"Sisters of Battle Celestians" Topic

More fighters for my impending recreation of the 1997 ‘Battle at Sanctuary 101' have been painted this week.

This time around we have a veteran sister superior and a celestian for my ever expanding Sisters of Battle Force.

I usually mark out my squad leaders, veteran sisters and celestians with gold (as opppsed to silver) weapon casings and shoulder insignia as this makes them stand out from the hordes of other power armoured nuns!

I gave this particular squad leader a power mace as these weapons add 2 to the bearer's strength. This bonus is vital for sisters as it brings their paltry basic strength of 3 up to a far more respectable 5 in melee.

This model's boltgun is relatively old school and comes with a grenade launcher mounted on the underside. For gaming purposes this represents a Condemnor Boltgun in my army.

Again I am pleased with how these girls have come out and I am also satisfied with the speed at which I'm painting up the two respective forces for this ‘historical' refight (which I am really looking forward to!)

Those look great. I look forward to seeing the AAR once you get your game played. It is a lot of fun building up sides for a specific scenario. Horus Heresy really has put a lot of that fun back in 40K for me.

I think I will burn my figures from that era as they are not a patch on those.

These can't come out in plastic soon enough.

Cheers guys! I will make sure to post the AAR! I'm definitely all about the scenarios these days; I love a storyline!

I am really pleased with how these old girls have turned out… though I too can't wait for their plastic reinforcements!!
