The Order of the Argent Rose, finished up the second batch of SoB, There's some sepherim where some are ready to paint and some need to get set up on a base and a few more battle sisters that need to get prepped for paint. Anyways here's the finished models.

Flamer and Battle Sister


Heavy Weapons


Meltas


Superiors


Well I'd be able to rest easy cept for that I just realized forgot the gem and handle on the chainsword.

Very well done.

I love the attention given to each bolter shells on the heavy bolters.

Keep it up!

You're definitely getting better at it. I especially like the too-washed white parts on the armor, especially on the feet and legs. It does a very good job of implying that it was white once, but has been under constant use in dirty battlefields across the galaxy.

Getting white to look right is tough, and you're doing a nice job of it.

Thanks! Though I'm curious to what other's think of how i'm doing the weapons with a x3 wash of Brown on the body with a blue wash over the gunmetal parts of the guns (barrle, mag wells, ect) as an attempt to fake the bluing process that is used on some firearms today to protect the metal from corrosion.

I'm glad you like the armor though the armor is intended to be Grey with wash and dry brush highlighting (sorta as a play on the silver armor of the Argent Shroud). The only intended white parts of the armor are the shoulders and helmet crests.

I think the washes worked well as per your comments. What made you decided to go for white and green colour scheme?

Thanks. For the armor colors I wanted to do something different from the red, black, and white color combos that's standard to SoB. I liked the grey armor color I was doing on my Space Wolves so I continued that onto my SoB and because the armor was grey I could use it as a play on the silver armor of the Argent Shroud. The robes were a choice between red or green and ended up going with green as it was different from what I see with normal SoB. Then the shoulders and helmet crest are white have at least 1 color of the color triangle common to SoB.

I like it, especially on the bolt weapons. Not quite so much on the meltagun, though. I think it's because there isn't really any bluing on the rest of the gun. Like, it works really well when it look like the weapon has been parkerized, and then had furniture of a different material tacked on, but with the meltagun, the brown casing looks like the gun itself with a random blue thing out the front.

I'd either go in and blue other parts of the gun (like the part behind the trigger, and perhaps the ammo tank, and the sights), or I'd go with the model you have for your flamer, where it's more of a dirty brass.
