Sisters of Battle Repressor

The Repressor is an Imperial armoured personnel carrier (APC) based on the standard Rhino chassis.

The Repressor is used by both the Adeptus Arbites as a riot control and crowd suppression vehicle, and by the Adepta Sororitas as an infantry transport during intense urban battles.

The Repressor uses an extensively converted Rhino chassis; the transport compartment has been greatly expanded upon, a raised roof featuring firing slits for the passenger’s weapons has been added, a large dozer blade used to plow through debris and rioting mobs is attached to the front of the vehicle, and the vehicle possesses a small forward cupola-mounted turret. The Adeptus Arbites variant of the Repressor is armed with non-lethal weaponry such as water cannons and grenade launchers that fire stun and gas grenades at angry mobs. When the Adepta Sororitas started to use Repressors near the end of the 40th Millennium they replaced the non-lethal weapons with Storm Bolters and Heavy Flamers.

The model is no longer available from Forge World, and there is no new variant, or a replacement.

Cathedral of the Martyr Resplendent

The Cathedral of the Martyr Resplendent was a diorama at Warhammer World. It featured Word Bearers fighting Adepta Sororitas inside a Cathedral.

The Talledus system burns. Totalitarian faiths are the fuel, frenzied zealotry the spark that sets it ablaze. Hordes of Chaos-worshipping Word Bearers assault the strongholds of the Imperial creed, toppling statues and hurling libraries of holy texts into the flames.

The Cathedrum of the Martyr Resplendent is one such imperilled bastion, where the Battle Sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady make their stand, with righteous revulsion in their hearts.

Alongside the diorama were a fair few Adepta Sororitas models including this Adepta Sororitas Exorcist.

The Exorcist exemplifies the Adepta Sororitas’s unique blend of fervent devotion and ruthless prosecution of heresy. This mobile shrine to the Emperor is a masterpiece of ornate craftsmanship, rolling into battle while broadcasting hymns of praise. These inspiring sounds resonate across the battlefield, filling the hearts of the faithful with renewed faith and pride. When squadrons of Exorcists advance in armored spearheads, their combined hymns transform even the most brutal warzone into a resounding cathedral.

There was a also an Adepta Sororitas Castigator.

Castigators are formidable battle tanks of the Adepta Sororitas, designed to provide devastating fire support for their Battle Sisters. These heavily armored vehicles are equipped with a diverse arsenal, allowing them to engage a wide range of targets. Their primary role is to shatter enemy formations and decimate infantry ranks with overwhelming firepower. A single volley from a Castigator can tear through tightly packed enemy squads, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Whether unleashing a barrage of bolter fire, incinerating foes with flamestorms, or unleashing volleys of missiles, Castigators excel at clearing the path for advancing Sisters, turning the tide of battle in mere seconds. Their presence on the battlefield is a testament to the Emperor’s might, a symbol of righteous fury unleashed upon His foes.

Junith Eruita

Over on the Warhammer Community a new model for the Sisters of Battle has been shown off. It’s a model of Junith Eruita, a Canoness Superior of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, complete with flying pulpit.

This massive model is as gloriously over-the-top as Sisters of Battle classics like the Exorcist or Penitent Engine. It’s a floating pulpit with a massive aquila on the front and skeletons holding heavy flamers on the bottom.

I do think this is one bizarre model, even by the standards of Warhammer 40K.

Sisters of Battle Repressor

Though I have been modelling and painting my own Forge World Repressor for my Inqusitorial Stormtroopers, the model was really developed for the Sisters of Battle (though also used by the Adeptus Arbites). I do like this model (which is why I have one).

Sisters of Battle Immolator

One of the vehicles Simon has in his collection is this very nice Sisters of Battle Immolator.

The Immolator is a design exclusive to the Ministorum, based upon the ubiquitous Rhino chassis.

Immolators carry deadly twin heavy flamers, multi-melta, or heavy bolters. As well as its armament, the Immolator can carry a squad into the heart of the enemy army.

This is a really nice model and I like what Simon has done with it.

Sisters of Battle Repressor – Storm Troopers Transport Storm Bolter Turret

The Storm Bolter Turret on my Sisters of Battle Repressor – Storm Troopers Transport went together very easily.

These are the resin and plastic components.

Here is the completed turret.

It fits nicely into the turret ring.

The top don’t fit

The resin seems to have shrunk…

As I was building the Repressor I noticed that I had a problem. The new roof did not fit as expected, it was as though it had shrunk.

The top don't fit

The arrow points to the parts not fitting together as they should.

This is of course always a concern with resin parts and to be honest I almost expect it with Forgeworld models, these are resin kits which require skill not mass produced plastic kits which any old fool can put together!

Now the issue was how was I going to rectify this?
