On The Smurf Bench: Sisters Done Minus Backpacks

Just a quick update with the sisters of battle. I have finished the bodies and bases of the three previously shown and I am really happy with them. Unfortunately, despite trying to take good pictures of them for 3 days, I haven't managed to capture the detail. I wish Lauren hadn't taken the good camera with her.

Any way heres the pic:

On the Smurf Bench: Sisters of the Ebon Chalice

There's something a bit different on my work bench at the moment. Yes it's sisters of battle. In my opinion they are some of the best models in existence! They have had my imagination captured since the very first 40k catalogue I picked up some 13 years ago. There's just something inexplicably cool about space nuns. 

Anyway, I wasn't until last year that I actually realised my goal of owning some when I saw a little collection going on ebay for about £12. I got a squad of 5 (including the superior and a flamer) and the sister saint model minus the backpack. I dug them out yesterday and began painting.

I'm not sure if I am really happy with the paint scheme yet. I chose the ebon chalice scheme but replaced the black with a really dark blue. I'm having real trouble blending the white robs up properly. Ahh well, any advice on how to paint white over black would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the pics:
