About the Project
Since the beginning of all things. The Emperor of Mankind has stood as the light in the darkness. We sisters, ordained and consecrated in battle, defend that beacon against all who come against it – Traitors, Heretics, Xenos – we defy them all. And when the time for vengeance comes: We shall bring the Emperor’s Mercy! (The mantra of the Sisters of the Emperor’s Mercy)

Mortifiers
The Mortifiers got a base coat of Warplock Bronze and a heavy drybrush of Leadbelcher. I am plum out of both of those, I guess I got to leave my house - goddammitt!!! 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…
Penitent Engine Completed
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.
Penitent Engine
Next up is an old school penitent engine. I want to make this grimy and rusty as befits an instrument of torture.
This model has a ton of purity seals. I use a fine tip pen to scrible on some text onto the ribbons. 
To give the ribbons a parchment-like look, I use a mix of Secret Weapon parchment and flesh wash.Completed Another Basic Squad
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.
Painting Update
Gerry hooked me up with some conversion charts for old GW paint matching!
Old GW Paint
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?
Back At It
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…
Next
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…
