I lied when I said there would be no more Orks painted in 2013. I've been kicking the can of an idea around for a while.
My next army is going to be Sisters of Battle. I have a lot of models ready to go for 2014. Here's the collection so far...
That's a lot of ladies with Bolters and Immolators. There are, in fact twelve Immolators. One of them is a complete disaster area and completely unsalvageable for a nice-looking Adepta Sororitas army. How is that relevant to this discussion? I'm sure you can guess, but more on that later.
Now, the impetus for this army is many-fold. I love bolters. I love the Sisters' aesthetic. I even like how the Mech MSU of Sisters plays because of its nuances and how it ties in a lot of calculated sacrificial gambits. It's really interesting.
However, the army is expensive and really a pain to paint, so I've been looking for a scapegoat. I found one in Pez from the Independent Characters forums. He has a gorgeous Sisters of Battle army for the Hobby Progress Challenge.
It is a gorgeous army that I have been absolutely floored by at every step of the way. For this reason, I have blamed Pez for my upcoming Adepta Sororitas project. He is a poop head for getting me wanting to collect, build, and paint such a high-difficulty army. Pez, you are a poop! Like from a butt!
When I made these claims on the internets, a poster insinuated that I was probably just going to loot the Immolators anyways and fill them with Orks painted in drag.
Challenge accepted.
Mad Doc has gotten a little sick of Sisters of Battle with their Melta and Flamers which are just bad news for Orks, so he has ordered a crack squad of Kommandos to infiltrate the Sisters' inner circles and take care of business!
Not terrible for 9 hours of konversions and painting. Pretty pleased.
I hope y'all like these guys. They were a really quick job I threw together all day today and had great fun doing them. I'm really glad I was able to sneak in this last Ork unit before I spend the next month or so on commissions.

I really love the Looted Immolator's Skorcha. It is a Flamestorm Cannon with a piece of a Stormraven landing gear glued to the tip. It's pretty rad.
Sista Bea Arrthur... seems legit!
