Painting a Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol

It is nice to see how popular the Sisters of Battle battle remain, after being an army so long in the doldrums when they were metal.

What I find more interesting than the power armored Sisters though, are the disturbing figures like the penitent engine and the arco-flagellants. I feel Warhammer Grimdark is best when it’s messed up. The arco-flagellants are right up there.

These were painted to Showcase and Exhibition quality.

Paintedfigs is a miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.

And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).

Sisters of Battle: An Order of the Bloody Rose 40k Painting Commission

Some Sisters of Battle painted up to Exhibition Quality.

I’ve not been fond of the Order of the Bloody Rose color scheme because I feel it needs a bit more green to balance it out. Normally you see green lenses, plasma glow, and instrument panels. These look good - but they are smaller details and therefore painted bright so they stand out. This I find comes off a bit gimmicky.

Here we got to use a bit of dead grass (matching the client’s basing reference). The muted green worked better I feel. It balances out the red and feels more natural.
