It's just a Rhino chasis with a turret... so yes, yes it does.

Either magnetise the raised plate the turret is on, or just take the turret off and replace it with a standard Rhino Hatch.

The immo kit even comes with a storm bolter cupola to put in the turret's spot so you can use it as a rhino.

The immo with the top plate on and the "this is a sisters rhino" turret cupola is very close to normal rhino dimensions, too, so it won't hurt you to run it at all, and it looks a lot better in sisters colours than most of the marine chapters.

Played another game last night (40k two nights in a row. Woo!). Another win this time against my brother's Orks, we went to 1750 and he let me just Jacabus and two pentient engines to my 1500 pts list, so it wasn't a legal list as I has 4 heavy slots and was 10 points over but he wanted me to use the P engines they're cool models.

Anyway we played a battle missions mission and it came down to the wire. Celestined died T1 and didn't come back til T5 which was incredibly fraustrating, glad I tried out Jacabus as the rerolling faith points was needed in this game; I rolled a 1 three times throughtout the game for my faith points. The Pentient Engines worked better than expected but orks are the ideal army to use them against. I really wish they were (a) faster and (b) not a heavy slot then I'd use them alot more.

Hopefully gonna get another game in a sunday aswell so more coming soon!.

D

Thanks for all the input guys. I've been (trawling) the aftermarket spots looking for tanks but I may just get impatient and order 2 Exorcists and two Immolators from GW. Plus I'm still tempted by those Brothers of Iron tanks.... (Why do I always pick the most expensive armies lol?)

I'm hoping to get in my first game with Sisters next week. Hopefully the army is playable without the Exorcists!

Finally got a game in for once, SOB vs my friends tyranids emperor's will

He had first blood, he got line breaker and we both had slay the warlord(celestine didnt get back up in time)

I got a genestealer squad sitting on a objective whittled down to just a broodlord (was using a 10 sob squad, 2 melta guns and a melta bomb) and I had the tactical genius to assault the broodlord after shooting him.

He went first and killed one of my sisters, I swung back, got 12 hits in, but not a single wound, rolled for leadership, failed it,(you all know what's coming next), initiative test(I botched it horribly , and so they got run down the broodlord taking the objective and effectively tabling myself.

Tyranids 9- SOB 1

I moved everything up first turn, 2nd turn deep strikes behind me and outflanking genestealers, it was a huge mess both our armies were pretty much gone by turn 4.

The last turn we played I had a saint Celestine token on the ground and 1 sob squad, he had a 3 man stealer squad and the solo brood lord and 1 zoanthrope at the end of the game.

To be honest I really should have spread my units out more to cover my flanks so he could not have been able to come onto the board or just piled everything in the center, he effectively had me surrounded at the top of turn 2 it had been a year since I played and completely forgot about deepstriking and outflanking

It was fun I hope to play again soon, I'm sad my local store is gone though i guess the mall was too much rent for GW

O my god that broodlord, MVP

(all foot list, minus the exorcists i had, which got nicked 2nd turn by deep striked spore and zoanthropes)

The GW Exocist kit that I ordered was essentially an Immolator with the additional metal plates and pipe organ. It only take a little creative assembly to keep all options available (rhino, immo, or exorcist.)

I haven;t run too many rhinos, as they seem to die too easily and I tend to march the full 20 BSS onto the objectives around turn 3. I do make use of the immos for moving specialty squads around the field.

Anyone seen a russ' dozer blade stuck to a rhino?

It was suggested to me for a repressor conversion to make life easier, but I don't know how it would do.

Opinions or pics, gents?

Forgeworld sells a dozer blade for a MKII Rhino. Is this this the same blade as the Russ?

The Brothers of Iron Kickstarter has a 3 Rhebok set available now that includes the option for longer back ends I think will put them exactly at Rhino length.

He finally showed the dozer blade too, and sadly it looks nothing like the Repressors. I am still really tempted to get three of these with the bars on them though.

Definitely go for the Rheboks.

This? http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/522436-.html It's one page back on this thread.

