Long hair is always tough because you often have to model it around the model, so basically the hair has to go up. Daughters of khaine are good, but I think you'd need to do something with the crowns to make them repentia-y. Maybe paint them a dull, rusty iron with a little bit of blood dripping down the brows and onto the faces, implying that they're some kind of penitent torture device?


The problem with that is that i'm not using repentia heads specifically because i don't like the penitent look that much. A bit is fine, but the heads really go overboard for me, i was looking at a more berserk look for the heads. If as you correctly highlight, doing it with long hard may be quite difficult, i can do it with mid/short haired heads. Problem is that GW model range is quite scarce on female heads, so i was looking at 3rd party bits, but even there i can't find much.


Statuesque is definitely the best 3rd party female head source I've used.

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!!"

Have you looked at Victoria miniatures? I know they do whole squares of women, but don’t know if they do the heads separately.

However I think Sisters are in PA5 which is hopefully soon!

A lot of stuff needs to FAQ'd(some of it because of GW's horrendous history with RAI):

Mortifiers: Are they intended to be allowed to advance and shoot? Because they can't.(guns can't be made assault after advancing because they can't be selected to shoot in the shooting phase.) If they weren't then why change them to assault instead of just allowing you to shoot without the minus one?

How does the AoF system actually work? (And don't give me that BUt mAh AttAcK seQuEncE! Crap. GW doesn't know the attack sequence well enough to do something like that on purpose, especially considering they copy-pasted the rule from Sigmar. It ALSO doesn't answer the question of fast dice)

Boxset canoness has an illegal loadout.

Why TF don't dominions get to scout in vehicles any more? It can't be to keep then from being 'op'.

Simulacrums: If you AoF the unit with Simulacrum first, can you AoF then again? It specifically says 'elsewhere'. If you AoF them first, can you count that as the Simulcrum AoF rather than your once per phase AoF? If not, why not? (Design wise, I understand the wording).

There are more but those are even more RAI questions.

Also, we're not in any of the announced PAs.

Statuesque is definitely the best 3rd party female head source I've used.


Wow, i missed those! They are exactly what i was looking for!

Now i just have to understand if the sisters are a better fit for the heroic scale or the heroic narrow scale.

I feel like the intention is that you can advance and use the heavy bolters as assault weapons. Because if it wasn't, the pistol ability for heavy flamers is pointless, as they couldn't be chosen to shoot either if they're within 1" of enemy models RAW.

I see why people are arguing the RAW the ability is pretty useless, but it feels like GW expected you to select a unit, say "I'd like to shoot, I'll use this profile" and then you're good. The thing that's weird is I don't know why on Earth you'd want to keep heavy profile for either weapon? Assault is a straight up upgrade and the only downside I could see to pistol is if you had a heavy flamer and heavy Bolter on a single model and wanted to shoot both guns. It seems obvious enough that I can't imagine anything but the most anal of rules lawyers trying to call you on it.

Can't wait to see how they explain the canoness though. I didn't really want to use her because she's the only crappy model in the whole set, but given how much work they went through in the Dex to remove fun ways to kit out my canoness, you best believe I want to see their excuse for that. It wouldn't bug me so much if they'd actually stick to the no model no rules thing but all these exceptions for one army but 0 leeway in others is getting grating. Especially an army like sisters where all I gotta do to give her a weapon she doesn't have base is trim a hand or two from the line infantry you're going to bring anyways and I'm set.

They're going to have to allow it right? I mean they out and out stated the weapons she has in the codex. It's not like they could get away with "actually that's just a fancy stick, it's not a rod of office at all"

We need by the very minimum the canoness loadout fixed or we have model we can't legally use WYSIWYG. Also the way MD works is def material for FAQ as it's literally Frequently Asked Question despite being clear as crystal. Time to put that one to bed for good.

There's possibility though for GW 2 week after codex is 2 weeks after codex gets released separately.

Glad you like! I've used the heroic scale on space marines and the heroic narrow on necromunda gangers. If new sisters have the same size heads as sisters of silence I'd go heroic narrow.

