micahwc Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Group shots http://imgur.com/TBoxkRp http://imgur.com/xRuTKqy http://imgur.com/cmf4VnV I redid some of the tabards at work, and then added some miliput to the backs. I plan on adding some hoods once I have heads, either up, or bunched around the back of the neck. Basically instead of tabards they are becoming "Battle Habits" attached at the shoulder of the power armor. I found a cool paper punch of a fleur de lis online. Ordered it. Hopefully I can punch some fleur de lis' out and put these on the shoulder pads. They are about 1/5th" so hopefully they will fit on shoulder pads without too much trouble.

Servant of Dante Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Those Death Company backpacks look good, though since I recognize them it's hard not to think Blood Angels when I see them.

Was thinking of getting some FW heavy weapons, but not sure how they would fit. So with this great news, I will wait :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321451-alternative-sisters/page/14/#findComment-4713235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Shift Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Because they come from Russia my Grishnak models have been held by customs for inspection indefinitely so a word of caution on big orders. Will let you guys know when they get released!

CrusherJoe Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Here's my first War Maiden -- part of my new Sisters army I'm calling The Order of the Black Iris (an idea I conceived in 2009).

micahwc Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Has anyone tried converting the sisters of silence? They are about $20 for a box of 5 on eBay and they come with 5 bolters and 5 flamers. I think swapping a Statuesque female head onto them would make a fairly convincing battle sister.

Beams Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The sisters of silence look surprisingly (or not, computer assisted design and all) like Deldar models. I'm sure you could get a decent battle sister out of them, though.

micahwc Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I got some feedback on my sister conversions that the Arms where way too big. I just ordered 3 boxes of SOS, i will put the bolt gun / flamer arms on my SOBs and equip the SOSs with great blades. For 8th I'm looking at an Imperium 2 force. 3 battle sister squads of 5, 3 sisters of silence squads, 2 guard platoons, and an ordo Hereticus inquisitor. I'll have 3 rhinos, 2 exorcists, and probably add some IG tank support.

grimsanity Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Has anyone tried converting the sisters of silence? They are about $20 for a box of 5 on eBay and they come with 5 bolters and 5 flamers. I think swapping a Statuesque female head onto them would make a fairly convincing battle sister. I have a squad of 20 SOS I'm using as basic sisters with statuesque heads. They look really good adding heavy weapons(heavy flamer, multi melta) is alittle difficult.

micahwc Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I saw a website the other day that had sister like models at very reasonable prices, about 5 pounds for 5 models. They looked okay. I can't remember the website though and haven't been able to find it again. It was something fox miniatures. Guy made the models originally for his wife to use in kill team games as sisters of battle. Any ideas on the website? Anyone else see these?

TheOneTrueZon Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Correspondence has informed me that heavy weapon sets will hopefully be complete / available by the end of June. Weapons will be available as an "upgrade" sprue for the existing miniatures, with new sculpts landing at the end of 2017. Via Grishnak site on VK: It's also worth noting that I recently discovered that the Grisnak heads are the perfect scale for head swaps on Raging Hero miniatures. I will post some images tonight of recent work that shows this wonderful combination.

Noserenda Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Quick Question really, i was thinking of adding a squad or two of Sisters to my Imperial forces, probably using the Dreamforge bodies and the mounds of random Marine guns i have in the bitz box but what i was after was the Iconic Bob haircuts or Sabbat helms on a sprue from someone? Is there anyone out there selling something like that? Im not a fan of the random haircuts of most female head sprues and id rather not go skinhead.. Id be forced to freehand devotional tattoos and go quite mad :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321451-alternative-sisters/page/14/#findComment-4781095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beams Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 All of our battle sisters are metal, and most companies trying to crib the sisters don't do so that blatantly. That said, Grishnak war maidens are super blatantly sisters of battle, but you'd have to buy the whole thing, and they are in a different scale. Besides that, I've never seen Sabat helms or Bob haircuts for sale anywhere. You might check shapeways?

robofish7591 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The immolator gunner is the only source of plastic sisters heads that I am aware of. It may be kind of spendy to get a decent amount of them though.
