Day 40-

Good evening Dakka,

First, I would like to thank that new faces, KalashnikovMarine and allibator, for there welcoming comments. I thank you people for checking in and hope you will enjoy the updates of this project. Evildrcheese, many thanks as usual.

Next, I would like to update everyone on the Engine of Salvation. Today I tried to add more highlights to the greys. I will need to do three coats at least to get the desired effect. I am not used to adding my skills to something so big. I will need a little more time as I modify my technique to where I will be happy with the results.

I had also started to add the base coat of pink to the model to map out where it will shine. I tried to make the pink areas the same areas I would have painted on the smaller sisters. I thinks I will do the wrist armor in pink as well.



Now the project will slow day a little next week because my college classes will begin. This will not affect too much since it seems I work more on my models when I am in mid-semester instead of doing my homework, figures.

I thank you all for the comment and hope to see more new faces post and most definite the long time subscribers, you know who I am talking about… wait! not you, the other guy!

Day 41-

The engine of salvation is turning out nicely. Today I worked on the second and third coat of grey on the armor. You will notice that the shadings are more crisp then yesterday’s picture. I also started with the first coat of highlights for the pink. I will only do two coats of pink since the first came out pretty good today. Finally, I also added the boltgun metallics where they belong.

I will start with the weapon arms tomorrow. As of right now I am trying to find more places to add pink. The size of this model is causing me to think a little more about what areas will the pink pop out more.

Saturday, I will head to Lowes to pick up some materials for the super heavy conversion. I am debating with myself with making all three conversions blend in with one another. This is an options but I may want to stay out of that for now.

Please do not forget, show your support. Comments are welcome, questions are answers, and shots are on me... sometimes..

I will have some more pictures up tonight... right now I am waiting for the Reaper Kickstarter to end

Ooooooo
I have been looking everywhere for an idea to make my own Penitent Engines for my SoB army and I finally found something that can actually work. Such an awesome idea. I'll definitely be using something similar. Keep up the awesome work mate!

Day 42-

I had a productive evening of finishing the Engine of Salvation conversion. I have painted it will all intent of being part of the Sister of Battle army and I will sometime this week great a rule set for this creation of mine.

I have also acquired all of the materials today at Michael’s, Lowes, and Home Depot to create the second of the three conversions of this project. Now I know that I have not done a regular transport yet but I have a long time before this project is over so I think that I am still good with time.

It has been a long evening waiting for the Reaper Kickstarter to end so as of right now… I am going to sleep. Night all..

Please do not forget to show your support of the project. Comments and opinions are valued; Questions will be answered if I am able.

She's alive! She's alive!!

At first I wasn't sold, but your paint job really carries it! Keep it up mate

Day 43- and a Half

Today is the start of the new week and as of right now I have the following items completed:



10 Sisters Repentia w/Mistress
10 Sister of Battle Squad
5 Seraphim Squad
And 1 Engine of Salvation

This is only the begin! I need to stretch out work between Regular units that are found in the rulebook and converted units that I created. The next items that I will do is a Sisters Rhino, an immolator and the oh so heavy Exorcist. Once I have these put together and painted then I will reveal the next conversation.

With the conversion in mind, I want to bring you, the subscribers, into this. The next week I would like you people to vote on what conversion you would like to see done next. Now the kicker is that I am not going to give away any details except for this; do you wish to see the Superheavy or the Flier? I am not going to tell you what I am going to do with ether of them but I what you all to vote.

I am going to start on the Rhino now. Please do not forget to vote, comment, or Ask questions. Every piece of support is welcome….

Speaking of! Prototype_X I was glad to hear that I was about to sway you a bit. I thank you for your comment and I hope you enjoy what the future will have to offer.

I really like what you have done with the Sisters. Keep up the good work. I vote for the flier.

Day 43- part 2

First, I would like to thank WvPopp for being the first vote for my next conversion.

The would be Flyers 1(hey, I am from Philadelphia), Super-Heavy 0

Next, I had been busy for the post few hours getting some of the tanks ready. I had the two immolators build already as well as the Exorcist. Now I have some modeling touch ups to do with on the ones that I had put together previously since I build them in a time before I really cared how my models looked.



I hope to see more people in the voting. Please do not forget to show your support of the project. Comments are opinions are welcomed.

The tanks look cool already, I'm excited to see them painted.

+1 on the flyer too, might motivate me to paint my stormraven

Wonderful project and that PenDread is just incredible. Take the time you need and keep posting!

Some wicked boss work here, bro!

*subscribed

Good Evening Dakka,

first I would like to thank you people for posting and the vote. I will have some updates ether tonight or tomorrow afternoon. This will depend on how far I get.

