Sometimes you're just not in the mood to paint. It happens to all of us at some point or other, I'm pretty sure! So I find the easiest way to ease back into the process is with something familiar, and to just enjoy the process or take the opportunity to tweak a couple of things along the way.

The Order of the Sacred Rose have a reputation for being difficult to paint due to their white armour - well, now you've seen two different methods on the channel which should get your Sororitas on the table as quickly as possible without sacrificing too much in terms of looks!
