Kaethien, Mother Superior

Hello everyone I'm Kristobal on this blog (also known as Wolidor or unknown as Christian Hardy)

You might wonder where you saw those miniatures before, well they were on "the Blog dé kouzes" during the Advent calendar 2017 in December with Les Kouzes and their awesome warband ! 

But now, I would like to make more heroes ( and units .... and "behemoths" ... )  for this warband during the coming months / years, so I collected the awesome pictures that Morback took of my first 5 miniatures and to start I will make few articles about them, and after that I will update with small articles about sculpting step by step, painting; or just showing the progress of my conversions ... please dont hesitate to ask questions I will try my best to answer you ! 

Of course this blog won't be exclusively about my warband, but everything about my hobby, so my armies ( DEATTHHHH POWWWAAAAAAAAA ) and few Golden demon entries ! Hopefully, more stuff in the future. And obviously it the blog of my two chaps, Morgol and Ninlives So I hope you will enjoy the adventure ! 

For me it's a perfect excuse to produce and to share my hobby. Enjoy ( PS : thanks a lot to Morgle and Ninelives for the blog and everything )

The first thing that I wanted to share with you was how I started this warband.  At the begining, it was mainly playing with bitz , but it bring me so far now on my project ... !

You can recognize few bits, the main is the Inquisitor Greyfax, the head come from on of the seraphim who follow Celestine, the Hammer head and the shield ( and the book ? probably from the flagellant kit ) come from the kit of the War Altar, The handle is a Drukhari lance bottom, there is few small bits too but I dont really remember ( the bird skull is probably from Ahriman's kit ).

For the hair and all the green bits it's Green Stuff, I might do a step by step of how I use it and what product I use with it sometime one day !

For the paintjob I will "just" give you few recipes, I'm quite intuitive when I am painting so maybe I will be wrong or not totally exact !

Skin : Cadian Fleshtone  with a wash of Seraphim Sepia and lightened with some elf flesh

Blue:   base Sotek Green, shade of Coelia Greenshade , light of Sotek Green and edge and battle damages with Blue Horror

White : Base of Layer Administratum Grey lightened with Ceramite white or white P3 with a drop of white ink Liquitex

Gold : Greedy Gold Army painter, Seraphim Sepia and Agrax Earthshade to give some volume and lighted up with Greedy Gold and edge with Greedy Gold + Mithril Silver

Silver : Gun metal Army painter, shade with Nuln Oil and light with mithril silver, with some very diluted Sotek Green to give a little blue reflect on the armor !

The bases are the Shattered Dominion 25 - 32 mm round base.

Favoured pupil of the Archbishop Hasonbeorn, she lead her Light-Sisters to war. In peace time, she manages security and guard of the sacrosanct Basilica. Kaethien received her spiritual and martial training from the Archbishop Himself. Looking up to him durian all these years, she became akin to a daughter to him. This paternal love however, is no condoned by the rules of the Basilica, allowing only the adoration for Sigmar to exist.

Kaethien officiate in the Order of the Light-Sisters as a Superior Mother. Her promotion to this title was incredibly fast, due to her uncanny ability to hunt down heretics. The former Mother of the Order was condemned following a closed hearing trial by none other than Kaethien herself, when she was only an apprentice. None knows the charge count, but the execution was approved by the archbishop himself. Was the heresy proven or was it a case of political maneuver, none knows. The answer lies maybe within the secret archives of the Grand Maester.

Har'la the gryph-hound follows her everywhere, also trained in tracking her scent.

Only the faithful !  

Kristobal

P.S.: thanks Morback for the pics
