Whew! What a month! I was busy prepping for a wargaming convention making a foam hex terrain battlescape (update to come in a few days) and I was so focused that I did not divert any attention to these ladies. Well, long story short, I returned to working on them the day after the convention. So without any further ado; let's continue.
I believe I left off the last post with the eyes. I do the whites of the eyes first followed by the eye color and then finally the pupils. Without any worry of paint getting on the skin, I was free to go outside of the boundaries of the eyes to do the eyes properly.
I do bot choose flesh colors and hair colors. What I do is a lay out all of my flesh colors and roll a die. I do the same for hair color but there are a few exceptions where I do choose but for the most part, it is totally random.
After that comes lips. The ladies here have their lips either shaded with lipstick or no lipstick. I will let your imaginations run free.
A close up of their facial details.
It Amy not be seen but the next step was to do a flesh wash using the army painters seen in the background.
Next comes basing work. I paint all of my bases the same nowadays so they look good with other armies in my collection.
And then the final steps are to flock them, add terrain details like weeds or paint rocks and such then a spray of sealer and done. First sisters of battle squad and 2 canoness's done!
Last year, I backed a kickstarter from Anvil Industry; their Daughters of the Burning Rose; knowing that Shieldwolf Miniatures really did not make anyone like a Hospitalier, Dialogus and an Imagifier for their Sisters of Faith line and when Anvil Industry started this kickstarter, I backed it to fill out the missing choices for my Order of our Sacred Lady force but to expand upon it with crusaders. 15 of them. I had forgotten their Inquisitor looking figures and the 2 Cyhounds that I ordered for this kickstarter.
The details are sharp and crisp and the resin kind of feels like plastic.
The parts are in 2 different grays but I felt zero resin release so I am risking it and not wash them when I really, really, REALLY should.
The next update this Saturday will show what I have built among all of this as well as progress on 2nd squad. See ya all then!

Complains will be dealt with accordingly. By simply ignoring them. Chao.
