sedibear Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 When you have to explain a codex's worth of rules to each opponent before you play. The codex IS pretty small, though. >.< Servant of Dante and Naminé 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288225-you-know-youre-a-sister-of-battle-player-when/page/9/#findComment-4249725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 You know you're a Sisters player when: You bought (yet) another Seraphim Superior on ebay to make the total of six, even though you only have enough regular Seraphim to make two squads (and what's worse is, I'm watching another one. Even if that one is twice the price of the one you just bought...) When you watch an ebay lot of 79 Sisters of various models (including a Female Inquisitor) and forget to set a maximum bid to offset the fact that you're at work when the auction ends and find out that it went for far less than it would have cost retail...and pray to the Emperor for forgiveness for missing such a huge opportunity /cries *Furyou Miko 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288225-you-know-youre-a-sister-of-battle-player-when/page/9/#findComment-4259841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Well, its not like Seraphim aren't the easiest models in the range to convert to other purposes, lol... But I keep saying to myself "Are you actually going to field more than two squads?" and the reply from my inner Sister is "That isn't the point!" I have to say that I'm very surprised at just how much I've taken to my Sisters. They were originally going to be a (welcome) alternative to Post Human Power Armour (Loyalist and Chaotic), but they taken over as my main army now...

(Also, I'm buying 4 models at $12.25 each, so I win) We should get bonus VP in game based on the retail prices of our armies.

In 1997, I started with Necrons because I couldn't buy any Sisters anywhere. In 1999, I started Eldar because the Necrons didn't have a 3e list and I couldn't buy any Sisters anywhere. In 2004, I stopped playing. In 1011, I started Sisters. I've dabbled in other armies since, but I get bored of playing them after a couple of months. I've never gotten bored of my Sisters.

Sororita Katya Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Storm Bolters are like Nougat, they don't count. I laughed more at this than I'd like to admit...I just have them for different variants of sister slightly. On a similar note I am currently converting the sister of Sigmar superior into a shotgun toting Jacobus for the same reason. I'm going to nickname her Ursula Jacobus instead :) *Furyou Miko 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288225-you-know-youre-a-sister-of-battle-player-when/page/9/#findComment-4264702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I steal my jokes from the best. Ursula's a good one.