So far for the voting it is the following
Flier conversion 2 SuperHeavy 0

Don'y forget to vote for which of these will be my next conversion and I will see you all a little later tonight.

Very nice paint scheme, however, not taken by the saw on the dreadknight conversion... Seems to unbalance the model...

I vote flier!

Look forward to seeing more of this excellent work!

I know what you mean about the off balanced issue. The arm ended up shifting down the night I throught that the glue was completely dry. It wasn't as you can so but it still turned out pretty well.

I thank you for your vote. The current tally is now fliers 3 super heavy 0..

Please don't forget to Vote for the next conversion. Comments and questions are welcome.
Night all

Oh Cam again I wanted to thank you for your support and hope that you check in for more of what the future will hold

You are very welcome and please do not take my opinion as a disliking, the model is very creative and well executed.

I will definitely be keeping up with the progress

Cam do not worry, I prefer your opinion. It i am glad.

Now for those of dakka. Last evening i was working on my tanks. I realized how much harder it is to work true light shadowing to a tank. I will need to figure it out it on the fly.

Speaking of Fly it is the flier the is in the lead unless the super heavy start to roll over the Competition

PE looks nice. Good balance of colors

Day 44-

Good Evening Dakka,

After yesterday highlighting the armor in greys, I started to prime the areas that I want pink in white. This is just to lighting the pink so that it is more vibrant.

Today doing lunch at work I started to make up a sketch of what I want the flier to be. Now I know that the flier has not yet won but it is in the lead 3-0.

I hope that you guy participate. I think that it may start some interesting conversations. I want to hear from you people what type of flier you think a Sister of Battle would be in. Once I hear from you people, I will give you hints or maybe even the concept art of my conversion. Here is the hint that I will give you all for today... The conversion of the flier that I am making involvers Stormtalon, Stormraven, and the Valkyrie.

Well that is all that I will give away for today.

Tell me what you people think of the project. Tell me what you kind of flier you think the SOB would bring into battle. Do not forget to vote for what the next conversion is.. Flier or Suprheavy.

The giant PE is looking great, good call about minimising the pink armour as it certainly does pop more that way. Love the way the 'driver' is looking great too.

I want to vote super heavy as I've never seen an SoB flyier, and part of me wants that to be the big reveal finale, but I suspect I'm gonna be out voted.

Sorry for the lack of cmments I've had a few days without serious Dakka action so I'm a litle behind on my subs.

As for the flier design. I think it should include all three elements of the bolter/flamer/melta trinity. Maybe the flamer could be utilised as part of the zoom move, affecting units it moves over? Just a thought.

I guess I'll vote for the flier. I'm trying to think of the recent FW flier that was all 'the church flies these'. Similar to the lightning I think? Bah, interneting and...


http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/AVENGER_STRIKE_FIGHTER.html
"The Avenger is often specifically requested by the Adeptus Sororitas should they require close support in their purgations, "

That's what it was, also for the superheavy I always wanted to try a Stormlord with the fantasy cottage/shrine kit. Never got around to seeing the dimensions but it was in my head when you mentioned doing a superheavy.

Hello again. Yes I'm back at an actual computer now, rather than just on my phone.

The sketch is looking cool, really intrigued to see what you do for the statue of the emperor. Are you gonna kitbash form existing GW stuff, 3rd party or other? make your you leave details of what you se anyway.

The underground blast doors should be sweet to, I take it the blast doors will be sized for infantry and rhino sized tanks? I can't imagine how big they'd need to be to get the Engine of Salvation through.

It seems no one wants to save the flier till last except me? Oh well, I'm sure all of your conversion will be looking awesome considering the quality of the minis so far.

The Emperor statue I am going to greenstuff the hell out of the space marine statue from the terrain set. I have to use all GW or stretch built stuff for Armies on Parade. That means no third party stuff or I am already out of the running.

The underground blast door will be the size to let an exorcist drive out of it. With that being side it is still too short for the Engine of Salvation to enter the bunker however that do not mean that the flier couldn’t have drops the Engine off… ah oh did I say too much… COUGH!

Now just for you all to know that I will have if possible all of the elements of the Sister for my conversion, in saying that I may start to ask around for “Certain Bitz” to trade people out if willing. My conversions are a minimum of $300. Buy and trading for things might be what I will have to do next.

Ah of course, somehow I forgot that this is for a GW comp and thus needs all GW bits etc.

Looks like the flier is going to win the vote, so I might as well ask if you've got an idea of a frame to use? I'm guessing from the hint of the Engine of Salvation getting 'dropped' it might be a Storm Raven chassis?

I will tell you that it is a little of everything.
