So I meant to post this ages ago, but I managed to stick to my guns about the black/gold color scheme for my Adeptus Sororitas.  After consulting the lovely people over at the B&C, I finally managed to make my test sister look up to how I wanted.  The key was distinguishing between the black of the armor, gun and hair, warming up the face, and a liberal amount of grit/orange ink on the armor and changing the base’s color.  I’m excited to extend this to the rest of my 20 sisters!
