Hello folks.
I am about to start a new army of Witch Hunters.
But as I look through the codex and the models, I cant seem to find any Celestian models.
Is it so, that you use some Battle Sisters and a special charachter unit to make out the Celestian Squad, or how to you get hold of such models?

I defined my celestians by both paint scheme, and by only using the Helmeted Sisters..

My thought is.. bare headed sisters in the troop squads.. those that survive for a couple dozen years figure out that helmets help with the surviving! Upon that realiziation, they get promoted to Celestian status and are ceremonially given a helmet.

Celestians use regular Soritas models. Much like IG veterans squads can use the same rank and file models as regular infantry platoons.

I painted my Celestines with white hair to differenciate them from normal Sisters.

I gave them gold trim on their cloaks and painted their visors white. I love Celestians. Five of them in a immolater with two meltas, simulacrum imperialis and a cannoness. It's so good I'm thinking about scrapping my Seraphim and doubling up on the HQs.

ok basically you take some battle sisters and paint differently.
Thank you all for the reply, now I know that this is an army I will start.

I put extra purity seals, extra robes, and better painting on my celestians.

I learned the purity seals and robes from one of dakka's tutorials. I've used them a TON since.

Good Luck with your new army! Don't forget to post pictures when you get them painted up.
