They had raw strength, there was no denying that, but it was almost child's play avoiding their clumsy strikesĪ massive cleaver parted the air a hairsbreadth to her left, an area that Nesos had been occupying only a moment earlier. Now her only audience was Hag Queen Lathori's expeditionary force and the savage brutes they seemed to run into at every turn out in the wilds of Ghur. It had been many long months since she had bowed to rapturous applause on the blood speckled sands of Excelsis' fighting pits. How she reveled in the adoration of the crowds who came to see her and her troupe perform. Her buckler deflecting the clumsy blows of her opponents only to turn it into a riposte of her own, drawing blood even on the defense. Flying through the air, whip lashing out to bisect a torso here, a leg there. There were few amongst her sisterhood who could rival the spectacle she achieved. The blood sport was at the core of her being, a deadly ballet of slaughter performed in honor of her god, Khaine, the bloody handed one, and oh how she performed it.
Drilled into her through years of fighting in the gladatoriums of her temple and the various cities of Sigmar. Though the dance had many variations, all of them were known to her. Nesos recited the familiar mantra in her head as she flipped through the swirling melee, dodging out of the way of enemy attacks with an almost supernatural grace. This way it was different enough visually from the other banner, and also had a cool minimalist look. When I looked at it with just the two smaller symbols I decided I liked it as it was. For the banner, I was originally going to use the same symbol as I have on my Witch Aelves' banner plus the two smaller ones, but as I was applying the transfers I had to take the larger eye icon off due to the transfer wrinkling.
These models probably have the most of my army's color out of the whole army, since their shields are also painted Screamer Pink. It's not very hard, but it does take a little while. I made the choice on my first Sister of Slaughter model to line highlight every ridge on the whip. In some areas they go a bit faster, such as not having any detailed faces to paint, or larger hair, but in others they take a bit longer, mostly with the whips.
In fact, you can follow my guide for them and you'll have all the tools you'll need for this unit as well. In terms of painting, the Sisters of Slaughter are tackled in pretty much the same way as the Witch Aelves.
