There's also no reason to assume that it could be done with only a supernova. There are ways to set back human technology without wiping out the species entirely,

Actually, we need better technology, not not worse. We could easily be operating on a zero carbon footprint NOW, if we had gotten over the pathological fears (and NIMBYism) of nuclear technology.

I am well aware that the reality of what space travel would actually require means that my entire concept there was entirely silly and the obviously correct solution is to simply develop more advanced tech quickly enough that we can clean up the planet before it's too late, not to set our tech back and have to go through the exact same stuff we're doing now all over again.

I only kept typing that stuff to show how, even without knowing the reality, and just assuming that what I believed was actually true, going for the supernova at all is the wrong idea.

I dunno, for some reason I just kept wanting to be able to prove to people who didn't know the truth that blowing up Earth is a bad idea.

I feel really, REALLY dumb.

Exalted for awesome. (Also exalted for Christmas, but mostly exalted because this is a wonderful philosophy and needs to be encouraged.)

Yup.

Hard to believe I'm schizophrenic, huh?

Frankly, the fact I'm wrong about things I believe is something I've had to overcome, simply to maintain my grip on sanity. I've even had to convince myself my own beliefs are false before, to a degree I could convince a true believer. Wanna disprove the claims of anyone who believes they can read minds? Just remember, they would know any password you think of. Including your bank PIN. So ask them to guess your bank PIN. Betcha they can't cold read 4 random digits.

Exorcist are Extremely easy if you are using the FW kit rhino upgrades.

Here is a pic (They no longer sell them sadly)

You can use SM- WW kits as well, with SOB markings no one even tournaments will say you cant use them.
Here is an example http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/8/22/131706_md-Exorcist,%20Sisters%20Of%20Battle,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG


Edit: I have 3 of these kits, But I am getting 2 of the Metal GW ones soon just in case GW updates them and the new ones look bad.

I suppose you could, but if you love the cheesy baroque Protestant hellfire-and-brimstone aesthetic of the Sisters as much as I do, the faffing is not intolerable. Those golfbag-looking missile caddies are far too practical for my tastes. World's Deadliest Organ Recital all day long for me.

I do love them, and thats why Im getting a few just in case gw changes the model and makes it worst, if they change it for the better then thats good too

I love the aesthetic style too.

It's just that my personal army's fluff means my Sisters would consider firing missiles out of a pipe organ to be a dumb idea. I don't even want GW to redesign the model to my liking, I'm fine with it staying like it is. If I want a non-pipe organ one, I'll just come up with something on my own.
