The Spectre project- determining a look
While researching my silent sisters army I also needed to determine a look for the army. Since the base of the army will be the sisters themselves I decided to focus on a paint scheme for them and apply those colors across the army as a whole. While the gold with red clocks are a traditional look, I quickly decided against it. The sisters of silence work in the shadows mostly. They wage a secret war against rogue psychers and malefic incursions in the Imperium. They are unsettling to be around inspiring dread. They often work covertly with the Inquisition. Add to the fact that a recently founded Vigil would be scrambling to train and equip 1k pariahs I don't think gold and ostentation would be in order. Besides I have always liked the original visions of Heresy sisters of silence art like that below. So dark it was going to be. I watched a number of YouTube painting tutorials for sisters of silence and began working out a scheme....
