That's a gorgeous model and the paint job is very crisp and clean, white is hard to make look nice imo but you nailed it. The scheme also brings home a bit of Canadian pride I had to check if you weren't a Canadian yourself lol. Looks great, I'd love to see a flyer like that across the table from me anyday.

Nice model. But when you said "ready for Vegas," the first image in my head was a blinged-out Avenger with flashing neon lights and possibly a sign advertising slots and all-you-can -eat buffet....

I was in my LGS picking up the new Harlequin WD and saw they had direct ordered a Culexus Assassin. That's he only one I don't own and I love how well it fits in with a sisters force so I grabbed it.
Oh your Revenant Titan has invisibility cast on it? Well my Culexus just got within 12" so no more invisibility for you. Followed by melta to the face!
SisterSydney wrote: Curious: Why no Seraphim in higher-points games? Is it that there's so much stuff in the enemy's backfield at 2,000 points that it'd be suicide to Deep Strike in there? Or that there's so much long-range anti-personnel fire that infantry without an armored transport are toast? Or something else?
I've seen the first reason most of the time. Back in 6th when the reserves roll got better, arriving Turn 3 or 4 was okay.
Nowdays, Seraphim arriving on Turn 2 either have to hide in your field (pointless) or survive any interceptors and would only dream of a second Turn on the field

I also thought this.
But then i saw the nice model. I like the FW model so much... Had any trouble with the resin? Mine was a little curved in on the body...

You know, if they do come out with plastic sisters that would be a cool project for a second army. Hum, I'll have to keep that in mind for a project, even if just a small one.

She also only ever appears on that card and in a book about that card game. >> Gods, but I Hate that company for giving the Sisters-haters that particular piece of ammunition. Especially those stuck-up Grey Knights who not only insist that she's proof that Sisters are falling left right and centre, but ignore Alaric.
sigh. Sometimes I wish I didn't love my Sisters so much. The general level of bile levelled at the army is really bad for my cholesterol.
That said, the Sisters models do look good converted, and no, I'm not a hypocrite - my conversions are for a Chaos Cult with stolen armour.

I am surprised how well the Penitent Engines have fared so far... With the Bastion forward and MSU immos. Having the PE at 6" coherency in the middle has drawn very little attention and usually allows for a Turn 2-3 Charge at full strength (Glancing hit or 2)

I figured i'd start posting army pics in the gallery. Recent project was to fix up an Avenger Strike Fighter. I think this one turned out all right, but I have a second one on my table that I put a lot more time cleaning up. The cast on these.... well, they need a lot of repair.
Still need to work on the pilot, seats and the heavy stubber. I'll get there eventually.
Anyone know a good way of keeping the windows on without gluing it on? Still working on that bit.

The problem with Chaos Sisters is that I see too many Slaanesh Sisters. It's low-hanging fruit: "Hurr durr, let's make Sisters all sexualized and perverted." What would be more interesting and a deeper fall into ruin would be Tzeentch Sisters as you mentioned. Sorceror Sisters are far more appealing to me than lowest-common-denominator Sex Sisters. Witchhunters turned witches.

Mine is central on its base, and it tends to tumble forwards.
The picture makes it look so much more fall-prone, or did you weigh it?
Plus, do not forget to mould/use Immolator turret Sisters as pilots

Good point, I like. But part of me wants to do/see sisters as a 80's metal band noise marines. Big hair, leather, spikes, maybe some cultist with 'staff' on their shirts.

Aha, here's your secret. The other player must be too busy trying to erase this model from the table in a soul-sucking-void-induced panic to pay attention to your Penitent Engines.
(But more seriously, what does she do for your army? Without a Relic, isn't she just a BS3 bolt pistol?)

It would be funny if she had some sort of scream attack.
Either way, I finished up Volume 6 of the Saga of Sister Kathryn. I even tested out that Flesh Tearers drop pod idea that you guys had.
A 1500 point game sees the the Order of the Desert Rose making an emergency drop to secure the royal palace and the governess from the first tendrils of an approaching Hive fleet.
One of the main characters makes her final stand....

Hey, don't sell her short - she's BS4 and has a Laud Hailer!

Spoiler:
I subscribed to your channel, CS. I enjoy the narrative monologues. This episode was a bit disappointing, tho. Unpainted terrain and models just aren't a whole lot of fun to watch :( I know you mentioned that you stripped your Sisters, so I'm looking forward to the new paint scheme.
I'm slowly getting them painted purple. I recorded two at a teim so the next one will be pretty much the same. After that though I should have a squad or three painted.

Yeah, although you can't see her inside the bastion so scare tactics fail a bit.
More seriously though: Provides Laud Hailer for Retributors on the roof, who Act of Faith twice, usually early on when you really want that Flyer to go down with Rending Quad Gun, or 12HB shot+Snap Shooting Quad needs to rip apart that big 10-20 MEQ Unit causing trouble nearby...
Also acts as a Laud hailer Bastion, if any other MSU are nearby - Don't forget the Bastion is creating a 12" Bubble from the walls.
She's basically 15pts to get a Laud Hailer for the bastion. Oh and she can fire the emplaced HB at her BS 4, so she's also "equipped" with a Heavy Bolter

Tough break on opponents Celtic, you're right with the comment "probably not the best list to try out the drop pod list". Still, interesting how it went.
BTW. Thanks for putting the work into those, i've been enjoying watching the exploits of Sister Kathryn. She shall be remembered long after she is martyred.
I mean sure, she has to run from side to side with the hailer and reach at the controls every time... but she's used to that from all the Administorum Work
