Looks like he's making a concerted effort to cover all the lists that GW has never supported - Genestealer Cult (which lets him do Tyranids), Tau (which lets him do Kroot), Sisters, and he's got mock-ups of Dark Eldar going too.

I'm trying to tell myself that I wouldn't be interested in a Sisters army.

Do you have any minis from this guy yet? What is the quality like?

And just to help out: You wouldn't be interested in a Sisters army.

I'm currently debating on whether to spend my next ichi-man of hobby allowance on the core of my Tau force from this guy or a whole mess of buildings. I haven't seen any of the minis "in the flesh", but he has pics of actual minis, both painted and unpainted, and they look quite good:

Well-reviewed, too.

Nice! Is there a Sisters list?

The NetEA folks have one, and it's one of the better-looking ones (really, they're almost all good, but you can generally get an idea of the quality of a list by how long its list of special rules is, and the Sisters have exactly one and it's pretty straightforward*). Sisters are an assaulty army with good but extremely short-ranged shooting, as you'd expect, and have access to fun stuff like Redemptionist Crusades and giant tracked cathedrals with Promethium cannons.

*Formations of Sisters can take a -1 to their initiative (usually 1+) to perform an Act of Faith as they activate, giving them Fearless and an Invulnerable Save until their next activation.

Cute little goggles on the not-Seraphs. I don't want Sisters!

[me_in_japan]

Kind of a not-quite-chibi look going on there. I suppose if you're going to do it on any army it may as well be Sisters.

[The Other Dave]

And the obligatory CYA "unit that doesn't appear in the GW fluff" unit, heh.

I quite like 'em, actually. I'm not sure if they're exactly "chibi" - quite a bit of it is likely "trying to make something recognizably female at 6mm scale" as much as anything.

[The Other Dave]

Hmm! Looks like the Onslaught dude is (quite wisely, considering IP and all) making is Sisters force something that could be used as proxy Marines if you wanted to.

That tank is really nice.

Close enough to a rhino, yet different enough to add a touch of character.
