Adepta Sororitas, Sisters of Battle Rumours

[DeSteele]

Hard to be a big seller when the part that is supposed to be cheapest (Troops) is more expensive than other army's vehicles.

So Charistoph, are you suggesting that people are influenced by price?

Just picking some prices off the GW UK website for Imperial units of 10 figures we get

Imperial Guard – Plastic - £18
Imperial Guard – Metal - £20.50 (4 separate units)
Space Marine Tactical Squad – Plastic - £25
Grey Knight Strike Squad – Plastic - £37.50

Battle Sister Squad – Metal - £49.70

And the SM & GK are more points per figure as well. 20 Space Marines worth more than twice the points of 10 sisters costing the same in cash.

Yep, can’t see why that would guide people to certain armies.

Never mind, missed the sarcasm.

To add to the problem if you want to take advantage of the full sized Sisters squads you have to drop close to $200 right now (give or take if you take a Simulacrum or not). Not even Fantasy has pricing that bad for core units (yes I see you Blood Knights, but you aren't core).

Not quite that bad, but around $160. And that'll give you one extra Battle Sister, or two if you do the Simulacrum. And add $12.

Yes it will be interesting to see if that changes when they are plastic. Hard to justify a squad of sisters over some of the other items you can pick up for that amount of money.

Still FAR too expensive.

Oh, I am not disagreeing with you, sir. We're doing a custom planet strike campaign here, and I'm maining Sisters of Battle. It hurts our walletses it does.

Might also prove interesting alternatives for Slaaneshi Marines?

I'm already planning a female squad of Grey Hunters, myself.
