Since the Sisters of Battle units I have are plastic, I don't particularly need a file (as I would for pewter). But a hobby knife of some sort for scraping mold lines and correcting things is helpful.

Most hobby knives are basically Exact-O knives. But doing some research, I hit upon a top from another hobbyist. Surgical Blades! They are just as sharp and useful as an Exact-O blade except I was able to get 100 of them for about as much as one Exact-O Knife!

I will need something to hold on to my units as I prime, base, and paint them. Up to now I had been using old, empty medication bottles, since I have so many (thank you anxiety and depression!).

But going forward, especially when I want to do some pinning to paint things by themselves I decided to go for cork. To do this I simple got some wine corks.

For some of my assembly I will be doing a tiny bit of pinning. I'm not entirely certain if I will pin pieces together, but I do know I will be painting faces before they are attached to armor. And in that scenario, pinning will be used.

I acquired a Craft911 Precision Pin Vice. This is completely manual and comes with exceptionally tiny drill bits. I am using a 0.8mm bit for this unit.

Most of the Sisters of Battle units that I have are plastic. Therefore, the glue that I will be using is plastic cement. In this case, I am using Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. I'm sure other types would work just as well, but after a little bit of researching, this is what I determined will work for me.

Cours n2 de #warhammer40k au Games Workshop : Death Guard contre un petit détachement de Space Marine pour réviser les phases de base et rajouter la gestion des règles d'armée et les Objectifs.
Plus des conseils peintures pour améliorer mes petits bonhommes.
Toujours aussi bon accueil et explications didactiques.
Et le drame : "bon le codex va sortir, ça va "un peu" changer les règles/carac/orga de l'armée."
Mais je vais tenter de m'accrocher plus cette fois !

Raider gunship.

Heavily modified Dark Eldar Raider for my personal army/collection.
The aim was to turn this into more of an attack helicopter gunship-like craft.

Additions include:
Adding an old-school Raider front end to a new body.
A more "science-y" power supply.
Wings for additional weapons.
and a crew of a goblin, Tyranid ripper and Space Wolf marine.
