Faith and Fury! Part 5

Finished a unit of Repentia. These were nice and quick to paint, especially with the contrast paints. Unfortunately the primer I used really messed up the detail on the models, so I did the best I could do.

Still they are done, ready for the next game.

Not sure what it next, probably more repentia, though I have no more white spray so there won't be any more painting till I get some. Thankfully someone is willing to give me a can on the Friday night games, so hopefully I can get a little more done before I go back to work and progress essentially halts.

Anyways, thanks for looking.

Faith and Fury! Part 4

 Finished off some characters as a reward for the troops I completed. Another canoness and an Imagifier.

Great fun to paint these characters. Plus they have done alright in my games, so deserve some paint.

This was a great model, though shame in was in 'resin'. Otherwise was good fun. Decided to do something a little different with the hair with this one. Just cos.

Also gave her a yellow pistol case, as a slight homage to my old Ragnar Blackmane model from 2nd edition that had a yellow pistol as well.

No name for the Imagifier yet, will have to see. Though at some stage I do need to name a badass character Ripley.

Unfortunately, I have no more Battle Sisters to paint, as they are still sold out. So I am now onto my Repentia. Hopefully they don't take too long to do, as I want at least one unit done before the Crusade games on Friday.

Anyways, thanks for looking.

Faith and Fury! Part 3

 As promised, I finished my next unit of troops for the Sororitas. 

Here they are!

Same configuration as the last unit, two storm bolters. This time I used more of the weathering powders on the unit and cloth. I think it makes them fit into the environment better.

Now onto some characters for a little break from rank and file. Hoping to get them done in the next couple of days. Will post it up when done.

Thanks for looking.

Faith and Fury! Part 2

I actually painted these awhile ago, but have only found the time to upload them now. I have been playing quite a few game with the sisters in 9th, mainly with the Bloody Rose Order, but regardless, troops are always necessary.

This unit is made up of a few limited edition models, and originally was going to use them as canoness, however, they are great models and would get more game time with being standard sisters. So here they are. 

Unit of 5 Sisters with two storm bolters.

 I think they look the business, though there are things that could be better. I am currently on holidays, so I'm hoping to get the next unit of Battle Sisters done.

Anyways, thanks for looking.

Faith and Fury! Part 1

 It has certainly been quite a break since my last brush stroke, but I have a new focus now since the new edition has been released. With a new edition, comes a new army with a different playstyle to my existing Eldar and Imperial Fists! The Adepta Sororitas!

I wanted a different playstyle like I have mentioned, and also a nice model range, which the Adepta Sorotitas does very well with. I did a bit of research, and unlike my other armies, I am actually going for a custom Order this time, rather than use an existing one. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, I wanted to have the option to switch and play different Order's, as I quite like the flexibility in the Adepta Sororitas Codex. Secondly, I also wanted to paint a different paint scheme rather than the official one. I really don't go for custom armies and paint jobs, usually only sticking with the 'official' paint schemes, so I am interested in how this is going to go! I also think it will be fun when playing through some Crusade games and the narrative that will evolve out of that, of which I am very much looking forward to. I think the next games night in two weeks will be our first, so very pumped!

 So having picked and read up on the army, and seen quite a lot of battle reports, I played my first game with them just this past Friday. I wanted to play an aggressive army with a number of assault elements, something I have not done since my Blood Angels army in 4th Edition! We only played a combat patrol as my friend was just getting back into it and it seemed like a good points value for learning. Unfortunately, my luck was a little obnoxious and the game didn't last very long. That said, Lady of the match was definitely the Canoness, having killed 5 Death Company on the first turn single handed. My friend game her the moniker 'Black Death', which seemed quite apt. So I decided to paint her up, for her heroic performance. 

Here is the result. Canoness Selina 'The Black Death' Agna.

The armour was just Corax White spray paint, then two thin coats of 1:1 Contrast Apothecary White and Contrast medium. Then White scar on the highlights.

The red was using Contrast Flesh Tearer, Mephiston, Wild Rider and some orange I think. Plus Agrax as always. The purple was my ancient pot of purple, with pinks added for highlights and the Fleur de Lys. I actually used a new base colour for the gold, Retributor Gold, which went on very easy and I quite like. Washed the gold with Agrax again.

The sword was a little different, done with Iyanden Yellow and wet mixing Flesh Tearer Red to get the transition. The tip was Yriel and Flash Git Yellow, with white added to it in stages to get the tip.

The base was undercoated white, with Contrast Aggaro Dunes, and a Agrax wash after. Stones were painted Administratum Grey, with a Nuln Wash and reapply Administarum Grey and Grey Seer Grey for a highlight.

So quite pleased with the result, except for the freehand, but it has been ages since I have done that kind of thing, so hopefully I will improve over time. 

Might work on Repentia next. 

Thanks for looking.

Cheers!
