Does any one have a Battle Sister with Multi Melta mini ( http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1620159&prodId=prod1090162 ). I was thinking of using one for my mini for the Rouge Trader RPG, but my Ach-Militant is male. The mini looks non-gender specific from the photo, but can anyone confirm that for me?
Thanks!
Well the mini has a pair of boobs behind that big multi-melta if that's what you're asking?
Also, the armour is shaped with a feminine body type in mind. Still, I have to praise GW for actually designing the armour of the Adepta Sororitas to actually look... you know "useful", in contrast to many other sci-fi and fantasy settings where all female characters run around in skimpy little metal pieces that reveal way too much soft flesh to actually be useful as armour (of course GW does have minis like that as well, but at the very least the Sisters of Battle don't look like an entire army clad in metal bikinis, which would be utterly ridiculous).
But if you plan to use it for a male character, you'll have some serious and near impossible converting business to look forward to if you want to "butch it up" to look male rather than female since that mini is completely cast in white metal. Had it been plastic it might have been easier to convert, but this one would be difficult.
The sisters are actually very feminine in shape. If you're looking for a male version you may find it easier to convert something similar using components fron one of the various bitz services:

I'd suggest looking at a plastic multi melta from the space marine devatators set. You should be able to convert most platic models fairly easily to carry it - either a marine, or if you want sometihng less armoured maybe a scout.
