Stuart Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 These look great! The old and new gold recipes both work really well, and I like the couple conversions you've posted. I'll be watching this, even if it's making me want to buy some Sisters that I don't have money for . . .

Pulse Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The gold so far is looking mighty fine! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2749264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S'jet Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hey again guys. Been chipping away at the Canoness between work (which has been pretty heavy this week). Here is the WIP - http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv205/Sjetaj/Sisters%20of%20Battle/CanonessWIP3.jpg I need afew opinions =) First is on freehand... never done any before. Do you think i should do a design along the Eviscerator? And second is the base. I want to add something cool to it, i just cant decide what that cool thing is =) Any ideas will be appreciated.

Olis Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The freehand looks okay, but it needs a little more definition, I think. The eviscerator? How about some faux-latin lettering? Rex something? And the base... hmm... a severed arm? Maybe one from a WHF standard or a zombie? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2753720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I think the model looks great as is, and with your painting skills, im sure you could manage some freehand if you wanted to. It could look cool on the Eviscerator. If you don't like it, you can always paint back over it? As for the base, some spent shell casings? Roll a tube of green stuff, cut it up, paint it brass. Bing-badda-boom... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2753726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That is some very nice rich gold that you have going there...You mentioned thinning the Valejo gold, but with what and how much?

WarriorFish Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 She looks great! The gold makes the model come to life, so to speak. Really makes me wish I could paint as well! :) A design on the evis could look good, but it depends entirely on the design itself. I think simple is best, otherwise the tend to look squashed with too much detail. As for the base, what about some flames/something on fire? That would fit sisters nicely!

S'jet Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks guys, thinking and playing with ideas. I tried chopping up one of the immolator kit decorative panels, but there just isnt enough room on the base to make that work. That is some very nice rich gold that you have going there...You mentioned thinning the Valejo gold, but with what and how much? Mostly the mix i use for thinning and general painting is 50%water, 25% Winsor & Newton Flow Improver, 25% Liquitex Slow-Dri. You can go without the slow-dri tbh, it just adds to the working duration of the paint. I like using flow improver though, as i tend to move paint around. For the gold, hmm, hard to remember now, it was probably between 25%-33% paint to that mix. I use plain water for glazing (as you dont want it to pool too much if poss). Warriorfish - Thankyou =) I took alot longer to paint her than i have on anything else. I've started to suprise myself when I try new things, and dedicate a good amount of time on them. The gold idea came about when I was looking at the NMM article in the White Dwarf (I ordered that issue especially) and Razza mentioned glazing etc the gold, and also seen some other referenes to glazing, and so thought hmm, seems like a pretty important technique to master, and so tried it. I'm by no means an expert, there is still many many things to do with glazes i havent done. The yellow glazes are one of the key parts to the gold on the canoness though, so if anyone tries it, dont skip them, but dont overdo them either =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2755209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftyWolf Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Wow. That gold looks pretty damn nice, next step will be non-metallic eavymetal style right? :cuss I've been debating whether or not to improve the gold trim on my Night Lords for quite a while now... But I don't think I could ever achieve your result. And your canoness looks pretty damn sweet as well. Keep up the good work!

ShiftyWolf Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have been thinking about trying it, but one step at a time =p The fact that you have been considering it just bumps you up like ten times in my book of people who impress me... Every time I see non-metallic gold broken down it just boggles me. Good luck with that by the way. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2755744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S'jet Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 So, i've finished the Canoness. Decided in the end not to add freehand yet. Not happy with afew things, the backpack pole/book mostly. Prehaps once i've finished some other elements of the army i'll come back to it... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2011/5/12/220571_md-Canoness,%20Sister,%20Sisters%20Of%20Battle.jpg Thanks for advice on the base. The bolter casings where made from paperclip, the groove cut by grinding my pliars around afew times.

gil galed Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Definetly the best sisters i've ever seen!!!! Love the living saint. My only negative would be the sister holding up the parchment that is lovely and blank... could really do with a bit of writing, even some squiggly black lines would, imo, make it much better! ~Gil :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2756301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

S'jet Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 So today, apparently, i was bored, and went mental on the side of one of my Rhino's. So yeah, it looks like its really been through the rimmer. My first tank weathering attempt. Used some Tamiya weathering master on the lower half. I may add more, plus some soot once i get the other set. http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv205/Sjetaj/Sisters%20of%20Battle/RhinoWeatherwip.jpg The Fleur on the side still isnt finished =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2758431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I really like that much weathering. Looks like a vechicle mid-war, not the "just rolled off the prod line" that we see most of the time. Keep it up =) It also works very well with the gold, IMO. - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2759195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S'jet Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Yeah, the problem we've got with this colour scheme is the big golden brick effect, and i was thinking of ways to break that up a bit. The obvious way is to change the scheme a little. The tank does need some more white, but i figured the other way to break it up was to do crazy weathering, and i think it will work out thankfully. I really wasnt sure when i first started doing it, but I guess its all about experimentation! I'm sure at some point it experimentation will come back and bite me in the arse, but until then, its all good heh. I will add some white parts with black text on top in certain small area's, to bring in some more of the white from the sister robes onto the vehicles, and redo the weathing over those parts. Just want the weathering done first so i can better decide where and how much white will look best.

araekyus Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The heavy weathering and battle damage are excellent. I say keep this level of battlefield scarring for all your planned armour. and...more plz:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226174-order-of-the-crimson-tear/page/3/#findComment-2759639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The weathering on that rhino looks great! Looks really gritty. Also interested in how your Living Saint comes out.
