Adepta sororitas exorcist and colours rundown

 A quick article because I never posted the picture of this little tank after the tutorial for the marble, but I did finish it after many, many hours!

Nothing really new on this but as many people requested, is the rundown of the colours used for the different parts:

Main armour:
Base Petroleum grey, highlight Gobi brown, then white sands, pin wash of oil starship filth and pick the edge with white sand

Chipping is rhinox hide

Blue cloth:
Base dark prussian blue, highlight phtalo blue then blue green, finish by adding a touch of white.

Black:
Usual recipe. base with black highlight with dark sea blue then highlight adding white 

Copper:
Decayed metal, wash strong tone, highlight with stippling a mix of pure copper and old copper, finish the edge with moonstone alchemy 

And you should have most of the recipe !

Fun fact, painting closed eyes is actually really hard...

I'll post later this week, an article more focus on my general hobby update and what's happening during those strange times.

Keep safe and happy painting !

Adepta Sororitas - Order of the Ashen Veil

Jumping back in time to the release of the daemon hunter codex in 2003 (gosh that's a long time ago😵), I said to my gaming group I will start a sororitas force the day GW made them in plastic.

And to be honest, I kinda lost hope it would happen one day, until 2 years ago following the first massive survey they ran and so many people ask for the release of plastic sisters.

Two years is a long time to keep your motivation and interested, I went back and forth on them not knowing if I really wanted to start a new army after painting my primaris. 

But in the end the miniatures where so nice and so much to my liking, I couldn't help myself. 

Not everything is perfect, but after the very flat primaris, I happy to return to something that is much more 40k for me, much more grim dark.

After this decision, I had to debate with myself, whether to go for one of the main order or to do something different. I really loved the bloody rose but I didn't want to paint another red army. 

I decided to challenge myself to try something new and different from my usual painting. 

I choose a yellowish bone armour, with a bright dark blue to contrast, the colours are opposite on the colour wheel.

Since the armour has a yellow tint, I choose to do the metallic in old cooper to have different tone,

Following my brainstorming, I quickly went to work on a test subject.

For the base, I tried to represent a luxurious planet similar to catachan or naboo with the ruin of ancient temple where the sororitas are sent to bring the population to the imperium.

I know a few of people aren't convinced with them, but the universe is vast 😜

Next I started working on my first squad, so many details and a few more textures and colours to decide. And learning how to do marble, since I haven't done any marble in like 15 years.

I'm really like the look of the squad, though in the end, I choose not to do the order symbol at the bottom of the cloak and corrected my test model.

I needed a HQ and what better hq than the canoness, the original and only sororitas leader !

I made a small modification to the miniature since I wasn't a fan of the original head, I used one of the sequitors head from AoS instead.

Let me present you Canoness Georgina in all her glory

Since I've got the army box and received a few kit for my birthday, may more are coming but those miniatures takes times so, you'll have to be patient to see the rest 😝

As a small teaser, I'm working on this bad boy now...

I will take picture for the next marble I do, since I've been overwhelmed by the return I had on this one 😅 

Until next time
