I have been able to stop buying this past months any warhammer kits because I have a inmense pile of grey plastic and now I'll have to buy a full box of space marines and Sisters of Battle are becoming more and more hard to res... who I'm kidding I have accepted I'll buy a entire SoB army the moment they go into sale.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I really like this model, the aesthetic is basically spot on. I'm dreading how much this is going to end up costing me though.

your mind

1. like that the model retains enough of the old aesthetic as to not make the old metals obsolete.
2. will use new plastics to finish an old project left behind because... no (affordable, interesting) models.
____
3. therefore, GUARANTEED SALES as 3 million old fat guys like myself come back to the table.

But that aside, sisters should not be a viable army solo at points levels over 1500 in my opinion. I think that the solution to the problem now isn't allies and so on but having stricter faction identities. So, GW will likely do this anyway, have 4 main factions and then subgroups can fill out detachment templates. So, like epic really, but with bigger models, and at the expense of modifyability as well.

This leaves the "hobbyist" in a position where s/he has to buy different trademarked models (eliminators?... jeez.) in order to gain use of the extended or special abilities that would have, in the past, been represented with conversions of other models.

I see sisters being some subunit that can be purchased to provide this variability within the rules as written.

They lose a lot of people in such a transition though.

The hobbyist who liked to use their stuff in a more RPG minded system to build new stuff.

Anyways, I am dumping a lot of old kit soon I figure,
as 8th ed rules still can't get me back to the table -
but I want to use my 30euro airbrush to paint some of the very nice new models alongside the old metal sisters that I have had shipped across the world twice, in black primer, over the past 20 years.

Great work, GW.

How dare you insult the primaris sistorum.

Stupid joke aside, could be she's sitting on a larger base since she has the relic, I've had some interesting times fitting some of my banner bearers onto 25 mm after not paying quite enough attention during assembly.

Scale creep?

She would be ludicrously tiny if that was just 33 mm, my guess is 40 mm. Just look at primaris, they normally fit on 33 mm no problem, but banner bearer has to go on 40 mm to fit the pole despite much more sensible pose. Seeing there is some space around the rim still, it looks about right for normally 25 mm mini with banner and robe both fitting in the base...

Yeah looks like a 40mm.

Also I fully expect Sisters to be all 32mm, the resin Sister Superior we got last time and the two body guards to Celestine have also been on 32.

Plus my theory so far seems to be holding out, that any new kits with T4 or a 3+ save are going onto 32s. Sometimes it also effects models with multiple wounds.

Yeah no, that's a 32mm base she's on, unless you think a SoB should be taller than a Primaris.

Just got my female inquisitor down who I based on a 32, and yeah it is 32. For some reason I thought the sister profile would be wider, but the Inquisitor takes up about the same room on her 32 and she has a very similar armour on to a Sister.

Yeah I hope the base size they will be on is confirmed soon. I have a box of sisters I want to paint but I want to make sure I won't have to rebase them anytime soon.

The Sister render they showed last year was on 32mm (including base filling scenic topper) as well. While it's not confirmation just yet, I know which way I'd lean if I had to guess GW's intent.

Alternatively you'll just have to choose the option that annoys me the most, as GW does. There's your confirmation that it'll be 32mm bases...

50mm square bases is what I heard. You'll have to ebay them though, they won't come in the box.

Yep - I have a reserve of about £500 to buy with, more if needed...

Can confirm - it's a scientifically proven fact.

But that's just skulls of the unworthy. If you're worthy, you get to be a servo skull, a throne or a holy relic. Or window dressing. Or wall decoration. Or...

Well, alright. Pretty sure skulls get assigned based on a D66 table.

And incidentally fit wonderfully on 25mm bases in spite of spreading their legs wide to take up as much space as humanly possible.

I expect we'll see the same with (other) Sisters, but with more variety in poses so that their 32mm bases look even more ridiculous.

More skulls than the previous one, means she must be more powerful, too.

I've had a Sisters slush fund for years. Then I spent it on something that was actually going to exist. Shortly afterwards we got the announcement for plastic Sisters...

.That's definitely a Sister. But...

Maybe its the different shades of grey but the greaves+lower robe+corset+shoulder pads (of doom)+anachronistic helmet don't create a unified model. Too piecemeal, too many unrelated aesthetics layered on top of each other

I kinda disagree? It's really more cloth parts + metal parts together, and I think it works. Ideally you'd paint the robes a more matte color while the armor is metal.
