Sister Oh-So Repentia





Somewhere south of the equator

After putting it off for several months I finally decided to paint the Rhinos, Immolators and Exorcists for my sisters so they are now more then their white undercoat.

However I don't know what colours to paint them.

The colour scheme for my sisters is as pictured. Gold armour, white robes, black guns.
Most tanks I see normally have the colour the same as the armour of the soldiers but a gold tank, imho, would probably look bad.

My army is mechanised with at least a third to a quarter on foot and so I tend to have a few tanks around the place.
I'm looking for a scheme which would fit with the rest of the army and I'm loath to just keep experimenting with one tank as was suggested to me by one person recently.

Any help?

Black with gold trim and red detailing sounds about right.

Too much gold would make it look knick-knacky.

Are you using metallic gold on your Sisters? Because if not, a light brown like Graveyard Earth actually looks really cool on a white undercoat. Give it a brown wash, do some cool streaky weathering and stuff, lighter highlighting, and they'll be awesome.

I second the reversed scheme for the tanks.

Bkack hulls, and red detailing sounds about right. You could use the gold on banners or something like that, in order to tie them in more with your army.

Don“t feel bound by the supposed norms of using the same main color on everything.
