Sisters are the most Warhammer 40k army in warhammer 40k. Space marines while the most popular army are just generic super soldiers you could find any setting. Pretty much every other faction is just a trope taken from existing fantasy. The Sisters are much more unique, they are easily the most unique concept GW ever came up with. The models also look really good and have interesting lore. Or you could play Ultramarines whos lore is: We are the goodest boys ever.

@CordovanSplotchVT Ай бұрын

Sororitas and Mechanicus are definitely the two coolest and most unique human factions, and they're both extremely 40k, which is why I'm collecting sisters, and of course always the contrarian I decided to go with just about the least known minor order there is just because they featured in a really fun 4chan /tg/ collaborative writing thread I read when I was much younger. I might end up regretting that once I start sculpting all their green stuff fur scarves.

@Zeldaytal 7 ай бұрын

I would suggest for new players to wait to buy named character for when they have already painted 2-3 boxes so they are used to our color schemes and how our glazes and so intersct with each other. Having a textured Celestine can be disheartening when you willsurpass that level of painting in two weeks of practice on regular sisters. Edit: Its still a good idea in order to know in which direction to build a list, just paint it later.

For those who are interested in the Combat Patrol: -The Battle Sisters have one Flamer, one Artificer Stormbolter, and no Cherub. The Superior has a Boltgun and Chainsword, though these can be swapped out if you have parts from another box. You may want to add a proper Battle Sisters box or Retributors to use for the Cherub, special/heavy weapons and Sister Superior options. -The Canoness has a Plasma Pistol (stuck on her cape), Powersword (which I guess you could also call a Blessed Blade) and Rod of Office; you can stick a younger head on her and say she's a Palatine, or you can remove her cape and equip her with whatever you like from other boxes. -The Seraphim are all dual Bolt Pistol with their left arm stuck that way, the Superior with Plasma Pistol and Powersword. If you buy a Seraphim box you can build 3 as Zephyrim, 2 as Seraphim with dual Hand Flamers (or Inferno Pistols), swap those for two from the Combat Patrol, then give the CP models a Powersword and Zephyrim jetpack/helmet. If you bought a Seraphim box and also picked up a Novitiates box to make all those special characters as shown in the video, another use for those spare Novitiate bodies is to put jetpacks on them and give them Hand Flamers/Inferno Pistols (whichever you didn't already use). There are a few with a dynamic stepping/leaping sort of pose that can work for it. Alternatively, if you bought a Battle Sisters box just to build extra heavy/special weapon options for your other squads, you could use any spare Battle Sister bodies together with Novitiate arm parts to create the Dialogus, Hospitaller etc, and then just use the Novitiates as Novitiates.

@ChristianVonCarmian40kVtuber 7 ай бұрын

If you have the seraphim box and novitiates, instead of making novitiates you can make them zephyrim. The seraphim box comes with 6 flying stands and 10 jump packs for 5 models, so that is doable.

@elkglenn1013 4 ай бұрын

..Novitiates not Repentia, but yeah! The key issue is NEVER glue the stands to your models, EVER. Poster putty, magnets, bailing wire, chewing gum,... never glue them to the stands. And clear aquarium tubing makes better stands to begin with - just saying.

In 9th I got a Palatine cause it was one of my favorite models, but it was TERRIBLE.. but now in 10th she is AMAZING and the lesson I take is, buy what you like and feels right!

If you build a regular box of zephyrim along side the combat patrol, you can do it without any cutting and it comes out nicer. The 4 sisters are actually 2 mirrored sisters so if you build one set of them as zephyrim by just giving them powerswords and a bit of fanagling on the jump packs you end up with 2 more diverse squads with minimal conversion.

@markhohenbrink5230 7 ай бұрын

1 thing not talked about with Celestine is that her and the gemini shoulders are not sculpted into the torso. So, you could technically have unlimited push molds for conversions.

Sisters are what have finally convinced me to get into 40k. Nothing about the setting has grabbed me the way these psychotic, murderous, zealous, beautifully stupid fanatics have. They’re absolutely everything wrong with the Imperium, and I love how they just lean into the crazy as hard as they can. This video was super helpful, I picked up and Imagifier for cheap a few weeks ago and was wondering what to do to really get started. Thanks to this, I think I’m gonna pick up a Celestine because she really is just really awe inspiring (and maybe I’ll pick up a cheeky little Greyfax, too :3 ).

I love the aesthetic and models of the Sororitas but man it feels so bad when you're taking them off the table by the handful. The Miracle Dice mechanic is cool but too swingy without some very specific model support; Retributors with attached Dialoguses within aura distance of the Triumph of St. Katherine. Sororitas are an awesome army with rich history and lore, but the learning curve is steep and it's very easy to loose faith in the army if you jump right into 2000pt games and get steamrolled. My advice would be to start small, 500-1000pt games so you can learn the army mechanic without having to deal with the cheese that other armies are capable of at the 2000pt level.

@Krachbumm-Ente 7 ай бұрын

Sororitas are a decent army and we have a ~50% winrate right now which is perfektly fine. They are, however, harder to play due to the fact that they are a low toughness army that requires some finesse if you want to win

I have a box of battle sisters and a combat patrol box, I am trying to figure out how to turn one into a dominion squad and the other into a battle sister squad. I know you explained it in the video, but it was confusing to me. Should I build my battle sisters box as battle sisters? Then use the extra flamers on the monopose combat patrol for the dominion squad? Please help a noob 😅

@ChristianVonCarmian40kVtuber Ай бұрын

between the monopose combat patrol and the sisters box you will have 5 flamers, 5 storm bolters and 4 meltaguns. I would make the combat patrol box the sisters and the seperate box into dominions - that is the easiest way

Due to my near crippling 'cheapness' I've chosen the path of Insanity. Magnetization! Except for my SoB Army box, yes, you know it, the more expensive version of the Combat Patrol (minus Rhino). The very first thing I did in the 40K world was magnetize Seraphim/Zephyrm...why choose? Paint EVERYTHING on the sprue (heh heh heh). Then Retributors...@#$$#@%^%^%&* magnetizing those...Paragons? Not so bad but, you see the pattern. Soon to be working on BSS Dominions, not looking forward to that but my cheapness compels me. Curse you personal mental problem!

I hands down cannot say strongly enough how AWFUL the Sisters Combat Patrol box actually IS for a new player in 10th edition. I cannot believe he actually even talked about this thing with anything other than utter contempt. Its purposely designed to be useless to expand upon. You cant even buy 2 of them to complete the unit sizes because they are unique monopose models that leave you short/stuck to complete full units required for 10th Edition. (lookin at you Sisters Repentia) Or they give you one model... of a unit of 2 ... and then sell boxes of ... TWO models. So no matter what you do.. that model will always be useless. (Lookin right at YOU single penitent engine.) Or give you 3 models of a 10 man unit, and sell boxes of 10 models.. this is just embarassing. (Lookin at you Arco Flagellents) This whole box is just cancer. The only things viable in it are the sisters squad, the cannoness (and there's WAY better versions of her out there.) and the Seraphim.. (cause they come in boxes of 5 for 60 dollars, which is a fucking joke of the highest possible order, but at least viable.) ... and then they add.. a Rhino. Cause lemme tell ya.. Rhinos are absolutely KEY for a good Sisters army... Oh wait.. no they arent. They're fucking garbage.
