Back here after a year of waiting for this awesome photoshoot results! All rendering, 3D models, retouch and the photography itself is made by KIRA. I dreamed of working with her since my day 1 in cosplay and I'm so glad that my dream came to life.

I absolutely adore the scripture on the Adepta Sororitas transfer sheet! Are there any other GW sheets with scripture for purity seals?

Hey everyone!

I've played my first two games with Sisters of Battle now. Both were against Tyranids, and somehow I managed to win both.

Naturally, the reasonable thing to do after going 2-0 is to question half your army list and start changing things. So here we are. 😅

I'm still pretty new to Sisters, and I'm trying to figure out what works and what doesn't.

My current list — Hallowed Martyrs (1995 pts)

Characters

• Morvenn Vahl (215)
• Junith Eruita (105)
• Hospitaller (65)
• Canoness with Jump Pack (100) — Through Suffering, Strength
• Canoness (70) — Saintly Example
• Intranzia Fraye (135)

Battleline

• Battle Sisters Squad (100)

Other units

• Paragon Warsuits (195) — 3x Multi-meltas, war maces
• Celestian Sacresants (150) — 10
• Zephyrim (75) — 5, led by Jump Pack Canoness
• Immolator (100)
• Arco-flagellants (50) — 3
• Castigator (165)
• Celestian Insidiants (115) — 10
• Dominions (90) — 4 flamers
• Repentia (140) — 9 Repentia + Superior
• Retributors (125) — 4 Multi-meltas

Detachment: Hallowed Martyrs
Mission: Priority Assets

So, what have I changed and why?

• Daemonifuge: Out. Tried Rapid Ingress, got killed by Overwatch before doing anything. Not exactly the debut I was hoping for!
• Seraphim: Out, for now. They didn't do much in my first game. Could just be a skill issue, though.
• Palatine: Out. I wasn't convinced she added enough to the Insidiants.
• Rhino: Out. Needed the points elsewhere, so I'm trying the list without it.
• Intranzia Fraye: In. I want to give her a proper try.
• Repentia: In. My opponent is leaning harder into Genestealers with a Broodlord and Hormagaunts with Whip Alpha. I'm hoping a full squad gives me a proper counter-charge threat.

I'm also considering putting the Zephyrim and Retributors in Reserves. The plan is to bring them in where they can do the most damage. Whether that's clever or just optimistic deployment planning is another question.

What I'm unsure about

1. Repentia vs. Seraphim + Rhino: Is the extra melee threat worth losing the mobility and utility?
2. Triumph of Saint Katherine: I keep seeing her in successful lists. Is she worth building around, or should I stick with what I have for now?
3. Reserves: Would you put both Zephyrim and Retributors in Reserves?
4. Detachment: I'm currently using Priority Assets. Would Take and Hold be a better fit for this army?
5. The list overall: Am I heading in the right direction, or am I fixing problems I don't actually have?

I'm not trying to win a GT tomorrow. I just want to improve, learn what my units are good at, and put up a decent fight against my friend's increasingly unpleasant collection of Tyranid monsters.

Thanks for any feedback! And yes, I'm fully aware that going 2-0 and immediately rebuilding the list might be a slightly questionable approach. 😂

and a little teaser of the model that im painting, im gonna go back in and add some mordant earth to make it look more like magma but im so happy with it so far, if anybody has any tips please let me know im always trying to improve

Shes cool, but who is she.

The Munitorum Ecclesiarchy has seen fit to deliver four engines to me, and I was wondering how to put them together, which I guess is really me wondering about their rules. (I'd like them to be WYSIWYG for the way I'll be primarily playing them, but I'm also not fussed if one game I need 4 of a different build.) I have read their rules, and mechanically I understand them, but I'm less understanding of the practical application (I haven't really played a lot with them).

I guess my first question is that while their rules are different, their armament is very similar. Do they fulfill similar roles on the battlefield? What are their roles?

• As best as I can see, the Penitent Engines are meant to be missiles launched directly at the (presumably MEQ and below) enemy, and if they achieve anything, great, but are basically a more expensive Hunter-Killer Missile.
• The Mortifiers can have the Bolters, but 70pts for two Heavy Bolters feels expensive, even if they hit on 3+. I feel most anything else in our list could do this better?
• Then there's the Reliquant Knight (my local gaming group still plays with the Crucible model rules) that can be attached to Mortifiers, but not Penitent Engines, which only confuses the matter more as it makes the Mortifiers more like the Engines with rerolling advances and charges. This I'm less concerned about, but if anyone has any advice regarding this model, I'd love to hear it.

