Games Workshop just broke my heart, he battleforce-ish kit is over $1000 the battle sister squad is over $100, i think $115 actually. And don't get me started on the others, a blimmin exorcist is $100!!!!!

I was REALLY hyped for this update. Unless i can find proxies i'll be fairly dissapointed. or i could just say Smeg it and proxy them all with inquisitorial ST's

Well if Dominons still have Scout - thats them sorted - Retributors worked fine as did Serpahs - all three should be the same?

Its only Cannoness, Celestians and Command Squads that seem to be lacking a good role.

@ Thunderfury - there are several armies of Sisters on ebay at the moment which are cheaper.........

ebay? bartertown?

I was rather hoping they would make the pent engines an elite choice as almost everyone else has some sort of walker for that slot,,,oh well,,,,,I just can not believe we are finally getting some attention,,,,just hope they do not nerf the saint.

I wanted to paint some of these and saw the GW site, then I saw the price of a Battle Sister Squad. Yeah... never going to happen.
Are they bloody mental?!

Saving my money for plastic Sisters, or a trip to Spain, should GW decide to Squat them after they fail to sell any models at unreasonable prices.

I've collected Sisters mostly from EBay. Only plastics would appeal to me at this point. I have more than enough models to make a sizable, stand alone Sisters army. I would like a flyer an an assault vehicle though.

Nah, that won't happen. The creation of plastic doesn't hinge on the sale of the metal models. We know that GW tried to make plastics before, but couldn't do it properly. But now, they've said that they have the technology to do plastics, so they can go ahead with making plastics.

The metal one-clicks are probably just a move to increase sales off the back of the new codex. And it may be working, I heard that two people have bought the Daughters of the Emperor collection, supposedly.

With any luck, it means they're clearing out stock as they prepare for a rerelease with sexy plastics next year.

bwahahahaha, $80 for 10 infantry mini's.

LOL yeah was all ready to sell off my metal to get new plastics well glad I didnt sell yet. LOL.

I started wondering how much my little collection was worth with all this hubbub about prices so I broke added some pricing info to my inventory sheet. OOP items and Stern are based on what they roughly cost me. Though I may have paid more for Stern.



So yes, it is expensive, but I didn't spend all that at once and the only time I really shot myself in the foot was when I got into a bidding war over Stern on eBay (yes I realize she may be a fake, but it's a mighty good fake if she is).

I'm still adding to it too (2nd Celestine and 4th Penitent Engine were gotten this week and I'll be getting more Battle Sisters eventually as well).

Makes me a little proud to know that I've managed to collect something worth so much (at least to me).

Looks like other people are finding out what Sisters player always knew all along.

I almost think we need a Slowpoke meme here.

More on topic, yes it's expensive. I don't know any Sisters player who would claim it's not. So glad the rest of the world is playing catch up now.

I wonder if Ork players still try to claim their army is more expensive?

In regard to roles of other units now BSS can take 2 special weapons. As mentioned Doms will still have Scout and Infilttlrate which mean they'll still be betterthan your avaerage BSS but I wonder if there's a chance they might be able to take 4 specials in a 5 sister unit. Probably too much to ask for at this poont but it would be pretty sweet.

BSS could already take 2 Specials, they can just do so at 5 models now.

Man, I felt bad paying 30 for my stern...

Yeah, I got caught up in a bidding war at the time and had more money than sense.

If it makes you feel any better I've been looking on and off for years and still don't have a Stern.

Darn it Clockwork, now you got me looking up my stuff for Sisters, making my head spin.

I'm not even going to try.

I was going to try but couldn't figure out an easy way open that spreadsheet.

Same here - my collection of 40K figures runs well into the mutiple tens of thousands - Sisters about the same as the two listed.

Yeah I was talkibg in regard to 5 Sister BSS. The point is you can currently take 2 specials weapons in 5 Sister dom squads, so compositionally doms and Bss in the new book will be the same (but doms have scout etc) so I'm getting at that it'd be cool to take 4 specials in a 5 Sister dom squad. You dig? Although I think it's too sick that we'd get it.

D

What does digging have to do with anything?

Codex Witch Hunters had 4 specials in a 5 girl Dominion squad.

Heh. If we could sell our models for the GW price, a Sisters army would have been a grand investment.

Don't feel bad. I keep an inventory so I know how much I have of any one things because I forget.

I. Kinda saw this coming they changed the name of sisters of battle to adeptas sororitas like last week

Saw what coming exactly?

Guess you are not aware that Sororitas were released in blisters 2004 and that the boxes were released much much later.

If you think that GW prices represent a real world value, reconsider the pile of sand in the backyard:
