As the title says, if GW realise a plastic Adepta Sororita range, would you begin an army of the daugthers of the Emperor ?
I'm not asking if you wish new models or a new codex, but really what is necessary for you to play them.
For example, I just need/wish plastic models to begin SoB, even with the current codex, I would play them.

I would definitely play them (especially if I had the money to start collecting them). I got a couple of mates who would as well. At the moment, it really is a case of the SoB needing more models (all in plastic) and an up-to-date (preferably hardback) codex.

I'd at least consider it. I'd want to play them, but I'm not sure I would have the funds to be able to do so. Probably I'd put them after Nids, but before anything else.

Yeah. I basically slowly stopped playing because of lack of models and lackluster rules.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Multi part plastic kits though, not those one pose models they keep releasing

I've been playing a while, my first model was a lead marine and my first White Dwarf was bound with staples

The only thing that's really stopping me from building at least a small force is a lack of plastic models and a modern codex. I'd love to collect the Bolter Bitches.

With new plastic multipose kits and a new, better, codex I would gladly start playing them.
I have wanted to for a long time now but the lacklustre rules and expensive and outdated models kept me away from the nuns wit guns.

Hmmm, what do I answer when I have 7000 points of them already? I'd like plastic ones for new options, and a new codex more than anything, butI kinda collect them already.

The only thing that kept me from having them as my first army was metal models and out of date rules

I'd like to point out that two of the options are the same (yes if they had new codex too / yes if they had new models and new codex)

But it'd take both to make me like them. As they are in the current Dex (like most current old codexes) al the interesting options are too bad to consider, all the good options are spammy and dull.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

I already have them so can't really answer the poll in a positive manner. But at least two of the other guys would be interested if the models were available at a reasonable (for GW) price.

I'd drop a paycheck on them out the gate, no questions asked.

The army is so much more than women in power armor. As the fighting arm of the ecclesiarchy, they have a feel to them that is unique and all their own. Yeah, I'd play them so much my dice would catch fire.

One of them filthy casuals...

Play them now . Sisters are my favorite, primary army. I love the shotgun style. All they need is a few good formations, a few more flexible options and an elites choice that isn't a sick joke and they could be really good.

Wouldn't play them. Just don't really care for their look and feel. It would take a bit for me to be interested in them.

I have a friend who plays Sisters, and their play style is actually fairly distinct from the other Imperial armies. They deserve an update, and they'd probably be a lot more popular if their basic squad didn't cost such a ridiculous amount of money.

What about the option of "Yes, if I could bring third-party plastic/resin models to tournaments"?

Nope, already don't play boy marines. Not going to start girl marines.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.

Given what they did with the Harlequin, etc, I'd be fairly excited to see what they do with the Sisters.

I already have a SoB army, Tho is it only 41 SoB models, but Flesh Tearers Formation made them fun for me. Having a Storm Raven and 6 Drop pods of SoB isnt as competitive as the SM formation for sure, But it is a very hard hitting Army right at the start and it can make a Surprising first 2 turns for your opponent

I would definitely buy a box to build and paint. I did some Seraphim last year and they were really fun to paint up.

I wouldn't, my lot is thrown in with the ruinous powers.

However, I think a lot of people would at least like them as allies. And more variety is always good. And Sisters players deserve an update.

I wouldn't even be mad if they get sorted before CSM.

As a SoB battle and a CSM player, CSM needs an update more. Especially if you think about Marine Allies, Daemon Allies are good too, but you can have a full SOB army with a few SM formations and more knights ot make them more Competitive.

That's quite the sunk cost in niche army.

For answering:
- If you would buy more, then you are definitely in the "Yes" camp.
- If you would play what you own, still "Yes".
- If you are going to leave them on your shelf for no reason, then that's a "No".

Me, I have enough, but do intend to play them from time to time (otherwise, I'd sell them!).

Yeah, SOB rofl stomp anything chaos has that isn't full psychic. Even Heldrakes don't have fun times. HOWEVER, updates shouldn't be just about making things more competitive and Chaos isn't in danger of being squatted entirely like SOB are.

Already have them, already play them currently, would definitely continue to play them if they got updated. Where's the option for that?
