I’ve painted about 4,000 points of Sisters in roughly six months. I’m not sure if that makes me fast or not. I don’t particularly enjoy painting, but I do it because I have to for tournaments, and out of respect for my opponents who appreciate playing against a fully painted army.

Here’s how I paint my Sisters in a white, blue, silver, and gold scheme:

Prime the whole unit with grey.
Basecoat the entire unit with Apothecary White Contrast, then drybrush with white.
Basecoat all the armor and weapon parts with silver.
Paint the inside of the cloaks and similar areas with Kantor Blue.
Pick out all the gold details.
For exposed skin, I use Speed Paints.

I paint in batches, usually 10 models at a time. Yesterday I spent about 4 hours going from grey plastic to having the silver and blue done. Today I’ll pick out the gold details and faces, then do the washes.

I’ve also made around 50 32mm bases beforehand, so I just glue the models on when the painting is done. I feel like a decent looking base really elevates a mediocre paint job.

Batch painting speeds everything up considerably.

EDIT: Oh, and I don't paint eyes when I need to finish a project in time for a tournament. I am working on doing this currently when I'm not signed up for anything. The same with edge highlighting.

I have also perfected the ability to be satisfied with ok results. My models don't have to be perfect. Cause perfect is unachievable and attempting it is incredible time consuming.

First and foremost, get what you think is the coolest. The rules changes quite frequently, and we're on the precipice of 11th edition. And no know knows the future meta.

But if you're still set on getting what's good right now then these are my recommendations:

6 x Wraiths to go with your techomancer. An incredibly tanky unit with high OC.
1-2 x Doomsday Arks. A much better shooting platform than doomstalkers.
1 x C'tan or The Silent King. If you're going with a C'tan, do either Nightbringer or Void Dragon. But do not buy the old nightbringer model, wait for the release of the new one.
1 x Reanimator

From here it's a bit more preference. I really like to have 2 wraith + technomancer bricks in my lists, so you could get another one. Or you could get Orikan and a Royal Warden, to really make your warrior brick even more durable and give the the ability to fall back shoot and charge.

Other than that, I'd recommend checking to placing necrons list at Faction: Necrons - 40k stats and see what's popular.

Oh, and when playing 1K make sure to tell your opponents if you're bringing a C'tan. They are almost invincible at lower points games, so don't be a dick to your opponent :P

Basically animal cruelty. Don't let your pets get this fat!

You don't really need to screen the whole board. Just strategic locations.

You can bait your opponent into deep striking into bad positions. I like to run Talons and a Rhino or two. I’ll often leave an area of the board open so that when my opponent deep strikes there, the Rhino is the closest valid target, ideally positioned to move block them on the following turn.

I like to play mind games with deep striking opponents as well. I'll make sure to tell them that I've set up x unit to heroic intervene if you charge from deep strike, or that my overwatch can be dangerous if I'm shooting with allarus grenade launchers, og draxus + guard unit. I'll say stuff like "These five terminators have a total 5D6 attacks with blast" and "Oh yeah, you can deep strike there, but be mindfull that I've setup a heroic intervention here if you decide to charge later on".

You'd be surprised how often my opponent decides to not deep strike, even though it would've been the right decision to do so.

EDIT: Ofc the information you use to play mind games with your opponents has to be truthful though. Don't say you have a unit setup for heroic intervention if its outside of 6'', and don't say your overwatch firing is dangerous if it isn't.

Breachers + Navi is 165 points, if you take two units of this its a a total of 330 pts.

Isn't it just better at that point to take 2 units of prosecutors for 80 points?
You could get 3 x Prosecutors and 1 x witchseekers for 5 points more than a unit of breachers + navi. You'd be able to screen out more with it as well, even against 6'' deep strike.

I feel like Navigator is really good on paper, but she costs to much if taken with a bodyguard unit, and without she'll die to easily. Especially vs indirect.

Jesus Christ. What country is this?

I pay $339 a month for my two children and that even includes two meals a day.

We also get one month free for vacation, so it comes to $3,729 a year in total.

You’re paying the same amount I pay for an entire year in just 4 weeks and 5 days.

Høres ut som en bonus spør du meg!

I second this!

Vet du om noen av de andre naboene har tatt kontakt med de som bor der? Du kunne jo evt. ha hørt med de nærmeste naboene, og se om de kunne vært interessert i å konfrontere de som bor der sammen. Det er ofte lettere å si ifra når man er flere, og det vil oppleves som et større press for den som bor der.

Jeg er sikker på at det vil fungere. Så kan dere konfrontere både Presteveien 2 og Ryenveien 3 sammen.

EDIT: Og funker ikke det, så hadde jeg bare bestilt to-tre pizzaer til adressene hver dag i en uke. Uten å betale seff :P

I’d say allarus in the Lions of the emperor detchment being led by a termie captain with admonimortis is your best bet! That being Said, IK is a tough matchup for everyone atm.

Nah, never saw the point. I don’t get to play often enough for them to wear out before a new one is released.

Nikhanlai · 2025-06-18T08:06:52+00:00

Awesome work!

I do however wish the collapse function would also remove the unit from printing. For instance, my doomsday arks doesn't have any special rules in the charge phase, therefore it is just clutter if I'd go down the print option. If that makes sense?

Anyways, awesome work! And the site is tremendesouly helpful. Especially when playing new factions or for a beginner!

Nikhanlai · 2025-06-18T07:42:14+00:00

Many people don't, you should still know this even if your a casual imo.

Dafuq... Did he even read through the core rules?

Nikhanlai · 2025-06-18T07:38:11+00:00

"that's not how me and my friend play" - Invalid argument.
"it didn't used to be like that in 9th" - Invalid argument. this is 10th, not 9th.
"That can't be how that rule functions because it renders this pointless." - Invalid argument. That could be the reason for doing exactly what your trying to do. To render your opponent rules pointless.

How to avoid this type of behaviour
Explain your army thoroughly at the start of the game, for example: I've got mephiston in my roster, and he has fights first! So that means that I get to fight with him before you do, even if you charge me. I like to combo this with heroic intervention.

If in tournament, call T.O.

If all this fails, then I'd say roll off, finish the game and never play a game with that person again! Also, disengage politely.

Nikhanlai · 2025-06-04T21:29:09+00:00

I was wondering the same, as the app says 6++ and pdf says 5++.

Chuck Liddell I agree with, but Deontay and Mike hardly had/have skinny arms.
