wokkers Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 this is a very different take on the sisters and i like it :eek what colors will you be painting these ladies?

jester_prince Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 My only gripe is the heads, everything else looks great. I understand WHY you used that specific head but to me it just makes them look like dark eldar, otherwise these would be fantastic conversions. Mabey you could try throw in some half masks like the ones in the artwork, or green stuff some original sisters masks in there. Otherwise fantastic, and I actualy prefer these to those ancient and ugly sisters models.

Captain Mike Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I agree with Jester Prince. The heads look too dark eldar. That said, I don't know what you could use instead. Games Workshop is lacking in plastic, female heads! The thing that draws my attention, oddly, is the bolters. They look the right scale in thier hands. Bolters are supposed to be massive for a human, and these capture that idea brilliantly.

Mal Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Im more leaning for the pointy shoulder guards as being distinctively dark eldar, in those images they have curved shoulder guards, but all yours are pointy... perhaps you should experiment on one with some gs..

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Look great so far! I can't wait to see them painted! Just to add some more variety, Have you thought of using DCA and calidus? with some GS they could be really near the art work methink. Tchezz.

Dusktiger Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ah, your doing a sisters of silence detachment. right on. i dont think i've seen anyone else make one of those before. myself, im horrible at GS, it always messes up on me. but if you have rotor drill, you could use that instead to smooth up the tips on your shoulder pads to match the reference pics you chose. especially how it has them just end suddenly instead of stretching out like the DE ones do. and if you have some plasticard, you could make the layered effect in the 2nd pic by putting little strips over topof the pads to make a second layer, and rotor them to be as smooth as the original pads. that might be something neat to try for the pads, if your not at your painting stage yet. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166355-sisters-are-doing-it-for-themselves/#findComment-1959253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Gothard Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Dude, that is INCREDIBLE. Right up there with the dude who did a similar army with Dark Elf Spearmen parts. Very, very cool. I cannot wait to see this painted up!

Erik Crowbreath Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 i like them, an have no qualms, i also like the scale the bolters give. i question, how will the dogs be made? seeing as all Gw dogs are rubbish, and their wolves dont look much like dogs...
