That was back in the day before Sisters were cast in pure gold. These days I cannot afford to play in that rarefied strata of society, and plans of a Sisters of Battle army are long gone. Even eBay sellers have gone mad with SoB greed. Slop some paint on a single Sisters model, call it "pro painted", and then ask $20 for it; that seems to be the operating wisdom these days.
Were it not for the generosity of a friend, I would not be able to show you my new and tiny collection of Sisters.
I will use SoB in skirmish or scenario play 40K games. I can add in an Inquisitor and some Imperial Guard to round out things. Honestly, I'll probably draft them into service for other non-GW games. I'm already thinking of other meanings for their iconography and gender bias. I can shove them into some 5150:SA games. I'll find a way to make use of them and have an excuse to get more of them.
However, I won't be buying Seraphim models. At $14 per model, a "codex legal" squad costs $70. That makes Seraphim the one of most expensive squad in 40K. I really have better things to buy for that price than five models.

Those sisters look good man, I wonder who the friend was ;-)
Now what you need to do is buy a Rhino/Imolater to give the girls something to ride in.
Perhaps I need to look for a few other extras.
Thanks Tim! Yeah, I wasn't going to volunteer my secret source! Any extras hanging around looking for a paint job, well, they have a home wit me.
Hey Jerry, they look very nice. I am going to plug away for my favorite web site, chaosorc.com. I looked on their site before writing this and under the Witch Hunters they had blisters of SOB. They are priced very low for blisters. You might want to take a look.
I have now decided I love chaosorc.com! Those were blisters were dirt cheap! Nineteen more Sisters are on their way to my house!
They actually had Seraphim there, but they had not jump packs. Too bad about that. I cleaned out the rest of their stock of Sisters, though. Thanks Mike!
