Exilyth Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think once they come out in plastic I'll be grabbing aquiring a squad or two of SoB (and a cannoness) to ally in as narrative reasons require. Looking at the SoB images accompanying their rules in 3rd edition chapter:approved book and in the CA2018 beta codex, it looks like paintschemes for the orders mostly consist of the following colors: black red gold white silver combinations of the above ... which look good on the models. But with how paint scheme = rules with most (sub-)factions nowadays, I think I'll be better off rolling my own order with their own paint scheme. I've looked at the sisters resources thread and found the thread http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271890-sisters-of-battle-painting-converting-love-etc/ which contains some great pictures and has some interesting alternative paint schemes: blue/white blue purple/white silver/white light gray/green If anyone has/knows other alternative paint schemes for SoB, please do tell/post.

ValourousHeart Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 This is an old photo, I later added some silver to the weapons to break up the bronze. But GW has changed their paints since then, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something different this go round or just continue with this pattern.

Doctor Perils Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Not got any pictures (or models for that matter... yet), but my DIY Sisters Order is going to be based on some hindu cultures, so I was planning on giving them saffron, yellow, red (and possibly other) Sarees, colour coded to Hindu symbolism depending on the sister's role in the order - this would make for a bright and colourful order, and could be a nice change of pace from classic Ordos Majoris Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355091-unorthodox-paint-schemes/#findComment-5292227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ficinus Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 My Sisters are the reverse of ValourousHeart's, with the armour in red and the cloth in bone/beige.

Slave to Darkness Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Im thinking of using the colours I used for my old Bretonnian army, silver armour and a quartered yellow/black design on any cloth. Or maybe half black half red on the armour? Ahhh choices choices.

Atrus Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 My girls have naggaroth night purple armour with gold edge/trim and dark purple robes with red inlay and gold trim. I've recently taken to making the leather corset shades of red, and gold on the studs and zip.

If you're lucky I might be able to align the stars and actually post some pix, but I wouldn't hold your breath for the quality. Of either the photos or the paint work. Also, there's a bunch of sand/crème/khaki involved on things like wings and purity seals and the recessed bits of tank armour.

Ezr91aeL Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 When plastic sisters will come out I'll paint a full force of my home-brew order (the Order of the Celestial Retribution) in black and brass with yellow vests.

Servant of Dante Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 You can do whatever combination of colors you want, but going off the major orders you’re right that the sisters use black, red, white, and then gold and silver trimming and basically nothing else for their colors. I prefer to stick to mixes of these colors when coming up with a color scheme for a minor order.

Brother Tyler Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 You might want to check out the Liber Sororitas Ordos Minoris and the Tabula Sororitas. Both include a number of DIY orders (the Liber Sororitas shows many while the Tabula Sororitas links to articles with pictures). My own DIY Adepta Sororitas order is the Order of the Faithful Sword, which uses dark blue and metallic armour as the primary colors along with halved orange/white clothing.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I may be a bit late joining this thread, but mine are in blue and blue. That said, when the plastics come out, I'm thinking of starting a new force with red armour, black robes & white linings - like how I did this inquisitor.

Exilyth Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Please don't hesitate - if you have a paint scheme which wasn't mentioned/showed yet, I'd be interested to hear/see it. I may be a bit late joining this thread, but mine are in blue and blue. Different shades of the same color is something I didn't consider yet. Thank you.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 OOOO nice! @ Dr Ruminahui - I really do like the scheem on the Inq, Thanks, I'm glad you like them. Please don't hesitate - if you have a paint scheme which wasn't mentioned/showed yet, I'd be interested to hear/see it. Different shades of the same color is something I didn't consider yet. Thank you. Glad to know that they were helpful. As shades of the same colour, I think it works better with cooler colours (like blues, greens and purples) than hotter colours (like reds, oranges and yellows) as hotter colours tend to blend together visually when next to each other. As well, I think combining a cooler and a hotter version of the same colour works best, as it provides the highest contrast. I think mine would have been better with a bit brighter light blue (or at least some warmer blue highlighting). Finally, when you are doing variations of the same colour, contrasting spot colouring is even more important. For my models, this is in the form of the white fleur de lis and the gold and red on the rosaries and pendants, as well as some brighter hair colours.
