But modern synthetic voices sound more human. In the future, computer narrators will sound like Sam Neill or Morgan Freeman.
And why the future? Your narration begins in the past and establishes the Sisters as an unbroken link to the past. Why not some venerable voice? Max Headroom Von Sydow?

Well, that was the choice made when we put this together, what's done is done "-)
We toyed with the idea of having our races evolve from the fantasy Shieldwolf to the sci-fi setting we are working on, but we prefered an alternative evolution of our world's history instead. Starting from the medieval and renaissance eras, things apparently worked out differently and thousands of years later earth (and space) aren't what we think of them today. We started with Italy but we are going to be evolving through the other nations as well; if things pick up fast enough, the 2nd nation will be revealed and fully developed by early 2019, thus new tanks, new troops, new characters etc etc.
End of the month we will be revealing everything we have planned out -along with what you're not expecting :-)
I like the voice just fine. Fancy voices and really functional voice tech is for games like Infinity with the net, and tofu shops, not games with nuns with guns.

How will the Wolf Warden/sisters viking influence work with the new news that the sci-fi sisters are originating from Italian renaissance era :/

The lack of backpack on the fantasy variant just accentuates how massive the shoulder pads are. Unbalances the model a bit In my opinion and makes the pose a bit more awkward looking than it possibly is. The problem is really pronounced when the arms look really long and very skinny.
Some sort of fur style decoration for the cloak around the shoulders and neck would set that off quite nicely.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

The fantasy sister seems to have a pair of two handed weapons?

- Necks are too long, shouldn't stick out like that
- Shoulderpads WAY too big and it's made worse by the angle they're sticking out. I'd suggest looking at Sisters of Silence for inspiration.
- Not a fan of that elongated, thin Bolter nozzle, I understand it needs differentiation from the GW Bolter but I'd prefer other details be changed.
Otherwise I like 'em!

I'm surprised at the positive feedback for the Sisters of Talliareum render (the first one). It looks very awkward to me . The Sisters of Faith render is much improved from before, though!

Yeah they look like they still suffer from giraffe necks but thats solved quite easily with a pair of clippers, the hands on the guns are a big improvement and the shoulder pads on the fantasy one look way too big but ok on the sci-fi one imo, i guess they will stay that way if they are still going ahead with the duel kit!

Please be a perspective issue because I'm really excited for my space nuns.
I think its perspective as the fantasy hands look fine
