Took the day off as I wasn't feeling super well and slept poorly. Painted Junith, instead! This was another second-hand model that had some issues that had to be repaired. It's also missing the voxcaster bit. Really happy with her robes!

Follow-up to yesterday's post. Second-hand Paragon Warsuits now join Vahl. Very pleased with the turnout, and I'm excited to get to bring them to the table. Melta heat effect is in oils, still wet!

Presenting Morvenn Vahl, Abbess of the Adepta Sororitas! Super happy with the results here. This was a second-hand model that came with a default sisters helmet that I swapped out for a Jump Canoness head. Now, onto the Warsuits!

Immolating the hiveworld. Immolating the xenos. Immolating all the heretics, and their filthy artifacts!

Finished Immolator, ready to do battle! Decently pleased with the finish product, though I'd redo some things.

Completed the Daemonifuge tonight with Ephrael Stern. I'm super happy with how she turned out, though I must confess, I ran into a ton of roadblocks along the way. Second photo includes Kyganil.

I also knocked out some gaming pieces from the folks at PlayOnTabletop: some wound dials and battle shock tokens. Nothing fancy, just painted well enough to look good on the table.

I assembled and primed an Immolator a couple of days ago. Haven't started painting the main model, but I went ahead and knocked out the focal piece, the stained glass! Painstaking is an understatement!

Completed Kyganil in one sitting tonight. He was interesting, but laborious! And he's a great opportunity to freehand, as well as practice gems and faces. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Canoness with Jump Pack finished!

Switched the purples from my discontinued Reapers to Army Painter, and I really can't tell much of a difference (exactly what I wanted).

Finished the Zephyrim and the Retributor Superior. Glad to have these off the bench, as the Zephyrim in particular have been staring me down for quite some time, partially-finished. The army grows!

#adeptasororitas #wh40k #sistersofbattle #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #40k

First 5 Zephyrim, fully painted in purples, silver, and bronze. They each hold blue power swords. The models are based on resin stone bases with Magnet Baron flight stands.

Another WIP post. Lots of different stuff worked on. Got a bunch of bases prepped, did some detail work on a Retributor Superior kitbash, and did 11 power swords.

Power swords this small are hard.

#adeptasororitas #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #WH40K #40K #warhammer40K #warhammer

WIP bases and Sisters of Battle models, totally 10 Zephyrim and a kitbashed Retributor Superior. Models are in shades featuring primarily purple, silver, and bronze, with blue power swords.

Esper Y'shtola, probably. Though I really love a lot of EOE cards.

I've also kitbashed a Retributor Superior for the second-hand squad I've already painted, with plasma pistol and power sword. Also, Agathae Dolan!

Back into the saddle after several months off. My wrist seems to be tolerating a few hours of painting. Got some models primed and started getting some paint down. Here's a Palatine, for starts, all WIP. #adeptasororitas #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #WH40K #40K #warhammer40K #warhammer
