Satyr Art Studio launches Little Sisters of Purification first run sale
Worn robes, pale flesh, and grim iconography make Satyr’s Little Sisters of Purification a strong grimdark canvas, and the 5-model set is in a 10% first-run sale.
Worn cloth, pale flesh, religious iconography, grime, and weathering are the first things the Little Sisters of Purification ask a painter to think about. Satyr Art Studio has put the 5-model Chaos Series set into a 1st Run Sale, trimming the price from $67.59 to $60.83, and that launch window makes the figures more than a new add-on for the shelf. It makes them a ready-made project for anyone chasing a moody, grimdark finish with deep shadows, controlled edge highlights, and battered surfaces that can carry a story.
Satyr Art Studio says it is a small LLC based in Michigan, ships worldwide, and runs its sculpting and domestic fulfillment from Lansing. The company says its Oldhammer Project has focused since 2018 on metal miniatures designed to complement the nostalgia of classic 1980s figures, and it describes its releases as hand sculpted and hand cast in white metal. Shipping is flat at $5.50 domestically, $15 to Canada, and $20 elsewhere, with free postage on orders over $200.
The pull of the Little Sisters of Purification also comes from where the idea came from. The figures reference a 1988 article in Challenge Magazine No. 36, a GDW publication from the company’s bimonthly futuristic gaming magazine line. That issue included the scenario Sunstroke by Roger Hamlin, and RPG sources describe the Little Sisters as a female chapter of Space Marines. Matt Ward publicly pointed out that the source material comes from issue 36, while community replies have already framed the minis as Rogue Trader-era marines with an old-school, backpack-free look.
That is exactly why the set feels useful to painters who like their miniatures to do more than stand there. The shapes invite grimdark choices in cloth tones, pallid skin, tarnished metal, and dirtied basing, while the religious and zealotry-heavy read gives the whole line a strong narrative anchor. For painters looking to push a Blanche-inspired approach, this is the kind of release that rewards restraint, contrast, and atmosphere in equal measure.
