Guys! i've finally found the original website for ordering amazing "Sci-fi female warriors" =P

Here is the link to the website. I'm guessing their orders are now going to skyrocket tenfold!

Looking forward to getting these

Hey, those look pretty good! And I'm quite picky about third-party SoB stand-ins. They're distinct whilst still fitting in nicely with the SoB aesthetic.

Might just grab the first one as a Canoness when I start my Argent Shroud (or maybe Valorous Heart) army. Though she might not be allowed in my FLGW.

Yep.

OP post is saying it was last edited in 2013, though. Weird.

Normal now.

Wow some of those models look really awesome, and yeah totally made from the ground up to be AS! Sadly the company looks like it might be Russian, not sure didn't look deep enough but I swear I saw some Russian writing in there. And of course not enough models to make a full army of them especially at 10$ a pop. Great for the odd SI sister or Canonness.

It's Ukrainian and looks like you can pay by Paypal. As you say it might be good for the odd figure but no replacement yet.

Not that I think for one minute that the metal Sisters are going anywhere for a while.

Yeah i would not use them as "replacement sisters" as they don't even have a standard model with boltgun... but as little eye candy within the army, for sure: great standard bearer(not that i play one, but might just have to now...), nice canoness/ sister veteran models. The flamers would fit nicely too.

It is indeed a Ukrainian company and the ordering is a little personal:
You have to message on the site with your email. To which they answer back with a paypal email address and you then pay like you'd send money to a friend. Not the usual "click and shop", but i wouldn't worry too much, you have the Paypal Resolution Centre 45 day refund so all is good =)

Also, in their WIP page, the top Repentia+Inquisitor model combo is actually finished, even though not listed...

Huh? I haven't noticed. I just checked and title looks fine to me.

Quick question about the FW stuff for our army, is anyone able to confirm the latest rules for the repressor and avenger strike fighter. Im pretty sure Ive got the latest rules but Ive heard that the flyer got an extra hull point and the repressor got its firing points back.

Not sure on the Repressor, but the new rules for the ASF are in Imperial Armour 12: The Fall of Orpheus. It does indeed have three hull points now, and can also be formed into a squadron of up to three (though where'd you get the points to that is anyone's guess. Apoc, maybe.)

At 150 per Flyer? It's one of the cheapest out there =D

Nice to know i can have 2 Exorcists and 3 avengers under 2000 pts! Thanks

As was pointed out to me in another thread, the Imperial Navy Squadron is only for the Death Korps of Krieg army list in that book.

That... makes sense, kinda.

Do we still get one, at least? I'm fine with one.

I want a Sororitas Vulture Gunship, dammit. Why don't we have the same access to Imperial Navy air support that the IGs do?

Because we're not IG?

[pout]But we're better and prettier than the Guard. Why doesn't the Navy like us?[/pout]

Also the Ecclesiarchy apparently has its own fleet, though not with the depth or breadth of capabilities that the Navy has... which might actually be the problem if the Navy says "feth you, you have your own fleet, ask them, oh they don't have Vultures, well look at me playing the world's tiniest violin."

I ask the same thing about GW.

I'm not a big flyer guy, really, so as long as we have one decent flyer, I'm happy. The ASF is a decent flyer, so I'm happy.

Speaking of, for those that take one, do you add anything to it, or just take it as is?

I take the Autocannons if I have points to spare.

What FW book are the rules for the Avenger in?

D

Imperial Armour; Aeronautica has the latest rules for Sisters I think.

Soroitas aren't allowed to have TOO many nice things...

Tis' why I now have elysian and inquisition allies with my girls (and fluff compatible)

Queue the ride of the Valkyries

[pout]But why don't we get to fly them ourselves?[/pout]
And no 'women drivers' jokes or I will melta your face.

My Inquisitorial force is under construction - mainly so I can have the mystic and have my frakking seraphim actually land somewhere useful on the board for a frakking change.

All better now.

Yeah, but even Battle Brothers can't ride in each others' transports... so there's no way currently to get Air Assault Sisters.

Ride of the Sororitas Valkyries: BS:4, Sv6++, and meltas instead of multi-lasers

I'd love folks' feedback and/or scathing personal insults.

Seraphim can still deep strike.

