Subject: Finished Penitent Engine - Progress of painting over a year!
This is the Penitent Engine I recently finished to bring my Sisters of Battle 1000pts army to completion. I'm really pleased with it because you can see from August last year when I painted the first one how far I've come in my painting.
It's also really special, because it's the first miniature I've taken from start to finish since my first child was born!
Whilst it's the second Penitent Engine I painted, as a result of doubling up on the Combat Patrol Box it was identical in pose to the first so I even tried my hand at a very basic conversion by cutting the joint of the leg and mounting the foot on a 'rock' (painted cork piece!) to make it look different from the first.
It isn't easy to get a decent comparison based on your photos since the colour settings look so different. Still, the recent model looks nice and vibrant. I painted some of these recently so I know how fiddly some of the trim can be
