Junith Eruita - Canonness Superior

She's riding in "The Pulpit of Saint Holline's Basilica."

She is armed with 2 heavy flamers and the "Mace of Castigation." According to the rules, you can only have one of these in an army.
The box art shows lettering in the scrolls with the double-headed eagle, but I didn't want to risk messing it up so left the scrolls plain.
It's a fairly straight-forward paint scheme. The eagle was base-coated with Vallejo Khaki, given a light wash of Vallejo Skin Wash and then dry-brushed with Vallejo Bone White, with a highlight of White mixed with the Bone White. The base and undercarriage was painted black and lightly dry-brushed with gray.
There are many color variations of this model on the internet, but I tried to stay close with the box art for the Order of Our Martyred Lady.
Below is a comparison shot with a Rhino and a Battle Sister on foot.
Next up are the Pentinent Engines, Arco-Flagellants and Sisters Repentia, but have another Black Powder game I need to set up for this Friday. As for painting, I watched a YouTube video on Army Painter Speedpaints - and was thinking those figures would be a good test for it, but see these paints won't be available until next February. Until next time, thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best in health and hobby pursuits.

    1. Lol! I know what you mean, Jonathan. I'm only now learning about these "Nuns with Guns", but really like these sculpts. Kind regards, Dean

  2. Interesting set Dean. The heavy gothic tones on the new Sisters of Battle make for a an interesting "techno-medieval" Catholic feel. Coo stuff.

    1. Thank you kindly, Vladimir! There are several 40K veterans here in the local area - I'm waiting to finish up the other figures to have some games with them. Warmest regards, Dean

  6. Wow. I think that would scare the heck out of me on the battlefield. Beautiful painting (and putting together!) as usual.

  8. Excellent work Dean! A somewhat excentric piece, but fits right in with the Sororitas.

    1. Thank you very much for the kind compliment, Nick! I plan to use it as a "Lesser Warbeast" along with some Seraphim as "Light Missiles" in a Dragon Rampant warband too. :) Warmest regards, Dean

  9. Turned out quite well, and it will look suitably impressive floating along in the midst of your army.

    It is a pity that there is no generic version though. I think GW missed some sales there.

    1. Thank you very much for the great comment. I think the rules have it for Order of Our Martyred Lady only? Yes, it would look great in white or red too, I think. Kindest regards, Dean

  10. This is a real change from what I usually see on gthe blogs I visit regularly Dean, and none the worse for that. I have always like the look of a lot of the Fantasy/Sci Fi ranges out there but the gamiong does not really attract me (plus I know none of my group would be in the least interested) One range I thought was fantastic is called Raging Heroes - see here https://www.ragingheroes.com/pages/the-toughest-girls-of-the-galaxy

    1. Thanks for the nice comment, Keith! It's more of a painting diversion - still enjoy playing (and painting) historicals; but these new Sisters of Battle models look very interesting. I do like Raging Heroes - I have a couple of their Empire lady heroes. Warmest regards, Dean
