Great job as always Mortis.
Female warriors in SC sounds great.
But the figures SoB are to exspensive.

Yea like all GW products, the Sisters of Battle are stupidly expensive, terrible value for money and I wouldn't recommend buying them - these rules were more aimed at people who already had Sisters miniatures they'd like to use in Space Crusade and I certainly don't expect people to go out and buy Sisters just to use with these rules (especially not brand new direct from GW!)

Scroll down the page, and you will find several pages regarding these figures.
Great stuff.

Those are nice conversions and scratch building a few Sisters like that are certainly an option if you have the parts already - I wouldn't like to think how much you might have to spend getting hold of all the different parts needed.

There are a few companies out there making their power-armoured women miniatures, but not enough (or in enough variety) to make squads from - which is sad really, but maybe Mantic or some one will come up trumps some time soon. Still in the meantime it might be possible to convert some existing power-armoured females into a full squad with a little work and some spare weapons. And on that note, I think it's about time we did a thread in Miniatures Discussions about power-armoured females.
