I'm sad, because I never got to field Celestine in front of a Death Company squad. Oh well.
To repeat a point, Celestine is the type of character that has been made Lord of War in other codices... there weren't any other Lords of War in the book. It's not all doom. 90 point Immolators? That a great blocker for a melta dominion squad in their own Immolator.
Onto the name of the detachment

Vestigial - adj; forming a very small remnant of something that was once much larger or more noticeable

I think that this is either a mean-spirited joke, or a hint that something more is coming.

Vestal not vestigial.

Also, the detachment is strictly worse than a car. No ob sec.

English fail. Sorry folks.

Vestal - a vestal virgin, relating to the Roman Godess Vesta, or a chaste woman, especially a nun.

Yeah, I agree that the detachment is strictly worse than a CAD. It still gives me hope that a supplement is on the way with a composite detachment, Lord of War Celestine, and plastic kits. Until then, I'm out. Done making mistakes for the day.

Except now shes backpedaling like no tomorrow. As are people on 4chan.

Quite frankly that warhammer tv thing was a spiteful joke. They should just come out and admit it.

Some still hope its February but from what I am hearing its not its AoS related stuff then.

Unchanged. That's a relief.

As noted previously, Act of Faith lasts until the end of player turn now. If this is the same for others, this could be good for Seraphim or Rets (that's about it) since they have a rule that works in multiple phases.

They said that there was a Sisters of Battle sprue in the bin and that it wouldn't be out for a few months.

To be fair to the joke it did contain the words "These aren't due out for months" or something to that effect. And we are just now getting Magnus. So just gerd those loins a bit.

its attached

sorry for the obnoxious parts but its direct from a 4chan thread.

you can read it two ways but its obvious to those who know gw sisters are now just waiting for 8th to be written off

S.Y.

"There should be more plastic sisters on the way" is backpedaling?

if you have been around for every sisters rumor since 2002 i think i have a right to say GW are just being petty with a resin Sister, and not the plastic ones you dont even see which could be a joke. and knowing GW it is. unless i see proof now i consider them dead. i think its time we face facts.

S.Y.

"on the way........no ETA"
"........in a few months"

Looks like people need to learn the virtue of patience instead of assuming its all coming RIGHT NOW when its written than it isn't.

no ETA covers her behind iif it doesnt happen. before she was basically yes , now its more kinda if, thats backpedaling

S.Y..

They said Q1 2017. As far as I know it's always been no ETA Q1 2017. That's all the way out through March. Not having a date doesn't mean it's not happening. This codex existing has nothing to do with the rumor, and people expected plastic sisters way too early just because a rumor was out there.

I've been patient for over 15 years

15 years? Bit of an overegged pudding there and a bit longer won't hurt then, will it?

Yeah, while I don't really expect much at this point, let's be fair-- the rumors said the first few months of 2017, not in December. So if they ARE true it's not happening this year anyway.

That fact seems to be something people aren't grasping. They want them HERE and NOW after waiting since 2001 (apparently)

first rumors of plastic sisters were 2002 its now nearly 2017. okay roughly 15. but still.

2002, when GW first announced they were coming on GW's own official website. And then a few years later, when Jes Goodwin said they're '"almost done". Then a few years later again, when another GW core employee said "they're almost done".

Yes, I've been there, too.

There's plenty of reason to doubt given GW's history on the topic. I'm not arguing there should be a particularly large amount of hope and hype for a plastic Sisters release, only trying to be fair to the rumormongers.

There's no reason they can't do Sisters AND AoS in the same month. Wrath of Magnus, Traitor Legions, and C:IA is all within a month.

I expected them Feb, but from what im aware of it simply is not true
i dont know what march is, possibly some box but i dont see sisters in a game instead of marines.

S.Y.

Celestians also got 'until end of turn' instead of phase.

Pretty sure it was before that.

They are months away, as of October. Q1 2017 seems reasonable.

People complained forever about GW Not previewing things further than a few weeks, they do a cheeky little nod to something and there's this gnashing at teeth about it

Might be the new starter kits that've been floating around. Or just the ones people are hopeful about.

So the Inquisitor who isn't my warlord can have a warlord trait in addition to the one my warlord already has?

Loads of stuff has been rumoured in plastic for many years - its a game and industry in itself. For people to get angsty and petulant about supposedly having waited many years for something that was only rumoured is a bit.............well.................
