Adepta Sororitas Canoness

My partner does play miniature games with us. She even likes having her own force. She can't be bothered to paint anything and very rarely buys anything - usually only when I say "well, if you want your own, I'll paint if for you, if you buy it..." I painted up some Tau for her to use in our Shadow War Armageddon Campaign, but their performance was underwhelming. Someone had left a comment somewhere (I think it was Stu Rat...?) suggesting I get her and army that more reflects her true nature like Bloodletters of Khorne or Blood Angels Death Company... Which made her laugh... and laugh... and laugh...

It was a little disturbing, really...

When she was done with all the diabolical laughter she did mention maybe it might be fun if she had her own 40K force since it seemed like we were all playing that a lot - or at least PLANNING to play it a lot (and buying and painting stuff for it!). So I went over some of the options; Khorne and Blood Angels as had been suggested, as well as Space Wolves (which she had previously shown an interest in), and then I showed her the Adeptus Sororitas... 

She said she wasn't interested in getting any right now - she is still paying off a kitchen (and is probably waiting to see if the kids and I actually DO end up playing with all the toys we've been buying and painting lately) - but MAYBE sometime, she might be interested in picking up a few of those Battle Sisters... 

Well, her birthday is coming up later this month, so I convinced the kids to split on a Adeptus Sororitas Canoness and a Battle Sisters Squad with me and I am planning to paint up for her for her birthday present from all of us.

Now you might be wondering; "But Tim, if this is a birthday present, isn't it supposed to be a SECRET!?" It is supposed to be a secret. But Amanda never, ever reads this blog, so I'm pretty sure the secret is safe posting pictures of this here... In fact, I'm pretty sure no one who knows Amanda or that I know personally or game with locally even reads this blog anymore, so... 

Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Should have the Sisters Squad in a week or so. Other things on the workbench include an Arvus Lighter, Some Seven Years War British, some Adeptus Arbites stand-ins and some more Shadespire miniature for my friend John. 

Over the weekend I'll probably be posting a report of the weeks gaming - as we've had a pretty full week of board gaming, and there might even be a 40K battle report...
