xFallenx Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 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 Sisters of The Violet Shroud 3,668pts HQ Units: ~ Celestine ~ Jacobus ~ Heroine; Banner Bearer; Imagifer; 2 Storm Bolters; Immolator ~ Priest ~ Inquisitor; Acolyte; Sage; Crusader; Servo Skull; Penitent; Chirurgeon Elites: ~ 9 Repentia; Mistress ~ Vindicare Troops: ~ 10 Storm Troopers ~ 9 Sisters (Heavy Flamer); Repressor (Repressors never got past the assembly stage as I overestimated my molding skills) ~ 10 Sisters (Heavy Flamer); Repressor ~ 10 Sisters (Heavy Flamer); Repressor ~ 7 Sisters (Heavy Flamer); Rhino Fast: ~ 8 Seraphim (Flamers) ~ 8 Seraphim (Inferno) ~ 6 Dominions (Flamers); Immolator ~ 6 Dominions (Meltas); Immolator Heavy: ~ 6 Retributors ~ 2 x Exorcists ~ 2 x Penitent Engines http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0775_zpsjbafmhis.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0776_zpsocxhaplb.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0777_zpstkfvgcuh.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0778_zpsnld38bgo.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0779_zps2q0vyp8t.jpg WIP's: Karamazov Chuergeon repentia 3 Inquisitors 3 Plasma SS 8 Sisters 1 Bolter & Chain Sword SS 1 Bolter & Maul SS 2 Bolter & Sword SS 2 Crusaders 1 Priest 3 Servitors with Plasma Cannons 1 Jokero 2 Servitors w Power claws 1 Crusader Knight 1 Aigis Def line http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0780_zpswcpddto3.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0781_zpsbp39nqw5.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/_Fallen_1/IMG_0782_zpsmcqvzrfm.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331030-order-of-the-violet-shroud/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Wow! Looks cool :D Really neat color scheme. Welcome back to the B&C, well, at least welcome back to posting. Have fun burning the heretics! :P Hopefully we'll see you around the Sisters forum in the future.

WarriorFish Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 An impressive collection! The colour scheme works nicely, in particular I like the purple. What colour is it?

xFallenx Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 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.

WarriorFish Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Looking at the ever useful colour conversion chart, Naggaroth Night would be the replacement? The colour doesn't look right on the page, but the hex code wouldn't necessarily be a perfect match.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 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?

Servant of Dante Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 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.

xFallenx Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 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. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331030-order-of-the-violet-shroud/#findComment-4658220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's a nice colour, I think I will get that paint for my own schemes! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331030-order-of-the-violet-shroud/#findComment-4658244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 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".

Shifte Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 King and Queen are definitely used in the Imperium. The role of Planetary Governor has multiple names based on the culture of the planet. Only one Emperor, though. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331030-order-of-the-violet-shroud/#findComment-4658789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xFallenx Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Seriously. The driving is something else. I can't even begin. The city itself is seriously amazing though, so it's easy to put that sithshow out of mind.
