How many unique infantry Battle Sister sculpts are there?

While @ flgs earlier, we were discussing the totality of unique individual infantry sculpts there will be.

I'm thinking that it's like this:
Special box squad 10
Battle sister squad 5
Retributor Squad 5
Imagifier
& the 6 from the Triumph.

How many more could we expect or are we maxxed out already?

it really depends how modular the sisters infantry kits are.

The battle sister squad has 10 different torsos/ legs. If the kit is similar to the skitarii, then you could easily leverage that out further with easy arm and weapon swaps. You could also mix and match retributor torsos in there too.
You could probably crank out more than 30 unique (or semi-unique) poses from that one kit.

mix and match heads across things and you're in a pretty damned good place with them. especially when you consider that a degree of conformity among the religious fantatics makes sense anyway

I'm waiting to see if skitarii arms(cloaked ones) fit and how I can mess with the kits enuff to facilitate different posing. Genestealers are another possible source of conversion bits. I'm gonna wait until I have the retributor box in hand along with the battle sister box to determine what's easily done and what's a lil more complicated.

We've seen the sprues. They're Type 2 kits, as expected: Bespoke torsos and legs, modular swappable arms and heads.

"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!"

If by special box you mean launch set there are duplicates there. Though at least you can swap heads(bare/helmet) and angle

yes I do, are we sure they're duplicates?

I think admech/gsc arms can really open up poseablility and giving squads "character". I'm also of the mind that using the sisters from the triumph to add variety(Canoness/Superiors) in posing, etc...

Yes. The army set squad is sgt, stormbolter, flamer, relic and then 2x3 bolter sisters. Heads are swappable.

So 3 unique & 4 "special" for a total of 7 out of 10.

I was more referring to are the poses the same as the multipart "regular" kit?
