Thoqqu Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Heya!I have a considerable amount of sisters waiting to be painted and after my AM (see sig.) I wanted to have a paintscheme that is simple and relatively fast to paint yet looks good on the table.Hereby I give you my first sister in colours! (Disregard the base)http://i61.tinypic.com/2qny0ds.jpghttp://i58.tinypic.com/2u6mvqu.jpghttp://i61.tinypic.com/2qx6kxl.jpgComments and criticism welcome.*edit* images not tilted anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 http://i58.tinypic.com/2zjbzfq.jpg I'm slightly unsure about the robes as they are a bit blue... but how about if I base these in to an ice world with snow and ice? Or should I just add skull white? Also these don't have edge highlights of blue horror like the first one... think I like these better. Next pic: HQ and 2 troops painted and based ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think the robes look fine, but given the lighter scheme maybe a snow/ice base might not work as well? What about an urban basing scheme? I think they're looking good but could do with a bit more colour. Perhaps some gold on skulls for example?

chaplain belisarius Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wow.maybe add some red to make them pop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Simple and relatively easy my ass.... I had to dig up my army painter psycho grade brush. Pics maybe tomorrow. Decided to add red and gold. Sneakpeak of power weapons http://i61.tinypic.com/168zgvb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBen Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 They're looking good Thoqqu. I'll echo WarriorFish's suggestion to steer away from snowy bases though. With the silver and white colour scheme, they might get a bit lost in the snow... Something that gives a nice contrast would perhaps be better? Perhaps urban, but with more browns than greys. I'm liking the power weapons too. Keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've recently bought some agrellan earth and been itching to get to use the stuff. Settled on simple desert, I may later add some beige/brown tufts when my local shop has some. Bear in mind that this was pretty much my first attempt at: Colored hair, power weapons and desert... =) http://i57.tinypic.com/290tul1.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/24pgwtu.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/34zwuug.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/11ka0c5.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/9jepmc.jpg I might have to redo the sword with "inwards" lightning. It was the first of the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Looks like they're marching along a dried riverbed. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Cool, I think the bases work well. All I'll add is that the odd tuft of dried grass and rock etc would really make the bases pop :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain belisarius Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Cool. Maybe make the loincloth things red or blue to break up the silver and draw the eye to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looking great mate! Youve got a great scheme there and a nice red to really make the models pop. Great stuff! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 One of my favorite units =) http://i61.tinypic.com/2a0fihk.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/28b4fly.jpg Do you prefer these images with white background or the ones that show the minis in their natural habitat?

WarriorFish Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 A bit of fancy backgrounds always helps I'll get round to it one day! They looks good, I'd drill out those barrels though as that makes a disproportionate difference in how they look. Picking out some of the weapon details would also help make them pop - both well worth doing for the relatively little effort required You're certainly making good progress, sadly just makes me aware of how little hobby time I have at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I suppose some edge highlighting would be good for the guns but for the time being I just don't feel like doing it... maybe I'll get to it at a later point and do all guns in a row.

Partial to the white background. Second from the left looks to have a bit that could be filed down on the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Technically not a sister but in the next game he'll be outflanking with 20 of them. ^^ http://i58.tinypic.com/20zehl5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Looking good but don't forget the priests for that unit. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Cool idea for back field pressure. I've been experimenting with my Callidus assassin for this, but Cypher is an interesting option.. EDIT: removed pic.

Duke Danse Macabre Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I find assassins more useful than Cypher for his points, just depends on what gap in the force your trying to fill. I think the Callidus is the one that deploys an inch from the enemy and screws if reserve rolls if I recall, she has allot going for her and is a major threat. Really helps reduce other forces air superiority as well until we decisivly have the upper hand which I am a great fan of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal1989 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah that 1" and only snap shots on her 1st turn is great. She was poised to slaughter some Death Company in the last game I played with her, when my opponent seized the intuitive I was only able to kill 4. In games where I am less of a bro, that -3 to first reserve roll can really bite people who don't know its coming and declare something cool as their first thing. I might try cypher out sometime. He doesn't use a FOC slot right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naminé Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 he doesn't use a FOC but he does reduce your warlord's leadership by 1. If you are running Celestine or Uriah that is a slight nerf but Cypher gives a lot of benefits too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 She infiltrates, so unless your bringing her in from reserves you should have no issues using her template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal1989 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 She infiltrates, so unless your bringing her in from reserves you should have no issues using her template. Would have been the case, but I had first turn and infiltrated her 1" away in prime template position on the Death Company, but he stole the initiative . Still killed 100pts og guys. though.
