Painting the Order of the Burning Chalice

THE SHORT VERSION

Graham Davey uses warm bone armour and red robes to unify Sisters, Inquisitorial followers and vehicles. The armour progresses from grey through brown to bone, while the robes build up from dark browns to red. Repeating these colours across otherwise unrelated miniatures makes the force appear coherent. The scheme deliberately balances a strong tabletop appearance with the demands of painting an army.
