Sisters of The Moonlight

So like I said in my last post, my wife wants to start an army of Sisters of Battle. I'm going to go over what she likes and come up with a 400pt list for our Combat Patrol games me and my buddy likes to play.

These are the colors she picked out.

So she then asked me if she could paint one of my Marines just to try it out. So I let her. But before she did anything I made it very clear that she need to be careful with the brushes and paints.

So this is what she made with my available paints.

 So the hands are painted Elf Flesh because my wife thought they didn't have any gloves on for some odd reason. But she tried her best and learned it was a lot harder that she thought. I love my wife she can be funny some times.

But anyways I'm still working on the 750pt list painting some red company stripes on some helmets and starting off a few more with basecoats. Will post some more when I get some good work done. So everyone let my wife know what you all think about her Ideas.

First Marine Painted

When i started playing 40k in Overseas, we didn't have any models of anything. But we did have an abundance of water bottle caps and the cardboard cases they came in. So that's what we used Bottle Caps and Cardboard. But enough of the back story, now that I'm back in the States I have access to all the models I bought overseas.

So with out further delay I bring you the First Marine I have painted.

 


So the way I did this guy was to first prime Skull White.
Then I did a basecoat of Adeptus Battlegrey.
A heavy Wash of Badab Black.
A drybrush of Codex Grey
Then a highlight of Fortress Grey.

For the Gold trim and Aquila i started with Chaos Black.
Then a layer of Shining Gold.
Followed by a wash of Devlan Mud.
Then a Final highlight of Burnished Gold.

The shoulder pad I started with Skull White prime.
Followed by Regal Blue.
Then a Wash of Badab Black.
and a layer of Ultramarines Blue.

So everyone let me know what you all think about this paint scheme.
