Mosk Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Who has the largest Sisters of Battle Army? Like Pure Sisters of Battle (including of course exorcists) Does anyone have a Commandery of Sisters? ( around 200 sisters?)

Melissia Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sister Rosette Soulknyt has around 10,000 points of Sisters, which is a sizeable Apox force to say the least.

Brother Corvus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 A friend of mine (not on the forum :P ) has around 5,000 pts worth of sisters. I think a commandery of sisters would be very expensive to purchase, but awesome on the table. Scary as hell to the heretical/traitors among us..... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158040-largest-sisters-of-battle-army/#findComment-1849530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Mos Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have 50+ painted. So I guess that's a convent, give or take. But I rarely play pure SOB. Repressor not pictured.

Brother Corvus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How many points on average would a Commandery be? About 4,000 or so? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158040-largest-sisters-of-battle-army/#findComment-1849546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Depends on how you build it. Just basic footsloggers owuld be fewer points than mechanized of course. Mission: Palatine + Couple to several squads (21-61 models). This would be anywhere from 270 points to 2000 points. Commandery: Canoness Commander + 200 Sisters. This would be anywhere from 2300 points on up to even higher. Preceptory: Canoness Preceptor + 1000 Sisters. This would be a minimum of 11,000 points, but would likely get much higher than that with equipment and upgrades. Order: Canoness Superior + ~5000 Sisters. Minimum of 55,000 points.

dragonlady Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have 50+ painted. So I guess that's a convent, give or take. But I rarely play pure SOB. Repressor not pictured. I have about 6500 in Sisters (both Puriton and Radical), plus an Inquisitorial force (Grey Knights) - Another 2500 of these. Most of them have gone back into the tank, as they were early paint job and I'm in the midst of repainting and rebasing all of them. Imperator Mos, I would love to see some closeups of some of your Sister Units and leaders. It looks like a nice paint scheme, but I can't really tell from the far shot you have posted and your gallergy doesn't go into any details. Thanks Dragonlady Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158040-largest-sisters-of-battle-army/#findComment-1849646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utsujin Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well, I have around 1500 points with pure sisters, and a couple hundred with ISTs in there. Not alot, but it took a good 450 bucks to get up.

Melissia Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Taht's how all our armies start off, Mal, so that's definitely not a bad thing.

Mal Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well it was originally going to be an addition to my pure GK force to adda little more flavour to the army... I may increase it to be a taskforce/army in its own right, but I have half a dozen more armies to finish before I even get around to taking them out of the box....

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I only wish i owned a digital camera :P Maybe i can borrow my close freinds ...thinks what it might cost me to bribe her. Yeah i do have a large army of sisters, still enjoying collecting more too. Am collecting bits and peices for my new conversion of a Shadowsword Baneblade that will be painted same style and colours of my SoB army..... was thinking for Holy Deeds done in the service of the Emperor and saving a Forgeworld they gifted them a new Shadowsword for the conitinual fight agaisnt the unclean, the mutant and anyone else just wanting to smell Promethium up close.. If i can get pics in the next week will post them here for you all. But as Melissia said thats how i started too, since they first came out i traded my Equally sized Dark Angel army for the startes of this army i have now. I love the feel of them, the story and uniqueness. So i only started with a simple battle squad too.

Mosk Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ya I started sisters a little over a year ago with two box sets a cannoness and my imperisl guard. Now I have about twenty five hundred to three thousand points of just witch hunters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158040-largest-sisters-of-battle-army/#findComment-1850260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Corvus Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 How many points on average would a Commandery be?About 4,000 or so? Thats a lot of sisters. :) Love to see some pictures, cause I think im getting the Sisters bug as well..... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158040-largest-sisters-of-battle-army/#findComment-1850887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewm9 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 10,000 thats a huge army. I could field maybe 4000 points with options. With my mismatched collecting habits I have almost 20 sisters superiors, but I don't have nearly that many squads of sisters. I prefer a mechanized army to footsloggers. Against many of the opponents I fight I need combined fields of fire to kill people dead and vehicles help that happen I need more of them to make my army work at that huge point level. Right now, I've got 1 Landraider, 2 Exorcists, and 6 Immolator/Rhinos. I need more Rhinos and Immolators as well as a Repressor or two. I'm guessing I could almost field a whole commandery. Most 2000 point games I field a mission's worth of sisters all mounted except for my Retributors and the Seraphim of course.

ArmouredWing Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 As anyone who collects sisters will know ebay is a godsend and because of my successful auctions over the years I've managed to build a reasonable sized force. So from the top; Inquisitor Karamazov 2 standard inquisitors Approx 15 henchmen 4 priests 4 assassins (1 of each) 6 arcos 3 PE's 10 ist's 1 canoness 65 - 70 battle sisters 30 seraphim 4 heavy flamers 4 heavy bolters 4 multi meltas 3 imagifiers 7 immolators 4 exorcists 1 repressor ...All from ebay apart from the exorcists which, as most people know, are like rocking horse droppings. I've never actually added the points up for a basic force but with 5th ed its not about the quantity, its the quality of the choice.

Mosk Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Andrem9 try mounting your retributors in a immolator and dropping off your immolator, you will get more heavy support that way :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158040-largest-sisters-of-battle-army/#findComment-1851283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
