Dosjetka Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Lovely work. Also, the fact that you bought your whole army from GW makes this extra special. Looking forward to the next update :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Cheers Mate! Recently I've been roped into painting a load of terrain for the campaign, hence the lack of updates. However, that job has now been completed and the two mini squads have been finished bar the basing. So expect an update in the next couple of days!

Sith’ari Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Evening all! After a couple of setbacks with the basing (AKA completely hating how my original idea turned out) it's finally update time! Now unfortunately, I took waaaay to long in painting these first two squads, which means I'll have to play with my Black Legion force in the campaign (dodges purifying flames.) But, on the plus side, it means I don't have to do a rush job on these wicked cool minis! Right then. Presented by the miracles of knackered old camera-vision, here's what I have painted so far: Squad Luminara http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/f94371b0-5906-4d69-a6ed-e48c63b87b49_zpsqwaysxu8.jpg Squad Jocosta http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/2c7aa580-25c6-4192-9250-2db4685ebbb9_zpsejnmkyjj.jpg Next up on the painting table is a pair of Immolator's, which hopefully won't take as long to paint! :D Cheers!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I love your work. A pity the hairstyles are all the same, with no option for individualism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 They're not, though. Some have partings, some don't. Besides, individualism? In Imperial nuns?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm Chinese-American. After being bombarded with whitewashed heroes, I appreciate seeing racial and cultural diversity among HEROES. Those who think "Black= Evil" or "Dark skin= Evil" can go themselves with the Teeth of Terra. (I'm looking at all the fantasy writers who think "dark elves"- specifically DARK SKINNED elves- are the epitome of evil, like many who write for 'Dungeons & Dragons'.)

*Furyou Miko Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 But there's no race issue here, since Sith'ari's models are painted in a variety of skin tones, and race has nothing to do with hair style. Quite apart from that, technically the Adepta Sororitas are Lawful Evil by any absolute alignment system, so heroes? Not really sure it counts.

Sith’ari Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Yeah I'm not entirely sure that I understand what you mean regarding the hair mate. They are after all warrior nuns and there isn't much room for individual hairstyles in that monastic way of life! :D Cheers for your comment on the painting though mate- I appreciate it! B) I've started work on the Immolators today, so it won't be too long before the next proper update. Damn painting sisters is fun! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Women of African descent have curly or "kinky" hair. All the Adepta Sororitas have straight hair. Do those with curly hair, spend Emperor knows how much time each day, combing their hair to be straight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Much more fun than painting hundreds of boring Marines, ne? Yes. Yes, they do, Bjorn. In other words: Race politics have no place on the bolter and chainsword, as they violate the forum rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 · Hidden by *Furyou Miko, March 9, 2015 - Baiting Hidden by *Furyou Miko, March 9, 2015 - Baiting Women of African descent have curly or "kinky" hair. All the Adepta Sororitas have straight hair. Do those with curly hair, spend Emperor knows how much time each day, combing their hair to be straight? Clearly in the future some have straight hair. Considering there are something like 20 Quadrillion people in the 40k setting I think we can stop assuming what people can and can't have based on modern day assumptions. Chances are there would be a lot of genetic mingling over over 39 millennia. Basically it's just a silly thing to complain about. Link to comment
march10k Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Beautifully painted models. I'm not really a fan of the varied hair colors, though. Feels suspiciously individualistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak for yourself, I perfer the sacred Bleaching myself. ;) Your guys are looking great mate. I have 30 sisters close to finished on my table atm, hope you have not forgotton about our little challenge. Now get those Immolators painted. ;) I will say though, tanks arte allot quicker and easier to paint than troops in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlutterPie Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like to paint my VSS and Cannoness in different coloured hair. All the rank and file gets the holy bleach job but as a sign of rank the officers get a bit more leeway in their dye jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterOffShred Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 All of mine are redheads. They were inspired by Jean Grey's Phoenix look. I like those Odds! They say it's like 1-2% of the population carries the recessive red hair genes, and I imagine in the grimdark it's only gotten more rare as mankind has washed out the gene pool over 38,000 more years. As Ive been researching a SoB army, I've spent hours looking at every female miniature I can out there on the internet, and I've come to the conclusion that painting female hair to look legit must be hard. I really like your ladies Sith'ari, they look fantastic! -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Recessive genes aren't going to "wash out" of the gene pool anytime soon. I mean psykers are rarer than hen's teeth and they still pop up all over the place. The Imperium runs at least 21,028,100,000,000,000 strong. I think having an Order of Sisters who only selects red heads isn't that impossible. Heck the low ball math thing I did (50% of 1% of 1% of 1% of the entire Imperium) put the number of Battle Sisters at like 10.5 Billion strong (a mere .00005% of the total population, as a comparison that's like having 300 Battle Sisters to the entire population of the United States. It seems like a big number until you realize how comparatively small it is in context). I think that's still enough to field an order of red heads if someone really wanted. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I approve the idea of the Order of the Ginger Ombré. Someone should get one that. Also, your Sisters are looking awesome, Sith! You've done a great job of keeping like 3 pose models looking individual and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible, if we knew how they were recruited. Of course that'd take the "Gingers have no souls" thing (with all the Sisters of Silence having red hair and being Blanks) to a whole new level.
