Order of the Bloody Rose


Recommended Posts

I've started collecting sisters following the release of the new living saint model and I hope to get some shadow war games in!

I chose red because it goes well with the bone coloured robes. More pics to follow.

Nice colors! Though I have to say that the Order of the Bloody Rose has black robes with white linings. This color scheme could easily be a Minor Order created from the Bloody Rose, but if you're following the GW fluff, this would be a bit like painting a Salamanders army green and blue :P

 

Either way the paint looks great, and that blue hair is certainly interesting :D

Thanks guys, I wanted to try the punk hair to tie them in with my Escher gang for shadow war.

 

I'm not a big fan of the repentia as they are, a bit too sexualised, so I did my own conversion

I've got another five grishnak models to paint but this is what I have so far

I really love your color pallet. It helps me with what to paint mine as I try to recollect an army. Love the conversions as well. Not to start an argument but about the repentia, I don't really think they were going for a sexual aspect but more of a "you've been stripped of all to repent for something bad they've done until you fall to the Emperors favor or forgiveness" look. Rags and face covers to take their identity away til deemed worthy again. But, the ones you've created fit that to a tee. Keep posting your great army pics.

Eh, when I look at the models, I see a lot of elements I don't like, and the Mistress is just as bad. Like, her helmet is cut away so her lips are visible. I would prefer if the Repentia were wearing only rags, and maybe a little smaller proportioned around the chest area. I think that would get rid of most of the issues I have with them.

 

Fluff wise, in my headcanon, a Repentia actually getting reinstated to their order is an incredibly rare occurrence 1 in 10,000 would be a generous number, imo (complete non-sequitur).

 

Sorry for hijacking your thread Red :D

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I haven't thought about rules tbh as I just wanted a fleur de Lys jetbike. I've added twin linked autocannon to help with the heretic hunting. Here it is with a quick paint job, hunting with a pack of archo flagellants

I can't really take the Fleur de Lys jetbike seriously since it plays into the theme overdose I despise in space marines but I like your war maidens. I also like that your repentias have the muscles sisters of battle should have after all their training.

I won't mind the Escher hair colors too much as long as no one gets rainbow hair. tongue.png
