With the way pricing is heading, base troop box kits will soon be $60 for most anything :(


So our squads gets at least $30 cheaper then (for 10)? I can live with the increased bits count, stabilizability, and so on to go with the price drop.

Looking at if someone wanted to have a nice little Sisters Allies squad:

St Celestine,
Dominon Squad (5) (2 Meltas),
Battle Sister Squad (5) (2 Meltas or Melta, Flamer),
2 Immolators
Exorcist.

That should run to £139.00.............and I think would be quite effective at around 500-550pts depending on what happens on Saturday?

Quite a good plan, as with the low foot model count you then leave yourself free to expand it into a full army when they're inevitably relaunched with new plastic battle sisters.

Didn't like TGotG, pouting, exposed midriffs, boobs and butts everywhere, very likely any future efforts will be in keeping with that. Not really interested.

FTFY is supposed to make things better, not worse!

Seriously, everytime Sisters comes up someone comes around to flog Raging Heroes (and really you have the wrong set if you're trying to appeal to the Sisters players by referencing the set that doesn't have Sisters in it). We get it. Not all of us like the models, but we get it. Next thing you know people will be coming into these threads to tell us that water is wet, snow is cold and "everything floats down here". We know.

If you like their stuff that much just put it in your sig and let that do the talking for you instead of wasting posts reminding us all the time.

Yeah, not everybody is interested in Raging Heroes. I for one believe that plastic Sisters will be around by 2015 at the latest, so RH probably won't be "the only option". Regardless, let's not act like they're going to be our only choice for plastic female soldiers just yet, still too early to tell.

Also, personally, I don't want to use third-party stuff. I want my Sisters to be actual Sisters.

Yeah, I don't trust RH with this either. Looking at their existing material, all I see is long legs and catwalk stances, but no professional warriors. It *might* be good enough for a Hive gang, and thus perhaps an IG regiment recruited from a Hive, but personally I just don't see it working for Sisters.

Even pointing at some Reaper minis would be more in line with the existing style.
By the way, is someone looking for a Canoness in Terminator armour?

Hell no. Raging Heroes produces nothing that could stand in for Sisters. Too much "supermodel trying to play as a soldier in a photoshoot" (and failing, at that), not enough "hardened soldier killing the feth out of heretics with a flamethrower".

GW's Sisters models > Raging Heroes.

That fits in perfectly. Even the name of the picture says crusaders ! I like how third party makes some conclave count-as models that fits in way better than the official conclave model… without even trying, usually (though I guess there is a bit of conversion of those models, because the I and the rightmost shield symbol looks straight out of an Immolator kit) !
For instance, Privateer Press Daughter of the Flame ( http://privateerpress.com/files/products/32046_DaughtersoftheFlame_WEB.jpg ) can do some awesome DCA if you don't use the stupid official poses (pretty easy), and use a bit of greenstuff to turn metallic bra into breastplate, and fill that stupid little gap in their back.

I don't know about that. Some of the Kurg and Iron Empire minis are pretty good looking in the drawings.

Mostly the Heavy Troopers from each faction.

I will admit there's a lot of stuff in there that's more pin-up than "professional female soldier". Personally, from their lines, I prefer the completely armored up minis over the stuff like the Jailbirds.

Although if I ever did pick up their stuff, that wasn't Kurg/Iron Empire, I think it would be better ran/suited as a Count As IG army. Something like... Catachan Amazonian Army made of Jailbirds.

I don't really see the mincing super model for a lot of the TGG poses.



Some of the poses are terrible but that's war gaming in general tbh.

Cheesecakey? Yeah true especially the rambettes, but as has been previously discussed, the Sisters aren't exactly free of that themselves. Those daughters of the flame look cool!

I really hope that if they make a plastic sisters kit that we can have them in full armour. I really like the sisters models but too many of them have bare heads and the "bobbed" army just doesn't appeal to me.

Perhaps more hooded, or robed heads. Maybe even veiled. I think a deathmask look, similar to the Sanguinary Guard, would work well for sisters. If Space Marines can fully armour up, Sisters should get that ability. Failing that, various versions of the "Sabbat" helm will do nicely.

In saying that, I think the current aesthetic for the Sisters works well. Suitably gothic & menacing.

I think we will see more Sabbat helms with plastics. The Immolator gunner gets a choice of a Sabbat or a bare head, so hopefully this is a sign of future plastics going in the same direction. And, of course, a big part of plastics is their customisability, so more helmets would be quite in line with this

Though, I have to say, I'd vastly prefer Sabbat helms over hoods, veils ect. What I like about the Sabbat is that it's suitably medieval (it's basically a sallet in the future), but at the same time it's very practical and uniform. Also it's what they use now, so something else would feel like too much of a departure, for me.

The RH minis were clearly intended as alt IG models... obvious jailbirds = catachans, kurganovas = cadians, iron empire = DKoK. The "not" SoB minis are the upcoming scifi "Sisters of eternal mercy" line which I think is two kickstarters away (fantasy kickstarter being next featuring dark elves and most likley two other lines one of which I hope is an expanded mantis warriors aka not daemonettes)

So nuns in space don't fit the aesthetic of an army who's missile tank is an organ strapped to the top of a rhino?

Looks like this thread has descended into a hipster-like hate fest on Raging Heroes.

Fully reasonable position you have there... however the fact remains scifi space nuns with guns are not going to be in plastic for the time being and my bet is the RH ones are going to be available before GW drops a set. I already have 5k of Sisters of Battle in delicious pewter and am likely never parting with them. When plastics come out(depending on the models) I may supplement my celestians with them.

I was one of the heralds for the RH toughest girls kickstarter, and based on our dialogue with Asharah over the last few months I think the "Sisters of Eternal Mercy" line is going to be intentionally less cheesecake and more fitting of scifi warrior nuns that we would prefer to see. But then again until we see more concepts and sculpts that is just as good as wishful thinking.

If you were trying to be clever, you missed the mark. You should have said 'of the 2011' release. 2004 actually had minis, so those were much better than the current release, which doesn't.
