So true. GW models are expensive, if i own the original exorcist without a hull HB that is a GW model (including the FW one), or i own a whirlwind painted in SOB colors and icons, or i sub in a marine one i already own as a stand in and you take issue with it, then you are not the kind of person i would want to be playing a game with. i have better things to do with 2 hours of my free time other than argue with you over aesthetics.

As for the model bits. i own 2 DA rhino chassis that can also be razorbacks and whirlwinds because all it requires to switch over is a simple single piece bits swap.

Now the true glorious long OOP SOB model is the repressor. i miss this model.

Just trying to gauge how people would feel about this. I honestly hate the aesthetic of the Exorcist but like something like the Whirlwind. So would people make this into a big issue?

I'd accept a piece of paper in roughly the right dimensions with a thing on top for size reference.

Are these Exorcists or Whirlwinds?

If you choose not to make full use of the rules for this game that's on you ....

I guess that leads me to ask, is a Sororitas Rhino the same model as a SM Rhino with different accessories?

Yes, the SoB bitz are on their own sprue.

This is true b-b-but I want to mention that the Soritas vehicles are a little different, especially when it comes to the current Exorcist - Nevelon touched on this a little.

Historically Rhino-pattern vehicles were a rhino and a spare sprue, like for a Razorback or Whirlwind or Demolisher. This is not universally true across the Sororitas line. The Sororitas Rhino is like the above, a stock Rhino with an extra sprue. So, technically yes.

The Immolator and Castigator are absolutely not like that - there is a Sororified Rhino Sprue and a second sprue to whatever variant. Looking at the Exorcist, it's the same thing - a Sororofied Rhino sprue and an Exorcist specific sprue. They are not the same as an SM or even SOB Rhino and they are not interchangeable partswise.

This seems a salient point since we're talking about the Exorcist vs Rhino a little here.

I have two of the FW pattern Exorcist for my SOB army. Need to get one of my friends with 3D printers to print me up Heavy Bolters.

Honestly, I'd've gone with "dull as dishwater" instead of "glorious" there, but different strokes for different folks.

Think I’ll try making one with a kromlech zephyr turret, those look good for the role

Just a thought, but have you considered a hull heavy bolter from the Chimera chassis? I think that's what I will do.

My sister's army was pieced together around 2004ish, just around the time marines were getting their last rhino hull variant and Sisters still had the Rogue Trader Rhino hull. My Exorcists are old-school hulls with 1/35 scale helicopter missile pods on top.

I’d be a bit of a hypocrite if I didn’t accept one…

But I’m a little sad this oldie, but IMNSHO goodie, hadn’t shown up yet. The old US Mail Order Troll newsletter offered this conversion kit back when the Exorcist was a brand new thing. It was, at the time, the closest thing to an “official” model that GW offered. You know, back when GW made rules for models that didn’t exist?





Apologies for the poor pictures. My photo booth isn't set up right now.

And, yeah, positive about the MO Troll bit cuz it was based on my conversion…

Valete,

Well here you go

Well it is nice they still have rules for it i suppose, but i do not play 9th ed. i would be just fine running it as it was in our 5th ed games. a rhino (AV 11/11/10) that is a fast vehicle with a seige shield, pintle storm bolter/heavy flamer, 6 bolter fire points and a top hatch to pop out a sister with another heavy weapon (we all know it is another heavy flamer )

It is the ultimate "drive by" transport for sisters.

Still going to need some form of hull modification for the mount, though.

Use something like these for the hatches?

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Space-Marine-Legion-Pintle-Weapons-Set

The pintle mount MM from the LRC kit would also be a good place to start. Clip on HBs can also be found on attack bikes and land speeders, rigging them to a hatch mount would not be hard.

Whirlwind exorcists (and variants such as valkyrie pod exorcists, etc) have never been all that uncommon, and not even 'unfluffy' given the similar appearance of the Sanctorum (FW) variant.

The old FW exorcist and immolator kits are excellent fits for their heresy-era rhinos too, though IIRC the sisters stuff was discontinued just before the demios sets were released.

I'd rather use my glorious/dull as dishwater but functional FW turrets until the end of time vs even own the stupid-as- looking gimmick pipe organ version.
The difference between the original pipe organ & the current kit? The current kit IS the better looking of the two. But it's still just too stupid & gimmicky looking for my taste in missile launchers.

Now if an opponent would accept the pipe organ tank as a proxy for one of the various sister characters that hand out unit buffs I'd consider owning a few. Or if GW would just make such a vehicle unit....

I'd say that was a terrible waste of a Karamazov model, but when I used him in 7th it was modeled with the legs and torso of a metal Sentinel topped with the turret off of a Baneblade.

I don't see why anyone would refuse that unless someone were to be playing some kind of Sister/Marine soup where confusion could happen. It's a tank that fires missiles and even the size police shouldn't be able to complain because the chassis is the same as well.

Why would there be confusion? You're not going to using both rules at once.

The only confusion I can imagine is if you were to have a space marine and a sisters combined army, and even then it depends on the paint. I can imagine some people being confused then. I personally wouldn't really care, but that's just me.

Props on the Karamzovorcist- it's amazing!

Thanks. It was for the old choir of faith formation and I needed something even more ludicrous than the regular exorcist to serve as the command tank.

It got used once, and was immediately flattened by an orc rok that missed its intended target by about five feet :p

Weeks of planning, hours of making, seconds of destruction

To the thread's question...

I'd like to see some Sister-izing of the model. Add some Fleurs to it and whatnot. But honestly, given it's right about the same size, I'd have no issues with it being used as an Exorcist.

The only exception would be if you were fielding a mixed Sisters/Marines force and had both Whirlwinds as Whirlwinds and Whirlwinds as Exorcists.

I think you're playing the wrong game if over the top aesthetics bother you.

No doubt Sim, no doubt…

And wow, I loved the Trolls. That was awesome, back then, the things that they would come up with on the phone. I once called to order Bret cavalry, ended up with one of each model plus a boatload of hex bottle inks and paints and glazes and so much fantastic stuff. Got the old LR conversion kit once too, and made three tanks from it. Trolls were the best thing about GW, them and the old paper bits catalogues. I feel sad for young ones who missed out on that experience, … and this tank is awesome!

Actually, I don't think you do. I've always painted the back-end of those Heavy bolters to look like flexible leather/rubber. Kind of a grommet seal for the weapon. If you just glue it right one it wouldn't look unreasonable.

You might want to trim/greenstuff the backside since they have that weird semi-tab thing to fit into the mounting, but that'd be pretty trivial to pull off if so (image in spoiler if you've never worked with them before).

If the weapons are modelled properly and you don't have any of the same model in your army being run as something else, it would even be fine in tournaments.
