I like that idea, and "Argent" sounds better than "Verdant"...

... and I'm not just biased as my own Minor Order is the Order of the Argent Blade.

And they need a special rule one weekend a month. They have rage, feel no pain, and +3 str. You have to designate that weekend in your order like 1, 2, 3, 4. And it cannot change

Although "verdant" does feel "fresher", whilst having a similarly nice ring to it!

While it does have that minty-fresh feel, I think the other uses of the word "verdant", to mean fertile, fecund, etc. is... not quite fitting to the Sisters. Too much associated word-baggage, I suppose.

That and "argent" sounds hard and metallic... like power armor, bolters and Eviscerators.

With Verdant = Green a quick look at the symbolism of green some of the words that come up are nature, healing, life, fertility as mention, royalty to a small degree. Also a common one was illness and sickness (however that's a tie in with the Saints defeat of a nergal cult and the saint studying botany ). Not to mention there's the good ol' word of Greenhorn = rookie.

Well I do have to thank everyone for their imput so far as I think I've settled on "The Order of the Argent Rose". With notable characters being Saint Hildegard ( Saint Hildegard of Bingen ), Dunane Knuton, and a rather unique combination of Little Red and BB (think of the image of a SoB walking forward with Bolter slung to the side with a Bolt Revolver and combat knife in hand flanked behind by a Thunder wolf using the one from the wolf lord on thunder wolf model)

Sounds awesome.

You totally have to make that diorama. I suggest the old 2e Standard Bearer for a base model, since she has the slung bolter and an outstretched hand.

I do plan to; the wolf will be easy because the one in the Wolf Lord on thunder wolf is completely separate from the rider and is posed really nicely. As for the SoB finding a model won't be easy, especially one that has a "walking forward" pose, or any combination of model bits and parts.

as for the revolver, this one - http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=589
the description seems that it might be about as big as a GW bolt pistol and it looks amazing.

The 2nd ed standard bearer might work but part of the standard seems to be modeled as part of her robes.

Hm, I'd forgotten how the pole goes into the folds. You'd need to use a drill to get it out satisfactorily, and have to do a bit of resculpting where the outstretched arm folds back on itself. My memory has failed you, I apologise. Might be easiest to kitbash her from mixed bits.

was looking around and found this -> http://www.createyourminis.com/

and on dakka on page 3 -> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/586718.page

Huh. That's pretty cool. I probably wouldn't use it myself ( I love kitbashing too much!), but for those without the inclination it's a nice tool.

I'll have to put that one down in my notes.
