THE SISTERS OF THE EMPEROR’S MERCY

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…

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

I am perhaps half way done.

Well, it’s been a while…

Finished the Castigator as a paint scheme test. I figured its more complicated than a Rhino or an Immolator, but not nearly as bad as an Exorcist – and I have three of those old-school things to paint!

I am actually liking it.

Well, trying to make these warsuits more dynamic.  Just a bit…

Still more to do with this one, but you get where I’m going.

Working on some Paragon Warsuits.  Hated the static posses.  Tried to make them a bit more dynamic…

It’s been a while.

I completed all my heavy weapons, so I consider that progress.

I also built a gaming table, which I will show more of soon.

I’ve got a load of heavy weapon to do:

5 Multimeltas

4 Heavy Flamers

3 Heavy Bolters

Well, updating the heavy weapons teams.  Laying down some white as a base for the Red Gore that I use as the base of the cloaks and what-not.

In addition, I have prepped the legs of the Paragon Warsuits to be cut up into something more dynamic.  Pics coming soon.

Fortunately the GW store is right across the street from the wine store, which is not far from the cat food store, and a Starbucks….

These Mortifiers don’t have all the purity seals that the penitent engine had, but they do have a bunch of filigree, which I am thinking I need to trim in brass.  So, apparently GW decided that Brazen Brass should no longer exist.  This is a trim color that I have used in three of my armies!  The so-called replacement is not even close.  Nor is the supposed equivalent with any of the other manufacturers.  I am now trying to mix something that is somehow close…

I am using equal parts GW Runelord Brass, Brass Scorpion, and Sycorax Bronze.  It comes close…

This was a pretty enjoyable mini to do.  I know some people hate this model, but I liked it.  The only pain is all of the purity seals.  For the final weathering I really wanted to grime it up, so I used some Secret Weapon Sewer Water and Algae to give it that final bit of grunge.

Next I think I will move on to the other two walkers – Mortifiers I guess they’re called.  Should be easy enough using the same techniques.

Next up is an old school penitent engine.  I want to make this grimy and rusty as befits an instrument of torture.

This is a mix of old metal and new plastic.  I particularly like the metal Imagifier.  I think that was a model released with a previous edition, but not one of the original metal models.

Gerry hooked me up with some conversion charts for old GW paint matching!

Red Gore and Scab Red.  I love these colors.  Nothing GW currently makes come close to replicating these colors.  I now find myself rationing out my small stock of pots of this that I have horded to paint my sisters army.

Does anyone know of any options for new sources for these classic colors?

So, I’ve been away from this project for a bit.  Mostly because my attempt at doing a vehicle failed horribly.  I am not even going to post it – a huge embarrassment!

Then, I got distracted by Dropfleet.  I spent lots of time building ships from their excellent Colonizer sets.  So much fun!!!

Now I’m back to the Sisters, and I think I just need to do a basic squad to get me back in the game…

I think I need to mix it up at this point and try a vehicle.  I’m thinking I’ll start with one of my basic, old school Mad Max rhinos…

My first squad of Seraphim done.  The hardest part was the bases.  Even though they are weighted, they are still very teetery!

Nearly done with these.   The bases are going to take a bit more work…
