Hi guys, the next 15mm 40K army off the ranks is the Sisters of Battle, I am using Prydians from The Ionage, I bought 2 packs of the females and a male command pack, I have converted the males to female, and added details, they aren't finished, they will all get tabbards, I have 40 of these, the pics aren't that great, they will have Rhino transports, and maybe a small walker or 2, some jump pack troops, and maybe some allies, what colour do you think I should do them? I was thinking to make them as close to the 28mm version of doing them Black with red material and white hair and details, but I also thought white with pink material and details would look good, thoughts?

Classic colours look best |

Nice work. Go pink with the paint job. |

Tough choice I think both would be great – my preference would be classical black, but my humble suggestion would be to paint up one fig each in the colours and see how you like them – that's what I did for my Space Marines project |

I hear that black is the new black. |

Base color black, red, or white… then pick out details. Those seem to be the classic SoB's colors. |

Nice work. My vote is for the classic SoB colors. That combined with your conversion work and they'll really stand out as clearly being SoB's. |

If you chase down the 3e 'Witch Hunters' codex, there were several different color schemes for the 'Nuns with Guns'. If you go with black, I'd actually start with something like Panzer Gray and wash it darker. |

Maybe purple or magenta instead of pink. |

Great conversions Gunner,
Love the backpacks.
I see you used Trench 2114 Power armour for your heavies, good choice as they're chunkier.
I'd use opposing colours like blue or black vs yellow or orange.Green vs yellow would look nice also.
Use a colour wheel for this, at least that's what I use. Z |

thanks guys, leaning toward traditional black with red and white. |
