hushrong Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I like her! She's got that proper battlefield grittiness look. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299968-hospitaller/#findComment-3880215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Is this part of a larger force or a one off? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299968-hospitaller/#findComment-3882663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I only have this model right now. I might have two heavy flamer girls somewhere, but I'd need to find them first (and they'd be painted identically anyway). If there are plastics one day, she'll be part of a larger force if they don't update hospitallers or I don't like the eventual new model. Not looking forward to ripping her off her base to put her on a Dragon Forge Design one when that day happens though...

Machine God Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I like her! She's got that proper battlefield grittiness look. But she's left her Bolter at home, silly thing!

chaplainmikey Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I really like the muted tones, gives the model a very sombre feel, which is perfect for the model in question. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299968-hospitaller/#findComment-3885966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 But she's left her Bolter at home, silly thing! Of course, she needs to replace it to get chirurgeon's tools! According to the current codex anyway. No idea how her power pack-less cardboard-thin armor counts as power armor though... I really like the muted tones, gives the model a very sombre feel, which is perfect for the model in question. The wonders of three generous layers of Nuln Oil on Dawnstone for the black and another one on everything else! Thank you.

BLOODSAINT Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I dig that, is it custom? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299968-hospitaller/#findComment-3886144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I dig that, is it custom? She's official I really like that sculpt. I might get one on order next week to go with my Celestine and Canoness I've said it elsewhere, but very nice work!

Knight of the Raven Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 ...Well, look at that. She was available from Games Workshop in the first place. Should have checked before buying on ebay. And I wish I could sculpt like that, haha. I'd make so much stuff for Lord of the Rings dwarves and eaterlings it wouldn't be funny. Thanks for the comments. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299968-hospitaller/#findComment-3887945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Nice. Full force of Sisters in the works?I've been umming and ah-ing over a couple of Sisters for Killzone (read Killteam with better rules) games. They'd have so much utility as Adepta Sororitas, Inquisitorial warband members, and a couple of them could even work as Inquisitors/Interrogators themselves...Plus I really like some of the sculpts. This model's one of them. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299968-hospitaller/#findComment-3888050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks. Nope. My metal budget goes to scouring ebay for out of production Lord of the Rings dwarves and my plastic and resin one to Raven Guard. I think the hospitaller is my favorite Adepta Sororitas model out of all the range.

hushrong Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Oh man...when a squad of sisters went from $40 (the last time I bought some) to $80 that killed it for me. If they get plastic I would be on it in a heartbeat. I may also copy the way you did black for my Sons and my Ravens.

Knight of the Raven Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 I tried the same method on Raven Guard scout armor and it was a nightmare of tide marks, so I'm not sure that'll work on space marines. I was forced to paint the scouts with Army Painter Matt Black.

K0rtmer Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Wow, what an amazing piece of work. Absolutely stunning! I'm afraid the pictures you took don't at all do your paint job justice. But it's still clear to see that the face is extremely life-like and the black and white tones work together beautifully.Is there any chance you can advise how you painted the dirty white? I'm assuming it's not as simple as a base coat and a black wash?

Knight of the Raven Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 You assume wrong. Every color on this model is a basecoat completed by washes. Black: Dawnstone -> Nuln Oil -> Nuln Oil -> Nuln Oil Gold: Gorthor Brown* -> Auric Armour Gold -> Seraphim Sepia -> Nuln Oil Metal: Leadbelcher -> Nuln Oil White: Uthuan Grey** -> Nuln Oil Flesh: Army Painter Barbarian Flesh -> Ogryn Flesh -> Nuln Oil Green: Army Painter Greenskin -> Nuln Oil Red: Army Painter Dragon Red -> Nuln Oil I painted all basecoats on the model, then gave the black two layers of Nuln Oil, the flesh a layer of Ogryn Flesh and the gold a layer of Seraphim Sepia, and finally washed the entire model with Nuln Oil once more. I used the Citadel Large Brush for all the Nuln Oil layers, and those are generous layers too. I never expected such praise for a work without highlights. I'm a little surprised. Thanks though. As for the pictures, I auto-tone all of mine before hitting Brightness +50 and Contrast -50 with Photoshop. *a brown base is needed for the gold to be applied properly and consistently. ** Ulthuan Grey >>>>> all pure whites.

K0rtmer Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks very much, Knight of the Raven!Let me put it like this: I never expected such a simple recipe to work this well. I'm open to the suggestion though that I'm reading too much into your images – which I assumed to be of, um, sub-optimal quality, judging by the sharp edge contrasts. I might have been blown away by what I thought gets lost in your pictures. But, anyway. I totally love your Hospitaller! I'll look into using Ulthuan Grey as basecoat for my off-white cultists to come. Thanks so much for sharing!
