That's pretty cool- I especially love the way you've done the cloaks. I hope we still have some sort of Battle Conclave / Henchman Warband in the new codex so we can keep running them!

I like those. You should cross-post them here, since once the Sororitas codex comes out, I suspect this thread will flare up briefly and then die an ignominious death, but people will always have need of Sororitas heads without bob haircuts.

these are 3D prints prior to cleanup and casting, the final product will shink about 10%

but I though they might appeal to sisters players looking to convert

I'm more willing to bet their looking to Guard players who want to convert, maybe even the female Space Marine crowd, but when it comes to Sisters there isn't much we can convert that really works.

ClockworkZion wrote:Guard players who want to convert

That was the first thought that came to my mind as well. Those are looking to have some good potential for stuff like female Cadians!

If it hasn't been asked already, somebody should ask the Digital Editions Facebook what time the codex will be available for download. I'm hoping it'll be another midnight release like the preorder was, but it'd be nice to know.

I'm sorry, but they lack the sacred bowlcut. They are simply too heretical to use.

But yeah, they'd be superb for female IG.

All GW releases are midnight UK, the only thing that breaks that mold is the iTunes codex which uses midnight EST for the release of the the codex here.

Thanks ! Also, we seem to share the idea that a power sword must be blue/white .

Hey, they are supposed to add in more stuff, not remove like they did last time !

So is that midnight tonight UK time or tomorrow night midnight? Sorry for the daft question but I'm really confused.

It releases on Saturday so Tomorrow night.

People are really on tenterhooks, aren't they?

Right now you're the only reason
I'm not letting go, oh...

You'll trigger a landslide

How I think a lot of Sisters fans feel right now.

PS: It's Paramore, "Born For This" -- the whole song's really Sisters-appropriate in my mind, actually.

That's great news!!!

Well, after vowing not to touch it, I have been well and truly sucked in. A new dex, even in this limited form for £20, really quite good. Looking forward to whatever limited changes we get on Saturday.

I do like those heads.

I've also irrationally caught the fever - I was ordering an overpriced will-probably-break-the-first-time-I-use-it hobby drill from GW yesterday, and to make it up to free shipping I chucked a paint pot AND a metal Canoness in there too. Don't even collect the army. Just want to paint it, and be part of the cool gang.

Sisters -sorry, Sororitas- are very cathartic to paint for me. I sometimes find them easier to paint then my orks, because painting metal is so formulaic it eases some of the tension out of it.

Though I do tend to obsess about touch-up jobs sometimes...

Speaking of ordering, I'm waiting till Saturday to get an Exorcist. Ignores Cover and Skyfire/Intercepter would be great, but on it's own it's a great vehicle.

People complain about my Exorcists being OP already. If it gets Ignores Cover, I think people will lose their minds.

Revenge is a dish best served at the tip of a missile fired from a giant pipe organ bolted to a Rhino chassis. With a side order of sweet potato fries.

Yeah, skyfire/interceptor and IC would be waaaaay OTT. Exorcists are already ridiculously awesome.

I find Exorcists to be in that perfect butter zone right now. Just expensive enough points wise to keep them from being cheese, and just good enough to keep them from being worthless.

Though I won't protest any buffs we get on top of that, even if they're just purchasable upgrades.

I agree that they are where they need to be. People whine, then I compare to a Triple Las Predator and show the comparison. That usually gets a grumbling and reluctant agreement.

I don't care how they address the skyfire / interceptor situation as long as the provide some sort of anti-air for the girls other than an ADL or Bastion.

I am really hoping they get some sort of assault vehicle, even if it is a Storm Raven. However, I just don't see that in the cards.

I just broke down and pre-ordered by codex, so I guess I can stop my wondering in a day or so.

But in the mean time we can wonder aplenty!

I can live without an Assault Vehicle if it means taking MORE Marine toys. Valkryies fit better IMHO as they're general Imperium, not Marine specific.

Valkyries are not general Imperial, they are Imperial Navy only. They are exactly the same as Avenger Strike Fighters and Emperor class battleships.

We get ASFs, so why not Valks? Sisters have a good relationship with the Navy.

[dual post - I thought the system kept that from happening?]

And Sisters can take Avengers and have Imperial Navy ships dedicated to their service, so I see no issues here.

And I meant general Imperium as you see them in more than just one factions hands since the Navy supports damned near everyone.

When it happens, don't edit or delete. They system removes one automagically.

And the poor guy gets ambushed!

Sisters players apparently hunt in packs!

My point, which I obviously didn't express well was that they are not general Imperial, but Sister would still have access to them in extremis.

pretre wrote:We get ASFs, so why not Valks? Sisters have a good relationship with the Navy.

Well, ASFs in Forge World's world.
But even so, there still is that quote about the Convents Prioris and Sanctorum having their own fleets.

Lots of people apparently think the Navy and the Marines are the only factions that have spaceships. Hell, even the Space Cops have their own cruisers.

I'll probably pick it up on my Kindle app... hell I need to go to Kinkos for some mass printing any way. May as well get my "new" codex printed out along with my Feng Shui game books.

Sky fire for Exorcist? One other Troop choice? Saint making Seraphim scoring/troops would be wicked!

I dont understand why people think Saint Celestine should make Seraphim troops, if anything she should make Repentia Troops as she used to be one herself. She never even reached the rank of Seraphim if I'm not mistaken.
If anything her presence should attract Repentia trying to follow in her footsteps desperately trying to find redemption.

Canoness with jump pack making Seraphim troops is a more acceptable fluff reason.

How could they follow her, she's a Jump Unit? (har-har!) Maybe if they gained fleet too? I do see your point about Canoness and do hope they give her back the Jump Pack option. Regardless of how, scoring "Jump" troops would be true to the fluff... and good for filling your FA slots with Dominion squads! Could also just bring back the damn Stormtroopers howbout? Or, and I know this sounds crazy, Redemptionists maybe? Keeping my Aquila crossed!

Really ?
This fits way better imho :

Especially considering that line :
“forevermore in debt”
“forevermore in debt”

Exactly what will happen to anyone trying to start a Sister army right now !
