It was prescient to leave this thread out of N&R.

Well, it is not like the rumor was anything else than an occasion to chat about Sisters. Who believe it, seriously?

Well the OP did mention it being a general Sisters thread too.

I thought melta killed by throwing very, very heated air at their target. Heat enough to have them melt.

The thermodynamics behind that are probably utterly nonsensical. Heat the air up enough to actually contain enough energy to melt armor and instead you'd probably just cause it to boil off as plasma and incinerate the shooter and anyone standing nearby as soon as the gun fired, or something equally impractical.

Umm. Yeah. You might be in the wrong place if you're looking for sensible science.

It shoots two different gases, at a very high velocity. They have a reaction together that creates a LOT of heat. And then, undefined science technomagic happen, and everything works!

When something in 40k doesn't make sense I just shrug and go "space magic".

It is not magic. It is techno-space science!

That's only the Necrons.

The thing that makes women's hair goofy is when they cut the front too short. Especially as a bowl cut line. That's what I was reacting to: too short front hair. This is a bad look on just about everyone.

Wait, are you implying that Milla Jovovich didn't look absolutely perfect in Jeanne d'Arc? Take that back, that's heresy!

If you look at the Cosplay model, her front hair goes much longer, and it parts. Very different (and far more attractive) framing of the face.

Sorororitas shouldn't have pretty, girly hair.

Tho I wouldn't mind the occasional buzzcut sister. That would be pretty badass. Problem is, it requires a really good face sculptor to make it work.

Spoiler:

On the other hand, now you're talking!

Spoiler:

Milla is awesome in everything. If you've been watching the Resident Evil movies, she is vastly superior to what any Sister could ever be.

Sisters should look female. Not necessarily femme, but still female. Having seen the recent Gary Morley drag queens, I would prefer cosplay femme.

As for the shaved heads, Amber Rose would be awesome for Repentia cosplay. Yesterday's string bikini picture is NSFW, so you'll have to Google it. but she rocks a shaved head like nobody's business.

"Female" is a sex, not a gender.

And she's a mutant which automatically makes her inferior to the Sisters. Also she doesn't pray to the God Emperor which makes her a Heretic. And during the later movies she was a witch.

Basically she's more like what Chaos would create as an equivalent to the Sisters.

So is just rehasing the same rumor for the past x years about sisters, or is there any legitimacy to it this time around?

The first one.

That makes me sad, I wanted to do a knight/sister army

She's not a mutant - she's engineered.

She's actually a female Space Marine Librarian.

Except not created by the hand of the God-Emperor, and therefore not only an abominable witch but the result of tech-heresy.

Also, not nearly as awesome as a Sister.

Nope. Sisters are roughly equivalent to the Umbrella Corp mooks. She'd cut through them like butter.

Haah... yeah... only no.

Someone fails to recognize how the Emperor Protects. Sisters can keep fighting after getting nailed with just about anything in the game. A Marine can not. Therefore Sisters are the superior ones in this debate.

She has nothing on

Her haircut is not so different from Sisters.
[edit]Yeah, I know it is a wig.[/edit]

+1

Not to mention that Kick-Ass was better than any RE film, and Kick-Ass 2 was about on par with the best RE movies (IMHO).

Please. Hit girl is just a Necromuda Escher Juve.

To clarify, when I said 'girly' I did not mean it as opposite to manly, I merely meant traditionally 'pretty' hairstyle. I want SoB to have certain grim and gritty edginess, that perfectly combed bob-cut just does not convey.

Yeah, that was how I understood it.

I am sorry, but I think you misspelled “making Lelith Hesperax feel inadequate” .

Looking for more of a Pixie Cut look like what Celestine appears to have then?

For reference:

That is certainly better, though what Celestine has seems more like messy standard sister hairdo; she still has long hair on the sides. In any case, pixie cut would be an improvement, but buzz cut would be the best; it conveys being a badass and fits the ascetic, monastic nature of the Sisters.

Nice trolling there .

I really hope the rumors prove true this time.

There needs to be more sisters armies.

Buzzcut is too Scout Marine for my tastes. Bald perhaps, or something simple sure, but not something that the marines wear.

Also buzzcuts just say "military" more than "nun" to me.

Agreed. I'm at least digging mine back out because of the rumors and have finally caved to start allying things in. Namely an Knight Errant and, in time, Black Templars.
