So this year i decided to make a sisters of battle force. I really liked the look of the army back in 5th edition when i had commission painted the classic pewter line for a local, and had decided if they ever came out in plastic, i'd make a force of my own. Part of the draw to the army is the overall aesthetic, and the iconography for the army is very close to my family's coat of arms. So naturally, i pulled inspiration from that to decide on the army's livery. To start off, the main battleline sisters will look like this: Silver armor, with blue robes. the lining of the robes will be white. the faceplates are also white. Finally, black gloves, and all weapon casings will be white. the army painter is a little outdated, but, any of the metal garter belt things the models come with will be gold, and the buttons on the robe skirt and sleeves are silver. as some of the chests come with clasps, those will be gold with brown leather where appropriate. Next is the Sister superiors. all of the Fleurs, and whatever decorative design is on the rebreather, will all be painted gold. and the corsets are painted black. It's a shame only the retributor squad comes with the fancy backpacks for the superiors, as i wouldve liked to use those on all the superiors. I havent decided yet if i feel like making Dominions different at all or not. I might keep the standard colors so i can mix and match weapons as the collection grows. However, I did decide top make Celestians differ, since it seems to be the norm in the new codex's artwork. So for these, all the fancy decorations and the backpack trim is gold, and the robes and corsets are black, with blue lining. This design was basically copying how OoOML examples in the codex looked. Lastly, the Cannoness. So like the Celestians, these get all decorations in gold. The corset and the robe lining will be black. That's it for now on the livery, i'll post more as i decide on what i want to put in the collection so i have a basis on what to buy first.
