Games Workshop just broke my heart, he battleforce-ish kit is over $1000 the battle sister squad is over $100, i think $115 actually. And don't get me started on the others, a blimmin exorcist is $100!!!!!

I was REALLY hyped for this update. Unless i can find proxies i'll be fairly dissapointed. or i could just say Smeg it and proxy them all with inquisitorial ST's

Well if Dominons still have Scout - thats them sorted - Retributors worked fine as did Serpahs - all three should be the same?

Its only Cannoness, Celestians and Command Squads that seem to be lacking a good role.

@ Thunderfury - there are several armies of Sisters on ebay at the moment which are cheaper.........

Saving my money for plastic Sisters, or a trip to Spain, should GW decide to Squat them after they fail to sell any models at unreasonable prices.

I've collected Sisters mostly from EBay. Only plastics would appeal to me at this point. I have more than enough models to make a sizable, stand alone Sisters army. I would like a flyer an an assault vehicle though.

Nah, that won't happen. The creation of plastic doesn't hinge on the sale of the metal models. We know that GW tried to make plastics before, but couldn't do it properly. But now, they've said that they have the technology to do plastics, so they can go ahead with making plastics.

The metal one-clicks are probably just a move to increase sales off the back of the new codex. And it may be working, I heard that two people have bought the Daughters of the Emperor collection, supposedly.

I started wondering how much my little collection was worth with all this hubbub about prices so I broke added some pricing info to my inventory sheet. OOP items and Stern are based on what they roughly cost me. Though I may have paid more for Stern.



So yes, it is expensive, but I didn't spend all that at once and the only time I really shot myself in the foot was when I got into a bidding war over Stern on eBay (yes I realize she may be a fake, but it's a mighty good fake if she is).

I'm still adding to it too (2nd Celestine and 4th Penitent Engine were gotten this week and I'll be getting more Battle Sisters eventually as well).

Makes me a little proud to know that I've managed to collect something worth so much (at least to me).

Looks like other people are finding out what Sisters player always knew all along.

I almost think we need a Slowpoke meme here.

More on topic, yes it's expensive. I don't know any Sisters player who would claim it's not. So glad the rest of the world is playing catch up now.

In regard to roles of other units now BSS can take 2 special weapons. As mentioned Doms will still have Scout and Infilttlrate which mean they'll still be betterthan your avaerage BSS but I wonder if there's a chance they might be able to take 4 specials in a 5 sister unit. Probably too much to ask for at this poont but it would be pretty sweet.

Yeah I was talkibg in regard to 5 Sister BSS. The point is you can currently take 2 specials weapons in 5 Sister dom squads, so compositionally doms and Bss in the new book will be the same (but doms have scout etc) so I'm getting at that it'd be cool to take 4 specials in a 5 Sister dom squad. You dig? Although I think it's too sick that we'd get it.

Guess you are not aware that Sororitas were released in blisters 2004 and that the boxes were released much much later.

If you think that GW prices represent a real world value, reconsider the pile of sand in the backyard:
