I was lucky
enough to nab a pre-order for the Sisters Of Battle army deal before
the GW website collapsed under the weight of demand. It is a thing of
beauty, I am not going to lie. I have been waiting for this army for
so long and now its arrived I feel a real desire to do these models
justice.
This, of
course, means painting the things.
Now, like
many a hobbyist I have a backlog of epic proportions. Nearly two
decades of wargaming has left me with a rather large cupboard filled
with sprues; unpainted and half-painted models; and, eBay bargains
eagerly awaiting the acid bath treatment. I am terrible for flitting
between projects and abandoning things halfway through.
So here's
the idea: until I finish the Army Deal models I don't buy any new
models.
Now, I know
how my brain works and I thoroughly intend to paint other models in
this time since that means I won't get bored (probably) and some
small fraction of the backlog will be addressed. Once the Army Deal
models are done and I buy another box set then the process starts
over again: no new models until that box is painted up.
As I write
this I have the Canoness and the Battle Sister Squad built with the
Leadbelcher spray standing by. As you've probably guessed from that
basecoat tease I'll be painting them as the Order Of The Argent
Shroud. I'm not bowled over by their faction rules, if I'm perfectly
honest, but the shining silver armour looks both amazing and
relatively easy to achieve.
(That having
been said I have only flicked through the Codex so I might be
completely off-base about the faction benefits.)
