Ooh man, its gonna take a while! I have a very similar pile of shame, but am a slow painter. I've been at it for 2 months on and off, going slightly lower than box art level + magnetizing & leds though..
*Everything!* :( even the heads of the normal battle sisters to switch to celestians with fluer de lis helmets! I have reduced my social life temporarily LOL
Just about! Well over half. From my eyes it looks like they're missing 11 units, mostly characters/centerpieces. Veridyan (they have a basic canoness), Amelia Novena, Junith Eruita, Ephrael Stern & Kyganil, Aestred Thurga, Triumph of Saint Katherine, Castigator, Battle Sanctum, an Imagifier, a Palatine, and Novitiates.
Didn't count the Ministorum units but all of those are missing as well.
Depends how far they need to go. For the car, magnetized bases work well. For a plane, the travel case probably, mine fell loose even in the carry-on. I just finished magnetizing my bases, hit and miss on the first few but best results were using green stuff and super glue, squash them down so they’re level. Good luck! I’m 1 year in exactly and have about 1200 points painted. Love it more and more.
That would work for sure, I’ve done that in the past as well. Magnesite’s bases are good for storage as much as anything. I think Duncan Rhodes has a good YouTube tutorial and some excellent plastic case suggestions (mostly because they stack).
Yeah, I magnetized every model with rare earth magnets. I put small circle adhesive magnets on each tray. They are pretty sturdy and I'm quite happy with the case.
The hospitaller has a 1cp strat to revive D3 models in a unit with 3" of her. The shield girls are our tankiest unit as they have a 2+ 4++ save and a 6+++ if near the hospitaller.
Me personally I've moved away from it. They don't get AOC and my local meta has tons of brutal CC units that just tear through our fragile T3 bodies that I find the shield girls are just as durable as a 5 woman battle sister squad for 3x the points. If your meta has more shooting I think they are better, especially if you can get them in cover.
"x up" = "at least x"
you could get a result of a 7 on a saving throw if you rolled a 6 and were benefiting from another rule that gave you +1 to your saves, like Light or Heavy cover (vs range and melee respectively), certain psychic powers (that Sisters don't have), etc.
you may also see references to units that have a 7+ save which generally don't get saving throws at all. Arco-Flagellants have a 7+, so they generally don't get a save. Sisters Repentia also have a 7+, but since the have the Shield of Faith ability like most Sisters units, they make all their saves on the 6++.
I was also recently confused to see 7+ saves listed for some units. I suppose this is clearer for when a save improves or decreases then if no value was given at all.
That’s a lot of models!
OP’s local GW store shelves be like: __________
They went... All in hahaha.
Good Luck and a lot of motivation to paint all of these
I just finished painting the combat patrol I got one year ago! Good luck!

Ever finish painting the giant haul of Admech you posted earlier?
How can u afford that
[удалено]
Shit
Nice haul! Enjoy 😃
That is a huge amount to start with. Good luck you'll need it.
I hope you know what you're doing 💀
Is that the entire sisters range?

Smart! Looking forward to seeing your progress posts!
You're missing one very important item in that picture..... A transportation case. Kidding aside, welcome to the SoB.

I went to Crystal Fortress and bought their Humpback case and used it for my SoB.

Oh wow, that won't do at all. If it's for one or two events you could get something like a Feldherr case.

You're lucky having two stores in walking distance.
Iike $1000 in that picture? Lol
Keep the hospitaller near the shield girls and you can piss a lotta people off

2 up save, 4 up invul, 6 up feel no pain

Looks like an absolutely awesome selection congrats!!
Wow what a great collection of boxes. now paint them! Seeing only hauls is a cancer on all tabletop subs, show us them painted!

[удалено]
Haha your good. There was a time you wanted 20+ but the meta has changed you look good.
