important question:


What kind of diapers do battle sisters wear?

>>51006497
Presumably the same kind as Iron Man

the thickness of the thighs in both those pictures doesn't take the plate/armour thickness into consideration, which is mostly why the curve of her hips to waist ends up being so drastic.

>>51006497
I think same as Space Marines. So no diapers, just urinary catheter and filters so you can drink it right back. And something like a colostomy bag.
Or something like the current astronauts :

>>51004144
Since the two main convent can house only 15000 sisters (and each contain 3 major orders), an order of 200k sisters is extremely unlikely.
Sisters orders don't work like monastic orders IRL, but are an unit based on a main convent. Implicitely, new convent means new order (since GW didn't decide to base new orders on doctrinal or religious schisms).

God no.

Sisters need to move AWAY from being Diet Space Marines, not move further towards it.

>>51009707
>Why is your armor painted like a naked version of yourself?
>To celebrate the perfection of the human form, of course. Also it increases guardsman efficiency on the theater by 730%

>>51009864
I agree with this man.
But how could we make sisters more distinct from marines ?beside acts of faith, because that argument would take multiple threads on its own.

>>51009999
Double down on the acts of faith, emphasize how important belief is and give feats and abilities based off of that. For mission set, emphasize that they're less like a line combat unit and more a low-density spec ops unit. Sure, they have larger organizations, but they tend to operate in smaller units: solo, pairs, and choirs.

>>51009864
>>51009999

Alright, maybe that's a bit far-out.
What about frontal assault Sisters? Something like a cross between Seraphim and Repentias, fully-armoured but with massive power claymores.

Now THAT is something I can get behind.

They need their own psychic discipline with Emperor faith magic.

>>51010430
That's essentially the purpose of Act of Faith and Shield of Faith.

Anyone else been waiting their entire hobby careers for this? I'm finally going to buy Sisters models and I'm going to buy an entire army.

>>51010483
Well, I'm pretty happy with most of Imperial Agents, except that Inquisitors STILL don't have an Invuln save short of going Malleus and getting Terminator armor (Commissars and priests get refractor fields and rosariuses, but Inquisitors don't?) and that the Sister formation is pretty poor, especially compared to other army's formations.

If it did something like maybe bumping SoF to 5++, or maybe even make rerolling 1s a constant thing, I'd be satisfied. But rerolling 1s for saves for one turn is not ideal. Hell, I'd even be content with it if it at least gave Objective Secured as well, but not even that. There's not much incentive to take the formation over the standard Force Org.

It's also a shame there's still no line revamp, but at least that means I can keep using the metal Sisters I bought second-hand. Also, I can keep feeling like a snowflake, since not a lot of people can afford a Sisters army.

>>51009999
Make them a dedicated anti-psyker army. Better DtW than other armies (even psyker-heavy ones) and more anti-psyker weapons/formations. Also give them more short-range weapons based around the holy trinity of bolter, flamer, and melta.

>>51010430
Faith powers have never worked like psychic powers, in any edition. This is because, simply put, they aren't. Making the Sisters just a bunch of psykers would do little to help distinguish them from other armies (especially psyker-heavy) SM armies.

Not to mention that this would mean you could bring a bunch of psykers to give your sisters more warp charges for manifesting AoF and vice versa, which would be awful.

>>51010494
This sounds cool af.

>>51010611
My main complaint with the Sisters side of IA was the fact that they separated the Ecclesiarchy Battle Conclave units without giving them the rules necessary to function on their own. Death Cult Assassins need Infiltrate and Fleet, Arco-flagellants need Fleet as well. Crusaders are alright on their own, but nothing spectacular thanks to the lack of assault vehicles.

>>51010494
Is that from new WD?

>>51010850
Burning of prospero dataslates, it's custodes gear (basically, it's to a twin-linked bolt pistol what a stormbolter is to a twin-linked boltgun).

How's that? I tried to keep them in line with the Seraphims:

ABALIM

Abalim WS4 BS4 S3(5) T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8 3+
Abalim Superior WS4 BS4 S3(5) T3 W1 A2 Ld9 3+

Points: 65
Unit Composition: 5 Abalim

Wargear: Power armour, heavy chainsword (S+2 AP5), bolt caster (12" S4 AP5 Assault 2, Hail of Firre), frag grenades, krak grenades, jump pack
Special Rules: Act of Faith, Crusader, Hit & Run, Shield of Faith.

