zarnak21 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 So I've been after a cost effective-gamesworkshop-OK alternative to the metal sister. This is my latest idea. Lets hear what you think. I think you could do these rather cheep if you pick up all the bits from online.

Doctor Perils Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I think that looks rather nice actually ! I'd probably like to see a bit more plate armour, but you can't have everything. At least the admech helmet and the bolter make you immediately think it's a sister :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316776-sister-of-battle-conversion-idea/#findComment-4243719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not a huge fan of the head, and it's missing the distinctive shoulder pads but it looks ok.

WarriorFish Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Not too bad, but I agree the head needs to be the sabbat helm or nothing. Shoulder pads would help too, that way the chainmail can look almost decorative as if its on top of the power armour.

zarnak21 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah I guess it's never going to look exactly like a SOB. But I think if you trim the shoulder pads, round them off a bit they'll look much better. The other thing which would be possible is to make some green stuff helmets, although there is one mechanicus helmet which is very close to a SOB helmet which could be changed to fit. So based on these ideas I have come up with: (old pic for ref) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316776-sister-of-battle-conversion-idea/#findComment-4244074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think they both look pretty good. Easily explained as a slightly different pattern of armour, supplied on contract by a different Forgeworld than usual. Were I you I would get an Immolator and make a latex mold of both of the gunner's heads. Bing bang boom, Sabbat pattern helmet or bob cut for any model you like. Although I personally think the AdMech helmet is close enough that in the context of the rest of the model it looks just fine, and would look even better with the whole model painted in the appropriate colour scheme.

Kastor Krieg Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 What is the base model? Dark Elf WFB infantry? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316776-sister-of-battle-conversion-idea/#findComment-4244111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naminé Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I think they both look good but the mock-up for the revised version definitely works better.

Sororita Katya Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I like it a lot although I would try to remove or smooth as many of the spikes as possible to remove the dark elf/Eldar flair Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316776-sister-of-battle-conversion-idea/#findComment-4246707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
