1. I've never heard of this girl, not even in my Codex.
2. I'm sure that there are women out there in the Eye of Terror as well. I doubt the Gods are that picky. You're not using Sisters of Battle, you're using female miniatures.
3. They always fall to Slaanesh it seems, and it makes me think of sex and other kinky hedonisms. confused
If you get into it, you could say that they found out that the Emperor isn't dead, and that there's a corrupt network at the top of the Terran Government, and they're going to like...
I dunno, work on that.

This is the blurb I wrote. It was literally the first thing that came to my head, and it's based specifically on my sweet, sweet visions of the Celestine conversion. There is nothing preceding or ... postceding it: I The climax of Acradius’ campaign took place on the world of Soma, where there was quartered the convent-compound of a Preceptory of the Order of the Ebon Chalice. The fighting was swift and brutal, and with the planet’s highest officials secret indoctrinated, the Sisters therein stood little chance. But the Dark Apostle’s greatest achievement on Soma was not the succinct victory or the brilliant deception that lead to its downfall – but the subsequent mental and physical torture that brought the Canoness and her charges to renounce the Imperial Cult and embrace the pantheon of Chaos. Some came willingly when they lost all hope, others when they stared, eyes held open, into the gaping maw of the Immaterium, and some had to be… broken. Acradius would not be satisfied with “join us or die” – in his twisted mind, only the former existed. Of all the hundreds of Sisters that survived the battle, it was not the Canoness who lasted the longest before shattering, or the Palatine, but rather a Sister Superior of the Seraphim. So steadfast was her faith that when she was broken, even those who had already fallen wept. So you can see where my concern lies. If it comes down to it, I can always just call them female "conscripts" in the Legion, as you mentioned.

Actually that sounds solid enough.
No matter how much someone believes, there are things so much worse than death.

Question: Okay now.
First up: When you mastercraft a weapon only the cost for mastercrafting counts against the point limit. So master crafting a 25 point powerfist means it only cost 15 points towards the limit.
Next: Acolytes can only take 15 points of wargear.
See where im going?
if you want your acolyte to have, say a powerfist, its 25 points so they cant take it, but what if you mastercraft it? can he take it now?
Is my thinking right or not?

No, because the Acolyte's restriction is "15 points of equipment from the Witch Hunters Armoury," not 15 points of wargear.
It should also be noted that power fist is not available from the Witch Hunters Armoury, although you did only use it as an example.
That Acolyte is free to mastercraft his laspistol or close combat weapon, though. 3nodding

You should also remember that posting individual point values is a big GW no-no.

whats your views on inquistors/lords, i personally think they suck as a clesetian is cheaper has a better balistic skill and theres more of them. Backed up by a cannoness with a power weapon,master crafted plasma pistol(gets rid of them annoying little 1's) is far more effective and they dont have to buy a retinue

I'd say it is possible to buy a weapon and then master-craft it for your acolyte.
But others will not.
It's one of those rules that are open to interpretation, can't be helped if people agree/disagree.

I can see where a lot of rules are mostly open to interpretation, but it is written there in black and white. There can't be any other interpretation: Acolytes may purchase 15 points of equipment from the Witch Hunters Armoury.
Which cost (the weapon or the wargear) is magically ignored for the purposes of this limit? xp

I guess i will have to mail them or something with the question, since we have something of a split here. I wonder how long it will take them to get to me?

Yeah, sure, it's open to interpretation if you completely ignore what's written there.

I can see where the original idea came from, but now, it can't be done.
It's the base cost, then add the cost for master crafting.
GW may not be gud at ingrish, but they're not dumb enough to make something immensely strong cost less than the weak version.
