Best AOS Conversion Bits in the new Adepta Sororitas Novitiates Kill Team

The new Kill Team box, Chanath, is almost here and it comes with a Tau team and a Adeptus Sororitas team. There is a decent amount of noise in the Age of Sigmar world on how these models are great conversion fodder for the old Sisters of Sigmar warband for Mordheim. 



Looking at the old Sister's models, its clear where the similarities (and easy conversions) lie.  Add some hammers, or even just get ride of the guns and you are basically there with these new models. I mean, the old models even have some whips like the new models. If you are looking for some more weapon swaps, either Stormcast weapons (maybe too big) or Flagellant kit weapons (the flails and maces in particular) would be good fits.  

While the new models are great, it wouldn't be super easy to convert them into some in AOS beyond Sisters of Sigmar or something related to Order of Azyr. The head coverings with the circlets combined with the head coverings draping down onto the torso means a head swap doesn't fit  unless you figure out a way to deal with the cowl on the torso. 

So this means it is kind of limited use for AOS, right?

Well not entirely! There are at least 3 GREAT bits for AOS conversions, and then 3 more that would be pretty useful.


1. I think the scroll would be a great bit for any sort of Sigmar loyal faction, either a wizard, champion, warrior priest, flagellant, witch hunter, etc. It even has a purity seal which could be used as a prayer to Sigmar.

2. This goblet is good! Again, a perfect fit for any Sigmar loyal unit or hero, could be used as a relic or a stand in for a standard bearer flag. 

3.The mace may be the best bit of the kit, would be a great unit champion weapon or hero weapon for anything Freeguild.

Personally, I'd use these bits to give some unique weapons and items to some Stormcast squires (or any sort of human that is from Azyr and focused on helping arm Stormcast, run logistics and support for Stormcast, etc.  The recent art put up on WarCom shows (I think) some Stormcast human retainers that these bits could go towards. 




Beyond the bits above, the ones in blue below could also be used by Freeguild units or characters. Need a couple of whips for a gryph hound master? Check! Need some dynamic 1 armed swords? Check! There are 10 of those swords in the kit, so you could use them to turn the Bogenhafen Barons Blood Bowl team into some blue blood Azyrite sword troops.

To wrap up, I think this new Kill Team box offers some decent conversion potential for AOS. If you just get the Adeptus Sororitas sprues and want to build some Sisters of Sigmar, I give it 10 out of 10 thunderbolts. If you don't want to build Sisters of Sigmar, I'd give the command sprue 6/10 thunderbolts (the command upgrade sprue has all the green bits on it) and the other sprues 3/10 thunderbolts.
