Finished some more of the Sisters from ebay (and some more just arrived as well) Here they are and with a group shot.

I like the style you were going for but it's a bit dull, I almost feel like it needs a contrasting highlight to finish them off.

Very cool scheme/style otherwise!

I use the same armor color for my marines and the razorback had a n issue with the weapons blending into the armor and a second layer of wash helped with the contrast. I decided to do the same with my sisters and it seems to have helped.

I like the muted look of the armor with the green contrast. Basing looks good too, just not crazy about the edge being blue (I'm a strictly black edge guy, personal preference).

My only criticism is the skin color of the sisters. Looks like the tanning bed at the monastery is getting some serious use.

overall, the color scheme & theme is awesome, but i agree with phoenix darkus- there needs to be another contrasting color in there. you don't have to overuse it, but i think that touches of pink would help. just little bits, like on some lenses or light casings. it would pop a lot and add so much to the model. if you don't want to go for that extreme of a color, i would suggest gold on the trim (or the SoB's badge on the backpack. otherwise, awesome!

Yeah, I was going to say, the original pictures look like they need a wash.

Also, you may want to consider going back into the green and highlighting a bit with a green color, to get more saturation in. It's easy for white/grey to make the rest of a miniature look washed out, even if it isn't.

As much as I would like to keep the green lenses and lights, I have to agree that using a red as the lens color would be a better choice. I have 2 reds that I can use, the only decision would be to use an orange or yellow as the lens highlight.

here's an image of my cannoness who has several red purity seals.

The Green and White is really effective - great work

Did up one model with red for the lenses and scopes. If it works to add that touch contrast color I'll finish up the rest of them and get on to the others that I have to work on.

Also added another layer of brown wash to the bolter with a light layer of blue wash to attempt to get a "bluing" effect on gun finishes.
