Noeh Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I would...but I have no real sisters of battle models >.>...The funny thing is though..Sisters of Silence models are actually about the same size as the dreamforge/sisters conversions.

ValourousHeart Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Side by side SOB vs SOS Superior vs SouperiorSpecial Weapon vs Special WeaponHopefully this works. Trying to load these images from my iPad. *Edit* Fixed the images. As you can see the new models are slightly taller, about a head taller. But the other dimensions are about the same, as the SOS models don't appear bulky, just taller. It appears to be a similar change that has been happening with the marines.

Servant of Dante Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Well, those Sisters (yes, I mean SoB I WILL NOT CHANGE FOR YOU, GW! ) look really good! I like the color scheme.

ValourousHeart Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thanks Dante, I appreciate the complement.  The Order of the Gossamer Shroud, a Hospitalor minor order under the Order of the Valorous Heart. Previously assigned to the ill-fated St. Josmane's Hope prison world, Cadian Sector.  Canoness Desa and a small contingent of her order were aboard what is believed to be the only ship that made it off world before the Chaos blockade had been formed.  Currently stationed aboard Stargazer's Revenge, under the command of Inq Devinshire.

Zoatibix Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The height increase is expected. Â I hope that SOB are a little broader, especially across the shoulders, to fit with them wearing power armour. Â The SOS silhouette is more slender than the SOB I think/hope. Â Although I don't know if the SOS wear PA. Â Thank you for the comparison shot.

A.T. Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 SoS are in power armor as well. Are they stated to be in power armour in the new fluff? Historically they had a form of artificier-carapace armour, unpowered.

sedibear Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I don't see anything about their armor in the datasheets but they do have a 3+. Â I also don't have a problem if the rumored new line of Sisters will be slightly taller. Adds some variety to our roughly less than 20 poses. :P Â 32mm bases though. Hmm.

Noeh Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Oh my bad, I guess they probably just have carapace armor like SoB. On the playing field it works entirely the same though.

Zoatibix Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I just cracked open my BoP box. Â According to the rules in there Sisters of Silence do indeed wear Power Armour. Â I am curious as to the bareness of some the SOS armour. I was expecting a lot of detailing. I wonder - and this is wild speculation - if the plastic sisters of battle will share the same CAD designs but with more Holy Bing.

tvih Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Frankly the SoS models seem too slender at some spots to represent power armor, or much of any armor really. Mind you they look nice overall.

Same issue a lot of the Sisters models have (again, I will not stop referring to Sisters of Battle as Sisters :P) but yeah, the SoS is taller than the Sister, but her ankle is thinner!

tvih Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 It's indeed the height that makes it so obvious. SoB are shorter and thus "smaller" so the thin "spots" aren't so obvious.

Mind you they look nice overall. The models are true to the old images (where they had carapace armour). Â IMO the best representations of Sororitas armour are in the witch hunter book where you can see the bulk to it. Though strictly speaking it doesn't need to be any more than the armour plate and a minimal powered exoskeleton, compared to the astartes stuff it doesn't cover over the extensive strength-enhancing fibre-muscles and supporting framework and heavy cabling, void sealing, life support, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327192-sisters-of-silence-with-sisters-of-battle-differences/page/2/#findComment-4562375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Pete Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I can't be sure, but looking closely at the pictures it looks like the base for the SoS is slightly taller than the base for the SoB. This could explain why they look taller.

I just measured against 5-6 different base types    Also on a slightly unrelated note.. if anyone else out there can't leave a model as is and isn't a fan of the top knots that Sisters of Silence have, you can clip it off and adjust it to a 45 degree or lower angle and suddenly it's a ponytail instead. I just did that to all 5 of mine and I feel it looks nicer.

tvih Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I don't like the top knots myself. I wish they had full helmets, the mask looks nice but it'd be even nicer if it extended into a full helmet as an option. One of the heads has the mask extend upward to cover the face, but not the sides or the back of the head. A shame. By contrast I dislike the helmets of the Custodians as well as those of Mark III marines :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327192-sisters-of-silence-with-sisters-of-battle-differences/page/2/#findComment-4563181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives a full-face visor look which I find looks nice with the ponytail conversions.
