Still not actually thought up profiles for them all yet.. is a power halberd and bolter a bit ott as well? I'm kinda thinking it maybe, looks good though!!
Ah, Belladonna, always great to see her about - I've got my own all-girl Warband on the go, so it'll be interesting to see what you get up to. she looks surprisingly good with her arm bent up like that, very nice, natural pose.
Power halberd and bolter might be a bit much, but she's armoured as well, I imagine the weight will take its toll
I really like the enforcer and cyberhound paint schemes, really really nice! Good paint jobs all round though.
It is OTT but you could always offset it with the bolter having one bullet reserved for a daemonic character or some such, plus a not OTT Bs skill.
Alternatively you could balance it with other people not being over powered and she is just the main thing and everyone else is a pretty weak support role, which would also be fun to roleplay
that's a nice little warband there

This is largely how my (still in progress) Ecclesiarchy warband works, because it was the only way I could really use a power armoured Battle Sister without it being totally overwhelming.
I've not really had much chance to test it, but it has proven to make a warband that's not too much to handle. However, experience quickly taught me that taking her alongside other combatants is only to be done on rare occasions.
As such, I'd say that with an enforcer and a well armed ganger, a bolter, a power halberd and heavy armour may not make you many friends. Reining that in (either with lesser weapons, or adding disadvantages) would probably be a good idea.
The models look very good.
About her, you could say that she isn;t very skilled with the weapons, she has powerful equipment but not the skills to use them to their full effect. Or you could have her weapons be slightly less effective than normal, perhaps she lacks people with the skills to repair such sophisticated items.
Thanks for all the comments guys, always love feed back.
Might keep her as just an awesome looking model, work on someone else as the leader. She can be my Amberly like character from the Ciaphas Cain books.
Currently painting up the sister repentia model, but again twin bolt pistols maybe a little powerful, will be doing a bounty hunter next though. Thinking of a shotgun and bionic, as I really can't stand the arms the model has, love the legs, torso and head with the hat though, gotta love that hat!

That could be somewhat offset by not taking the Ambidextrous or Gunfighter skills, as tempting as it is to do so. It's basically the case that every guns akimbo character gets these skills, which shouldn't necessarily be the case.
I admit that my own dual-wielding character did eventually get given both, but with a low BS and some fairly low powered stubbers, she was proving a little ineffectual with all those penalties as well. (She still doesn't hit much even these days, though.)
That could be quite an interesting idea, renowned for her terrible accuracy, given a second pistol so she can spray more bolts in the right sort of direction with still not a lot of chance of hitting anything. I like this kinda thing! Great way to develop idea's for characters. Wasn't really planning on an all girl warband as well to be honest. I'll get a few more painted and work out a group from there.
Just thought I'd post the gang up as a whole so far, top two shelves are ebay buys, the rest are my own creations, but other then the 3 I posted up already all need a bit doing to them as I painted them a few years back, so not happy with them now!

That is a veritable collection, I look forwards to seeing more of them.
So the sob is coming along, but done her as a Martyered Lady, what colour should I do the purity seals.. normally they are red but..
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-TkOQAg4WygA/T_XsB8z8xHI/AAAAAAAAAbY/t6wPS1KwZ_Q/s640/SANY1098.JPG)
white's a good colour for seals, and it'll stand out nicely from the black & red
was doing the manuscripts white though, so they would maybe clash with that. Not sure, wondering about a darkish blue.. or yellow, but again, might clash.
try green purity seals!
dark angels green as base colour, goblin green mixed with dark angels green as highlight, devlan mud as shade.
just my two cents.
phil
Went with green purity seals, still need to do base but that can now wait for tomorrow! need some sleep.

Ooh, is that Inquisitrix Kang Ju Ki I see there on your shelf? :)
Also, I'm definitely going to have to get that Belladonna model at some point. You all make her look so good, and I'm a massive fan of Escher since my first Necromunda campaign ages back.
Could we see some pics of your guard/enforcer team too? It's always nice to give the grunts some screen time! ;)
Here are the guard, they are some of ones from a few years back, so going to give them a going over, shade and highlight etc at the moment its just very flat colours.

Got one more guys with a lasgun and a bionic arm but not painted him at all yet.
As for the Inquisitrix, I think it was, saw her on ebay years ago, recognised her from somewhere and bought it for £20 odd which was well worth it, awesome model.
Those models look very good, really something to be proud of. The sister is truly marvelous, her face has a lot of character in it.

good spot, I was a bit annoyed at myself for completely forgetting to bid when Robey sold her way back when, went for a fairly low price as I remember it.
Nice little collection you've got there, good to see it growing.
Ah so you know who that model belonged to? it is a really awesome model, taken good care of it! and yeah, was pretty cheap, as I said about £20 or so.
She was the work of our very own Robey Jenkins, aka PrecinctOmega. Kind of funny how she ended up back here...
Troll!!
I got the 54mm troll and slayer off ebay, Troll done, can use it as a scavy / monster.
Huge model, towers over the little puny inquisitors!

The troll looks god, I wonder how it scales up next to the other models you have.
Terrible picture, but you can see the size difference

That thing really is huge, I feel sorry for those who have to fight it without a chance to outwit the thing.
Never did actually stick up the finished sob..

Bounty hunter on the go now! one things I've realised with this, painting I'm pretty good at! sculpting.. I'm terrible at! lol!
She looks very good as well, she has a realy desperate look on her face, which I think is really fitting.
Not been around a bit for a while, alot on, decided to actually brush the ol' modelling workstation down and water the paints a bit.. annnd here he is!

looks good, a much more active pose than the bounty hunters default one.
