jacqualine47 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi all, So I'm waffling on whether I like the Raging Heroes not-sororitas models. Here is a link to the current kickstarter (its not the IG stuff - these are obviously supposed to be Sisters) in case you haven't heard about it: LINKY I'm looking at them and I'm thinking that I'd want to change the shoulder pads a bit and use different backpacks, but overall they seem pretty good. But at the same time, I find myself wondering if they really hit the Sisters aesthetic or if I'd be better off trying to convert something from Dark Eldar or just sticking with pewter until hades freezes over and GW delivers plastic sisters. What are your opinions on them? Most of them seem a bit better posed than the last RH kickstarter, but I'm still on the fence as I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyu Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have been watching them as well and find that some of them, mostly the standard troopers and their "seraphim" troops are posed much better than their last kickstarter. That said, I do like the minis, yet their weapons and backpacks as you say and helmets as well, do not fit the aesthetics of the sisters.But I might just get a few of them when they are open for purchase, which seems to be in march 2016. Who knows, we might actually have plastic sisters there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I hate them. Always have since the first sketches came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 As with the previous RH Kickstarter I like the look of the models (incidentally I have a big load of models ordered from the previous one), but they're not really Sororitas in "feel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTalos Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm a big fan of the models. Pledged at Commander level but i'm not sure that'll cover what i want.Nice additions / different models to serve as Dominions / Celestians, i really like the "papesse" for a Cardinal count-as =)My only beef with them: Bring back the French-Bob cut of hair ! lol (They've said "alternate heads" in Today's update, but i'm not holding my breath....)

Commander Dawnstar Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I would never use them, as I only play at my local GW, but I can see myself potentially getting some Knights of the Chalice for counts-as Assault Terminators. I'm also rather fond of the demon hunter character even though her aesthetic has nothing in common with the Sororitas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I do not like them. The aesthetic is off and the posing is wonky. I do not think Sisters of Battle when I see these. I think Suicide Girls and Sucker Punch and other pop culture rehashing of pin-up girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Some of the models I really like. They would make a cool looking Malifaux gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blagon Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Some of these poses are way too dramatic. I do see some models that would be good proxies for seraphim and repentia so I did back it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 some of the poses might be a bit much, but then, that might just be neat as well.. ok, some are really overstretched in their poses. I'm also liking that they don't seem to be wearing high heels, because that's the thing I found most silly of all in previous incarnations. So the models might be interesting. Would I use them? No, they aren't sister material in my eyes, and unfortunately I've never been interested much in spending money on stuff I'll never use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I do agree on the poses, like with the previous KS they go a balls to the walls with some of them. More modest poses would work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I like some of the posing etc but they are not sisters in my eyes. Truth be told after the Cloaked Mecanicus I am holding out on sisters more than ever. If not... Well I'm sure I can convert something special up. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told after the Cloaked Mecanicus I am holding out on sisters more than ever. If not... Well I'm sure I can convert something special up. Even having browsed the GW site just recently for Sisters stuff, I had managed to miss the Mechanicus stuff. First I heard of it was in the title of a Wayland Games newsletter yesterday or so, even though the mail itself didn't seem to mention anything further. Guess I gotta take a closer look! However it's certainly clear that technical issues are no longer a viable excuse, so they better come out with the Sisters stuff sooner rather than later.

march10k Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Meh...not very sisters-like...great models, but they seem more like human-eldar hybrids than nuns with guns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I think he meant that one of the great problems with sisters was supposedly that it would be hard to model robes that flow nicely on multipart models. Since they seem to have solved that (see: Mechanicum), sisters might be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I actually like the icon-type stuff on the backpacks but overall the models are way too hyper-sexualized for my tastes. I really hope this isn't a direction GW takes Adepta Sororitas when/if they update the model line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I disagree that the sisters models in the KS are hyper sexualized. They certainly aren't done in the same style as GW sisters, but for the most part GW sisters are static and look more like statues than people. Especially the current seraphim...personal hate on those minis. I'd describe the style of the Raging Heroes sisters as ultra-romanticized and dramatic, like some of the comics and fantasy art out of the 80s. I love that style so I'm backing the new KS. I'm looking forward to my confident, dynamic new girls :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already pumped $300 but i can see that quite possibly going up when the manager comes out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
