Don't get me wrong. The Living Saint is a cool character, but she doesn't fit the descriptor of a 'centerpiece model', like say a Land raider, or other large vehicle. The SoBs have so few good units, and nothing around which to center an army. The Sw can be centered around those new Thunderwolf cavalry models, the Necrons have a boatload of new toys to build an army around. Even the Orks have several ramshackle vehicles that the eye is drawn to because they're big and cool. We have various expensive metal models none of which will be Finecraft, I might add) and Rhino variants, and nothing else.

Celestine may not be the beat stick some of the other Independent Characters are, but it she is hard to beat in terms of value. She's the second-least criticize-able character in the SoB codex. I'll call you names if you say something bad about Uriah. :)

It would be nice to have some sort of flier even its only a repurposed SM or IG unit (would it really be so hard for GW to pony up one lousy option sprue to make it work?), considering we don't even have a 'centerpiece model', and the Living Saint doesn't match up with all the cool hotness everyone else has.

Having another worthwhile choice in Fast Attack would be awesome and might cut down on the cost of the army a bit since a dominion squad probably costs around 85 dollars US (2 sisters, 1 superior, 2 special wpns, and a rhino\immolator). A single decent vehicle would save around 20 dollars even its a big flier. Across 3 squads thats 60 dollars not to mention it woudl be new and go liek hotcakes for GW.

SIsters hurt for soemthign that actually goes fast. Even IG can outpace Sisters and they don't even get the benefits of the Ecclesiarchy's deep pockets.
