Ishagu Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Between Celestine and Canoness Veridyan, I guess I have the makings of a Sisters army. Celestine is tiny, she's so small but the model is absolutely incredible, and the rules - Wow. She's going to be in a lot of armies. The Emperor is generous with his miracles it seems :-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329848-im-one-of-you-now/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Are you planning to start a real Sisters army, or an allied detachment, or just Celestine?

Ishagu Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I will actually have an allied detachment. I really like the scheme and rules for Sisters. In honesty, it wouldn't take much to get me to start an army. I just have a bit of a backlog to get through (Custodes, Assault Marines, Ad Mech, Stormsword) Also, the Castellan detachment is very interesting to me. I wouldn't mind a few squads here and there alongside my Ultras :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329848-im-one-of-you-now/#findComment-4623529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isolia Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Welcome ! I also started with a small detachment 13ish years ago , and they are my main force now :) you'll see ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329848-im-one-of-you-now/#findComment-4623562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yeah, I originally just wanted an allied force, but it all of a month for that idea to be corrected :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329848-im-one-of-you-now/#findComment-4623563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Between Celestine and Canoness Veridyan, I guess I have the makings of a Sisters army. Celestine is tiny, she's so small but the model is absolutely incredible, and the rules - Wow. She's going to be in a lot of armies. The Emperor is generous with his miracles it seems :-D Yeah, she's so damn small. But well, she's human. I am used to work on Stormcasts, which are basically twice her size :D But yeah, I am feeling tempted as well. I tried Sisters multiple times in the past, going as far beating Flyrants and Tau, but it never stuck, because they weren't fun to play. Now that we have Celestine and plastic conversion possibilities with Sisters of Silence, I am considering it anew.

Servant of Dante Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Huh. I've always thought they were fun, but I do lose a lot XD. That seems to fit the fluff at least.

Frater Cornelius Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Huh. I've always thought they were fun, but I do lose a lot XD. That seems to fit the fluff at least. Funnily enough, Sisters have my best win rate by far, but that may be because I never played them as extensively as other armies. I am sure it would normalize over times. The reason I found them boring, however, is becaus I dislike Mech MSU. I tend to like armies with one central unit and other supporting it. Not quite Death Star, as I tend to not overcommit, but it has similarities. And most of all, I prefer defensive capabilities and staying power over raw output. When you are stuck playing Exorcists, Rhino/Immo BSS, Repressor Dominions and Seraphim with Celestine (the old one), it certainly does not excite me as much, which is a shame because the style is gorgeous.

Servant of Dante Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Ah, I know what you mean. As a Blood Angels player, I did enjoy running 10 Sanguinary Guard with a (Snaguninary) Priest and Dante, or 7 assault termis in a LRC with Corbulo. I suppose I got over that though with Sisters. The aesthetic of the army is enough. Sisters really don't have any single unit that can just erase stuff by itself. 20 battle Sisters with a couple priests can be survivable, but they are cumbersome to use and attract pie plates. I actually don't do MSU BSSs. Dominions, sure, but I like 9 Sisters in a rhino with a priest. And I always run my 10 Seraphim. They don't usually do much, but I run them anyway :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329848-im-one-of-you-now/#findComment-4623954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't usually do much, but I run them anyway To me, the greatest appeal was always the 'faith' part and the strongly religious feel without spilling over into the purely theocratic. They are not just fighting forces, but they also build hospitals and actually try to help people. They are regular humans that push themselves to heights beyond even a Marine through pure faith. I suppose that is also why I like the Argent Shroud the best, on top of their fluff.

robofish7591 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 That's what attracted me to sisters as well. I really liked that they were just regular humans, I also really liked the religious imagery. Something about tanks with church organs mounted on the back firing missiles just screams "this is 40k" to me.

Ishagu Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Guys. I just painted Saint Celestine. I've put the picture on the B&C Facebook page.

Ishagu Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks guys, much appreciated. I'm currently working on her bodyguards. I was hoping to have them done already but I've had quite a busy week. Celestine and the two Gemini twins are incredibly fragile models, literally feel like they'll snap in your hand. I wad thinking of running them in a list during my next game, but I'm now waiting on some thick foam trays for me to use for transportation. You really have to be incredibly careful!

tvih Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Is it possible the leave out the scrollworks without leaving obvious attachment spots visible on the rest of the model? My problem with the Celestine especially is that she'll gobble up a LOT of space from a foam tray with her scrollwork assembly.

My problem with the Celestine especially is that she'll gobble up a LOT of space from a foam tray with her scrollwork assembly. Celestine's not too bad - there's a groove at the bottom of her cloak where the scrolls slot in, but that should be fairly easily covered up with some Purity Seals or something. The Geminae have the scroll molded as part of the leg assembly though. You'd have to very carefully file it back and probably repair any damage with some greenstuff.
