Fair enough.

None of the Sisters currently have heels, this is about the threat of them gaining them.

You misunderstand the cause and effect, its not that models in high heels have high initiative, its that models with high initiative tend to have heels.

I feel like you're missing the joke.

I feel YOU are missing the joke if you managed to take that comment seriously

You would not be grieving alone

I'm pretty sure they're wearing power armor for a 3+ armor save.

Pointe shoes do it even better. Same with the fetish boots that should be standard gear.

But, but, but Repentia ! lol. But true, these have a 6+, at least.....

Their crusaders are cool though:

See, THAT is a power heel.

I like Blanche as an artist, especially his deamon stuff, but that cover.....

Well, his Sister look bad-ass. No, not that big strange thing with bra-skull, that is obviously not a Sister. I am talking of the heavy-bolter-toting badass in the rear.

He's right though, if you look at it this way, they look really cool: (replacement to soothe burning eyes from Deviant-Art)


I like the Boa Hancock bling holder in the back too....

I think the current graphical designs for sisters are fine. They're still human... they're rocking power armor, but still normal proportions (and GW can't seem to decide just how big an Astartes is LOL).

Aside from the pointless chest armor plate, their overall design works. An effort to make the faces a tad less... masculine would work wonders for new sculpts (take a hint from the DE sculptors).

Either way. still like them in the fluff and on the table.

Random aside, but does anyone feel like any ForgeWorld Sisters stuff might get "promoted" to a core Codex/kit if we get a new Sisters book?

I was thinking that most everyone feels comfortable with the Avenger flyer as a "good fit" that helps Sisters out. I wonder if we could see that one pull a "Stompa" and get moved into the main range?

I know, I know... we'd have much higher priority releases first, but if we're wish-listing, a Repressor and Avenger in hard-plastic would be really cool.

I think a platemail style chest would work rather well with them...

A platemail style chest, meaning what? Conical steel pasties over a chain shirt? Might as well go with the skull pasties on the 2E cover.

Or, perhaps something like this?


Considering how well it worked for an absolutely terrible freemium game, I think something like that would do quite well to boost Sisters sales.

I like em as is -boob olates an all

where is the girl from?

If you were an American, you'd know the girl is Kate Upton and that she just featured in a ridiculous commercial for the super bowl.

Having breast sections in a breast plate is a structural and tactical failure.If this was accurate, females would wear pretty much the same armor as males, perhaps with a small jut (not individual) section to accommodate bust.

But the world isn't run by accuracy, and people want tits -- especially space tits.

I'll try to remember if I catch wind of anything to pass it along.

Well, there are tons of way to make cool female armor that look either gender neutral or feminine, but still without showing off tits!

Seriously, I wish we could stop having the argument already. There are no winners, only thread locks when it comes up. The only winning move is to not play.

Nah, we are going to do just fine!

You know I don't mind the armored boob cups, but I'd be fine with this: http://sirtiefling.deviantart.com/art/Tamisen-the-Paladin-416332905 The single plate is not only sexy but pretty functional.

Yeah, that could work alright.

If GW dose do some changes to the SoB boob plate, this would probably be one of the better compromises because it still has that female stylings and you can still keep a lot of the specific stylings that are iconic to the SoB. Like the robes and the corset piece.

From BoLS:

Warhammer 40,000 Summer Campaign this year:

Sororitas and Space marines are the Imperial side

Tzeentch is the focus of the antagonists with multiple new kits:

– Plastic Lord of Change

– New Tzeentch Daemon unit

– New Tzeentch CSM unit (perhaps new plastic Thousand Sons – Rubric Marines)

Look for this campaign on the far side of WFB 9th which is occurring earlier in the year.

Spoiler:

More Sisters rumors, perhaps the winds are changing, after plastic Harlequins, plastic Bloodthirster, plastic Tzeentch.

Maybe sisters are looking more likely?

I wouldn't necessarily see this as a good thing... If sisters are 'the imperial side' the same way they were in Shield of Baal, we'd have gotten our hopes up for nothing.

Oh, who am I kidding, that didn't even happen in the first place

Shield of Baal (and the lack of rumors for Sisters getting models in this release) are why I'm not counting on them getting a release with this set. That said, it's not impossible that something could come from it anyways, just that it wouldn't fit the pattern thus far.

Yup. Tho I'm surprised no plastic Keeper and Daemonettes...

 WrentheFaceless wrote:

Whoa, let's not get carried away with ridiculous speculation there.

Of course, what we all want is a 3-in-1 Sisters of Battle / Daemonette / Sisters of Slannesh kit

True, wishful thinking perhaps

For the sake of my blood pressure and sanity, I have Ignored HwangDD.

In the same way, I would like you to simply assume that I am "Gibbs slapping" them every time they make a sexist and/or slaanesh sisters joke.

I don't put faith in that rumour from BoLS. Its the kind of thing that would need me to suddenly start blackmailing every member of the Board at GW.

That isn't truly the original exorcist. The initial exorcist didn't even have a product. I am aware, We kitbashed 3.

I don't really think you can claim that, gasdg... the initial Exorcist is the first one GW made, which would be the Forge World kit. Anything you make at home may be older, but it can't ever claim to be an official design.
