troile Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So, I used to be a Warhammer Fantasy player and never got into 40k (despite several attempts). I stopped when Age of Sigmar was released, and tried starting 40k a few times, but I was the only 40k payer in my local gaming store. Fortunately though, the situation has changed and there are lots of 40k players around where I live, so it's time to dive in the hobby again. Yesterday, I got my Combat Patrol in the mail and started painting the canoness immediately. It took a few hours, and the result is a bit too messy to my liking, but I'm pretty pleased with the color scheme: Next step: painting the flagellants.

FelipeFlops Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Like the colour scheme! Definitely doesn't look messy! I think if you were to put a little highlight on your gold it'll bring back a bit of the shine which the wash has taken away. Beyond that I wouldn't change anything. Look forward to seeing your flagellants.

WAR Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Welcome to Bolter & Chainsword @troile. Your Canoness looks great, and I agree a slight highlight will make the gold pop back out. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next.

MasterOfAardvarks Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 An excellent start, welcome to the future-y side of wargaming! And I'm really not seeing any 'messy' parts in that paint job, the only change I would make is a thin highlight of stormhost silver on the metallic sections just to get the gleaming nature back on the metals.

troile Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Thx for the positive comments, guys :) I will add a quick highlight of silver on the gold tomorrow. This afternoon, I got to work on the Arco Flagellants. I'm pretty happy with the results. It's getting a bit late here, so daylight is not good enough for a decent pic right now (details aren't showing very well), but this should give you an idea of what they look like now: I also started working on the penitent engine. I recently switched my metallic recipe from Leadbelcher - nuln oil - Stormhost silver drybrush to Leadbelcher - Black Templar - Stormhost silver dybrush and I got to say: I love this scheme. It's easy and looks pretty good (even though lighting quality kinda messes up the pic) toaae and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374850-new-adepta-sororitas-player-painting-log/#findComment-5842513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I am digging the arco flagellants I'm doing a similar thing to my armor for my sisters but I'm using vallejo gloss black, Vallejo metallic color, and Gw deathshroud clear (all 3 through airbrush) and then paint black templar contrast.

troile Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 I still need to do a few highlights and corrections, but I'm almost through with the penitent engine.

MasterOfAardvarks Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 The metals on the PE look oily and well-worn, I hope that the Penitent Engine either has some of that same red the Flagellants have, or gets some. My tablet is dying, so I can't get a good look at the pics.
