You know you're a Sister of Battle player when...

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Interestingly, Ward's actually turned his stance around since leaving GW. He's not a pig. He just had no idea what he was doing.

 

The whole bloodtide dead-sisters-blood-wards thing was apparently supposed to be pro-Sisters to show how pure and incorruptibly awesome they are.

Like how No Pressure was supposed to favor environmentalism, but the film's greatest promoters are CRITICS of the very movement it supports?

 

Man, Ward really ed up, didn't he?

[Drider]

...And on that note, I'm tempted to do this simple yet effective conversion.

And with that, back on topic. Because I'm a bad moderator. ><

 

You know you're a Sisters player when you consider a rhino with a hat the best vehicle in the game...

[Drider]

You know you're a sisters player when you've used a power drill to pin models.

You know you're a Sisters player when you just (literally) bought three more Battle Sisters, two bolter Seraphim and a Sister Superior (with plasma pistol, helm and Chainsword) and have another load of auctions on watch for next week from the same vendor (at the price I got them for, it was stupid not too)...

 

Problem...me? No, I don't have one of those...

 

You know you're a Sisters player when you consider a rhino with a hat the best vehicle in the game...

Er hat? You mean the Exorcist? I never thought of it as a Rhino with a Hat before...

 

Also, you definitely know you're a Sisters player when you see on a 40K FB page some shirts that have variations on the "Straight outta..." theme and lament that there isn't one that says "Straight outta Ophelia VII"

 

Edit: Found a site that does "Straight outta..." and made one myself

I thought he meant the Immo... although tbh either of them because i think the 'hat'is the top plate canopy thingy

I was going to say, isn't this just more proof that sisters are better than GK?

[*Furyou Miko]

Actually she meant the Repressor, lol.

 

It's a rhino with a cool hat. Both in that it's a box on top of a rhino, visually, and it's a more awesome version... and everything is better with hats. XD

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

You know you're a Sisters player when suffer a lack of support in silence, unlike the heretic and the xenos.

I have always taken it as a way of demonstrating how inferior and vulnerable to Chaos the Astartes are.  Half the Legions fallen and countless chapters have fallen over ten millennia but the Sisterhood remains strong a bright shining bulwark against chaos and the corrupting  taint of the warp.  That story for all the rage it stirs up, really shows how pure sisters are in that through their faith they are truly incorruptible.  It's hilarious that mere mortals can withstand the whispers of chaos and witchcraft far greater then the genetically created demi gods.  Even the special snowflakes amidst special snowflakes can't do their job and need a bit of help...

I didn't even know that was tracked. Apparently I've made almost 4.5% of today's posts . . . that's probably not a good thing.

Actually, It looks like you know you're a Sister's player (or Captain Semper) if you have made 10 posts today at the time of this post!

[BitsHammer]

You know you're an Adepta Sororitas player when you launch a crusade against Avalanche Press for having the audacity to hire the foul heretic Matt Ward.

 

Burn the heretics! Let the holy flames cleanse them of their sins!

Eh, he did write good fluff for the WD codex.

 

And the Bloodtide I handwave as not enough editor intervention to make it better. I mean Grey Knights team kill all the time anyways so I won't be mad that we got a turn.

[BitsHammer]

You know your a Sisters player when you remind the Black Templar players on this site of how pure and awesome your army is.

 

Wasn't me, honest. I just try to get them to admit that the Emperor is a proper deity. :P

[WarriorFish]

A Sisters play should know that it is quality not quantity that matters.

 

 

Unless you're talking about your army case's weight - where it's both

[Drider]

You know you're a sisters player when....

 

[Willy Pete]

You know you're a Sisters of Battle player when: You can use your army carrier as free weights for your exercise routine.

 

                                                                              You hit someone with your army carrier and are charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

 

                                                                              You go to the airport with your army carrier and set off the metal detector at 20 feet.

And here it is! Along with two Seraphim, a Sister Superior (plasma/chainsword) and three more Bolter Sisters

When you start calling the "Raging Heroes" model line anything but their name. Bonus points for "Raging Hormones".

When you spend time trying to figure out what music the Exorcist actually plays in battle (my money is on the 1812 Overture or the Anvil Chorus).

 

When you start giving your Exorcists ironic names like "Forgiveness" and "Mercy".

 

When you buy Exorcist kits just to make blinged out Rhinos.

 

When you argue that the Sisters should always look like the Ecclesiarchy spent too much money on tactically useless murals and embellishments as a means of showing of how rich they are (I have an ongoing debate with my local FLGS owner over which version of the Exorcist is better, my vote is on the organ).

When you see the Heresy that is 10 point Marine scouts and want to purge Marine players for having a unit with a better stat line (save armor) for less points when they tell you that Sisters aren't priced wrong.

 

When you screenshot the iBooks page just to show that Sisters are still one of the best selling books in the US for GW.

 

When you keep bothering Forgw World do cover the Age of Apostasy/Reign of Blood.

This one made me lol.

 

 

When you spend time trying to figure out what music the Exorcist actually plays in battle (my money is on the 1812 Overture or the Anvil Chorus).

My bet is that Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and Wagner - Flight of the Valkyries are both going to be in their song sheets.

Still happens. Dunno why it scares people so much.

You're clearly correct, the Organ Exorcist is clearly superior.

A spiritu dominatus, 

Domine, libra nos

 

 

Adding one to the list...

...Any time you have to take a 6++ you yell "SHIELD OF FAITH" to increase your chances of success. 

My best SoF roll has been making 5 saves on a roll of 6 dice. It's all in the voice.

Edited June 2, 2016 by Drider

[BitsHammer]

Exorcists scare people because it's "weird". New update makes it a really good Predator model (turret mounted organ that can hull down behind Rhinos or low cover easilly).

 

Also when you roll 6s for number of shots people tend to switch to wearing brown pants.

 

Though I had a turn where I rolled a one,snap fire and a Necron pastry that was zooming, immobilized it and had it fall out of the sky and kell two warriors....and four Battle Sisters.

 

So it can be pretty fun all around.

 

EDIT: Thinking of Shield of Faith I had an instance after the WD codex came out in 5th where one of my Exorcists outright tanked like a champ versuses 20 Necron Warriors rapid firing into it. I rolled WAY too many sixes for that one and only lost a storm bolter and became immobilized. My opponent was not happy.

 

Thus started the joke that the more annoyed you would be the more likely I would pass my Shield of Faith rolls.

Hull down behind Rhinos is great, although it only really comes into play when you know you've got turn 1 deepstrikes to castle up against or you don't have proper cover in your deployment zone.

 

aye that's the thing though, they feel like they are either crap or amazing, their is just no in between when they are ok. You either roll high and everything hits, in which case they are amazing or you either roll high/average and miss a lot or roll low.

 

I've had a similar experience, i was out of decent targets to shoot at so i just randomly fire a snapshot at a Stormraven on the off chance that i might get a glance, declare target, he elects not to jink, roll 1 shot, hits, gets a pen and the damage table roll comes up 5. BOOM good bye Stormraven.
