Converting SISTERS OF NURGLE out of Used Warhammer Models

This week I decided to have a little fun and take a bunch of used models and turn them into a sweet Killteam of Sisters of Nurgle. These minis can be used as Sisters of Battle or Deathguard, seems like a nice way to go in order to get multiple playstyles out of the same models!
Inspiration for this video came from a variety of sources

It is always a pleasure to see another video pop up from Casey; especially when it is Death Guard themed. The Nur-Gals.

[@OmegaLittleBob]

No matter how “pure and righteous” a sister of battle is, eventually there’s always a level of Warp energy that will corrupt anyone short of Blank, Custodes or grey knight. So yeah it’s really hard to corrupt a sister but Chaos is boring like that sometimes. Chaos doesn’t always give you a choice.

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

And besides, I can think of a hundred different 40k stories where intense devotion to the emperor gets twisted into intense devotion to a Chaos god, both without the worshipper realizing it and with. Add to that we write our own stories, and there you go! On a long deployment in a backwater system, disease ravages the Sisters. But lo! A miracle from the Emperor saves Sister Justinia from the brink of death, and though she bears the plagues, they bother her not! Praise be to Him who delivers us from the ravages of illness, praise be to Him who gives life even amidst this foulness! And so it begins...

There has only ever been one sister to fall to chaos control

[@starbomber]

A problem I didn't think about with this dual purpose army/kill-team is yes, the conversion definitely jives and could be used as either or, but I see you've put them on 32mm bases to fit with the *plague marine* theme, however sisters IIRC are on 28mm (unless they changed sisters to heroic scale when I wasn't paying attention. Anyway its still a really cool conversion just yeah base sizes are kinda unfortunate)

[@rootsnootthnute8598]

I only have one squad of the basic battle sisters, and they came with 32mm bases, maybe it's a power armor thing

[@redschafer7804]

for kill team the 32mm bases are ok for regular 40k it might be less i just not sure

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I’m think you’re right they are supposed to be 28mm. Honestly I was using the bases the used models came on and didn’t think about it. But for a friendly game I don’t think anyone will mind. As far as a complete swap of an army, yeah that does present an issue.

[@Awwsha]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues sisters are on 32mm bases

[@kerbal666]

To play them on the table would you just decrease the moment and increase toughness?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

You could, but I’m planning on just swapping out the profiles from sisters to dg plague marines. Same weapons pretty much, and the stat changes are basically just more toughness and less speed. I would only be playing in friendly games with people I know anyways, so it doesn’t have to make too much sense.

[@k.v.7681]

Sort of fitting that a derelict tank containing dead flies ended up as a Nurgle asset. He laid claim and corrupted it even before the paintjob.

[@TwinSteel]

Is the blur to hide branding or an injury? Hope you’re ok

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I cut my finger and took the bandaid off cause it was getting in the way of my paintbrush, turns out when you film in 4K and pretty close that looks kinda gross, so I decided to blur it. I’m alright though, thanks for asking :)

[@dougpridgen9682]

What's the reason for priming outdoors with a spray can when you have an airbrush? Just curious. Nice conversion and painting.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Honestly it's pure convenience. I've used both a lot and while the airbrush dries quicker, the difference is almost non-existent (if you keep the can under control). If I were going to paint a display model, or something for a competition, I would definitely use my airbrush over the can. Having that extra control makes sense, but for gaming pieces, I can roll the dice a little :)

[@maximus4155]

Nice! What size needle did you use for those?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I used the new Angel Giraldez infinity brush which I think comes standard with a .4 needle, but it’s variable when it shoots so you can get details like a .2. Really cool airbrush!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

In the description:)

[@thaibreuer3533]

Lore-wise, there's no problem with playing them as already-corrupted Plague Marines. As for using the Sister's rules, I'd like to think that this (i.e., any Killteam match you are playing) is when they realised the corruption took hold, but they retain just enough willpower and faith to carry on their last suicide mission before Chaos inevitably claims them.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That’s a perfect way to look at it, and why I love doing conversions like this. It’s just a quick story jump away to make the models even more compelling and fun for a small game like killteam :)

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I have difficulty with the idea of using an airbrush for something so tiny for other than base coats or priming *twitch*. But I have a big old Reaper Bones Cthulhu sitting on my desk as we speak that I've earmarked as an airbrush project. Other than painting with brighter colors (like this Cthulhu will be) and trying to get a better handle on NMM, getting better with my airbrush is another goal I think I should set for this year. Or try to anyway.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Setting aside a model for specific practice is great! Personally I find that when I come upon a crossroads, so to speak, and I could use either or, I pick the tool that I want to practice and use the other as a fallback or cleanup step if I screw it up. Just taking those opportunities when they come up gets you in the habit of knowing when you can use a tool you weren’t sure about before. Especially if it works out really well and you didn’t think it could!

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I blurred it cause it’s pretty fresh, and not small. I wasn’t worried about KZbin being weird, it just looked gross lol.

[@nitroboss8466]

Excuse my ignorance I'm not too familiar with tabletop, but can you actually play these like nurgle units or do you have to play them as standard sisters of battle.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

The idea is that you could play them as either types of models. As long as who you play with is cool with that. Generally I find that when you put work into something and it looks very intentional then people are pretty forgiving with conversions like this. I’m positive I could use these 5 minis as a plague marine squad or a battle sister squad and nobody would mind.

[@nitroboss8466]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues okay that's really cool I'm surprised there arent more conversions like this

@@nitroboss8466 me too, I’ve only seen a handful, which is super weird in this hobby. My guess is that the new sisters kits are just too new, not many people invested in them because of the price and even used they can be high, you get lucky sometimes though.

I went with red as a secondary but it didn't come out to great imo. I had used a freebie model from my local store and horns/spikes cut off a pox walker.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Slaanesh would be a perfect conversion for sisters. You could definitely use Daemonettes as a base. Colors wise, purple is great, and if you wanted some red you could make the skin warmer with red undertones. But black, silver, and purple with a hint of red would make them feel real slannesh. like the eyes could be red, or they could have a heat glow on their weapons or something.

[@silva352]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Thank you so much for the advice! Do you have any slaanesh kits you would recommend? I was also thinking of daughters of khaine kits but there is a size difference between them to consider as well. Something to use like heads or boots, weapons etc, Like the sisters fell to depravity was the kind of look I was picturing in my mind.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

@@silva352 no problem :) definitely the Daemonettes kit, just the basic troops, the size would be pretty close and they have some sweet head options that would fit really well on a sisters body. The DoK kits could be great as well, they are already on their way towards slaanesh too. I would think that the size would work for them as well. Could be nice to get a few used models of each and see which one looks better. That would be the road I would take for sure.

I don't think Sisters of Nurgle would ever happen. "Corrupted pregnancy" is one of the most consistent themes with Nurgle units and even the most grimdark 40k fans aren't ready to get that grimdark with representation of women after the whole daemonculuba incident.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Maybe not in that context. But it wouldn’t be hard to avoid that entirely and still make something cool. It’s entirely up to GW to just not be awful.
