Are there any good 2nd party models for Sisters?

I own a squad of women in power armour that look great but I have no idea what company made them.

You thinking of these guys?

Oh god those are awful. bulky masculine marine models with boob plates. just..i don't even.

Have to agree with Iced on that, those are bad

No there aren't. Though Mantic is working on something like that.

Not right now. The best you could do is order up a bunch of armored fantasy women from Reaper or whoever and add marine guns and backpacks.

I've seen some good kitbashed using the female DE and HE torsos but I cannot imagine how much time/money it would take. I can't find them now, I think a poster named Dr Thunder did them.

Here's some other ideas.

Really? Is there WIPs or some other info on this?

It's on their list to do, some sort of Scanavian all-woman Valkyrie units.

I've not seen any concept art yet.

wow, I got a Rogue Trader flashback from looking at those.

No, there aren't even any good FIRST party models for them.

Found the link, it was one of the many kickstarters of Mantic, alas for Fantasy:

Haven't heard of any progress on this one though. But IMHO you are better of to wait for GW plastics.

They'd at least provide somewhat of a base. The other being a work around with DE parts or the daughters of the flame from warmachine. They will need a bit of work though.


Still cheaper than the actual ones sadly.

Oh and they have a nice replacement for the living saint; the Harbinger of Menoth.



There are seemingly no 3rd party alternatives, but there are some bases.

I like those daughters of the flame but the poses would make it very hard to make them into standard Sisters with bolters (unless you go for all dynamic running/jumping) unless you start cutting them up a lot.

Chromedog wins the thread.

There is the Immolator, that's at least passable and a decent kit.

I like the metal GW Sororitas models, even the Exorcist. Only human faction I like. And I am not sure that future Plastic models will be cheaper.

like DKOK they're one of those armies where unless you use the GW models they just look bad :/

and no chromedog, celestine is a beautiful model

Erm, no, I'd have to disagree with you there. There's a lot of third party bits that can make good DKOK.

That being said, no there aren't any good third party SoBs. However, I've seen a lot of people convert them from Dark Eldar models. With a little work, you can make some that look pretty kickass.

I tried the meow meow site and thought the parts were too small. tried using SM arms and needed more room to make it fit. Thats just what I thought

Sadly she is perhaps the only good miniature in the entire range :(

I'll be trying to turn the Dreamforge Games Stormtroopers into them. I'll let you know how that goes. Compared to 40k minis, they seem to be much slimmer and "feminine", so it should work out well. Click the link in my sig to get a view of them. They've got some cool heads that come with them, but you'd need to bitz order some female heads to really make them work. Speaking of which, anybody know any companies that make decent female heads?

Also, they're working on some "black widows", which are some sort of tankhunter unit that is made up entirely of women and is all plastic. It's not due till may or so next year, but I bet they'd make awesome Sisters for much cheaper than GW will ever sell them.

Its not as much the cost as it is the models, they're just ugly and I hate metal models

The only way I can think of to do a good SoB army without the metal minis would be to use extensive Green Stuff sculpting; kitbashing Dark Eldar torsos with Space Marine parts would be grossly disproportionate, and most fantasy miniatures I know of would be at least as expensive.

The best idea I've come up with to date would be just to put female heads on Space Marine bodies and point out that boobs on power armor breastplates is a silly idea, as per the Fighting Tigers female Space Marines, but that still has the problem of looking like Space Marines instead of Sisters of Battle.

Ive seen a friend do them okay with a guard/de kitbash with bolters, but it would be way too expensive what with only being able to use 2 in 10 torsos or having to go to a bits site

AAN did that using one of the Eisenkern Kriegsmarines with a head swap from Statuesque Minis.

Phhhrt, next you want to tell me everybody should wear helmets and Space Marines need smaller breastplates so they are actually able to aim their guns.

The Privateer Press Daughters of the Flame were already mentioned; I use them as Death Cult Assassins for my Sisters of Battle.

Not to burst your bubble, but they can aim their guns. Autosenses do the aiming and they rotate to where they need to put the bullet
