Basically a not-Celestine, which is a model that uses the rules of Saint Celestine but is called something else.
This model was finished for months, but never uploaded. I recently decided to modify her a bit, by replacing the stock backpack with a Sanguinary Guard backpack. Unfortunately for me, when I opened the Sanguinary Guard box, I discovered that the wings attached to a special torso piece, rather than the backpack itself. I decided to trim down the curved parts of the wings that attached to the torso, and glue them onto the bulges of the piping on the backpack. This is unfortunately not visible on this photo. I also discovered that the model's back and the new backpack both had female joins, so it was unfortunately not possible to simply stick the backpack onto the model. I ended up using a small amount of greenstuff to help the superglue keep it on.
Initially, her armor was painted a more dull color, but that color was out of production by the time I got the new backpack, and my only tub of it was all dried up due to poor care on my part.
The armor - including backpack and top of the wings - is painted with Balthazar Gold, drybrushed with Chainmail (Chainmail is out of production). The backpack was primed white, and the wings were given a good coat or two of White Scar. The pink robes are a mix of Warlock Purple (out of production too) and Skull White (also out of production), a combination which I use for all my Sisters of the Flame.
Her face looks weird because the flesh color got onto the adjacent hair. :: shrugs :: I'm a sloppy painter.
The rocks are (mostly) gravel from the driveway, not counting the light grey ones immediately beneath the tail end of her robes, which are part of the model.
I think that's all I really have to say about her... her background is contained in one of the fluff pieces I've uploaded.

: D Initially the price difference was too large for me - a box of Sisters cost 50 CDN, and a box of Tactical Marines cost 35. But then the price gap closed, and I decided to start up a Sisters army. ^_^ Ended up getting 5 boxes of 10 Sisters, a box of Repentia, and a box of Seraphim, spread over quite a few months - maybe even a couple of years.
Now, though... If I had to start now, I might decide against it, because a squad of 10 Sisters with 2 special weapons and a Superior costs around twice what a Tactical Squad costs.

I actually like Finecast. I find it a lot easier to assemble than metal, because the parts actually stick together well without the need for greenstuff to help adhere it. I built two metal Penitent Engines a few months after getting them. The reason it took so long to get them together is because such models are a nightmare. Eventually I said, "feth this gak," and unloaded a metric gakton of greenstuff into the joints. The models now look odd with all that greenstuff seeping out of the joints.
With Finecast, they'd've gone together day one, no fuss, no mess, no need to use Green Stuff.
I will admit that a plastic 3-model kit would be better for Penitent Engines, but I, personally, would happily pay a 20% price hike for Finecast Penitent Engines.
I do 100% agree that plastic Sisters of Battle would be bitchin'ly awesome. Mainly because then I could make some Scaley Sisters using WHFB Lizardmen Saurus bits. Well, maybe not bitz, but mangled tails and heads for sure. It's also probably inevitable, because I can't imagine who would pay 10+ dollars a model for basic infantry that are NOT Grey Knights - right now in CDN, Battle Sisters with Boltguns blisters are 7 bucks a model, plus taxes.

I tried pinning... it did not go well at all. When I tried to cut the paper clip, it was really tough, and when the paper clip finally gave way, it went flying somewhere where I still have yet to find it. With metal, it's hard for me to judge how deep the hole is, so I ended up drilling all the way through the Big Mek's arm.
I'm sure with practice I'd get better at it, but many a model will be ruined first. Finecast removes the need for pinning.

Haha I did that before. The trick to not sending them into orbit is to sink the lead tip of the clip into something like puddy. (GW said use Green stuff but as that costs a ton, just use play doh it works for this just the same) And when you cut it won't rocket off. Pinning went so well for me I always do it to anything larger then a Terminator.
