Good morning, Sisters.

I currently have a large force of traitor Guardsmen, focused around massed infantry. Im looking to start a new army, and what I'd like is a small elite melee force. Painting so many infantry, I started to rush, and I'd like something to take my time over.

Im leaning towards sisters due to the aesthetic, and I really like the miracle dice mechanic.

I was thinking of building an army around two big blobs of celestial sacrecants with halbards, hospitalers, and Palatines.

A saint celestine with some Zepharym and an Exorcist.

I have heard, however, that these units may not be very viable at the moment, but im not overly interested in being as optimal as possible. I just want to build a cool looking army without getting tabled every time.

So, any advice on achieving a small elite force, centred around melee primarily but not exclusively, would be really appreciated.

I've bought 40 skeletons off eBay, some partially assembled, I've not painted any soulblight before (but I do paint guardsmen, so not too different). Im a little daunted by this bulk and was hoping someone could help me with bulk painting skeletons, usually I spend alot of time over each guardsman, but at my rate of painting cadians this will take me 4 months.