What are the chances that the FAQ will wait until ~2 weeks after the full release of the Sisters codex? Because at this point, I'm guessing that was always their intent.

I viewed this boxed set as a preview release with the full release being next year. To that end, I bought it. Kept the book and datacards, then sold the rest. I plan on buying plastics when they come in real, full kits, and not the monopose garbage.

I guess I set my expectations low enough to not be disappointed.

The models are fine, there's not really any 'useless' ones outside of the flamer girl and I could give 2 gaks about whether a model is monopose or not.

Not FAQing a codex, on the other hand, is super dumb.

Or, it's obviously ambiguous wordings combined with GW having a history of completely changing rules in FAQs because they didn't realize that the rule that they actually wrote didn't work.

You're a big fan of 'just read the primer!?!' Right? Well read the primer and tell me how you can make a mortifier run and shoot when the primer says it can't be selected to shoot after it advanced and the mortifier says you change it's heavy weapon to assault when it's selected to shoot.

In fact, read the primer and tell me how assault weapons can shoot after advancing AT ALL when the unit they're equipped to ALSO can't be selected to shoot in the shooting phase?

Is it because GW isn't that great at wording their rules so we as a community agree to ignore stuff they write in favor of RAI sometimes?

Is it because the rules are worded ambiguously and may or may not be intended to give permissions that are technically in violation of other rules (something like 'can shoot even after they advanced' or 'one or more miracle dice')

Is it because GW has these problems fairly consistently and has even RECENTLY had to make dramactic changes to multiple books in the FAQ because they couldn't accurately predict the consequences of their own actions?

Cause I think it's all three.

The monopose gargage gives you hefty discount(like half) and new set of poses. Multiparts are quite multipose as well. Only weapon option changes but flamer is flamer, storm bolter is storm bolter. Poses are just as set

I don't mind the new poses. Considering the 5ish poses I've been using for the last 10 years, a handful of new plastic poses is a nice change of pace.

It wouldn't shock me if they waited for the official release to FAQ the book. In fact that might be what they are doing because they haven't even released it digitally yet. However it's the holidays and it could very likely be just normal Holiday delay. Well know one way or another soon enough.

So what's the optimal number of Penitent Engines/Moritifiers that should be run in a single unit these days?

I know 3 used to be the golden number (and maybe the limit?) for pengines, curious if people still feel the same way.

A unit of 4 only gives up 3 points on gang busters and is a target for mark for death. Gets the most economy from advance and charge and fight twice stratagems, but is jailbait vs anti heavy infantry weapons (s6+, ap-1 or 2, d2 or 3). Mutiple max sized unita gives you redundancy and looks scary. On paper max sized unit(s) is the strongest way to play them.

3 units of 1 doesnt give up any points to gang busters but will be an easy butcher's bill. It's sub optimal but opens the door to interesting plays and utility. If you need them to stand stag for counter charge or zone out deep strike etc. It's also going to be a lot easier to hide a single model out of los than it will be to hide 4.

"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 viewed this boxed set as a preview release with the full release being next year. To that end, I bought it. Kept the book and datacards, then sold the rest. I plan on buying plastics when they come in real, full kits, and not the monopose garbage.

I guess I set my expectations low enough to not be disappointed.


The monopose gargage gives you hefty discount(like half) and new set of poses. Multiparts are quite multipose as well. Only weapon option changes but flamer is flamer, storm bolter is storm bolter. Poses are just as set
I'm not concerned about the discount. I only bought the set for the book. Even if I used the models in the set I have to get more when the real kits come out. I might as well not mess with the inferior kits and wait for the full kits. If the new kits are going to be uncustomizable monopose as well, I'll just stick with my metal sisters for the rank and file.

I was going to stick with my old sisters but when you combine the new ruling about sisters needing to be on 32s in ITC/LVO combined with the fact that I hate basing donuts and think they look like trash I'm going to swap over.

I'd rather just paint a new army in the order color scheme they are going to be as opposed to rebasing my army. A model designed for 25mm put on a 32mm just looks off. Unfortunately though I'll have to use basing donuts for LVO.

Takes a bit of knife action, but my flamer girl is now a melta girl.

No sorry, just a rock.
