Bowl-cuts are for boys in the mid to late 90's.

Sisters have a "Bob-cut" supposedly invented by Vidal Sassoon (or however you spell his name).

I'd prefer them to be bald.



I really like the sisters, but converting is my favourite thing in this hobby, and converting metal is just utter pain. Multi-part plastics would be glorious.

I have no problem with Celestine's magic (which I interpret as possession by a benign warp spirit conjured by the masses of the faithful) - I just prefer running my Order as a professional religious-military outfit, and as such they require a proper commander.

Plus, it is way easier to come up with a custom background for a random Canoness. SCs always feel a little too ... well, special (duh) to me. I don't want my army be that special, I want it to be a Minor Order amongst many.

Well, Celestine doesn't necessarily have any 'space-magic' either. Her inability to die might be just willpower, luck, etc. Yarric has pretty similar rule and he has no space-magic, he's just a tough old geezer that refuses to die.

And you could run counts-as-Celestine as a character of your own creation, but I agree she might be a bit too special for that. It is just really hard to justify taking Canoness. Give her some wargear and she's as expensive as Celestine. Though she gives an access to a command squad. Are those any good?

Lynata wrote:That was indeed new to me. He really gets up again and again, even when he was hit by ... uh, a lance strike or a lascannon or whatever? That is impressive. A bit silly perhaps.

Yarrick's rule is a bit different from that of Celestine, but the basic idea is the same. When he loses his last wound he gets recovers with a single wound on 3+ at the beginning of the next IG turn. This can happen many times and instant death doesn't seem to affect it. However, if he fails the recovery roll, he is removed as casualty.

Such as?

Yeah okay... So instead of GW metal models you can use other company's metal models that look way worse and lack armour. I'm not seeing the appeal.

Lynata wrote:Huh, those Chosen Sisters don't look too bad - they even have power armour.

Well, they have the armour but the pic is way too small to judge the quality. I'm highly sceptical about manufacturers that don't have proper pictures of their products on their site.

It seems that most bit sellers won't sell bits for sister tanks. Those come with plastic torsos, arms and heads, right? Would be good for conversions if one could order them separately.
