Last week I didn't do a lot of painting. I got several kits that I wanted to assemble before I continue down the painting road. Since I didn't have anything new finished I didn't post anything. It has been a while though so I thought I would post an update so you all know I am not dead.
First off before I could build any of the new sisters I needed to create the bases I use for them. I did this the first time with green stuff but i is expensive. I am trying a Sculpty on this next batch. So far they are took the print fine and seem to take paint as well. I will hold my judgement until I completely paint the model and compare them next to my original few.
With the bases ready, I started building models. First up was a box of Retributors. I built two Multi-Meltas, a Heavy Flamer, a Heavy Bolter and a Superior. I took one of the Heavy Bolters and used one of the bodies from a Battle Sister box to make a second Heavy Bolter. I have a second box of Retributors waiting to be built. I think I will do the same combination so in the end, I will have four Multi-Meltas, four Heavy Bolters and three Heavy Flamers. I built the extra Bolter and flamer from the Battle Sister box itself.
Speaking of the Battle Sister box, I was able to make the mentioned three heavy weapons as well as two Meltas and two Flamers, a superior, in icon bearer. I have one last sister to build. I think I might make another Melta, Flamer or Superior.
Lastly, I built the Triumph of Saint Kathrine. It is a cool kit. I kept the sisters off the base to make painting easier. While the model went together decently, the cherubs are a pain in the butt to glue together. I am hoping that in the next few weeks, I will make some progress on painting this lovely model.
That is all I have for the time being. I still have the second Retributors, an Exorcist, and a Hospitaller to assemble. Then, I can start painting them all. This is going to take a while.
