Maeve Trinity Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I figured I would make one topic to encompass my creation of my very first army.... and along with it the current "Wishlist" of what it will contain. This list was recommended to me by Fibonacci It will probably change depending on advice or from the more I learn I will bold those I have so far. In the end I imagine this thread will take forever to complete, but I will be posting my WIPS all the way through. If you guys see any errors in the sisters I have so far (bolded) that arent actually what is on the list... please let me know. I am terribly new to this, and am learning on my own, save the help from you all HQ: Saint Celestine Canoness with inferno pistol Troops: 3 X Battle Sister Squads: - 3 Bolter sisters, Heavy flamer sister, flamer sister, bolter sister superior. Rhino/Immolator transport. Fast Attack: 2 X Dominion Squads: - 4 meltagun sisters, bolter sister superior. Immoator transport Seraphim Squad: - 6 twin pistol seraphim, 2 twin hand flamer seraphim, Seraphim superior with powersword and plasma pistol Heavy Support 2 X Exorcists Extras you will probably want: 5 to 9 more bolter sisters (to play with two larger troop squads instead of 3 small) 2 sisters with Simulacrum Imperalis 2 or 3 priests Aegis Defense Line --------------------- My first mini was a Sister Superior with Bolter, which is also the first I finished.... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/Jammy_Dodger/IMG_4882.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeve Trinity Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 hmmmm.... I'm not sure.... but it wouldnt hurt repeating even if I've already heard it. I will take all the advice I can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 K. The Primer lays down the black, which is always handy. After that, mix 50:50 Black and Codex Gray (or whatever the hell they call it now). Use this for a fairly broad highlight along the edges. You can be a bit sloppy, but you will be dealing with that later, so don't go totally nuts. After that first highlight, take pure Codex Gray and do thinner, sharp highlights along the edges. After that, take out pure black, and 'push' the first sloppy highlight towards the edges, until you're left with a very thin dark gray leading into a very thin solid gray. You can see the results in the Templar blog linked in my signature. Simple, and effective. Some problems to look out for- It is very hard to see the first highlight when you're painting it on. It is almost just as dark as the black. Good lighting is a must. Keep your paint thin, especially the second highlight. If the paint is too thick, you'll be left with a very bright, strong contrast, which isn't the subtle fading you're hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Pretty good painting for the first one you have there. I may also help with painting, if any advices needed. But so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
