Fibonacci Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Fini Ready to burn some heretics. Which brings up the question:What do you burn besides heretics?

WarriorFish Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Fantastic work Fib, I hope you're proud because you should be! I will be adding it to my new ideas folder if you don't mind for inspiration when I start devising my Knight House colours. I must also curse you though Fib, you're really not helping my plan to refrain from purchasing one until I clear my decks! In answer to your question: the other thing you burn is xenos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287365-sisters-and-knights/page/4/#findComment-3623457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks. It's about average and not near as good as other people can do but it at least looks ok on the table. [edit] Did you notice I gave her a fleur de lis on the cheek?

WarriorFish Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I disagree, it's better than average. The colours are good and the white looks nice - I don't think I'd be brave enough to do such a large amount of it :P I especially like your use of the SoB transfers - looks very heraldic. Don't worry, I looked quite closely so I've noticed all the details ;) Can you fill me in on what you did with the base? For example the colours you painted the sand and the grass? Getting the right colours for bases has been something I've not been great on.

march10k Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 That is a gorgeous kaniggit! I'd like a better look at the non-aquilla shoulder... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287365-sisters-and-knights/page/4/#findComment-3623587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fibonacci Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Can you fill me in on what you did with the base? For example the colours you painted the sand and the grass? Getting the right colours for bases has been something I've not been great on. The base is mostly cheap craft paint. First painted burnt umber. Then coated with a lightly thined layer of Elmer's (aka PVA glue) and sprinkeled with sand of your choice -- this is a mix of Woodland Sceneic's coarse balast and frac sand I am in the middle of the Texas oil fields after all. But any way ... Top with another thinned down glue to hold it all in place. Then paint with a burnt umber thined 2 parts water to 1 part paint. Dry brush with a medium brown (Brown Sugar) and finally dry brushed with a light beige-ish brown (Linen). The fallen column pieces are painted Codex Grey then given a brown wash -- Agrax Earthshade would work but I used the burnt umber from the craft paint and thinned a left over bit to about 10 to 1. Dry brush Fenris Grey then Ulthuan Grey. The grass is GW's scorched grass. Edge is Valejo's German Grey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287365-sisters-and-knights/page/4/#findComment-3623661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks Fib, all my armies have a base scheme currently but a new opportunity will open up when we get plastics and I paint up a new scheme :D I also second the request for a close up of the left shoulder!

thade Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 After review, this thread has been reopened. All off-topic posts have been removed. Please stay on topic going forward, or this thread will be permanently locked. Please remember that we have a diverse community here and that we all share one thing in common: our love for the Emperor's most righteous Sisters of Battle (and how they may engage their loathsome foes). While we may at times disagree with one another, it's important to always be mindful that the things we may say can carry more of an edge than we might realize, that ad hominem and directed responses are not constructive, and that mutual respect for one another is the hallmark of the B&C. <3 ++ EDIT.

The back half of the left shoulder is another Imperial eagle just like the right side. I'll take another shot of the left when I get a chance but I still have a couple of honey-dos to finish off first.

WarriorFish Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks again Fib, it's good to be reminded that sometimes the simple ideas can be just as good as a fancy technique I just need to dig out my transfers for heraldry ideas if only I could find them. I've dozens and dozens of them, you'd think they'd turn up easier Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287365-sisters-and-knights/page/4/#findComment-3624649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I finally got myself a Knight! I'm going to paint it in Ecclesiarchal colours and present it as a Freeblade who is really into the Emperor and the Imperial Creed. I have plenty of Sisters water transfers to help the look along too, since I rarely bother with those on anything else. I'm thinking the big super melta version would be best, and also stay in theme with the "Holy Trinity". So I guess the question here is have those of y'all who run Knights with your SoB developed any insights about this now that it's been out awhile?

deathhasdignity Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Loving the knight, must not buy, must not buy, although it does sit well in a sisters force - most not buy :-( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287365-sisters-and-knights/page/4/#findComment-3763570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Got to say mate, your knight is looking damn good. Its strange how simple always seems to work. I should really get around to painting the 3 I already have. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287365-sisters-and-knights/page/4/#findComment-3775263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
