Awesome looking repressors.

EDC

Thanks much, spent some time planning out exactly how I want to differentiate the different Orders repressors, think I'm starting to really like how this is going.

Got the scroll work and purity seals done except for a last layer of highlights, the gothic portion is actually a few layers of grey that hasn't seemed to show up in the pic. Started with the block work on the gothic upper bit. Hockey to watch....

Looks fantastic!

Looking for a bit of inspiration I got my Sisters army out on the table this morning. Sadly almost everything is in need of basing, repainting, or a complete painting The morning light isn't perfect, but the weather was too nice not to spend some time on the deck.

Inspiring for sure! Now I feel like I need to do the same for P&M thread. Will you strip, base, and repaint all the older ones, or find some way to work them in? Most of them look pretty fully painted in your old order.

They look pretty fantastic drac. Not sure where the need to re-paint is coming from... but if you're willing to do it... I'M willing to watch!

I have a bunch of Valorous Heart Sisters that I started back when first came out. My painting skills are a bit better than they were back then. Other than that I intend to paint out the individual squads to represent just a bit of each of the other black armored Orders to represent a very small crusade force. The Order specific repressors are intended to be a part of this. I'll build my Bloody Rose and Sacred Rose from scratch. Hate to say it, but I have several hundred Sisters that are just in bags that will lend their weight to those.

Thanks for all the comments, dunno about anyone else, but the Plog interaction really keeps me motivated and painting. And on that note, the first Repressor dedicated to the Order of Our Martyred Lady is getting a lot closer to being done. Pics and lighting aren't great, my apologies but I'm just using my phone.

Hey drac, I'm not familiar with sisters all that well. What exactly is a "repressor"? Is it just a sisters rhino or is there more to it than that?

Its a forge world transport for the Sisters. Transports 10, armor is 13/11/10, 3 hull points, storm bolter and heavy flamer for weapons. There is a raised crew compartment that adds to the two base fire points by allowing three additional weapons to be fired from each side.

The FW kit is kind of ugly if you ask me, just plain. I had acquired some eBay rhino's as part of some trades. One conversation with the guy at my LGS about crazy zealot church tanks and a bit of city of death pieces and here you are.

Kind of a nasty tank with Sisters weaponry, especially with 13 front armor. Dominion squads scouting up loaded up with meltaguns can be fun.

Uugh... I can see that.

Got a bit of time tonight and while waiting on a wash to dry I got distracted by some of my original Valorous Heart seraphim. I've been wanting to update the paint scheme for a bit without spending too much time doing it. And came up with a decent enough compromise that turns them into Order of the Martyred Lady.

The one on the left is one of my original seraphim painted way back in 2nd edition, the one on the right has had the robes, gloves, face, pouches and weapons repainted, washed and highlighted with the idea of just getting them done quickly. I have cleaned off the old basing and started basing these up to match my Argent Shroud army so they fit as allies or as part of a multiple Order crusade.


The entire five girl squad with just the one yet to be worked on. I haven't gotten to the faces on the 3 non seraphim superior girls just yet.


I plan on painting my old army up in small segments each devoted to a different Order based off black power armor. So some Martyred Lady, some Ebon Chalice and some will remain Valorous Heart, though I suspect I will change them up a bit just to get rid of the mixed order paint schemes of the original army.

Thoughts and Comments appreciated!

Small update, got some work done on the Valorous Heart repressor.

Dozer blades came in the mail today, so I'll be getting to work on them soon enough.

Seraphim and Repressor both look great.

Got any pics of the dozer blades? Are they 3rd party or from a bits seller? I'm in need of some myself is all, so I'm curious.

EDC

The dozer blades are from modelsandminis.com.

Been distracted repainting my old 2ed/3ed Sisters to bring them more in line with my Argent Shroud figs.

A bit of repaint work done on my old 2ed/3ed Sisters.

Valorous Heart Battle Sisters

They look fantastic dp. A real show-piece! Not overdone either... really love the muted tones.

Actually got to the club tonight for some gaming (AoS my Bretonnians put the hurt down on some Undead) and managed to take a few pictures of my 2ed/3ed Sisters army repainted squads so far. These will be grouping up with some Martyred Lady Retributors, Ebon Chalice battle sisters along with a few celestians and a bit of repentia from each of the four Orders and my repentia themed living saint. Then the Repressor project (six total) and three Penitent Engines to get them to 1850.

The basing is just table top ready, they'll be getting a few rocks added, tufts and then some static grass to match the Argent Shroud living saint and priests. When I get everything painted and ready for basing that is. (Ha!)

Nearing completion on my next Repressor. Once the few bits are finished I will be working on dozer blades to get them really completed.

Excellent work.

Loving those bloody rose dominions. Such a striking scheme. Well done!

Looking awesome dude. Nice idea using the storm bolter for a combo bolter!

EDC

Got the dozer blade on my Martyred Lady repressor and the finishing touches on my Valorous Heart repressor, just needs decals and its done. Thoughts and Comments appreciated!

The treatment of the dozer blade is beautiful! Wet blending?

A wash of aggrax over the base coat, them some stipling and wet blending after that. Glad you like it!

I think it's beautiful . Awesome work.

EDC

Fully agreed on the contrast on the dozer blade, and in general... that army looks great, and your output is impressive (and motivating!).

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Really helps me keep at it, the wife just goes "uh huh, neat..." when I show her what I'm working on.

Got a chance to do a bit of work on my Valorous Heart Repentia Living Saint today. Not sure exactly on the balance of colors across her armor, undergarments, torn/tied robes and what not. The Valorous Heart robe colors don't exactly give me much to work with, especially since I repainted my Valorous Heart BSS squad with all black robes. The pics here are after an hour or so of tinkering with the skin tones, starting to pick out some of the block colors and just after applying the first coats of aggrax/nuln to their respective areas. Wash was settled but nowhere near dry. I picked this Repentia model because her right eye has this haunted, crazed look to it. I spent a lot of time trying to capture just the right shape of eye to make it come through.

Did it work? Thoughts and Comments appreciated!





I tried to focus on the eye with this pic, not much better than the others, but they eye is visible

Got a bit of work done on the Living Saint today. Some block work, detail and washes and some highlights. Thinking of doing black decals on the gray cloak, then washing it to an even darker gray so that with highlights the cloak will have emblems on it but still fit the vibe of Valorous Heart sisters. Thoughts?

Yeah looking good dude.

What colour will the cloak be?

EDC

Thanks. I'm currently hoping to have the cloak come out basically black, though in reality it will be black sisters decals on a dark gray cloak washed with black ink.

It may all wind up being pointless, but I want it to be dark to go with my Valorous Heart sisters robe colors, which are all black. Just with a lot more detail thrown in. Something you don't notice at first but will surprise you when you get close.