I used the Chimera ones, which are slightly bigger:

That looks nice. Gives it a slightly different look.
Paint job's great too.
After the thread about whether rhino's were worth it, I've decided to get a few more and try them out. My army has one and I love painting murals on them, but now I think I'll try three at a time.

So, Warmachine has just got the Convergence of Cyriss stuff, and while I don't really care for their 'jacks or their casters for the most part.
The Clockwork Angels are cool, but I can't think of a justifiable use for them (and hate buying models just cos they look cool when I could spend money on something I'll use...)
But then there's this:

Which I think I'll pick up to convert into Celestine once it's released.

Yeah, that stomps over the SOB model quality.
And Privateer press actually like their customers.

Yeah.
I'm thinking along the lines of removing the cogs and bars down the side of her legs, replacing the spear with a stylised Power Sword, armour up the bare skin, add some shoulder pads and add some imperial iconography.

Maybe a head swap or conversion...

Can someone explain to how in the bloody hell there is a 106 page thread about SOB!?!?!?

Because we all love Sisters of battle..

Why wouldn't there be?
It's a year and a half old and people like the army.
There's actual discussion about tactics, units and models, and a generally lively conversation about the army.

And rather than having 106 different threads on SoB stuff, a lot of it is found right here.

That's handy. I wish that was the case for all the armies. It would make things much, much, simpler.

I try to direct people over here whenever they start a new thread. It keeps things tidy.

Reading that reminds em that I still have 8 of those kits...

I got my Rhinos at a local shop that had overstocked on Exorcists so he sold me to them at rhino prices and gave me a 15% discount for buying 10 of them. These were the GW ones.

I used two to make Exorcists and used the other 8 as Rhinos..

The metal kits are still in the plastic containers they came in in my bits 3 drawer container..

Good days then.....

You should totally sell off the Exo bits. The side plates are awesome. And that is a super good deal.

The Exo bits always sell well on Ebay, I don't often manage to snag them cheaply to nicen up my Rhinos.

Oh man those wings are amazing! I really want it just for those to stick on Celestine.

TRAWLING.. The word is trawling l.. As in trailing a wide net in the ocean behind a boat looking for fish type trawling..

Ha, I've spent far too much time in the engine room of a trawler... and trolling, as Strayan pointed out, is quite different

Haha you learn something new everyday!

NeedleOfInquiry I have PM'ed you. I currently have several Rhinos that I would love to turn into Exorcists or Immolators.

In other news I should be having my first game with the Sisters this Thursday against Necrons. My army consists of all foot troops and 4 Rhinos. Any advice on a list or tactics?

Necrons are tough. I actually haven't played against them with my Sisters but have played them a few times with my BA. They can put out alot of firepower and their codex can handle alot so it depends what he runs.

Send Celestine troop hunting. She can by pass their armour saves and if you win the combat byy a big enough margin you should be able toget them to fail a leadership test and run them down.

Watch kut for Wraiths; 2 wounds 3+/3++ will ruin your day if they get into assault. Taken them out from range if you can. Exorcists will do this well as you can double them out, it may seem a bit of a waste using your ap1 against something that'll get a 3+ save anyway but just remeber for every wound that gets through your killing a wraith outright. Conversly small arms fire is also good vs wraiths as they basiclly MEQ T4 with a 3+...the trouble is you need serious weight of fire for this to be effective. On average 72 shots at BS4 will do 8 would on T4 with a 3+.

Watch out for annihilatrion barges they can put out some pain and alot of Crom vehicles have access to shield which gives them av13 til they recieve a penetrating hit - nothing melta can't handle if you get in range though.

Also consider some AA like an ADL with quadgun.

Exorcists are great against wraiths and seeing as how SOB aren't exactly CC powerhouses you'll want to use your Exo's for wraith hunting. They have a crappy chance against those forcefields but not impossible. I took out one of those spiderwalkerthings on the first turn last time I played. Do not let Celestine get tarpited by stupid scarabs. If she's with Saraphim with crack grenades and melta bomb they can go vehicle hunting.
In a battle report I posted somewhere in the bat rep section, Celestine won combat against a squad of immortals and a Necron Lord, they failed, she chased them down, slaughtered them and the necron lord. It was glorious.