Act of Faith: Emperor's Judgement
One use only. This Act of Faith can be used in your Assault phase. If successful, all models in the Abalim unit gain the Fear special rule until the end of the current phase.

Options:
>May include up to 10 additional Abalim – 13pts/model
>Any Abalim may replace her heavy chainsword with a relic blade (S+2 AP3) – 5pts/model
>May upgrade one Abalim to an Abalim Superior – 10pts
>The Abalim superior may replace her heavy chainsword with a pair of lightning claws (S- AP3 Shred) – 10pts
>The Abalim Superior may take melta bombs – 5pts

>>51009864

It also really doesn't work considering that the creation of Terminator Armor is supposed to be a long and intensive process with SM Chapters being lucky to have enough suits for their entire first company. You'd have to resort to something bulky that either offers a 3+ save and has some kind of benefit that isn't too good or armor that offers a +2 save but which has drawbacks more severe than Terminator Armor.

>>51010715
>Not to mention that this would mean you could bring a bunch of psykers to give your sisters more warp charges for manifesting AoF and vice versa, which would be awful.
It could still work if you gave them some debuff when allied psykers are nearby. Or make them try to deny the witch even when targeted by support powers.

>>51012470
Artificer armor is just master-crafted power armor and it gives a 2+ (but not the invulnerable save of the crux terminatus, nor the ability to take the cool termie weapons)

>>51012491

It had kind slipped my mind that the benefits of Terminator Armor is the 5++ save, Deep Strike, and armory. So at most you'd have to pick one of those and have some kind of drawback.

>>51012528
Sisters already have an invulnerable saves with shiled of faith and deep strikes with seraphims or drop pods; and terminator weapons aren't really what they're famous for, as they like their bolt-flame-melta triangle a lot.

If you want tougher sisters without making them marines bis, how about ceramite shields that allow to reroll failed 3+ saves? Increased protection, but not against weapons with good AP.

Meanwhile, chibi sororitas.

I don't think sisters should be inherently tougher, they're supposed to be somewhere between Guard and Marines in terms of durability, which is about where they sit right now. Maybe give units like Canonesses and Celestians optional Artificer armor, but that's about as far as it should go IMO.

One thing I would like Sisters to see, at the risk of them leaning on Space Marine territory, are some chevalier Sisters on bikes with power lances, or something to that effect.

Hm. Give them access to a larger array of support vehicles and aircraft? They do regularly take on enemies that are fully capable of meeting an Astartes head on with a 50-50 chance of success. Having the extra firepower and tactical flexibility would fit for them

Faith may drive an army to victory, but fire support wins the battles.

Like it write it self, make it a lone character that buffs units around it.

But it would be too cool and given to marines because girls are gross.

>>51018596
Impirial requisition. As long you have an Inquisitor in your army you can buy any Impirial vehicle as dedicated transport or its corresponding FoC.

You need some Sentinels? There you have it now.
Need some Valks for Deepstriking Repentias because fuck it? There you have it.

Leave the stats of the vehicles as they, people will find a way to abuse it, so keeping guard shit at BS3 might prevent that a bit.


Also give AoF as psyker powers, like the old minor powers. Like I do not know every SoB faction thingy gives one AoF charge.

>>51019303
Give the Sisters Valks, but keep the crews and stats the same. The Valkyries can be lore-wise "on loan" until the Sisters get around to training their own crews and pilots, so until then you have Guardsmen in black flight suits with fluer-de-lis patches getting called "sister" on the Vox.

(Over the Vox): "Strike well, sister!"
The Pilot: *Shakes his head* "Irony, thy name is Soritas."

>>51022465
>"Irony, that name is Soritas"
CoPilot/Gunner: "What you get for calling us 'sir' all the time. Consider it The Emperors Karma."
Pilot: "You know, trainees are just supposed to be quiet and agree with their superior."
CP/G: *Snort*
Pilot: "NOt that I really /object/ to a Soritas calling me 'sister' it is a title of respect, after a.
Pilot: "I just don't have the figure for it. Don't want to start a trend. Traitor platoon, seven low."
CP/G: *Laughs* "On it, engaging with chainguns. And don't worry, the extra corset the Cannoness grabbed should do the trick."
Pilot."...wait, what?"

