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

[Servant of Dante]

 

 

When you play your first ever Blood Bowl game, are told you'll have a hard time at first against optimal teams and shouldn't give up, and the shop manager trows in from afar "don't worry, he plays Sisters.."

If there were flamers in LotR you'd have a sisters of battle army ruleset for Ladies of Gondor too, no ?

 

It's cool, I like the fluffy rules, they should be play-tested !

 

Yeah, they'd have burned that witch Gandalf right away! (hehehe)

[Servant of Dante]

Actually though, if I did play any of the GW LotR games (I do love LotR, I probably would try and shoehorn Sisters into it . . . )

You know your a sisters player when you have 2 unbuilt exorcists because the first one gave you PTSD!

[Drider]

you clearly haven't tried penitent engines yet.

Wait until you have three built and have a fourth to go, along with two Exorcists to complete...

May the Emperor have mercy on your soul.

[Drider]

after you've built a couple penitent engines, an exorcist is nothing. 

[Sister_Miriya]

Are they seriously that bad? I just remember sitting for AGES trying to get the pipes to sit just right, green stuff them together just to have the middle section tip inwards over night and I essentially rage-quit my exorcists....

[Drider]

The trick to the exorcist is the plate the pipes sit on. you have to sort of bend and twist it into the correct shape to sit on top of the tank because either the mold is warped or it warps when it cools after casting. once you do that the pipes themselves are pretty straight forward.

Penitent engines on the other hand... paper clips, a 1mm drill bit and a power drill. This is more or less how i pinned mine. http://i.imgur.com/FCoEqyS.jpg You don't need to worry about the foot/leg pinning if it's standing on two feet, but doing the waist-torso and arms-shoulders-chest is almost mandatory. Even then the glue bonds are prone to break but the pin keeps it together. Pinning the hips-legs are an additional thing that you can do to keep it in one peace but thus far I've not had problems with those joints. Pinning the smoke stack on is another good idea. consider painting sub assemblies before final assembly, trust me when i say, it's a massive headache trying to get a brush into some spots once it's fully built.

 

you know you're a sisters player when... see above.

I just used a crapload of superglue and an electrician's vice (to hold the thing at weird angles while the glue dried). I actually hate the Immolator turret more than the Exorcist or the Penitent engine, in terms of assembly.

I just bought the forgeworld missile rack. My warrior nuns are pragmatic about purging heretics like that.

I know I've said this a thousand times, but the organ Exorcists are half the reason I'm here right now :D totally worth the effort to assemble

I pinned the pipes to the base and trimmed the base a little to make it fit better around the windows. Was pretty painless.

[Sir_Gaea]

My exorcist build consisted of drilling holes through the base and the bottom on the pipes, gluing rods in the the pipes, then using copious amounts of green stuff to make it all one piece. It will stay in one piece, someone was admiring my exorcist, picked it up, and the the pipes (which I didn't glue on so I can transport them more easily) fell on to the game board and bounced onto the floor. Some of the paint flaked off and the store has a chip in the one tile that was slightly raised.

 

Tallest nail gets the hammer indeed.

 

Oddly enough, my base wasn't warped.

[Drider]

all 3 of mine have been horrible, it's like the thing hand been pinched in a vice at the open side of the half circle. getting the damn things to sit flush on top of the tanks has been a an endeavor and a half.

p.s.

 

you know you're a sisters player when you drop a model and you're more worried about the damage to the floor than your model.

[BitsHammer]

...When you have to dodge a falling model so it doesn't break your foot.

[Servant of Dante]

I'd rather it burn my foot than chip my paint job

[Servant of Dante]

^ cant edit my post apparently, but burn is a typo. An appropriate typo, but a typo.

You know you're a SoB player when you have to worry about your models causing thermal damage...

[Rizara]

when you currently have no 40k army to play with (cause you are waiting for affordable sisters in the much anticipated plastic), walk into the gaming store to play a game for a different game system, and the store manager walks up to you with Triumvirate box set in hand trying to appeal to your inner sister with the new Celestine in side.    Your reply to yourself on the inside is man, wish I could split that box to just get Celestine and I have no new troop models for her to lead.

 

 Maybe I should stop talking about sisters when I go into the store and how I am waiting for them....

This! I actually do not like the "new plastic" models so far... I do not like the good ol' winged conversions or the combat stripper heels.... The sisters of silence models though, that is a different story :)

[Servant of Dante]

I think Celestine's wings and the heels are both special cases. I'd hope that any new plastics would look like the current range.

[BitsHammer]

Eh, put heels on all of them f you have to. If they go to plastic I can live with it.

[Goonbandito]

The plastic Celestine could be pretty easily converted without the wings - all you'd need to do would be to find some suitable exhaust vents to put on the spots where the wings go (surely there's something in amongst all your Space Marine bitz that would work).  Celestine would still be hovering above the base of course, but such is the power of Faith.

[BitsHammer]

Celestine had always floated though, she's just more dynamic now.

 

If you don't like the wings you could mix the new model with the old halo and cherub cloak.
