Hi all, this is my first Sister of Battle mini I have ever painted, not the best I've done but it looks good enough for the table which is at times a dangerous place for showcase quality (ie. I'm too lazy to spend weeks on it). The sword was done with pearlescent white so it is all glittery like Edward Cullen IRL. The arms are magnetised so the eviserator and melta pistol are in the works which are far better loadouts but don't look as cool imo. The force will be used as allies for my Salamanders to crush some Dark Angels, erm, I mean enemies of the Emperor right M4cr0Dutch?


Next in the works is probably a Sister Superior, Thanks for looking!


*New photo*
-Added blue glaze and highlights to black armour
-Fixed scar

FANTASTIC.

Lookin good!

Very nice work on the face.

Great work. I especially like the red and skin looks great as well.

"WHY IS THERE BACON ON MY FACE!"

jk

Crisp and beautiful! I look forward to seeing more

Should I be worried that you are painting Sisters inspired by my wife? I'm a bit dissapointed there is no baby bump

Jokes aside, great job. The face is done really well (similar to your Deathwatch Templar, minus the lipstick....). Neat work on the torches as well: I usually hate flames when they are modelled. Surely you are going to do some highlights on the black armour though. C'mon lazy bones, get to it!

P.S. I have some Iron Snakes allies in the works to counter your nuns-with-guns.

The black parts of the armor need some more highlighting, other than that it is looking exelent!

Excellent work! Especially the scar, which I always think is overdone on that particular model. Nice!

I really like this, good job.

I thought it would be harder for you to try and stomp her if she is called Jen =). Yes I resort to psychological warfare seeing as my tactics and dice fail me.

Guess I will have to highlight the armour from the responses here, probably the standard dark blue.

The "bacon face" scar should actually be two individual scars lol, I'll fix it up!

Thanks all.

I havnt seen a SOB look that nice in a long time.

Great job on the face, you really managed to bring the model to life.

I m a big fan of the sisters and this model looks awesome!

Clean and clear, a nice all rounder model

Thanks for the comments/advice all. I've added the new photo with the changes.

That's a great looking model. Kinda curious to see the sword effect, though I wonder if that's difficult to achieve with photographing such a small model if you don't have an expensive camera.

One thing I finally noticed about that model, is what happened to her face? Scar on one side (that somehow miraculously left her eye intact), bionic eye on the other.

At some point, you'd think she'd learn, and wear a helmet.

That's one of the most natural faces I think I've ever seen on a Sister. The armor is, perhaps, a bit flat compared to the rest of the model, but it looks fantastic, overall.

I really love this model and paint job. Better than I can pull off. Never thought to magnatize them being pewter.

She looks good that model is awesome and your skill is awesome, I could learn a trick or two from you!

The black armor looks MUCH better now with proper edge highlights! good job!

Fantastic! I think this might be the best looking SoB I've seen, the face is absolutely amazing.

This is very impressive. Nice work.

Aside from the bacon face comments, getting female eyes/faces to look good is no small task. I commend you.

Amazing work!

love her, the red could use a little highlight but other than that it's great ^^

That's more like it! Not that it wasn't great already

Still no baby bump

Looking forward to seeing some more...

Absolutely love it! I envy you your face-painting skills. She looks very feminine, something GW usually fails at Nice work on the fire too.

One small nit-pick though: you could try adding scriptions onto the purity seals.

"BUT WHY! Why you no highlight!" I should of learned my lesson first time around and not be lazy

No greenstuff baby bump sorry. Not sure what your on about though, the Canoness is named after Jennifer Hawkins .... or is it??!