>>51019303

Dear, reality
Plz give me a Sisters in terminator armor with an abusive amount of sister-approved weapon options, like flamers, more flamers, heavy flamers, bolters that shoot bolts on fire, a mace that's actually just a metla on the end of a stick like a big blow torch that's in the shape of a mace, ect. Because that would be cool.

>>51038361
No, we do not want female space marine god damn it.

This is why we have like what 3/4 of the product line of 30k and 40k just fucking marines.

It was fun, but it is getting retardad. Specially when FW is having a colosal hardon for dreadnoughts they have like 20? 30? 50? I would not be surprise if they have 100 dreadnought variants right now

>>51038469

>>51038361

Eh, I feel like terminator armour is a bit cliche.

Artificer armour is more fitting for a human and for the Ecclessiarchy's 'We have all the fucking dosh ever' and that gives them a 2+/6+ which is only a little worse. That and it's more ornate.

What I would like to see is the SOB get a bit more in the way of unusual ranged weapons. As right now 'They use the marine list but smaller' doesn't do well for them. Give them napalm grenade launchers or a railgun firing those anti-psyker stakes at incredible speed.

This.

Suggestions to make Sisters more "unique" by giving them a bunch of peripheral Imperial units is the complete opposite of making them unique, it's making them an Imperial grab bag. They need more wargear to call their own.

Bolters with chainsword bayonets would be something I could see them using, giving some kind of close combat bonus like +1 Initiative on the charge or something. But I also just masturbate the idea to Lancers in 40k.

>>51038540

That weapon exists (Or it did in the 3e codex).

It gave them reroll to wounds if they had no other special melee weapon.

These days it would likely count as a melee weapon itself. AP 5, Str: As User, Rerolls to Wound or something.

>>51038540
>>51038557
Giving them back options they had in 3e and then moving on with the potential they had there is really all that needs to happen. Blessed ammunition for ignoring the Daemon special rule (I doubt they'd allow ignoring all Invul saves anymore), expanding on the 'holy trinity' with some of the more modern takes on flamers and melta weapons, maybe another unit type or two of Sister to get into the giant robot game that's so popular recently, etc.

>>51038557
>>51038540

They are not Guard size nor too small as marines.

I'd love to see the non-battle sister orders have a bit more of a showing in various roles. They'd also be good way to fill in some roles that the SOB themselves don't.

Like say, the Order Pronatus would be a good option if you wanted something a bit more light armoured without going to 'Look, SOB versions of space marine scouts by making it rookie sisters'.

Sister Pronatus WS 3 BS 4 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 LD8
Pronatus Superior WS 3 BS 4 S3 T3 W1 I4 A1 LD9

Abilities:
Move Through Cover
Stealth
Infiltrate
Archaeology: Sister Pronatus models revealing a mysterious objective may roll twice and pick one.

Equipment:

Sniper Rifle
Carapace Armour

May exchange Sniper Rifle for Seeker Rifle for +X or Condemner Arbalest for +Y

Seeker Rifle: 48" Str 4 AP 5 Heavy 2 Redirecting shots.
Redirecting Shots: Shots from a seeker rifle ignore cover and do not need line of sight to declare attacks.
>Old Archeotech bolt rifles thats bolts more resemble missiles than bullets.

Condemner Arbalest: 36" Str 6 AP 3 Heavy 1, Sniper, Psy-Shock
>Railgun Arbalest hurling the same stakes as a Condemner boltgun.

I was kicking around the idea of making an Angels of Death-esque book for Sisters so we could expand upon the current /tg/ update codex without going full hog and making the book way too complex for it's own good. These could be incorporated into that, along with more Ecclesiarchy rules (adding the Redeemer as a named character for example), rules for Ephrael Stern as an Elites or LoW choice, and adding rules for some of the more awesome /tg/ orders that have been established over the years:

Citation needed.
We talking about organization streched across whole galaxy, on every(or 99%) planet with human population not dedicated to Mechanicum there will be some Church presence, often if not always protected by Sisterhood. We talking about hundrets of milions Sororitas. So my bet is Orders can be as big as it is needed, or we are talking about milions of orders. There are hundrets of small one, made for specyfic task or happening like Order Hospitaler made for crusade but even Imperium isnt so dumb to artificaly separate them in to tiny cells.

