Sabbat Helms (and bretonnian bits?)
« on: June 9, 2008, 11:13:16 AM »
I've literally just brought a witch hunters codex, and the fluff has gotten me interested in taking a squad or two of battle sisters, but i prefer the 'sabbat' pattern helmets to the identical hairstyles/colours.

The question is, how many of these sort of heads can you get in the 10 model box set?

In case calling them 'sabbat' helmets in non-descriptive, or obscure:

Also, has anyone had any positive conversion experiences using the full-face helms from the bretonnian knights errant, or any other bretonnian bits?

thanks

Eh... If I remember right, you get 5 or 6 of the helmet-less Sisters in the Battlesister squad box.

Not sure if you know, the Battlesister box doesn't come with sprues, as the Sisters are metal models.

I toyed around with Celestian squads all with helms...ended up just going squads of ten with unique models, helmets or not. 

About 1 in 3 have helmets. 

There's also a heavy weapons body with a helmet. 

Get on the GW online shop and type in sisters of battle, should show you everything. 

I don't think you can order helms alone, but you can minimize the non-helms, especially if you cherry pick the blisters in your local store. 

There is also a Sabbat pattern helm on the Immolator sprue. 
I ordered a few extra and head swap my Superiors with their stupid looking fleur de lis on their helms.  Works fine.  Take the head off with a jeweller's saw,  just be careful not to scrath the cloak collar.
