Mordheim 2019: Sister Superior one painted

Sigmar's Fury.

After finishing painting the first sister in my Sisters of Sigmar warband for Mordheim 2019, I quickly jumped into painting the next, this time one of the heroes, a Sister Superior. This sister was converted from one of the original Sisters of Sigmar models from 20 years ago. In homage to the original warband from all those years ago, I decided to paint the model in a scheme that was reminiscent to those models, with cream colored robes accented with red. Despite largely being a single piece metal model, the Sister Superior took much longer to paint than I had expected.


I wanted her flask of holy water to stand out and provide some additional color to the model. It was painted using blues from a Scale75 paint set.


Although most of her shield is taken up by the Comet of Sigmar, I still was able to paint a few sigils.

Although quite different in paint schemes, I think the two Sisters complement each other well.


Although the second Sister is now finished, within a week of finishing the first, there can be no rest for the weary. With less than a month until Mordheim 2019, I have no time to spare, and I have already begun the next. Any comments would be appreciated, and be sure to check back soon to see the next painted Sister!

  2. Great stuff! Your conversions improved the model while keeping the original spirit and the colors used work great :) The face is my favorite here, you did a great job on those wrinkles and eyes - she looks very determined and experienced!

  3. Great work here. The painting of the cream cloth has a very textural quality that really helps to make it seem more real than the usual flat miniature painting. A whole warband painted to this level will be amazing to see.