You're assuming that GW writers have, or have ever had, any sense of scale whatsoever. Near enough ever time they decide to put numbers to something they end up being orders of magnitude outside of what actually makes sense.

>>51041697
The Convent buildings, as in in all the Imperium, or only at their headquarters at Terra and Orphelia? Also, do they house any Order Militant or only the major ones? Or is each Order has its own dedicated builduings to house 15,000 each?

There's 6 major Orders Militant, so if they're all between 3 and 4 thousand women strong, that's between 18,000 and 24,000 just for them, possibly more if they "reach a peak of six or seven thousands", and then there's a lot of minor Orders. The Lexicanum counts 14 of them, so even if there's, say, only 300 warriors in each, that give at least 4,200 more. 42,000 if they were at full strength. Which they probably aren't most of the time.

So far there's theorytically between 22,200 and 66,000 Battle Sisters. And then there's all those that aren't mentionned as well (who knows how many of these Orders there is exactly?).

So really, there can be a huge lot of them.

Yes. As illustrated in >>51041697, for GW one convent = one or multiple orders. Canonesses are supposed to lead an entire order and they are below prioresses in rank.

And in the 6th edition codex, preceptories were said to deviate from the main order in both tradition and livery. Strangely GW didn't follow orthodoxy for the sisters.

>>51038774
I think sabines would make for better units than pronatus, since they go with the missionaries, scout the stars and explore new worlds, and infiltrate non-imperial societies. You can put almost any kind of troop in them.
Also dual bolt pistols are supposed to be used by the elite gun-kata sisters. It's strange to see it on a basic profile.

Super freakin cool pic.

I hate to admit but Newcron(for me they are still souless sleves) treatment would be nice for SoB to get, since we all can agree having just bolter, flamer and melta gets old fast. I would like to see more fleshed out units for eg Celestine Squad isnt any diffrent from regular sister, but makin them have that trinity gun /tg/ made would give them punch and some other use. There could be CC/close firefights wariant like >>51042362 with shields granting re-rollls Sv to be little more tough.

>>51044313
I think they should still have the bolter/flamer/melta. They're quintessential Imperial weapons that all other Imperial factions sans the Mechanicus use. They just need a few more weapons unique to them, particularly since Eviscerators are no longer unique to the Sororitas.

The /tg/ 7th Edition Update Codex has been updated to version 0.98. Most of the book has been heavily reformatted to be more usable and efficient, with the datasheets following the format that GW used in Imperial Agents. The only major crunch changes are as follows:
>The Ecclesiarchy Battle Conclave has been split up, but unlike IA, I gave the component units special rules allowing them to function well on their own. The EBC has been made a formation.
>Added Canoness Veridyan
>The Murder Cult formation has been replaced with the Ecclesiarchy Battle Conclave, which functions similarly to it's IA counterpart, except that it also gives 2+ Look Out, Sir.
>The Faithful Throng formation now includes 0-3 Arco-flagellants, Crusaders, or DCAs. Additionally, Priests in the formation can also bring an EBC.
>Changed the Tactical Objectives to the ones from IA.

St. Celestine's being re-released in plastic in a few weeks. Outside of that, GW has confirmed that there will be no new Sisters rules for at least 4-5 months (which is when 8th edition's supposed to drop). That being said, Canoness Veridyan keeps selling out at a ridiculous rate, so I doubt GW's just going to keep ignoring Sisters.

In the meantime, if you're really desperate, there's always Grishnak, or those new RagingHeroes minis.

Bolters, flamers and meltaguns work well enough in the models.

>>51052520
I'm not keen on the conversions desu, more and more are looking great, but few match the real deal. Hell, I can wait a bit. Big issue with the sisters is the lack of some serious heavies.

Raging hereos fucks are so slow and the Russian guy after a year just responded me.

Just got my dream forge in a bad time, but it has been very fun to convert.

>>51052655

Yeah, while I'm not a fan of it as a model the SOB do kinda need something in the Dreadknight/Riptide/Ironclad Dreadnaught area. They don't have anything big and tough outside Exorcists and those are going to want to stay far away from the enemy anyway.

