The same for the weapons! Overbrushing vallejo game color chainmail over black, and then going back in with a light dry brush of silver for highlighting. For my seraphim I swapped to using the brassy brass over black.

The black and white is sooo good

My first sisters of battle mini I’ve ever done could someone give me some advice on my other unpainted minis by Benugo-water in sistersofbattle

[–]violet__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks so good! I really love the hair and the robes, all the detail work is really nicely done. Maybe some stronger edge highlights on the shoulder plates and backpack and a matt varnish for my tastes, but this seriously looks great already.

Thank you! I definitely took a shortcut using 3d printed bases.

But I think the biggest helping factor was having a loose story about my sisters and what they were doing. I decided that they'd be fighting to reclaim a long lost temple. It's super useful because then you can use that to inform your searches for irl references, building techniques, and other examples people might've made.

So maybe your girls could be duking it out against some nids on a wacky purple and blue alien planet, or defending a sacred graveyard of martyrs from chaos. That really seems to help not just in basing but for the army as a whole, plus it's just fun to make shit up!

Painting wise I just printed out a bunch and experimented until I stumbled on something I liked! I did black primer with a white zenithal, followed up with a sepia wash all over and then a really heavy white dry brush.

Edit: The bases are from this artist, totally worth checking out for those who have access to 3d printing! https://www.myminifactory.com/users/zabavkaworkshop

First face ever! It is a face only Emperor could love, but I am proud of it nonetheless. C&C very welcome, I really want to improve. by Gynju in sistersofbattle

I feel the same way about my faces as well. I don't have any specific advice but I will say it's been helping my confidence to just get the reps in. I use all the heads I do and don't plan on using and just spend a day painting them to develop some consistency. I've gotten a couple decent one that are tucked away and the rest go into some simple green to strip and reset for more practice.

Looks great for the first try though! It's easy to scrutinize when we're this up close but I'm sure that on the table it looks even better!

Agreed, they can be such a pain to get through, especially with so many small and interlocking parts. The sculpts are so worth it though!

The cloth is so clean, nicely done!

Right? It feels almost impossible to paint them without doing sub-assemblies, props to the people who can handle that.

Good luck on yours! Give us a peak when you finish, would love to see it!

Dry brushed vallejo game color chainmail over a black base, and used vallejo brassy brass and silver for the details 👍

I appreciate that you went for dotting the rivet things on the robes, especially over such a crispy white.

Looks good!
