Servant of Dante Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'm alright with them, i can understand why people would want to buy them and i wouldn't boycott playing them because of it. They're just not for me. Well yeah I wouldn't refuse to play someone because they where using third party models, but I might make a point of using my GW sisters.

Drider Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 At this point Having a legit GW sisters army is going to become a point of pride with all the 3rd party stuff coming out that people can opt to use. Obviously having a converted army ranks higher than having a 3rd party army on the grounds that it shows true love and commitment to the sisterhood.

dracpanzer Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I like the TGG:2 stuff and the Grishnak stuff as well. Saying we all are put off by them may be a bit much. I won't be buying either of them to mix in with my Sisters because I don't like aesthetic changes in my units, but that's all on me. The fantasy stuff will probably be a possibility for AoS. I do look forward to the Huntress as an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor though.

Obviously having a converted army ranks higher than having a 3rd party army on the grounds that it shows true love and commitment to the sisterhood. I just honestly like the official models the best. This also creeps into my dislike of counts-as. In my opinion, the official models are what they look like in the canon. If you met a sister, her armour would look like a GW model, but bigger. Therefore, I accept no substitutes, although the grishnak sisters are basically GW sisters, but plastic. I like the TGG:2 stuff and the Grishnak stuff as well.

The fantasy stuff will probably be a possibility for AoS. I do look forward to the Huntress as an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor though. You're right (although I said majority, not all). Of course people like them. Everything has someone who likes it. I'll admit that I probably let my personal distaste bleed into my post a little too much.

BitsHammer Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 They've already popped up on ebay: http://ebay.co.uk/itm/131824434924?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&_mwBanner=1 Grishnak is supposed to be getting a proper store up for English speakers as well. Someone paid $105 for 5 knock-off Sisters of Battle?It was an auction. When I first looked they were cheaper. And they're good quality knock offs at least. Bet you could probably buy a set and recast them if that was your thing.

Spacefrisian Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If this is the work of a guy in a basement molding his own then it bitch slaps the rumors that GW was trying to make plastic sisters but keeps delaying it because they couldn't figure out how to do the cloth parts right... Games Workshop may be telling the truth when they say they "couldn't figure out how to do the cloth parts right," meaning the sculptors they hired to sculpt the Adepta Sororitas, are INCOMPETENT. Forge World's Primarchs demonstrates the company DOES have competent sculptors in its employ, but these sculptors are NOT being asked to sculpt new Adepta Sororitas models. You'd think the company would realize its INACTION will only drive more customers into third parties' arms. I call bogus on that, just look at the High Elf Sisters of Averlorn. Its more like GW doesnt want to make battle sisters.

Its more like GW doesnt want to make battle sisters. As has been noted the probable main issue isn't making the cloth, it's making multipose minatures with flowing cloth that doesn't look stupid when the pose doesn't match the flow of cloth. E.g a model standing straight up and down, with a loincloth hanging down, but with the sleeves giving all the impression of being caught in a stiff breeze.

BitsHammer Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Your snark is adorable, but hardly helpful. You can rag on the design team if you want, but Jes Goodwin, aka the man who made Dark Eldar look fekking fantastic, was the one who relayed the issues with the casting and design of the Sisters being a past problem. The same man who can make a nearly perfectly symmetrical master by hand for the Crimson Hunter (they talked about it in the WD and how when they went to scan it the thing was nearly perfect despite not being done in a computer first). So yeah, when he says there are issues I'm willing to go out on a limb and say there are legitimate issues that make it hard to put Sisters in plastic. Or at least did at one point. We can't see inside of GW's warehouse to know if Sisters are sitting there waiting to be released or not, and it could be that they are. It's not like GW hasn't had 2+ year delays between creating molds and releasing kits before. And for all we know Goodwin and the other sculptors could be taking the Sisters on as a side project in their free time (like he did Dark Eldar) which means the eventual release will take longer since it'll be something that's being done between the eight billion other things that are going on in the design department.

Evil Eye Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Hmm, these look pretty damn good. They're not generic sci-fi like the Dreamforge ones and they aren't awful cheesecake schlock like Raging Hormones. The only problem I have with them is that they look so sister-y that I'd feel kinda bad about using them- they seem just a little bit TOO close to knock-off territory, even if they are superb quality. Not, of course, that I need to be starting a Sisters army as well with my CSM, Daemons and Nids still under construction of course...

Aqui Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 As I said on one of the Sisters FB pages, it's possibly the best one they've done yet, except that she has too many sets of wings. I realise that in some depictions, Angels have more than one set, but on this model it looks like the designer/sculptor has gone over board. Still, the only reason I'd get it would be for personal display - I'll never be able to use it in a GW and my local scene meets up on days/nights I can't attend due to work, so she'd never see a game table.

dracpanzer Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 True, but weren't seraphim supposed to have two sets, biblical seraphim anyways? Second set, the smaller ones would be easy to remove from the looks of things.