>>51052819
Exorcists are great! Until they are within the enemies range haha
Their infantry are good in terms of variety and tactics. Not amazingly full, but enough. Fast attack (Seraphim, but what else?) and the heavy stuff is where they strugggle.
Also, I've been thinking about repentia squads. They need to rejig them a little. It makes sense their save is insanely hard to get, but they're charged their, or even when they charge(!) their initiative is bloody awful. A bump up is needed I say! Make them more prickly, but just as flimsy to keep it fair.

>>51052859

Honestly, the Repentia would be great if

A) They had their old ability back (When they died, they got to make attacks after all other attacks in the combat THEN died)
B) The SOB had a way to get them to the enemy.

Fragile but dangerous is fine but right now they don't actually threaten the enemy as they are fragile and slow so melee people will murder them before they get to hit and range people will just gun them down. An open topped or assault transport would help them immensely.

As an act of faith, that old ability wasn't that useful.
Codex Witch Hunters had them with an move 2D6" towards the nearest enemy when they failed a morale test (with Ld6), and even then it wasn't breathtaking.
Repentias remplace the old redemptionist mob with its Eviscerator toting zealots, but contrary to the latter they lack canon fodder.

The original repentia was a great kiting unit, I wouldn't hurt the SoB to have a modern version of this one.

Oh god that was glorious. they walk up and just torch 2 mobs of boys into almost nothing. multi charge whats left and chaining in the biker squad into the combat.

Well, it could be based on something that I started off in the last thread, someone who just can't die.

Like, they've survived every battle they get thrown into, no matter how fierce, and the SoBs have taken it as a sign that even the Emperor isn't ready to forgive them yet. Which, of course, drives the penitent in question to ever-greater feats of suicidal bravery in an attempt to get killed at last.

Practically writes itself.

Nah, the Repentia are their own thing, as I keep having to tell people.

No idea who the Penitent should be, or what their crime is, maybe that could be a part of it?

Like, not even the Sororitas know who this pretty, raven-haired chick is (cause it's gotta be a chick), and only have various rumours instead.

Maybe she was a planetary governess, or an Inquisitrix, someone at the very height of the Imperial bureaucracy who fell all the way down to the bottom.

Maybe it was just a street rat who happened, through nothing more than being in the right place at the wrong time, to commit a crime so heinous that even the Emperor won't let her find forgiveness through death.

Stuff like that.

Sadly I can't be much help to you about rules, I could never get into that part of the game, but I guess you'd need to have something to reflect that this thing just won't die, and will throw itself into ever more desperate situations in an attempt to rectify that.

How about some Death Cult Assassin that failed a mission and was put into a penitent engine as punishment?
No amount of psycho-conditionnig was able to completely remove the pilot's assassin training, so it gets Uncanny Reflexes and Infiltrate. it's a really old pernitent engine
It would explain why it was able to survive so long, but in the end I simply like the idea of an engine popping out of concealment to wreak havoc with some unsuspecting unit.

>>51058949
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding here, but aren't Penitents supposed to be people who are themselves trying to atone for their crimes?

>>51058967
I thought it was a punishment - Repentias are the zealous ones, wanting to atone for their crimes. Might be wrong.

>>51058949
I haven't found anything that suggests they have to be from the Ecclesiarchy. Pretty much every fluff description of them says
>To be a pilot of a Penitent Engine is to have committed a terrible crime, one so heinous that punishment such as imprisonment, exile, arco-flagellation or execution is deemed too lenient.
So, yeah, I'd say a traitor marine would count.

No, being wired into one is a punishment inflicted upon someone whether they want it or not. That being said, I'm sure it's not unheard of for some Sororitas to volunteer for it (especially if they're from the Order of the Valorous Heart).

Right, cause, the word Penitent refers to someone, historically, who regrets their sins or wrongdoings and then seeks forgiveness from God.

And, applying it to this would add a very interesting extra angle, that these people are being wired into machines to seek redemption through death of their own free will, in the hopes of finding forgiveness.

