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.
No idea what this is but, WOW, it is impressive.
ReplyDeleteLol! I know what you mean, Jonathan. I'm only now learning about these "Nuns with Guns", but really like these sculpts. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteInteresting set Dean. The heavy gothic tones on the new Sisters of Battle make for a an interesting "techno-medieval" Catholic feel. Coo stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Jake! I agree about the look of these 40K ladies - "techno-medieval" is a great description. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSpectacular and gorgeous Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Phil! Your visit and kind comments are much appreciated. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteWooooow! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Michal! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWow, that is incredible! You are truly fwarrior-monk of painting Dean :) Do you have any other army from WH40k Universe to fight with these packs of fanatics?
ReplyDeleteThank 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
DeleteWow. I think that would scare the heck out of me on the battlefield. Beautiful painting (and putting together!) as usual.

Thanks, Neil! They do look somewhat intimidating with their black attire and serious countenance. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome work Dean ! They all look amazing !
ReplyDeleteWish they were mine. :) :) :)
Greetings
Ah, thank you so much, Mario - you're too kind. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteExcellent work Dean! A somewhat excentric piece, but fits right in with the Sororitas.
ReplyDeleteThank 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
DeleteTurned out quite well, and it will look suitably impressive floating along in the midst of your army.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity that there is no generic version though. I think GW missed some sales there.
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
DeleteThis 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
ReplyDeleteThanks 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
