13. A Road To Glory: Sisters of Battle part 4. Anti-Chirst Air. 1,500pts Built.

Yeah, that is a skateboarding reference. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Air

  In my last ARTG update I posted my sister list and the models that make up that list.
Currently they are in the paint stripper bath... due to a bad batch of white spray some of the details were a bit...blurred?
That and the mold lines were terrible... As much as I want a gaming force up and running, my new hobby ethos simply wont allow that kind of sloppiness.


In the meantime, I have been working on my Aegis Defence line.
I wanted to make it more fitting with the army's aesthetic without going over the top.
There isn't much you can add to the walls, so I just stuck on a couple of Adeptus ministorum icons and other sister iconography;


Enjoy the reems of pictures with very few words...

And now for some more words.

The Aegis defence lines Quad auto cannon is... well. Rubbish.
I really think it is very lack lustre in appearance. However, the kit itself is extremely versatile.
If you've ever seen the sprue you'll understand. The base is the same size as a turret base, essentially making it able to swap around with other turrets from other tanks.
You can see where this is going right?

  All I've done here is magnetise the ADL's auto cannons to the Sisters of Battle's repressor turret weapon mount.
I've then glues the ADL's weapon mount to the back to make it look a bit more substantial (And AA gun firing solid slug weapons would need some form of stabilisation after all).
All I need to do now is glue on a SOB head and the arms  and she'll be ready to paint.


YUP! Take that Air unit spam.
I say that.... but in all seriousness, I'm not entirely confident that a single ADL will solve my aircraft issues.
But I have no other options (without taking allies), so, it will have to do!

In a bizzle