>>51058967
Seems to me that they are brainwashed into trying to atone, like in soviet show trials

The fluff from the codex :
>To be a pilot of a Penitent Engine is to have committed a terrible crime, one so heinous that punishment such as imprisonment, exile, arco-flagellation or execution is deemed too lenient. Many of the unfortunates sentenced to pilot a Penitent Engine were once members of the Ecclesiarchy – priests fallen from grace or Battle Sisters who have, through failure of duty or faith, caused the deaths of their fellows. A multitude of wires and chemical injectors are implanted into the condemned pilots’ spines, and when they are not ripping through the ranks of their enemies, lances of pain and images of guilt shoot directly into their brains, reminding them of their sins. Driven by their pilots’ frantic need for forgiveness, Penitent Engines charge towards the closest foe in sight heedless of any danger, knowing that only in death – theirs or the enemy’s – can forgiveness finally be earned.
>Penitent Engines often charge into battle beside the ranks of the Orders Militant. The Sisters of Battle consider it their sacred duty to witness these great machines in the fires of combat, observing the actions of their fallen brothers and sisters as they atone for past sins and seek redemption.

>>51059371
Could well be both, as I see it.

Maybe even a bit of overlap, actually, where people believe their crimes are far worse than they actually are.

>>51059113

I'm all for the Imperial Church being grimdark enough to reverse corrupt CSM with mindrape, but there's a major difference between a SoB sleeping on duty and someone who has spent 10.000 years worshipping the Dark Gods. If that doesn't warrant imediate execution I don't know what does.

>>51059442
You're probably right. I think GW loves characters becoming hysterical with self-hatred over petty things.
While we're at it, chaos cultists and rogue psykers are also called penitents, once the Inquisition has interrogated them enough and turned them. You can see one here : >>51043737 >>51055002

>>51059679
>>To be a pilot of a Penitent Engine is to have committed a terrible crime, one so heinous that punishment such as imprisonment, exile, arco-flagellation or execution is deemed too lenient.
Being installed into a Penitent Engine is considered a fate worse than death, so it would seem a fitting punishment for such an individual.

Greyfax better be cheaper on eBay than a standalone HQ or I'll be pissed. The bulk of the price should definitely be taken up by Robot McHuge Ancient and the Thick Thigh Triplets so here's hoping.

Assuming she can be taken solo.

That said, it looks like the "Crusade formation with Sisters and Templars" is this:

>The warriors of the Wrathful Crusade fight with the absolute knowledge that they are fighting for the future of the Imperium. Theirs is a holy mission, a calling that drives them forward into the enemy with unbridled fury and zeal. With bolt and blade, fury and fire, the warriors of the crusade tear their enemies apart, fighting as one with cold-eyed determination until nothing remains of the enemy but corpses burning in the flames of faith.


>This bundle collects together the miniatures necessary to assemble the Wrathful Crusade, a formation from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia. You’ll receive the following:


>- a framed and signed commemorative art print by Paul Dainton limited to a mere 50 individually-numbered copies, as well as 3 artwork cards featuring the heroic Triumvirate of the Imperium from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia;
>- the Triumvirate of the Imperium – 5 miniatures, including Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, Celestine, the Living Saint and Inquisitor Greyfax;
>- 1 Space Marines Captain;
>- 2 10-man Sternguard Squads;
>- 4 10-man Space Marines Tactical Squads, with 4 Black Templars Chapter Upgrades;
>- 2 10-man Space Marines Assault Squads;
>- a 5-man Militarum Tempestus Command Squad;
>- 3 sets of 10 Militarum Tempestus Scions.

>>51059899
Who sculpted/modeled Celestine and her bodyguards? The more I see them, the more I'm impressed with their cquality for modern GW minis.

>- a 5-man Militarum Tempestus Command Squad;

"Oh god we have so many unsold scions, what can we do with them?"

>>51059823
Totally agree.

>>51060048
I forgot the name of the sculptor. It wasn't Jes Goodwin though.

As for the Scions I somehow doubt you need to run 30 for the formation.

>>51036577

>Pin up is a kind of lost art.

It kind of is, depending on your definition and source of origin. I'd say possibly Japan still does it to some extent, again depending on definition. Both Japan and the West have gotten pretty bad in certain regards were subtlety is an unknown concept and the sex appeal is shoved right in your face.

>>51038459

To be fair, FW didn't pull all of their Dreadnought concepts out of thin air. The FW designs hearken back to Dreadnoughts that were actually different from each other for reasons besides being extra armored and ornately decorated. A lot also comes from the fact that you have a chassis and change it up so that it's appearance better reflects what Legion or Chapter it belongs to or if it even belongs to the Custodes.

