Heresylab minis sisters of battleCheck out some affordable Sisters models that look great, as Heresylab is quickly making itself into a great alternative to GW for your hobby dollars.

Heresylab sent Rob a huge box of minis to review and promote for them, including these modes that were inspired by the GW Sisters of Battle line! Let’s dive right in and check out the miniatures, plus what he has to say.

Get Sisters Miniatures For Less: Resin Alternatives to GW Heresylab

JustinaFirst up we’ve got Sister Justina. This first model really gives us a sense of how the line is designed. There’s a clear inspiration coming from that Victorian hairstyle! The design will definitely fit right in with the grim-dark. Not to mention all the detail holy cow, you could go crazy with this model!

saint manakelSaint Manakel is next up, with clear inspiration from Saint Celestine. There is even an optional iron halo and hand with doves! One clear improvement is not only the detail but also the thickness of the cloth holding up! Every Celestine owner ever has worried about those pesky bits breaking, luckily that doesn’t seem to be as big of a worry here.

Sister AgustaAfter that, we’ve got Rob’s personal favorite, Sister Augusta. Once again with the Victorian era vibe, she is a little unique from Justina due to that sweet flamer!

female inquisitorNow we have a female inquisitor, in a Captain Morgan pose. This has a little bit different style lacking the Victorian hair, but the newly slain demon head well makes up for it.

captain morgan inquisitorIf that wasn’t enough there is another captain morgan style miniatures! This one has fewer demons and more preaching! The Nun-style headdress is also a welcome addition.

battle sisterThis next battle sister is a little bit different than the other models so far. But if you ask me, that chain sword and smug look add more intimidation.

enforcerThere are also two slightly smaller, older models that look just as good. First is this enforcer model, which might just give you some alternative options to some Necromunda models. With her riot shield and baton, she ain’t taking no crap from nobody.

old sisterThe second of the slightly smaller models is this old sister. This looks to be more in line with the official sisters in terms of look, but you can also really see how it’s different from the posing and attitude.

purifierThere is even this beast! This Purifier is a great option if you wanted more mechs in your life. There is a bit more skin than the usual models, and it is noticeably taller, but there are some options in terms of conversions and what you could add on to!

Sister martha size compareThe last we’ve got is this Sister Martha size compare. You may recognize her from the featured image. By far one of the cooler models of this bunch, with a cool staff (that you can see here) and the sword combo. She is also very unique even among the others in the line!

As for the size, all of the other models are very close to her size and stand at or very close to primaris sized (except of course the purifier).
