Daughters of Khaine - Hag Queen
For my ongoing DoK army - a second Hag Queen to help pass out that good good Witchbrew to the units of Stab Aelves! The lil skull she’s standing on (and the base) are magnetzed, so she can ride a Cauldron of Blood to war (When Sestia feels like walking, that is).
Really liking my recent approach to the white hair - Contrast Paint! Apothecary White over Grey Seer, then a drybrush of Praxetii White. Saves a TON of time - I only wish I’d had Contrast when I painted sixty bloody Witch Aelves x.x

BIO
Sestia was born into the Khainite orders of the Khar Telva Temple in the Freeport of Keendagger. She was raised from her youth to revere the Aelven Murder-God, serving in both the temple halls and the fighting pits of her order. She proved herself both an able fighter and orator, rising to the ranks of the Witch Aelves where she met her two lifelong companions - The twins Sylana and Ysella.
The trio formed a bond, swearing to assist one another in climbing the ranks of Khar Telva by any means necessary. Through a combination of fighting ability, guile, political maneuvering and outright assassination, Sestia found herself elevated to the position of Priestess-General. With Sylana and Ysella taking their places as The Chief Priestesses of the Blessed Elixirs, the three had taken a commanding presence within not only the Freeport, but the Daughters of Khaine itself.
Sestia is unorthodox in her belief, in that she espouses reverence of Morathi. While publically she pays worship to Khaine, the Priestess-General pays her true homage to the High Oracle. She refers to Morathi as The Mother Of Shadows, the true power behind the Daughters of Khaine.
It is said that Sestia Bloodsinger has fallen in battle before, perhaps many times. Whether these are mere rumors passed through the friends an enemies of Khar Telva, or actual accounts are unknown - as is the Priestess-General’s age. All that is known that when her armies suffer defeat, Sestia is attended by the twin Hag Queens, and a young Witch Aelf is invited into the most private of inner sanctums, never to return. Some suspect that such is the Twin Priestesses’ devotion to Sestia, that they have devised dark ritual or eldritch elixir that can conquer even the power of the deathlord Nagash himself…
