As you know Sisters share mare similarity with space marines.

But without new codex or new miniature, its hard to say no to the nice
stuff SM has.

Would i be able to field SOB as SM then? if i keep the WYSISYG rule?

I really wanted to make a SOB Redeemer, MORE FLAMER! every sister's dream :3

Might be a cool "counts as" army.

Sisters as Marines is a proxy army.

As a super serial army? No. As a proxy, sure.

Still, sisters get a lot of fine toys to play with. I wouldn't discount them yet. Lots of burny things, and plenty of cool comboes thanks to allies.

Proxy yes, Rules, no. All marines are male.

do they have a penor , and will they still count as male / marine if i castrate them?

Hey don't blame us that the typical female body doesn't have enough room in it for all the extra organs. It's all those o.e.(original equipment) organs already in the way.

i dunno why you'd wanna play marines for sisters, they have a great codex.

Yes they do thats why im doing just that o_o using sisters to play marines.

Marines have sausage but no eggs.

Also, Sisters probably have a better ruleset anyways, so you might as well use that.

Making them all counts-as doesn't sound like it would have much of a point to it.

I just want to add SOB conversion onto Redeemer and their dreds T-T

or land speeders ( have Imperial Guard land speeder rofl xD )

Doctor Thunder here built an entire female Space Marine army that was fully converted. I don't have a problem with female Space Marines... for their fluff I would say they came from an alternate universe and crossed over during an anomoly (sp?) during a warp jump. However I would expect the army to be fully converted like Doctor Thunder's Black Widows. It would be a big project but also very cool as Doctor Thunder can tell you.

Sure you can Proxy Sisters for marines as long as your opponent okays but can not do it in any "serious" or "competitive" play. Also why would you want to? Sisters are great

No problems with female marines, but I'd think you'd need to heavily convert the figs so they wouldn't be seen by the opponent as a WH army.

If you can track them down, look for Shockforce Battle Nuns. Picture 2nd ed. marines that are female and wearing habits. It works, though they're definitely funky.

thanks hehe, was planning on using current WHunter minis. not really interested in blackwidows, i hate spiders.

I still say no because every sister model would have to have a big dent in their head to represent the decreased intelligence.

I just honestly confused to why i wouldn be able to

*other then confused with WH?

though it doesnt really matter....

Just a simple switch between Male power armor into female pwoer armor really.

Luna, Have you ever read how a space marine is made? The black carapace?
Some guys fantasize about what it would be like to be a SM. Not me. wouldn't go through that just so I could live for thousands of years as one of the emperors eunuchs. Not on your life would I do that.

Now as a proxy army I agree with the rest.

Which are you asking for, proxy or serious for tournament?

Yes i know about the carapace and the huge difference between SOB and SM [fluff] wise.

probably as proxy but more like modeling preference :"P

If you can run a Genesteeler Cult using the Ork Codex in a GT, then there shoudn't be a problem with SOB Astartes.

I guess the only real problem is that instead of actually saying they are marines, you are saying they really are the regular Sisters, but with Marine rules... which is more of an excuse than a fluffy plan...

But what do I know, I'm planning on using Steel Legion models as Horrors.

uhm you read my sentence wrong, im asking why would you play marines when sisters have a great codex.

No. Sisters are Sisters, Marines are Marines.

No. Sisters are Sisters.

And why can you select both options? Is that there for the indecisive people among us?

BYE

@OP: No need to create a relation between models and rules. Have fun, go for it.

JohnHwangDD wrote:Sisters as Marines is a proxy army.

Ditto.

I'm fairly open to the idea.

The main reason not to is that the SoB is already a well known army so lots of players will constantly confuse the SoB/SM as SoB even if you tell them the SoB are proxying as SM.

As long as you don't try it at a tournament, only the most closed minded wouldn't allow you to do it. Perhaps doing so will cause you to want to start your own 'real' spaz marinez army.. HURR...


It's your hobby, your models and your friends. Don't let us determine what you are going to do with them...

Thank you for the kind reply . All the comments opinions are taken in 100% , because after all

i made this post to see people's reaction if im to sell off my army in the future.

I wouldnt want to convert a bunch of SM vehicles with Sisters bits on if no one will buy it :x

For collectable conversion peices, go for it. Can't wait to see.

Have you considered a combined force, with th WH as the lead. The SMs would take on similar paint accents and you could decorate the dreadnought and redeemer with bits from SoB vehicle spru's
