Crusade!
Silent Sisters of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica
Taking a break from the Wolves and dipping back into the Burning of Prospero box, thought the Sisters of Silence would be a nice change and a chance to try painting gold armour that was distinct from that of the Custodes, with more of an aged look to it, so put together a squad of greatsword-armed Vigilators.
So the steps here were:
- Prime Chaos Black
- armour – Balthazar Gold
- skin – Pallid Wytch Flesh
- gauntlets – Mephiston Red (a shout out to the old look of the sisters from the Horus Heresy art books)
- cloak – Xerus Purple
- sword hilts – Screamer Pink
- Wash the whole model with Druichi Violet
and then to finish up:
- skin – layer Pallid Wych Flesh, leaving the wash in the deepest recesses
- armour – highlight with Hashut Copper
- gauntlets – layer over with Mephiston Red
- fur – Celestra Grey drybrushed with White Scar
- gemstones – Waystone Green over Stormhost Silver
- sword pommels & crossguards – Retributer Armour drybrushed with Auric Armour
- sword blades – Leadbelcher washed with Nuln Oil, highlighted with Runefang
Later I also did a squad of Witchfinders – who doesn’t dig a whole squad of Flamers? I do want to add a squad of Bolter-armed Prosecuters, and eventually bump all 3 units up to be 10-woman strong.Would be nice if they got a 40k HQ unit though…..
