 1997 2nd edition Sister army box, painted in 2002 for my 2003 GT army!

My Sisters of Battle got reenforced. Again I convinced the great Ana Polanšćak (from Gardens of Hecate) to paint some Sisters for me.
This time Celestine the Living Saint, the cover Sisters and the Triumph of Saint Katherine

I provided Ana some suitable basing material to make Celestine the Living Saint more to my liking, so no 4m long seals...

The Cover girls of the Sisters... ;9
Tariana Palos is a Sister of the Adepta Sororitas' Order of Our Martyred Lady. Tariana Palos' miniature is based off the piece of Anna Steinbauer artwork, that graced the cover of the Codex: Adepta Sororitas (6th Edition).

Battle Sister squads are each led by a Sister Superior, such as Amalia Novena, who is a member of the Order of the Martyred Lady. Based on the iconic Sisters of Battle artwork by Karl Kopinski, and clad in the classic power armour associated with the Adepta Sororitas, Sister Amalia is armed with a Godwyn-De'az pattern bolter. She is posed as if on sentry duty and is supplied with a scenic base representing the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII, which includes the icon of the Order of Our Martyred Lady in the centre of the base.

The great Ana painted some more Sisters for me.
This time a full squad (or Kill Team) of Novitiate!
As always I added some decals and finishing touches.

Wow! Love it! They're much more grim dark than a lot of sisters I see out there. Also it's refreshing to see Celestine portrayed this way too, rather than super gold and shiny.

**XvArcanevX**

These models are just brilliant! The paint jobs look super crisp to me and they all have such great character! Awesome

**Adeptekon**

Going to keep tabs on his auctions.
