Retributor Squad Sabine Veterana

These models were finished years ago.  Of all of my Sisters of Battle, the Retributors have remained the most consistently fielded unit.

The vaugeries of Games Workshop codex design have left this little unit effecive and lethal through all of the codexes.  Four heavy bolters are lethal enough, four heavy bolters with Faith in the Emperor guiding the rounds to the Rending rule make them truely scary.  Despite these women being at the top of any enemies target priority list, they are often one of the only units left standing at the end.

Battle for Sanctuary 9000 in Tortuga Marches

These Sisters were all hand painted in approximatedly 9 layers each.  Strating from a black undercoat, then a Codex Grey base coat up to white, layered with very thin paint in a heavily charged brush.
I have never had the models to change out retributoirs as Multi Meltas, and I do not see the point of fielding a mixed weapons unit.