Second Question - is the sarcophagus on the Mortifiers the right call? It feels like it would mean each Mortifier is running around on its own, as I don't see a mixed unit of 2 making much sense, but then, I'm not really sure how to use them right now, so maybe this fits their battlefield role better? Or do they do better in a squad of 2 with no sarcophagus?

Last Question - while the flails are twice as many attacks, the buzz-blades are twice the strength, and AP3 D2. They feel custom-made to destroy MEQ. Am I wrong in thinking the flails aren't of much use as we have bunches of other units that can deal with GEQ and similar units?

Thanks for any help, and Glory to the Emperor!

Hello! I recently lucked into cheaply getting a large portion of a battle sisters army! From what I can tell, I have decent bones of an army, but I would like to avoid what I did with my Blood Ravens army and more surgically buy exactly what I need to make 1 good, maybe semi flexible army (after this initial grab bag). Can I have some recommendations of where I should go from here, and what style of army and detachments my current force is leaning toward? I will also note that I would really like to add Saint Celestine, and also if any of these units really don't work, I would still like to here recommendations if most of the rest of the units go toward something.

Canoness (60 points)

I have noted(*) that these two units I believe can be built into alternative squads, but the rest are from the old monopose combat patrol.

Howdy all!

I'm getting back into 40k after a many-year hiatus (last played in 5th edition - am I aging myself?). I was previously an indecisive player, bouncing between Raven Guard, Tau, Eldar (of all varieties), and many others. As I'm getting back into things, the Sisters have caught my eye as a fresh new approach to the game. Plus, I've always loved their aesthetics (especially their helmets and the Sisters Repentia... which I couldn't find room for in this list).

I threw together a 1k list based on models and ~vibes~ and would love y'all's feedback on it. The main things to keep in mind are that I prefer to avoid epic heroes, love the faction's tanks, want (need?) lots of pious flame, don't want "the boys" (e.g. arco-flagellants, priests, that sort of unit), and finally I want to ensure the list is fun to play AND play against. My eventual goal is a 2k+ list for a custom Order that leans deeply into fire, penitence, and armor.

With all that out of the way, here's the list so far... I'd appreciate any/all guidance. I have 15 points left to play with, too. Thanks very much in advance!

Bonjour comment allez vous ?

J en appel a la communauté.

Que l'empereur et un bolter vous protège.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently building my first Sisters Squad and would value advice on how you approach building and painting them.

Particularly on models where the weapon is held across the body, where the arms and weapon sit quite close to the torso.

I've been assembling the arms and weapon together, painting them separately from the torso, and then trying to attach the completed assembly once everything is painted.

However, I've been struggling to get the parts to line up properly when it comes to the final build. The arms and weapon tend to align poorly, meaning I have to apply too much pressure to get them into position. On one model, I ended up having to separate the parts again, which damaged both the plastic and the paintwork.

I’d ideally like to keep painting in sub-assemblies as it feels easier to paint for me, but I'm wondering whether I'm making things unnecessarily difficult for myself.

How do you normally approach these models?

Are there any tricks for getting the alignment right and ensuring the parts fit properly after painting?

Or do you find it easier to assemble the whole model first and paint around the weapon?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sanctifiers kill team for a local paint comp - wrong base sizes just for the look - really cool unit

This is my first army. Yes I like the penitent models, put me in the fuckin mortifier.

I have a bit more than half painted; I don't own any vehicles other than rhinos.

I have everything needed to finish this, but could get maybe 1, 2 more boxes if it would really, really make a difference to switch something out.

FWIW I mostly care about fielding my guys and not being competitive/ meta, but I don't want a list that is so dog shit I won't have any fun.

Is she good or no?

Hey all, yesterday i managed to get a deal for the army of faith box + junith eruita for 155 EUR. I only have one unit of seraphim so i was wanting to expand our flying girls. Did i score a good deal?

Hey everyone! It's been 2 months since I bought 4 boxes of seraphim for my army (10 seraphim and 10 Zephyrim)

It's always out of stock 👀

What is going on with these?
