The Emperor Protects ~ Adepta Sororitas ~ A Sisters of Battle Project

IT BURNS!

*****

Hey hey lovely people, I’m back with another post. This time I’m painting the candles on my Sisters of Battle. I have to be honest at first I was like “oh dear” at the sheer volume of candles I had attached to my bases but they are so easy & fun to paint. This post actually marks my bases as complete too. GET IN!

PAINT LIST

*****

• DRY KINDLEFLAME
• CONTRAST VOLUPUS PINK
• CONTRAST MEDIUM
• ARMY PAINTER MATT WHITE
• ARMY PAINTER DAEMONIC YELLOW
• TROLLSLAYER ORANGE
• CONTRAST BLOOD ANGELS RED
• CONTRAST FLESH TEARERS RED
• ABADON BLACK

WAX ON WAX OFF

*****

I began by by mixing Kindleflame with a bit of water (Yes I know it’s a dry paint lol) & added a highlight to the wax of the candles focusing on the drips & top portions of the candle body itself. I then mixed a 3 – 1 ratio of Contrast Volupus Pink with Contrast Medium & applied a glaze over the highlights to blend them in a little.

FLAMING HECK

*****

Time for the flames. I began with a single coat of Army Painter Matt White applied to all of the flames. Once this had dried I moved onto Army Painter Daemonic Yellow. I applied a coat to around three quarters of the flame leaving a little Matt white showing at the bottom. Again this time with Trollslayer Orange I added another layer towards the top of the flame leaving a little of the yellow showing. I then moved onto Contrast Blood Angels Red then Flesh Tearers Red each time leaving a little of the previous colour showing to give that nice layered effect. The finishing touch is a tiny dot of Abadon Black right on the point of the flames for that touch of black smoke. Boom! that’s it, enough candles to light an Elton John concert.

NEXT TIME

With the bases complete it’s time to focus on the rest of the models. I’m not sure if I’m going to do the reds or the blacks first but I know you’ll all be on the edges of your seats in anticipation either way haha

See you on the next one.

Much Love
