BOSS SHOP: DUNE - BENE GESSERIT SISTERHOOD - PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood has been the most difficult Faction to build for my DUNE Skirmish Game. I wanted to find some cool miniatures to represent these badass women properly. I found what I wanted after months of searching and it turned out great I think... it was FUN!

 Ole hippy activist Frank described almost nothing in his sleepy novels. I call it Dune-fog-vision. Cool things are happening but feel free to imagine just about anything visually. A happy consequence of Frank's vague space drama narrative is that we get to see a million versions of The DUNE Universe!

In the decades past the DUNE novels first publication DUNE has been wonderfully illustrated! These modern artist did what Frank could-would not do. I have found much to ponder and enjoy while researching! You can barely find art that is consistent in design, but some of it is similar in the basic vision of the concept. Look up any character or the beloved worms; you will find great variation, and I like it, because much of it is well done.

The Dune-fog-vision has made it easy for me to use the models and miniatures that I like and that look the way I want them to look. I am happy to report that I have found great models that matchup with what I see when reading the wonderful DUNE Novels. With GW being inspired by Classic Sci-Fi properties like DUNE and the wild selection available on Etsy this new adventure has been a lot of fun.


The Sisterhood is a small but potent faction in The DUNE Universe timeline I have set my skirmish game in. I am using them as mercenaries and provacatures. My Sisters are going to function much like my Spice Pirates who often show up at any time, and almost anywhere: particularly during a battle they intend to manipulate to their advantage! I will also have small groups of Sisters allied with most of the other factions. I can add their heroines to any Great House too of course... which will be great fun.


As I planned my DUNE Miniatures Game I did a lot of NEW Research since I recently started reading the Brian Herbert main storyline Dune Universe Prequel Novels. I looked at what other DUNE enthusiast have done with scratch and limited release/converted miniatures and models too!




More to come... THE SPICE WILL FLOW!
