The Sisters of Battle Combat Patrol has arrived at the studio, check Rob’s unboxing and thoughts on the newest Adepta Sorritas release!
We’re back unboxing the new big releases for the Sisters of Battle, it’s pretty similar (basically exact plus a Rhino and minus a codex/ datacards)! Rob sees what it takes to get them ready for the tabletop, shows the size of the models, and tells you the GOTCHAS to be aware of when building them!
We are going to show you everything including the sprues, bits, and of course, the size. That way you can decide if this is worth your hard-earned hobby dollars.

Here’s the box we’ll be taking a look at, it does lack a little imagination on GW’s side and has some really small units that won’t do much to bolster your collection but the box does have some value. A shocker though is GW actually lowered the price on the Rhino, from $70 to $60, just something to think about.
If you want to see the value of the box, you can check that out here. Rob also breaks it down in the video for you as well.
Instructions
As far as assembly goes, this kit is pretty straightforward. There is one small error on the sprues to look out for though, where two parts share the same number. This box also doesn’t have a lot of customization options other than head swaps.
The same thing goes for the Seraphim with the heads being the main thing you can swap.
Built Minis
The minis are pretty easy to build but they do have a lot of sandwiched parts, meaning there will be a decent amount of mold lines and some gaps to fill. Rob recommends using the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement to help with the lines on the robes.
The quality of these minis is amazing and are pretty dynamic even though they don’t have a ton of customization.
The Seraphim are pretty sweet, but you will have to drill out the barrels and trim the mold lines. The only downside is the lack of options in this box for them.
The Repntia are also dynamic and just great minis overall, even though you don’t get too many of them in the box.
Again, a well-designed mini but there is a ton of flash to trim and you only get one of them. Just be careful when building this one because there are some fiddly parts.
The New Addition: the Rhino
You get all the Sisters bits and then the Rhino Chasis separately.
The instructions haven’t changed much in the last 15 years or so, but the instructions do help for adding all the Sisters’ bits on.
Obviously, with all the bits it looks a lot cooler than a normal one, overall it’s still a well-designed mini that looks pretty cool. Everything slots in pretty easily and most of the parts just fit in without glue.
When compared with the Immolator, it’s not as fancy.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Rob thinks this is a pretty decent value because it has enough value inside to make it worth it.
