WarriorFish Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yeah, he knows little of Sisters otherwise they'd have enough melta to turn even the TS's dust to slag :P Great conversion work but as always whenever I see a diorama I can't help but feel the models would be better used on the table top :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I've never seen that before! Awesome. Bolters against dreadnoughts? Oh, honey... A curiously under-equipped force, really. I do like the work though, even if the artist has deliberately gimped the Sisters to make sure the Dreadnoughts have a chance! If MkOll can defeat a Chaos Dread with nothing but a tree (okay, the tree was projectile capable, but still...), then Sisters with Bolters should be simple! Yeah, he knows little of Sisters otherwise they'd have enough melta to turn even the TS's dust to slag Great conversion work but as always whenever I see a diorama I can't help but feel the models would be better used on the table top The weapon choices aside, I do love the work put into it. And yes, I look at the models and feel sad that they'll never see a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naminé Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The entire squad are Retributors: being Sisters, they of course know that they will definitely pass their act of faith, and certainly roll enough 6's to rend those dreads to death. *Furyou Miko 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 They just shoot there bolter rounds at the dreads cables blasting them to smittereenes leaving the dread helpless, teaches them to walk around with exposed cabling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendal1989 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Something about the battle sisters on the sides in the second pic weirds me out. Maybe its the pristine pretty girl face.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grgobart Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Somehow I can't help imagening an Inquisitor in front of the Sisters in the second pic, who after a successful mission assissted by these Sisters goes: "... Since the Transport back to your Convent isn't due to arrive for another week, who of you would like to learn, how to properly torture a Heretic?"

Teetengee Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 yeah, the faces are too young/unblemished, the rest look pretty good thoughactually, ignoring the faces, the poses aren't too sexualisedit is annoying that I actually feel like that is a legitimate improvement though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 They're just new recruits posing for a picture. They haven't been on their first deployment yet. Probably they will post this to social media and get made fun of by the vets in their unit who have actually purged heretics. The one with the power sword will get NJPed for playing with the Sister Superiors weapon instead of taking it straight to the Armoury like she was supposed to.

Brother Captain Ed Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Why be upset about the faces? I've known plenty female actual soldiers who had very beautiful faces and it in no way detracted from their competence. I've also known a few who looked like the south side of northbound hog, but guess who was invited to the photo op? Given that the Sisters are the Emperor's literal Angels of Death (as opposed to the Space Marines being the figurative ones) it's not surprising that someone would depict them angelically. The female form can be attracive without being inherantly "sexualized." The other humans depicted in the grimdark are either grotesque in some way (bionic attachments, scars, IG-style grizzled, chaos mutation, etc) or a version of stylized masculine beauty (virtually every Space Marine, every Primarch, the Emperor Himself, swashbuckling Rogue Traders, etc.). The difference here is simply that the largely male audience doesn't look at the Space Marine art and think "beefcake" rather than it being evidence of an actual difference in portraying the sexes (In this case. There are hundreds of depictions that are obviously sexual in nature.) I'll give you licking her teeth like that to be vaguely suggestive, though.
