NemFX Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sure, but I have no idea where my greenstuff is so it really won't look the same until I find it.. Parts list: Bald daemonette head. Eldar guardian female torso, arms, and the little backpack flutes. New style bolter (as opposed to the lunchbox style) Dark Eldar warrior legs (they look the most feminine) Assemble as normal, but, the backpack flutes, I turn those so that they are laying flat against her back, the points sticking out, making it look like its some kind of frame to hold stuff. Then I just cut off the shuriken gun, put in the bolter, and use the support arm to either hold the top of the bolter or a grenade (the hand is just a bit too small to properly hold the bottom of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall Egregorius Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 she's a bit.....bulky....around the waist. doesn't look like a sister type thong to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Havok Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks for the comparison, I love how well you balanced feminine and practical, and even next to the regular marines it shows, I'm sure there's great constrast between the true-scaled marine and her. All I can say is great job, I would play sisters if they looked like that (and were plastic, too :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Corvus Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Lets be fair, Marshall Egregorius is correct, it really doesnt look like a thong. :) However, Im not sure how the sisters would take to the new attire if thongs were used whilst defending the imperium! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well the GW Battle Sisters are already wearing corsets and bras to battle, what's to say their not already wearing thongs under their robes? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Corvus Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Must resist mental image. :) To hell with that! Is it just me, or do the shoulder pads look a little bit too big? You may want to make them smaller as they overhang the body by a lot and that could make it hard to paint. Just a thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I really like what you've done with this; I thin it's an excellent direction for the Sisters design, and I only hope that GW take note when they finally get round to doing Plastic Sisters. Great work! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible_Trygon Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 They do look a tad too eldary. Now for my own Sister; I have added new shoulder pads. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Sisters%20of%20Battle/DSCF0215.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Sisters%20of%20Battle/DSCF0216.jpg And here is a size comparison with a Traitor Stormtrooper and a WIP True Scale Chaos Marine http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/Terrible_Trygon/Sisters%20of%20Battle/DSCF0214.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Looks good, and yes I know, they aren't done yet. I just wanted to show you that I was going for a more visibly armoured route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeril Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Amazing! I can't wait to see it painted and a whole squad done. I LOVE the chaos space marine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgeman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The model looks fantastic, rugged and ready to smite the unrighteous! If only those silly female space marine people would use a design like this, it looks awesome, heaps better than a corset and bra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadey Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I always wondered about the battlesister armour, that it seemed (even taking into account the difference of the wearers) a lot less bulky than power armour. I wouldn't say it bothered me however, I do love the look of sisters. It seems unlikely that sisters power armour would be more advanced being able to offer the same protection for much less bulk so in the end I figured that the Sisters Power armour offers a bit less protection than marine power armour but not enough to jusitfy a 4+, and chalked it down to the inherent limitations of the d6 system. Personally I prefer the official sisters to your interpretation but I do like yours. One thing though, this whole exercise was about making a more practical and realistic armour correct? But then, you put robes on them. Not exacttly the most practical or realistic thing to wear on the battlefield :P. Still, it looks cool, and it does look like it offers more protection. Nice work on the chaos skull on that base, i bet that would have been a pain, and the truescale chaos marine is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well, the robes are there because the Sisters of Battle are still Nuns in Space. So the robes keep this theme alive to some extent. I'd imagine them as being loose enough to walk in. I mean, Dark Angels have them and they get around fine.

Yeril Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 @^ Simple awnser, Sister of battle PA is good enough to give a 3+ save, but not enough to boost them up to T4 (I consider SM Toyughness to be half genetic enhancement, half super-armour.)

Sir-DX Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I LOVE it this is a great conversion! are those legs by any chance taken form the dark angles sprue? sorry if I'm asking a question thats already been answered D: but I really do love this, its a great concept and I think its great!
