THE SISTERS OF THE EMPEROR’S MERCY

Working on rhinos and immolators.  Old school obviously.  Got the base coats down.  It’s all coming together.

My goal is to finish The Sisters of The Emperors Mercy in 2025!

So, I have finished my first Exorcist.

It was somewhat difficult, mostly because of all the purity seals.  There is a metric ton of them on this model.

The main thing that put me off on painting this model was the fact that it was difficult to put together.  Anyone has ever built the old school model will know how difficult it is with the metal organ pipes.  I filed these down and slathered on massive amounts of superglue.  What ever formula of superglue they used back in 2003, that shit is solid.  I was afraid it would far apart while I was trying to paint it.  That did not happen.  That superglue they used back in the day – rock solid!

Two more to go!

So, now that I have one done, I think I will try to bust out the other two together.

That might make it go faster.  My goal will be to have all my Exorcists done by the end of the year.

Well, didn’t get these done by the end of the year, but some progress was made…

Characters

More things!

More Seraphim, because you cannot have enough!

Nope, just because I have them…

Zephyrim

Got the main colors blocked out.

These have primarily power weapons, which separates them from the Seraphim.

I did the exhaust wings white to further distinguish them from the Seraphim, whose exhaust wings were done in brass.

So, I have seen several of these on the interwebs.  Most of them are just Knights with Adepta Sororitas transfers or icons.

My plan is to do a heavily converted Adepta Sororitas Knight.

Why?  Well, I have a Knight laying about the place with no plan for it.  And Adepta Sororitas has been my focus for the last year or two.

Therefore, an Adepta Sororitas Knight may well be appearing here at some point in the near future…

A rocket organ on top!  Seems a good place to start…

Modeling the unfortunate Chaos Dread that got Spartan-kicked by the Sisters Knight.  Bass guitar string is great for cables.

Finished the sculpting on the chaos dread.  I couldn’t find the shoulder of his close combat arm.  I generally keep my shiznit fairly organized, as you can see, but I just could not find it anywhere.  So I cobbled together an arm from a plastic dread and the old-school chaos close combat arm.

With the addition of more bass guitar string cabling, I think it all came together pretty well.

So what Traitor Legion should I paint this dread up as?  No red because I want it to contrast with my sisters.  Alpha Legion I am thinking, no wait, yellow!  Who is yellow?  Nobody, but maybe Deathguard… Bile green might be a good contrast…

So, this was supposed to be a Spring Cleaning Challenge.  Lost the bits for it.  Finally found them like four weeks later.  Not going to make it as part of the challenge, but I can now proceed with getting this project done.

In case anyone was thinking I was getting close to being done with this…

I am perhaps half way done.
