Ok, so that’s absolutely not true, but we all know the jokes that inevitably end with brown trousers…

The Sister of Slaughter (who does have a name but I need to look it up) from the new Underworlds team (Morgwaeth’s Blade-coven) is now done. She was more of a busy project for me, so beyond the Contrast post earlier, I just sat down and painted when I had time. I’m rather pleased with how she turned out, though!

I chose my own colours, based upon a previous mini that I painted many years ago, going with red and purple. The purple isn't as obvious here, as Khamyss (I looked up her name) seems content to wear only three strands of cloth from her knickers rather than the usual loin cloth...

To comensate for the lack of clothing, I painted the whip in the same purple which is actually a colour I rather like. Doesn't show up as bright on darker basecoats, though, because I use a layer paint (Xerus Purple) from GW as a base.

The traditional Lloyd shot.

The sculpted base was a bit of a problem, as I wanted to make sure that these ladies would fit in with my Daughter's of Khaine army (whenever they come into existence) and they would have regular bases. I picked out the fallen statue in black (using Contrast) before glossing over it to give it a bit of a glassy, polished, sheen. Then I did the usualy paints before adding some of the texture paint to flatter areas to help them match the future additions.

All in all, I’m rather pleased with how she turned out and, in particular, how well my one addition (the ponytail) actually fits onto the mini almost seamlessly.

With school mere days away, I probably won’t be posting as often for a while, but I may move back to my Game of Thrans stuff just so I have them finished for when I eventually get the chance to play the game, but we’ll have to see. I may also cut down on the tutorial side of things, too, as that takes more time to prepare and photograph, but that’s a problem for future me; I don’t envy that guy!
