No I am not talking that terrible movie of the above name, but the remaining Sisters of Battle models that I had left over from my Twisted Sister project, as I am trying to reduce my bits box collection rather than add to it, I thought I could add them as a small unit to go with the Inquisitor I have to check out my Space Marines, as I thought they would probably send a lot of different elements. The first thing was to choose an order for them, not wanting to go for any of the main ones, I had a quick search on Google, and found the Order of the Thorn, as seen below.
As I haven't bought a GW army book in many years I had no idea about them, but liked the color scheme, below are the four sisters and the cherub that came in the box.
No conversions on the above, just straight from the box, once these were finished I looked at the standard bearer bits, and thought I'd make a couple of shrines as gaming markers.
While I was searching the bits boxes I found a couple of Raging Heroes models that would fit with Sisters of Battle, so painted them up in the same color scheme, the one on the left was converted using some spares from the GW box set, to tie it in more, the one on the right is standard.
While I was routing through the bits boxes I also found the original Rogue Trader Assassin model, so painted that up as well, went for a black ninja color scheme, as the footwear and hood suggested a resemblance, I also darkened down any metal areas to reduce shine.
So why am I not finishing my Star Wars squads at the moment, well I'm saving them for Keith's Forced March painting challenge, where it's all about painting squads during March, this is not to be confused with imperial rebel ork and Wudughasts challenge of the same name where they are trying to paint Imperial Guard armies by the end of March. If Keith's blog has closed on comments, let me know in the comments, and I'll email your details across for you.
That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Good stuff, Dave, with plenty of inspirational figures. Using the shrines as gaming markers is a great idea, as was your decision to fold those Raging Heroes figures into your SoB too. The OOP RT Assassin wins the day for me though. Such an awesome sculpt, imho, and your palette suits him down to the ground. Good stuff, and hopefully I'll be joining you for Keith's Forced March.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, trying to empty my bits boxes as much as possible, so gaming markers is a good way of using up some of the bits, had completely forgotten about the Raging Heroes models, so was good to get a couple out of the pile ! LOL When I was looking for this model couldn't find it, as this time I wasn't looking for it, I found it again, so was good to get it finished, I see GW have made a new version of it for Horus Heresy, along with a couple of different Clade's. Should be a good challenge to clear some units, hopefully.
