The Emperor Protects ~ Adepta Sororitas ~ A Sisters of Battle Project

***** SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES *****

Help! I’m running out of Sister related jokes & I need assistance! Yes I was one of the lucky few who managed to pre order the brand spanking new Sisters of Battle Box Set & holy Emperor is this thing beautiful. I set my alarm for the pre order on the GW website & was driving at the time so got my girlfriend who was sat in the passenger seat to order it for me. I remember shouting “You know those babies you want us to have one day? Well that only happens if you GET THIS ORDER”

& now she is pregnant… KIDDING! Instead I have a new child of the bestest kind. ONE MADE OF PLASTIC! YES!

***** IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT BASE *****

Initially I was going to go for a simple effective desert scheme for the basing on my Sisters army but after painting up my test model (See previous post) I just couldn’t get away from the idea of doing an entire army of candle lit temple goodness. So I made a couple of orders from the awesome Unreal Wargaming Studios & Kromlech for these bad boys! Yes I’ve collected more 28mm candles together than there would be to light an Elton John Stadium tour. CANDLES IN THE WIND BABY!

***** WARHAMMER WORLD OPEN DAY *****

I also made the trip up to Nottingham on Saturday for a celebration of all things sisters at Warhammer World. I’ve got say it was an awesome day. My highlight was getting to talk to the designers behind some of the amazing models on show & even touch them in the reals. Holy Emperor that multi part plastic kit that’s coming for the sisters is chock block full with amazing bits & bobs. Can’t wait for them to hit the shelves in January.

There was even a paint & take station set up in the hall giving people a chance to take away one of the new sisters of battle models. A special thanks must go to my friend for parting with his own Sororitas for the benefit of my holy ranks. YES! I’m also going to be honest & say these are both getting resprayed & rebased with the new resin bases too haha. CHEEKY!

Finally did mention I got the Horn…

I’ve been absolutely absorbed with listening to the Isenhorn novels on Audible recently & even got the chance to meet Dan Abnett outside the toilets at the Open Day. I remember saying “I’M NOT SURE WHAT I CAN WHIP OUT & GET YOU TO SIGN RIGHT NOW” like some obnoxious fan boy before he went & did the Emperors tinkle.

To celebrate such a meeting I thought I’d get the amazing model of the man himself (Yes it needs some gaps filling) Who knows he might even join my sisters in the future to cleanse the heretic.

So that’s another update wrapped up. I’m still waiting for my resin bases & candles to arrive before I start covering myself, the house & the dogs with glue. WOOF! In the meantime I’ll be reading this Codex from front to back. Stay tuned for the next one where assembly begins…

MUCH LOVE
