Always nice when Death himself pops in to say hi. Not sure if it's ominous for the Sisters of Battle or not...

It's been awhile. I really like these minis so I'm sharing.

I'm also converting warlord games landsknecht into imperial guard

Ha!  They look decent, and at L20 or $26, that's not bad for a squad of them plus the extras.

Well those would certainly be rough riders alright.

Yup. There is a light vehicle planned as part of the next stretch goal, with an additional of free pouches, great ades, etc being added to the troops squads

The nun mobile with wargear for the regular troops is the next stretch goal

Me too. It will be unlocked as a pledge option soon, which makes me think it will be $15-20 gbp

Confirmed at 20 GBP or 54 for 3. Next stretch goals are up

The Donkey cavalry look fun, BUT are Rough Riders a unit in IG/Astra whatever these days?

It seems to me that this is an IG army substitute rather than a option for Sisters of Battle.
Title: Re: Nuns with laserguns - it alternative

Yep, definitely IG flavored.

I've been waffling on buying into this.  I like some of these items, although not sure it is really a theme I'd ever get around to putting as a priority on my project list.  The pipe organ artillery is a nifty idea!

Rough Riders aren't in the main codex, but they still are in the index and you can use that for now.  As far as we know you can keep using stuff from the index until it gets totally cut at some point in the future. I've been using a small group of Ungol Horsearchers as a sacrificial rough rider unit in a few games.

If you like it, go fir it. That's my philosophy.

Last 15 hours, rapidly approaching the nun command squad.

Special weapons nuns, heavy weapon teams, a heavy mortar, and Nuns with close combat weapons and pistols have all been unlocked so far since the last stretch goal for the pipe organ

The psychic nun summoning a "ghost" is classic. :icon_lol: :::cheers:::

Actually I was quite disappointed with that. For a sort of Psyker / Priestess model the ghost is just too cartoony.  :engel:

The "shotnuns" are however awesome, and the Heavy Mortar is great too.

Post by: Gankom on November 07, 2018, 07:34:28 PM
The shotnuns are probably the models I like the most. I could see using those models in a host of other games, or even as game pieces in some board games like Betrayel at House On The Hill.

I agree, not quite what I'd expect on a 40K table for nuns, yet they are being a bit humorous to a degree, and of course I wasn't too thrilled with the donkeys.

I liked a lot of the nun infantry, including the drawings for the nunshots.  The Heavy Mortar is quite the piece of artillery.