Shit probably sells as well, so that doesn't hurt as a reason to make more. I'll admit that the Custodes Dreadnought looks pretty cool.

>>51060048

I think Goodwin said yesterday in an interview that Brian Nelson at least sculpted Celestine.

>>51062313

Yes, on the plus side the box is kind of nice.

They all have separate sprues, so I could see them getting broken up individually eventually, assuming that fielding them as part of their formation isn't the only way to field them.

>>51062714
I dont want to play with them, I want to paint them and gaze upon.

>>51062753

Well that doesn't change the fact that GW may have boxed them the way they did because you have to field all three of them together or not at all.

>>51063489
Or they're just being shits, like how they still won't break up the Dark Vengeance box so people can get Chosen and special Cultists without fucking Dark Angels

>>51063518
I should have said "They will" not they're

anyway, unless the box is like a super good deal that's way down on the price, it's going to come off as a shitty thing to do for anons that just want Greyfax

>>51060048
>"Oh god we have so many unsold scions, what can we do with them?"

How about providing some updates or something so they're not just a cheese army?

>>51063518

I think they did sell the Cultists separately in boxes of five.

Again, unless you have to field them together, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a deal of sorts. Cawl is supposed to be the size of a Carnifex and that goes for $50. They could easily charge $15-20 for Greyfax. $30-50 for Celestine and the Geminae.

>>51063518
Not sure why anyone would want them. Everything in that box if fucking shite.

>>51064554
They could easily charge 25-35 for greyfax, honestly. I expect the ebay auctions will be around that level, too.

>>51064681
Not at first, no.

Probably $50-60 if not more at the outset because of scalpers.

I know they have to sell those boxes and all but after half year they could yesly start selling them as separete blisters/boxes ect and get whole lot of money again.

Nothing. I think GW may have wanted to make them a bit more distinct looking, but I have no idea. Personally, I like both the tacticool and breastplate designs.

I fear they might want to copyright tabletop gaming soon or air.

Looking through Imperial Agents, see the Inquisitor henchman warband detachment. I notice you can take grey knights with an ordo malleus, deathwatch with ordo xenos, etc...except you're REQUIRED to take at least 3 acolytes. Whatever, that's fine. What really broke me, is no option for dedicated transport. Sadness.

>>51070322
Buy Landraider, Rhino, Chimera or Valk with acolytes.

Wait first turn outside the transport then embark. Thanks to mentally retarded faction rules.

>>51071016

If they'd all been the same faction that book could have been half decent.

Faith Powers are psychic powers, Celestine was depowered by the activation of Cadian pylons and the Legion of the Damned was swept into the void..

She loses a bit of herself every time she incarnates too.

>>51071169
Or just use Inqusition codex. It has the non retarded acolyte squads.

AI made no sense. DCA, Crusader, Flagellants, Host, Monkys do not work own their own.

They need to be part of a squad like they have been since GK and WH. Maybe Acolytes could work on their own if they had BS4 or to option to have veterans with it.

Fuck AI was a retarded book. I'm glad GW cancelled my order because IA hard cover that they sold me was out of stock along with made to order shit.

Fucking retards also paying for tracking numbers? My shitty third world postal service had tracking numbers by default.

>>51071429
Then I can't take Deathwatch/Grey Knights as part of what is essentially a henchmen warband, which is what I wanted to do for fluffy reasons, except the formation, and that's what it is, that is a henchmen warband does not give the option for transports.

>>51062586
That seems a bit redundant with Celestine. Maybe give it It will not die instead.

>>51071429
>DCA, Crusader, Flagellants, Host, Monkys do not work own their own. They need to be part of a squad like they have been since GK and WH.
Death cult assassins and arco-flagellants were independant units in WH.

>>51071180

>Faith Powers are psychic powers,

Where is that stated?

>Celestine was depowered by the activation of Cadian pylons

That, however, I'm not surprised about. As she's passed beyond being a human into something more like a Daemon Prince.

>>51072197
What else could they be, if not a collective psychic manifestation?

>>51071672
The transport options come from each squad bundle together in the formation.

Acolytes can buy: Chimeras, Rhinos, Landraiders and Valkyries.
DCA, Crusaders, Flagellants: Can grab Rhinos and Immolators.
Marines can grab, Rhinos, Drop Pods, Black Star and Landraiders.
SoB can get: Rhinos and Immolators.

