Order of the Violet Shroud

Recommended Posts

Been a longtime member lurker of the site and I realize that it's been ages since I've posted anything not to mention the fact that I've never posted any photo's. The bride and I moved to Toronto last summer and what better way to meet like minded people than to bring the ladies out to the torch heretics. I started by taking stock of what's painted and what still needs to be done... why not take photo's and share, I'm also including the original Witchunter army breakdown for when these ladies were originally conscripted... in case anyone is into reminiscing

Hey! Thanks guys.

The purple is the old Imperial Purple (I think that's what it was called). I've been trying to match it with the knight, but I can't get it quite right, and when I got to something satisfactory (as the purple on his armour is now) I can't seem to replicate it... like a twit I didn't write down what I mixed to get there... I'm probably just going to army painter it a base purple and gradually highlight it back up.

Excellent work. By the way, why paint them purple? Are the Sisters members of the nobility/royalty? Do they see themselves as chosen servants of royalty (the Emperor being one example who's also a DIVINITY), and allowed to wear royal colors as a sign of the king/queen's favor?

Purple doesn't have to have any royal connotation, and I've never really seen it used that way in 40K. There really are no Kings or Queens in the Imperium, just planetary governors. Maybe some of them wear purple, but I imagine it's far from standard.

 

TL;DR the purple doesn't have to have any special meaning.

Thanks Warrior, I'm going to put that to use. Much appreciated!

 

That's a great question Bjorn and the best answer I can give is that my Dark Elves are the same colour. HaHa.... but from this point on, I'm going to say just that. It sounds so much better less heretical. :)

There really are no Kings or Queens in the Imperium, just planetary governors.

There ARE or WERE kings and queens in the Imperium. Tanith (of 'Gaunt's Ghosts' fame) HAD a "High King". The Space Wolves Great Wolf (Chapter Master) also holds the title "High King of Fenris".
