ERJAK Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 not BSB related... but not worth its own thread IMH But looking at the xmas battleforces & the new SM/Chaos SC boxs.... I think we can make a guess of next years Sisters SC box! The contents of this army box just without the codex, dice & cards While them being monopose and lacking options is dissappointing for an SC! The raw model count would still make it a pretty decent value, which is why they'll either strip whatever models the sprues allow or they just won't make an SC! Box.

Montford Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 In person SoB model pics https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VHS6IH-MS/ At least two I have not seen before: the Sacred Rose Sister pointing and carrying her boltgun, and the (Canoness?) with the Condemnor boltgun. The new PE doesn't excite me but all the others look quite good. MoshJason 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as far as i can tell neither of those are in the box (although the Sister Superior or whatever she is does show up in the Chinese leak pics, or at least a variation of her does). The both look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher956 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 The one with the condemer I took to be a celestian as BSBs did say they would have more armour bling to help distinguish them from the standard battle sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Damn these looks badass. I haven't generally been too big of a fan of the older Rhino designs, but these... damn. Absolutely gotta get one of each. Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra and Progenitor 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 They do look great, and my only niggle with the Exorcists (the helmet on the organist) can easily be replaced. However, the Immolator, as mentioned in the other thread in News went from wow to NO in the time from seeing to comprehending the stained glass window. It is a nice touch and as a set piece I love it, but in the form it is on the tank it just does not do it for me. Please please let there be a better option.

ThePenitentOne Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Wow... Best. Tanks. Ever. I had been worried when the Rhino didn't have the special top piece that they'd go less shrine. Instead, they dialed it up! I had been tempted to buy an old immo and an old exorcist- giving me 2 of each; then I figured, I could get one of each of the new ones. Then they sold out faster than I could gather the funds. I'm glad they did, because now I'll get 2 of each new kit instead. My old versions will look small by comparison. It's a bummer we have to wait. But I'm happy it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taikishi Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Still don't like pipe organ exorcist, but happy for those of you that do. Notice both have heavy bolters in their hulls, which neither had before. :thinking: Montford 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why the turret wouldn't work fine without it. If that is an option then I will take it, however looking at it the frame for it seems to be integrated with weapons mounts. I am also not sure how turret like that contraption is. I know such things matter less in this edition but it would still feel weird to fixed facing forward only.

ERJAK Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Anyone else noticing the extra heavy bolters that weren't an option before? Edit: Taikishi did. Well at least that congirms new options for existing models. Dual twin heavy flamer pengines it is! Edited November 2, 2019 by ERJAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Huh, good point about the HB taikishi. I hope they'll include the option not to use the hull HB in the codex rules due to the previous models, though. It's possible to add one of course but kind of an ugly hack with my modeling "skills".

Slasher956 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) My response if that options is there ....If they rules says my official model has it...then it has it... If your going to complain then feel free to buy me the new one! Edited November 2, 2019 by Slasher956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrus Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Okay. That im immolator look absolutely a-freaking-mazing! I've not been excited for anything this release until this moment. Exorcist looks nice and while I've got 3 already, I might grab t h is one to act as a fancy Chamber Leader. Want a better look at the pipe organ bit as I adore that on the old one and can't see in the pic clearly how much of that aesthetic is retained.

Montford Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I'm already thinking about ways to magnatize a heavy bolter to the hulls of my five Immolators. Edited November 2, 2019 by Montford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) I can't look at that without my mind instantly going to Toccata and Fugue in D minor. EDIT: I just noticed the heavy bolter. Oh my. The Immolator also has one. Edited November 3, 2019 by Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePenitentOne Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I actually like the organists helmet. I'd like to make a foot trooper version of a sister with that helmet- maybe for a Kill Team or something. Same with the gunner head. You could then use the swapped out heads on the gunner and organist. The stained glass is super easy to convert. The first step is cutting out the pane of glass itself; it's easy because the frame guides the cut. Once the pane is removed, the gunner will be exposed. The posts on the frame will still be super tall, so if you like the windowless look, you'll probably still want to shorten these down. If you don't want to go full on windowless, I see two options. First, you could cross cut it with a fret saw and a kitbash mitre box. Cut it just below the fleur de lys in the circles for a short window, or cut it below the four rounded diamonds beneath the fleurs for a medium length. Cut to the medium length first, then refit it into the empty frame. If it's still too tall, cut it to the short length. Either way, you'll want to finish the conversion by appropriately resizing the posts on the frame. I always like distinguishing a command vehicle for every squadron. So for every 3 immos, one has the full glass and the other two as mediums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I love the old Exorcist, actually it was what got me interested in the Sisters line of models. The helmet on the new one isn't doing it for me, the old one had so much passion for whatever they were playing. Also, the missiles poking out of the tubes seems weird to me. As for the immo, it looks cool as a one-of centerpiece, but maybe too much for a line transport. Sorta surprised I'm saying that since I love the ornate look usually. Maybe I'll like it more when I see one in person. The flamers look pretty great I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The one downside to such awesome vehicles is that I still don't like the look of my Argent Shroud vehicles! I wish I could paint proper good-looking silvery vehicles (I know it's possible). The black scheme on these just looks so fantastic by comparison.

ValourousHeart Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Anyone else wondering if those front heavy bolters might have the Trinity options for that weapon point just like the turret? I'm getting a vibe that sisters are taking a cue from IG on this one. Chimeras also have a front weapon port like this, with limited options. The one downside to such awesome vehicles is that I still don't like the look of my Argent Shroud vehicles! I wish I could paint proper good-looking silvery vehicles (I know it's possible). The black scheme on these just looks so fantastic by comparison. Have you tried the silver spray from GW with a wash of Nuln Oil? I did that for the under panels for my Imperial Knights, and it looks good. Obviously you'll need to do a little more than that to break up the monotony, maybe pick out details or large sections with a bright silver, red, and white.

ThePenitentOne Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The other thing I like about both of these tanks is that it looks like it would be easy to create a pulpit for a preacher to deliver a sermon- Taddeus comes to mind. Again, a fan of having a command vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicHat Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I reckon it would look cool if the missiles were in various stages of being launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjulhu Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 So what are the odds that the front mounted heavy weapon comes as standard as a way to force existing players conditioned into WYSIWYG to have to get new tanks?