The problems are not the transport of finding something big enough to fit them. The problem is that each part of the formation are from different factions. Hence why they can't start the game inside a transport.

You can have GK/DW/SoB + Acolytes + Inquisition shit + SoB shit (DCA, Crusaders, Flagellants and Priest) + Psyker. All in one big unit. But thanks to the retards at GW no one bother to mention they can start inside a transport in that particular formation.


So my classic Deepstriking from a Valk Acolytes with multiple plasmguns + Psyker for Prescience does not work anymore. Even if the transport bought is a dedicated transport and magically turns into the faction bought for. The psyker still can't ride the damn thing due to faction and transport rules.

>>51018059
That is my favourite SoB pic, including official art.

>>51070322
If you want an Inquisitor to be with one of their militant arms, on page 120 there's the Inquisitorial Representative detachment. Just take that an ally it with the militant detachment of your choosing.

Unfortunately, yeah, for some reason an Inquisitor can't take a dedicated transport. But acolytes are also dirt cheap. I was actually thinking about just getting three of them and giving them all plasma guns, then sticking them with my Inquisitor who will have Prescience and a plasma pistol.

>>51074561
>>51070322

I meant to specify, the Inquisitorial Representative detachment only has an HQ as compulsory, and 1-3 Elites as optional. So it lets you take a solo Inquisitor.

>>51071169
If anyone calls you a That Guy for doing something that minor, ignore them. It's not like your army consists of Imperial Knights allied with Tyranids.

For real, what is their idea on lewd imagery?

I am asking this because even though sexy stuff can make way to chaotic corruption through Slaanesh, the Holy Human Form is worshiped by the people of the Imperium, which is why the I think the Sororita wear armor that emphasizes their figure, and the Emperor protects, lewd and violent acts. if done under His protection, should be sanctified.

I'm no expert.
Is there anything canon on this subject?

>>51076549
>which is why the I think the Sororita wear armor that emphasizes their figure
It could also be be the Ecclesiarchy way to say "See? They're WOMEN under arms, not men! We totally respect the Decree Passive, guys!"

>>51076732
I usually lean on this being the explanation.

>>51076549
Even with the risk of slaaneshi corruption, some ecclesiarchy prelates have concubines, and imperial nobility is known for it's roman decadence vibes, and IG brothels are a thing. So they're probably exposed to some lewdness unless stationned on a very remote convent.
Sisters' life in peacetime is working, praying, training. Even if we get rid of christian prudishness, they would see anything that isn't part of their spartan lifestyle as an annoying distraction at best, and as a disgusting habit bordering on heresy at worst.
So depending on the sister it could range from "eurgh, guardsmen... *roll eyes*" to "Is that St. Pradexes with Lord Macharius!? Burn, Iconoclast!"

On a sidenote, it's a big galaxy, and it's perfectly possible for some orders to follow a tantric lifestyle including sex rituals (that is very strict, even in its sexual aspects, despite what popular representation would make you believe). After all, you can have imperial death cults and faithful blood angels.

Seriously, what is the position of the Sororita, and also the rest of the Imperium, about lewd imagery?

Even though it could be a source of chaotic corruption, Slaanesh corruption seems to be the one that the Sororita may fall for, one could argue that the Imperium worships the Holy Human Form, which is probably why the Sororita Armor emphasizes their physique, and also the Emperor Protects, acts of unimaginable violence, and I presume, lewdness too, can be done if under His protection without fear of corruption.

I am no expert, I really want to know if there is any canon explanation on lewdness.

>>51068838

Their old look is somewhat drab for an organization that is supposed to belong to the Imperium as a whole and not a specific world or regiment. Their current armor makes them look more ornate like the rest of the hotshots of the Imperium.

Never officially touched upon. Unofficially, I'd imagine that it's alright so long as it doesn't affect your ability to do your duties, which is how most militaries in the world have historically treated it. The DH books mention that several worlds maintain Roman-style gladiator arenas for entertainment, even though that would technically be something that could lead to Khornate corruption. I think that intent is a big part of this. When you view pr0n, hire a prostitute, or visit your local colosseum, you're doing it for entertainment, not for it's own sake, which seems to be what Chaos is mostly about.
