Every Rose Has its Thorns

Here's a little something from Svarog Miniatures.

They have an ever expanding line of figures, which you can find here:

As you can see, these figures have a ton of unique character.  They would make outstanding additions to several types of 40k armies, or Necromunda, Dark Heresy RPG, etc.

They also come with their own decorative base, so it saves you some time as well!!!

I look forward to painting many more of Svarog's miniatures!

Mother Superior from Svarog

I have been painting some of the Svarog Miniatures Sisters of Battle off an on since they arrived.  This one is called Sister Superior.

If you recall the original unboxing post, these are resin figures, and each figure comes with its own sculpted base.  I will snap some images of these side by side with typical metal GW Sisters.

Different Sisters, new primer

Here's something from a miniature Company called Svarog Miniatures.  

This is a set of four different Sisters of Battle possibilities... be they Inquisitors, Canonesses, Sister Superiors, etc.

They are resin kits that also come with sculpted bases specifically designed for each miniature.

The kits did have a few pieces, but it seemed to be pretty easy to get all of that together.

Also, not lots of crazy mould lines in impossible places, which was great!  That could have been possible with the relatively complex nature of the poses.

They come individually boxed like this:

This one was my personal favorite.  I am looking forward to painting all of them (in my green Sisters of the Raven scheme) and adding them to various squads.

Since all of the GW flamer Sisters are exactly the same, it is very nice to have this one.  However, I think I will be using it as a Heavy Flamer to add to Retributors, Dominions, etc.

This one is an unusual pose, but it could make a very interesting Mistress to lead a batch of Repentia.  I have tons of those, and this would be a nice change from the ancient metal version!

More flaming death!

The scale of these gals works just fine with the existing Sisters.  When these are painted, I will be sure to have side by side images with GW Sisters.

This is also a new product for me... from Badger.  This is their new primer set.  I had heard many good things about it, and I think it is a winner.

I primed the above resin miniatures by brushing on the gray (have I mentioned once or twice or a thousand times how I love gray primer?!)  Those miniatures were straight from the package... no soaking, no washing.  The primer stuck right away, and was very solid.

I was even able to water it down in some places to get a little more control in very detailed or less robust parts.
