Davey80y Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Been meaning to do this for a long time now (most of these minis have been sat in a box for the last year or so) and with the upcoming WD rule set getting closer and closer I've finally bit the bullet. I intend to have this army completed in the next few weeks (lets see how long the pledge lasts) so I’ll be going for a nice black and red scheme (no white on these ladies!!) as you can see from the pic there's a lot to get through, plus all my commission work as well, but I really need a change from painting marines ATM :-) here’s todays update just before they take a nitromors bath :-) http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7110002.jpg ps all the bits are there for these just been lazy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subtlebrush Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Just letting you know I am completely jealous of your Sisters collection there. For your scheme are you going to do a quartered red and black? Because I think they would look amazing in a quartered color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey80y Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 im thinking more black, red cloth, and gold details same as on the exorcist box :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey80y Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 here's the after effects http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7120007.jpg nice and clean!! you can see the age of some of these mini's with teh difrent metal types http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7120006.jpg and as I hate the midget canoness I've converted a female inquisitor (which was also a crap mini IMHO) not sure if im happy with it yet may go back and trim a bit more of the neck line http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7120005.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Wolf Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Looking good man, really like your bases. Looking forward to see some color on them, maybe eventually get motivated to paint my daughter's nuns with guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popkhorne Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 wow i didn't even know it was possible to be this organized with miniatures. bases, and then spray paint? MADNESS! wouldn't you rather just haphazardly assemble and paint things when you get around to it? Also nice models, that cannoness could use some more converting though the head is a bit big.

Nidhogg_Rider Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Will be keeping an eye on this! Slowly getting around to painting up the majority (if not all) of my own Sister's force over the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roone3y Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ahh I love a speed painting topic... and I'll be following this one to see how you get on! Excellent start... Keep it up! Pete :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 You are demonstrating an unerringly efficient and organised approach to this. I therefore conclude you are not human. Now, please stop so that I don't feel bad about the fact that you have painted more in the last THREE DAYS. (I just checked the age of this topic) THREE FLIPPING DAYS. It would take me a good 2/3 weeks to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey80y Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 well this is about it for day Four got all the sisters based up and silver paints on em as well as washes on the metal and cloth my eyes feel like the about to explode so off for a curry and some beers :-) http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp327/davey8oy/P7140001.jpg more to come tomorrow!!

Olis Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm impressed you're getting all this done so quickly - it must be something to do with batch painting such a large number of models in one go. My batches usually are about ten percent the size of what you're doing! Bravo, brother. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 That Canoness looks way better with the neck guard trimmed like you've done. The girls are coming along very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmodai650 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 So glad I stickied this thread. Makes me want to start busting it again on my stuff. I think a little of the light brown or light green static grass on the bases would be a good idea. It's just one more little touch that adds a lot to the figures.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I may have to start a Sisters army again just to follow in your vast and awe-inspiring footsteps. Those bases are excellent. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S'jet Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I like the bases too. Suprised you dont burn out painting this way. Thing with sisters i found is takes a while to paint all the smaller details on them, cant just airbrush like marines (mostly cause of the robes having such a large area). Will be watching! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
