How's that uhhh... How's that heavy stealth suit going, Sara?

You uhhh.......... You still working on it?

Making progress?

Okay I know I said I wasn't going to paint but that doesn't mean I'm not going to print and assemble! I got 10 Warrior Sisters put together last night, 8 with battle rifles and 2 with flamers. I'll still want a few extras for special units like an extra medic, and a few who have the Precision Target special rule but this is a great start to the general populace of Warriors.

SPEAKING OF Precision Target... In OPR, it's a once-per-game ability, to mark an enemy unit, and everyone gets +1 to hit rolls when targeting that unit afterwards. So, I was thinking about tokens for it. The token would stay with the unit, and once expended, move from the unit (who can't use it anymore) and to the target (which is now marked)... Then, Maker's Cult came out with a brand new unit for the Daughters of War - DRONES!

On the desk, I have :

6 Celestial Sisters w/ Fusion Rifles (I think these are more Retributors? I'm not sure, I don't play 40k but "fusion" = "melta")

2 more Exo-Suits that are 80% done (Paragons)

A Medic

2 Inferno Tanks (Immolators) that I'm VERY excited about and have some great plans for!

Then, for my husband's DAO Union / T'au Empire dudes :

3 Battle Suits

1 Battle Suit Elite

1 Heavy Battle Suit / Heavy Stealth Suit (could really be either) w/ decorative base

I'll probably actually pivot to the DAO Union mechs when I come back next week. The white armor is already done, complete with oil washes, so the rest should be pretty quick. Once I get those knocked out I'll have a clearer conscience that I'm not neglecting my husband in lieu of my own selfish desires.

I'll admit, I wasn't super confident when I primed these models white, and then hit them with a coat of Apothecary White Contrast paint. I've been doing the "prime black, zenithal up to white" undercoat for so long, that priming white felt like a huge mistake, especially given the sort of grimdark bases I put them on. I'm PLEASANTLY surprised, especially with how the Apothecary White performed here. It was a super easy step to get 80% of the armor done, only requiring a few taps of a brush to bring the highlights back up to white on each model. Some quick Basilicanum Grey, and some red and silver detailing, and these models were basically done! They printed like a dream, and were super fun to build AND paint. I'm truly looking forward to more of this army.

I'm overall pretty happy with this one. It's a little more slapdash than normal, because I'm not wanting to spend a ton of time on making these beautiful show pieces. I'm working to get my models done fast, but still look decent, using the tools I have available and limited palate. I feel I achieved that goal nicely! Shout out to the Goblin Hobbies stamping plates for the cool icons - the Shield icon I've decided is the unit marking for this detachment of Sisters (I haven't decided on a name yet) as well as the "Anvil" symbol marking this as an Exo-Suit armor unit.

The middle model is my test model. The others are ones I painted last night. Do ya'll see the problem?
