Introduction
Same Kickstarter, same minis. For the office cadre, I decided on something special: doing them all in the habits of different orders, for quick identification on the field of battle.
Prime & preparation
Prime Grey Seer. Paint the bases . Paint the common parts as for the regular nuns: shoes, skin, face etc.
Officers
The brown and black habit of Carmelites. Black as for the regular nuns; the brown starts with Wyldwood.
Simple power weapon: base silver.
Glaze Guilliman Blue, gathering towards the base. Wipe off from the end of the blade using finger.
This sword has no power node, so I dropped Nihilakh Oxide right in the groove at the base instead.
Finally highlight the brown with Beasty Brown, then mix in Khaki.
Stormtrooper officer & psychic nun
The left one armed with nun-chucks (hue hue hue) is going to be a Tempestor Prime with command rod. Totally WYSIWYG. I put two layers of Gryph Charger Grey over Grey Seer emulating the House of Virgin Mary and called it done.
The psyker shall be a Sister of the Incarnate Word - there is just something about communion with the warp and spreading the word that tickles my imagination. Black as above, and basecoat the habit Flesh Tearers Red.
Highlight with Gory Red, then Bloody Red. Aethermatic Blue in the eyes for a low budget glow effect.
Mother Theresa and the Holey Ghost
Apothecary White, highlight Ghost Grey, superhighlight Dead White due to the large white areas. The Holey Ghost (a ghost... with holes... get it?) stays like that, but the superior commander gets to be a Sister of Charity. Not a coincidence.
But first... do the plasma pistol (same as the special weapons nuns) and the ghostly glow using Hexwraith Flame in and around the eyes and mouth.
Use Ultramarine Blue for the hem and stripes.
Soulstone Blue for the bionic eye after varnish.
Finished!
