Some better offers pics of this one. Loved painting this model.

Because of my ridiculous tartan scheme I had to paint this entirely in sub assembly, but she has turned out ok this far. Still some finishing and tidying to do, plus the base of course.

It was this figure that I really wanted to paint. I love the faux medieval-Catholic look the Sororitas have and I really enjoyed the process.

Ever get bored of those Joan of Arc bowl cuts? I do, so went all 18th century vibes with this one.

Battle sisters update. First five complete and based!

More bloody tartan 😂. Some process shots where you can see how the oil wash and AK Streaking Grime brings the grimdark.

Painted another corpse fanatic today, so captured the process if some of you were interested. Yes, I still need to finish the base.

1. Base coat in scarlet/ rhinox hide mix

2. Black / khorne red stripes

3. As before, but make a lattice.

4. In the cross sections paint a black square.

5. A thin line vertical of Averland Sunset and white. I do this a bit bold, don't worry we'll knock em back in a bit.

6. As before, but horizontal

7. Using black, create a thin lattice in the scarlet boxes, vertical and horizontal.

8. Get brave. Apply a coat of matt varnish. Let it dry and cover in AK Streaking Grime. Let this dry and with a brush and white spirit brush to the bottom of the model.

9. Apply an oil wash of black and brown. As before let dry and dab off.

You're done. Add pigments if you like for extra dirt.

Full credit, I adapted my process on this tutorial by @kujopainting

Almost done on this McQueen inspired battle sister, and ready to start thinking about the rest of the squad. I have some finishing and tidying to do and of course the base.

I also debated whether to cover it all in AK streaking grime and an oil wash ... Which I did for that more worn, grimdark look these fanatical devotees require.

It's all brushwork, no transfers here!! This was the tutorial I watched and then adapted for my McQueen tartan.

WIP. Something completely different. Lots still to do and work out, and I need to think about how heavy I go with the oil washes so as not to lose the tartan.

Alexander McQueen inspired Adepta Sororitas.

Here's how I am thinking about these god-emperor fantics and the look I want to try and cultivate.

I also wanted to make them wholly different to my Aeldari. I think the AS are the embodiment of the grimdark imperium, so want to capture some of that.

Still a bit in love with my baharroth wings and gems.

Squad goals, family album. A grimdark fruit salad. I still have the fate dealer to do at some stage...

I painted this gal a few months back, but did not like how the arms covered the torso hiding the gems, belts and wot not. So swapped out the arms with some spared from the guardian bits box.

Bought me 2 metal Warlocks. First metals I have bought since the 80s, but they still look so cool.

I love that my side blog that I post on sporadically gets this little token of growth. As always I adore this hell site, the interactions and the wit, and all the inspiring folk out there.

Thanks y'all
