I like Sisters with shields. I HATE assembling them. And while I was struggling with my squad of 10, I realized I hate their shields. If anything, their guns should be bullpup SMG-type designs. Because you want your hand to grip onto a bar at the right side of the kite shield that is strapped on your left arm. Braced against your whole forearm means when you need to deflect something with the shield, the impact is spread out over a large area. It isn't just because I struggled to attach the wrists to the models that I realized, as designed, Sisters could fire ONCE before their wrist snaps like a twig trying to use the shield...

There would have been a lot less backlash if this was the battle box mini.

Is that cherub thing playing a futuristic lute? Lol

I'd be tempted to lose the flower thing behind her head....would give a cleaner silhouette. Needs more or less filigree on the grieves...they're a bit no man's land at the moment. I'd lose the gas jet on the sword... it's a magic fiery demon killing sword...doesn't need the distraction. But the bones of this model are excellent 👍

Wait a second - is that horn (or whatever it is) molded onto that amazing shield? Awe man, I hope not.

I really like the model, but i just don't think i would ever get it. Even being a pretty big fan of Sisters i can't bring myself to buy a display model just to have it.

Way better than the boring canoness

If we start getting models of Book main characters: Ciaphus Cain and Jurgen when? I'd spring for the Chimera

Why do they insist on sculpting fire or special effects? They always look terrible

Btw imagine we have the sisters of battle, but we just make them dudes instead, fuck yeah how cool would that be

ahh damn Bricky is having a seizure right now

She isn't getting rules, she's just a limited promotional for a novel. GW pushing plastic but not manning up to inventory or production for the product for the next decade or so. I see through it.

Oh, another High Lord of Terra?

I hate the cherubs. Why would I buy something that will break immediately?

Love love love this

The greatest miniature GW ever produced since the Stilt-man!

I'm a sucker for a nice display model. I may just have to get her when she comes out. Also, the parchment on the right cherub, I swear, is from a rumour engine.

New SoB model that isn't a mister of battle? Why does GW's inclusion only go one way?

Every time GW release a non-primaris model I get such whiplash I feel like I was just woken up with a taser. First because Holy Shit GW remembering things exist that aren't in blue power armour, but also because every non-primaris model they bring out looks FANTASTIC. This thing is just bursting with personality, though as usual GW can't do faces for anything so I'd 100% use the helmeted version

that model looks amazing

I mean, I just NEED this model. 'Nuff said

Put her on a normal base, create a little “fluff” for it to put that foot on and she’s good to hook

You did not review the helmless Lord-Vigilant! 10/10

The cherub carrying replacement fuel canisters is doing the emperor's work

Isnt it just a hand flamer with the promethium tank under

Shame it's looking to be a legends only model.

Strange it wasn't shown off earlier but it's a great model. Will have to get it now I'm changing armies to sob and getting some for free.

"That bit" is called a pommel

Love this model for the shield alone. Also biased since I'm already painting my sisters as Sacred Rose.

Bloodletter I think rather than bloodthirster head. That rose I’m not a fan of, thinking about removing it.

This Model would make a better Jump Pack Canoness then the actual one we are getting. Just slap a leftover Zephyrim jumppack on her, and move the Sacred Rose iconography over to the jumppack. You could swap her shield arm since Canoness arent allowed flamers but you could say its a melta pistol.

Can’t wait to paint one up and do some OSL from the sword. The busy design of it actually lends itself well to it.

She could be looking at it with a 'oh shit a melta gun hit my sword' look. Great model though.

Gotta know that some people are gonna do some amazing object source lighting on that sword. Can’t wait to see it!

Sororitas player so im instabuying both the model and book.

I hate the whole, shield attached to gun thing. Ruins the model for me. I’d only buy it to convert.

👎

That flame effect is disgusting and just drags down the entire model, I would also remove "halo," and the chyerbs. 3/10 for me.

Baffles me how they choose to show the other models instead of this one...

Sweet jesus that's probably my favourite BL tie-in character model they've ever done

I would love someone to convert this model into a jump pack canoness

I’m really sad she doesn’t have rules for 40K and won’t for some time, I absolutely love the model

I bet the reason they didn’t show it was a try to “theme” the last preview. It was for a box that was “themed” as sister jump assault. This character, is not “themed” as a “jump assault” model. Maybe that’s why? I gave up trying to understand GW marketing years ago.

This is an awesome model. New Ciaphas Cain when tho ?

Well this is something I need now. I wonder if I can grimdark her up to use in trench crusade. The shield is by far my favorite part.

It's an amazing model. It is a shame that at best, it is going to get legends rules. It is too big to proxy as anything else

Another Black Library character that isn't Caphias Cain and Jurgen

The sword effects and daemon head look dumb. Other than that it looks great.

Half tempted to make her into an Inquisitor.

I adore this model so much, and I'm so upset she doesn't have official rules. Like GW give her rules and add her to the codex even as a pdf datasheet like you do with Killteam. I guarantee you will make more money.