What's the verdict on Heavy Flamer Rets? I can imagine 4 Rending S5 AP4 templates (Plus the Immolator) could hurt an awful lot, but is it worth the nearly 170-90 point price tag?

In my experience with flamers it would really be worth it...

... if it didn't take up a heavy support choice. Between the 2 exorcists and the Avenger (or 3 exorcists), it's just really hard to excuse a slot. I would definitely see it well in 2000points where 6 exorcists is a bit overkill (and armour weak).
Just what I think

I could also see it working on Command squad of 5 H Flamers, as, with a priest (maybe even cannoness) they could unleash many hit AND be useful in CC (unless you plan on dying the turn after you get out =P )

I like it! Sisters do need some dedicated flier options for sure.

Step 1: "Borrow" a conversion beam from Inquisition
Step 2: "Borrow" a roll of holy duct tape from the Tech Priests
Step 3: "Borrow" a Vallyrie from the IG and slap on a "we brake for heretics" bumper sticker.
Step 4: Bring the holy wrath down from the skies

My question is why take retributors if the command squad can do the same, but without the acts. Keep the normal 3 exorcists in the heavy slot and grab a command squad if you think you need the heavy flamers or bolters

A number of problems here.

The command squad is just more expensive and requires an HQ slot with a useless canoness. It doesn't get acts.
Although rets are not as good as Exorcists, they can fulfill different roles depending on loadout and do it cheaper/better than a command squad.

It depends a lot on what type of terrain you expect to see on the table. The more terrain on the field, the more the equation will shift towards the H.Flamer rets. The rending is amazing when you have something like a wraithguard unit wandering through ruins.

If there is not much terrain, there is no real reason to pick them over an exorcist.

Side note, great for scouts/shrouded stuff/pathfinders whatever else relys on those crazy 2++ cover saves.

Personally I've had great luck fielding my command squad with power weapons and using them as a counter-charge squad. I really like my canoness too, though I have done the mass HB on command squad too, they are a good way to field a bit extra of something you think you'll need

Quite curious on the actual loadout/point cost of this

Question was about Retibutors, so i answered about retributors... i do like and play the 5HB Command squad, but i was guessing the interest here was Rending on HF (so rending on around 20-40 dice) which the command squad will not do.

Full HF command squad was a suggestion but i don't think it as viable as the HB one =P

Canoness- Eviscerator, Rosarius, If points allow Mantle of Ophelia or Cloak of St. Aspira (I haven't decided which one I like better because the cloak of St. Aspira doesn't let you re-roll invuln saves from rosaries does it? Only SoF?)

Sororitas Command Squad- Hospitaller, PW x4 (usually mauls but I take swords against Space marines and their ilk and have taken axes once against grey knights)

Immolater- HB, MM, HF depending on my opponent or what mood I'm in.

Total cost: 305 (325-330 with a relic)

Now is this squad the best you can field for it's points cost? No. Is it so expensive only the great coffers of the ecclesiarchy could afford it? Yes! Oh wait that's uhhh... Anyways yeah so AS are not that great in the assault phase and since repentias are out of the question atm (and I don't have any and hate proxying) I felt I needed to counter that with at least one squad to fear in combat. I find the hospitaller is nice for keeping the squad alive (as is their transport) and overall they do their job as a melee kill-force quite well. Could be dice rolls? Could be lucky positioning? At any rate I seem to almost always have them near where they need to be to turn the tide in any combat my sisters get locked in. The squad has performed well for me in every match it's been in, I honestly have no complaints about it.

Important things to note, I don't have Celestine and in fact don't plan on getting her. I'm not a big fan of running named HQ's, I enjoy creating and trying out my own generic HQ choices from the armies I have (CSM and AS atm) and almost every match I play I will have a new HQ with a different loadout just to try out some new rules. I run my AS army with MSU all in immos and really love that playstyle, tried the blob (didn't have jacobus or priests so it was probably doomed from the get-go) and didn't enjoy it as much. Also note I never have and probably never will play competitively, I play with friends in casual games so I'm not against any of the popular crazy effective lists that seem to be going around, we all just play our armies the way we enjoy most. Just wanted to get that out there because I don't think this unit would be very good in competitive play and didn't want you guys to get a wrong impression about why it performs well for me.

Once I get a priest model I will try this group out with a priest all loaded into a rhino.

Thanx for readin
