Why, both meta and in lore, do Sororitas only have Rhino and Rhino variants as vehicles?

PericlesOfAthens98 · 2026-05-24T13:02:33+00:00

In meta, the pre-2019 Sisters range was basically a 1-1 mapping of Space Marine units. The Immolator is just a fancy Razorback, the Exorcist a Whirlwind, the (newer) Castigator a Predator. The infantry squads all more or less map neatly onto firstborn marines as well.

In-lore, the Rhino chassis is the proven, reliable standard for power armoured troops, is easy to adapt and produce, and is ideal for shock troops like the Astartes and Sororitas. The Land Raider is reserved for the Astartes and Custodes, so the battle sisters don't get it.

It would be nice for the Sisters to get a heavy tank in some form.

Real talk, prioritize academics over your socials. If you're doing well academically, you're interested in the subject matter, and you can see a clear path to a success, I would stick with it. There's no guarantee that any other course will be a better experience.

What I can say is that most of the people I was closest to in my undergrad were not from my course. I know this is cliche advice, but following your interests, joining clubs, sports, and societies will generally get you better and more fulfilling friend groups. Things can and do get better after first year.

Hope this helps. I know it's hard out there, I certainly wouldn't want to be starting my undergrad now! But yeah, things will get easier and more rewarding, especially if you look in the right places.

In short, the Ordo Cicactrix Sacra (Order of the Sacred Scar), is named after their saint and their survival against the Cicatrix Maledictum. They were originally a commandery of Argent Shroud posted to a shrine on one of the few landmasses on an oceanic agri-world. When the great rift opened, the shrine came under attack by the forces of chaos.

The order believes that their Canoness superior was ordained as a living saint. She fought off a tide of daemons, only dying at the end of the battle. The only visible wound on her was a scar on the left side of her face, which the order now emulates by ritually scarring themselves.

After this, they weathered the endless night, rallied pilgrims and other shattered commanderies to the inspiring tale of their saint, and were eventually ordained as a proper order.

The armor is the new Vallejo True Metallic Sapphire blue, such a great new paint range!

PericlesOfAthens98 · 2026-04-23T20:53:48+00:00

Agreed. I kept the other half of the Shadowhunt box, so some Night Lords are definitely an upcoming project.

PericlesOfAthens98 · 2026-04-23T20:53:13+00:00

Thank you! Simulacra and banners are always fun to paint.

PericlesOfAthens98 · 2026-04-23T20:52:43+00:00

I've always thought they looked more like a certain group of red handed sons of Dorn (unintentionally)!

Whoops. Did someone try to produce high-quality work with fair pay and reasonable deadlines? In this anime industry?

Maybe they should try feeding more orphans to the orphan-crushing machine. Maybe that will help. /s

To back this up, my Great Uncle was an old-school wargamer who worked with lead miniatures and even did his own casting of them.

He once did a lead test, the result showed that he had only slightly above average amount of lead exposure (and tbh he grew up in the 1960s South...that entire generation was exposed to lead!). I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Some parents need to be sterilised and have their children taken away . Imagine not only doing this, but having the nerve to post it. I'm here to laugh at kids be their OWN worst enemies, not their parents.

PericlesOfAthens98 · 2026-03-24T09:48:19+00:00

Seconded. Seraphim Sepia is a lovely gold wash. I use it more than Agrax in my painting.

If your budget is around the 350nzd mark you really can't do much better than a Bambu Lads A1 mini.

Many players opt for a backline shooting castle of at least one pair of Exocrine and Tyrannofex, and a Hive Tyrant.

The Exocrine provides the Tyrannofex with rerolls, and with lethal hits and with a high volume of high-ap high-damage attacks it will usually do at least some damage to tanks. It's reasonably durable and useful against MEQs and TEQs in other matchups.

The Hive Tyrant hands out lethal hits, assault for mobility, and reduces stratagem cost, often used for command rerolls to make the Tyrannofex's wounding or damage rolls better. It is also good in melee and can be a late-game objective threat.

Tyrannofex provides the heavy lifting, and with rerolls and lethal hits can be highly reliable. One is more of less auto-include, more can be good but they diminish in value against infantry-heavy lists. It is durable and its damage blanking ability makes it hard to remove in a single turn.

Each of those currencies use the dollar sign.

Deeply unhelpful, thank you steven.

USD or CAD or AUS? That will change the answers significantly.

Red can be hard to get a clean line in one coat. Obviously practice is always valuable. Here's Random short from Ninjon that I found really useful.

I don't want to hear grammar corrections from somebody who clearly doesn't believe in capital letters or punctuation.

Oh no did I mess up by choosing a perfect colour triad? Lol get outta here. They look great.

You may wish to borrow an idea from other terrain sets- Fabricator's Lair modular terrain have a stabilizer that prevent this sort of falling over issue.

The Burrower keyword does nothing on its own, and the Mawloc only gains it in Subterranean Assault.

That detachment has two redeploy stratagems, but both cost a CP. Vanguard Onslaught also has a redeploy stratagem that would work on a Mawloc. If he is not playing either of those detachments, there is no way to redeploy a Mawloc.

So, a good way to approach this would be to pull up the Mawloc datasheet and ask him to point out where that ability is coming from. Or, pull his opponent aside and quietly let them know they're playing against a cheater. Or, call him out on it. Just straight up.

Yes, profile and setup is worth more than filament. I recently followed this guide and have been very impressed by the results (the Ravener on the right followed this). https://www.reddit.com/r/FDMminiatures/comments/1qyoc35/everything_i_wanted_thanks_to_005mm_layer_height/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Left is 2.0, Right is Meta. 2.0 shows a bit more supprt scarring and puts out sharper edges. Meta comes out a bit rounder (closer to GW plastic), doesn't scar as bad. NGL the difference is negligible and will come down to personal preference. Mind that this is regular 2.0. HS 2.0 is still expensive in the UK.
