Sisters of Battle Ideas

In between the whole deciding what paint scheme im going to choose and my other WIP armies, i was thinking about what i can do to convert the Sisters. Admitedly there isnt many models available for conversions, and my GS skills arent THAT crash hot. So in saying that, any models i wish to convert will be based on the Retributor models since they are the only ones that dont come with their arms attached. So here are my ideas:

- Simple change in Leg Postions. Will definitely require GS work afterwards.
- Some models CAN have weapon changes, notably the Sister who is priming her grenade with her mouth. Sister Superior models may be useable without too much hacking and slashing.
- Seraphim are potentially useful, although more work is needed there. If their legs can be repositioned and new arms looked for, they can be an excellent addition. I was looking at the artwork for the Sisters and a fair few do have a more gauntlet looking arm piece than the gloved look. This is good, as Marine arms could be used, although the scale may be an issue. Chaos Warrior arms were also a thought.
- Torso segment from the tank sprue is a possibility, once some arms and legs are acquired.
- For my Celestians, im going to go for a more hooded look, as well as the occasional Sabbart + Fleur de Lys helmed Celestian. Should be interesting for sure.

They are the ideas i have thought of, although none will be looked into just yet until i sort out the issue with the Paint Scheme. Ive been in contact with Vash on the B&C via PM and he suggested to do some more Paintshop images, which i will try and do. It isnt the best, but im just lookin' for an overall feel for the color scheme. So hopefully ill get some of those cranking by the end of today and may have a lil voting poll for what is good/bad/oh so very wrong and should be in a Slaanesh army etc etc.
