Sisters with new Backpacks
I finally, after almost a year of dragging my feet, got the backpacks on my second new squad of Sisters of Battle. I've another 20 left to go on, but these little things are a pain to find, and worse to lose.
Same technique as before: black primer, drybrush white, ink of P3 armor wash, ink of P3 blue ink, grey on the fleur de lis, dry brush white layer on the fleur de lis, warplock bronze on all the metal parts, white cap on the little computer screen w/ some green ink, and then bright yellow on one of the buttons, red on the other. Glue, purity seal... done.

Finished some Kasrkin Stormtroopers
I got these guys as a gift from my favorite wargaming store after I painted terrain for them. These dudes will help fill out my acolytes for Codex: Inquisition.
I started with black primer, that got a bit fuzzy and ruined the models. I added a few magnets for multiple weapon combos, and hid them under green stuff, masked as ammo pouches.
Then, I drybrushed with white, inked the armor with red ink, and then painted the fatigues with dark reaper grey, working up to celestra and thunderhawk grey. I painted the hotshot lasguns with the same technique as the armor, but I put a layer of bestial brown as a base layer first, then highlighting with white layer paint, and inking with yellow ink. Then, I did all the details, capping white with really bright secondary colors to represent all the blinking lights and buttons. Finished it off with some purity seal, and I'm still trying to decide on what color to do the bases.
:: Melta Sisters ::
I found these two blister packs from a store near my buddy's place. I painted these on 5-13-13. I almost lost these off my buddy's balcony while I was varnishing them. I found all the bitz and was able to put it all back together, plus some battle damage.
:: Exorcist ::
I painted this tank between January and May 2013. I was very busy in between so I didn't get all the way done with them bitz until I was done with other stuff in May.
:: St. Celestine the Divine ::
I also got this at the same time I got the Exorcist tank, and it took about 6 months before I could start her. She's by far the best special character the Sisters have, so I want her to be a centerpiece to my coven.
:: Ecclesiarchy ::
These are my preachers and ecclesiarchs of the Imperial Ecclesiarchy.
