These are the last of the figures from the two Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol boxes.
Nice sculpts, but very weird and I had to refer a lot to the box art to figures out how to paint them.
There are 3 poses for the Repentia figures - with some allowing head variations.
The Repentia are still basically in human form, so were painted in normal flesh tones. Although, as with the much stranger Arco-Flagellants, they have some bio-mechanical parts implanted in various parts of their bodies.
The Arco-Flagellants from the Patrol boxes come in only 2 variations, but with some head variation options. They have much more bio-mechanical parts, so their "flesh" was painted in a sort of "undead" tone. I lightened the flesh basecoat and then gave it a dirty, blackish wash.
I'm holding off on hosting more games until we have our backyard landscaping finish - hopefully in under two weeks. Tired of cutting the grass and keeping it from getting moss and weeds. I do have a Sisters of Battle Exorcist to work on though. Until next time, stay in good health and enjoy the hobby!
Beautiful looking sisters!
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Michal! I'm happy with the way they turned out. Took a little bit to figure out what I was painting. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work Dean ! Fantastic paint-job ! I love the Repentia Sisters , but I find they missed the ball with the Arco-Flagellants & the Penitent engines. They could have made those a lot nicer.

Thank you very much for the comment, Mario! Having no background on the Sisters (or much about 40K in general for that matter), I had no preconceptions about them :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWow! These are amazing paint jobs, Dean! Incredible, really. Good luck with your landscaping project.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by and your kind words, Jonathan. Much appreciated. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThey are certainly a quirky bunch, the sculpting for GW is absolutely fantastic but my they are hard to store !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. I'm surprised that they didn't fall over. They're pretty well balanced. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteAs always, just great!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Vladimir. Appreciate your kind words. Warmest regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteI’m not sure what they are but they look awesome as always.

I know what you mean, Neil. Lol! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteHmmm..very odd indeed Dean - I can see why you needed some guidance from the box artwork! They are beautifully painted as usual of course and I will be interested to see the Exorcist in due course!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! Yes, particularly so since I have no background with Sisters of Battle (or 40K for that matter). They are interesting to paint up, though. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat paint jobs as always Dean! Hope your landscaping goes well.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the kind words, Mike!. Hoping the landscaping is done by early next week, as I want to host an EIR vs Celts Hail Caesar game soon. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking sisters repenta and archo flagellants!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks a lot, Iain! The "Weird Sisters" :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteI popped in to have a look. These are nice Dean, still freaky to me, but love your painting style. That said, now go and paint some more Samurai!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks a lot, Kevin! Sorry for the late response. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThose things are just crazy looking.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree - I would likely never have gotten them if they hadn't come with the Combat Patrol set. I just didn't want to leave them unpainted. :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteNicely done Dean. Great work on the sisters!
