found these via ebay... and if you search for fleur de lis on google pictures you will come up with some even better looking designs... not that much excess cuts...

NICE

and the search was not in vain as i´ve found a 25mm holepunch for my own needs as well^^

I love them so far man, hopefully sisters get a new codex soon

I actually quite like the WD dex Seth. Its obv. quite limited, but exorcists are still amazing, we can stil run sisters in blobs, and both Celestine and Jacobus are very good. Retributors also look awesome for small PV games.

The main problem with the dex, a common problem - too many units you wouldnt touch with a bargepole - celestians, command squad, arco flagellents, the HQ slot aside from Saint and Jacobus, the entire elites slot ... and hull points in 6th has seriously nerfed penitent engines.

Still a very fun army though!

Troy, I do agree on some of what you say, but personally, I run a team of celestians in an immo with that many more melta. In this edition you cannot have enough. Two squads of seraphs, one Dual flame the other dual inferno. And deep strike to my heart's contentment. And of course our ever favorite exorcist (3) if points allow. On your conversion, IMHO, not feelin it. Your exorcist looks too large, dark lances, las cannons, and etc. need only so much hull to penetrate it. Personally, I do believe in saving money, but not at the cost of my in game enjoyment. I have the metal organ (something old,) the FW (something new,) and a whirlwind (something borrowed (painted blue.))

Heh, thanks for that spaz. My exorcists are indeed a bit oversize (they are more chimera size than rhino). I just got my hands on a real exorcist so I will be running only that one from now on (as soons as its assembled and painted). This is what prompoted the retributor kitbash as I now have 2 heavy slots free.

I found your comments on melta interesting. My experience of 6th so far is that flyers rather than regular vehicles dominate. Melta has limited impact in this regard due to range.. and I do think the emphasis of 6th on range hurts us a bit.

I do agree that if facing say guard armour, melta is priceless as you will probably get close. But for flyer spam which will probably be dominating tourneys soon, we need range for that. Also if we do face multiple vehicles, killing them with krak granades,eviscerators & meltabombs is now much easier due to the new CC to hit chart.

My other question is - why not just run another unit of sisters in an immolator vs. celestians? They are scoring, & can have the same weapons. Do you find the celestians +1 A and +1 str act of faith is worth the trade for another scoring unit? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on that, as I never considered celestians since the new dex dropped.

Retributors almost complete.. just purity seals to go.

the fleur de lis came out quite good looking! and now that i have a closer look again... very daring hairdo´s for sisters of battle^^

Interesting, so it's the current or old DE bits? The heads look current at least.

old bodies new heads

thats how i feel sometimes too

Wonder how the newer ones would fare. Have my interest in this anyway. While there's nothing that wrong with the metal ones it doesn't take long for them to cost too much and have noticeable clones about.

n0t_u The newer ones are better, look more medieval.

Vik - I could do with a new body as well, if my recent performances at fives are anything to go by!

LOL... who couldn´t do with a new one^^

OK - as much as I've loved making these retributors, its time to move on.

To an exorcist. Thank you so much to fellow dakkanaught stuart_kinnaird for this wonderful gift. Selfless as well, as it will be annihilating his tanks before christmas hopefully

To be honest I find the beauty of this kit quite astounding. Also I've realised its the first vehicle I will be making from the kit as all my other vehicles were ebay purchases.

Anyhoo... a quick look through the box:

looked at the pics in your gallery for the kit... well... have fun! i never got me yet an unbuilt kit... i bet that´s a lot f fun

There are no instructions in the box! Thank you dakka!:

*gets pin vice and files ready*

yes... dakka is that amazing!!! a think tank... and a helper in tight corners^^

Welcome back! Nice to see things moving along once again.

Ah working on an actual Exorcist. I'd suggest greenstuff and maybe some plasticard. Beautiful model, but there's a reason after 6 months I still haven't even primed mine.

Thanks for the link, I've also just picked up an Exorcist and was a bit miffed that they didn't send me any instructions.

@ vic - quite!

@ arakasi - thanks man it's been too long. i need to hook you up with dakkanaught embrace_your_inner_geek who has been running mini touneys not a million miles away from your patch.

@ n0t_u - I see the warped metal as part of its eccentricity and beauty though i wasn't saying that when trying to milliput/ glue the organ!

@ giraffeX - I honestly would not have known how to put it together without the link. What a wonderful selection of beautiful metal parts though. Takes me back...

A quick sisters update -

1) New penintent engine assembled, painted, and now battle damaged as I didn't pin its arms on!

2) Purchased a WHFB empire volley gun kit - mainly to use the gunners as priests with eviscerators. But also...

3) May use the rocket parts to convert a second exorcist

Watch this space...

welcome back troy!

and the empire volley gun kit is very cool...for some archaic looking tanks probably one of the awesomnest things to use

thanks vik. The volley gun kit is awesome. I'm going to do some heavy conversion on the volley gun to run it as a tfc. The priests are now UC and are weilding their eviscerators! and the rockets fit onto my repressor nicely. Great purchase for £15. Now if only I could find my camera...

yes... I can only advice you in the strongest tones to find said camera... those announcements need to be verified with pics...or as they say... no pics...it hasn´t happened^^

Welcome back - but yeah - need pics!

Hi Guys - bit of a haitus but I'm hopefully back for a while (have acquired a daughter since my last post - a bit distracted these past 8 months).

So previously I'd spoken about running a single exoricst and not using my scratch build vehicles anymore. This is my current direction of travel.

I'm attending ToS March in Nottingham and was looking to field some new units. I've got a conclave that's coming together nicely in time for throne.

But the object which has prompted me to start blogging again are... sisters repentia.

Now, as every sisters player knows, sisters repentia are rubbish. They got a major nerf in the new dex, and other choices are much better (eg triple exorcist).

However I cant help but love these women. They are looking for repentance, and have decided that wielding a gigantic chainsword and running across a battlefield to certain death is the best way of attaining it. That is cool - so much cooler than 3 exorcists!

So in short - I will return soon. Throne is 22nd March so I have a lot of work to do.

Peace out!
