Yea if they do end up being plastic and with a real codex I wanted to do a sisters army with the 3 FW knights

Yeah, my collection could use a few of those as well:





That'd get me everything I'd need to run a Holy Trinity of Knights right there.

The thermodynamics behind that are probably utterly nonsensical. Heat the air up enough to actually contain enough energy to melt armor and instead you'd probably just cause it to boil off as plasma and incinerate the shooter and anyone standing nearby as soon as the gun fired, or something equally impractical.

It shoots two different gases, at a very high velocity. They have a reaction together that creates a LOT of heat. And then, undefined science technomagic happen, and everything works!

Here ya go: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Melta_Weapons

The techno-space science:
"projecting the resulting plasma through the cannister and from the weapon's barrel as a blast of incredible heat"
"the Multi-Melta resembles two Meltaguns fused together, with thermal beams that coalesce into a single powerful beam with a longer effective range than their smaller cousins"

As to what the beam is:
"inducing a minute, sub-molecular nuclear fusion reaction"

TL : DR: Melta gun shoot Suns. I mean, if that is not delivering Holy fire...

Looking for more of a Pixie Cut look like what Celestine appears to have then?

I also think it's the bob-cut, just "flying bob-cut" (<--- Fluff art)

I replaced the standard guy with the Acheron.

I mean, he's the Holy Trinity on his own.... (with the added MM on his shoulder )
Plus, cleansing flame template of Doooooom!

Buzzcut is too Scout Marine for my tastes. Bald perhaps, or something simple sure, but not something that the marines wear.

Also buzzcuts just say "military" more than "nun" to me.

Sisters of Silence style?

How does 1 square inch of scalp produce a huge plume of hair? I think they'd get at most a little braided rat-tail out of it.

Do Sisters use that little patch to weave in a massive number of hair extensions that they blow out vigoriously to create a huge pony tail? The mind boggles at how much work must be required.

Or perhaps the pony tail attaches to their smooth, bald head with a suction cup? Then, when it's time to sleep, *pop!*, off it goes.

Woven out of the hair of rogue psykers. That'd be my guess.

It's space-hair. It has body and volume unguessed-at by modern man.

Could be a Hair Squig.

Or they used extensions.

I just thought of something.

If Naftka is actually right once than GW could release SOB tomorrow.

It is possible they are waiting for the Sisters of Silence to be done by FW before releasing similar models.

I've been burned by model rumors in the past and for the time being I only have faith in the codex rumors. Its a past that SoB have had reliable codex rumors but very un-reliable model rumors.

Though, you'd think that an imminent SoB release would be pretty big news in the hobby. The idea of all of the reliable rumour sources simply failing to see it coming beforehand amuses me.

Why? No need to be beholden to FW. Especially on a major army update, which would be more important than whatever FW is doing.

I'll eat vanilla cake if SoB releases tomorrow.


You must understand the level of LOATHING I have for Vanilla. I hate the gak.

Troike, honestly it's one of those things that even if they knew, would anyone believe them if they said it?

Reliable, well-known sources, sure. If someone like Harry or 40K radio said that SoB models were incoming, I think that most people would take notice.

What I was finding funny was the idea of one of these smaller, less reliable sources correctly announcing it while the established ones all miss it.

Harry only tracks WFB, and then just barely. 40k Radio is your only really hope and they seem to have run out of rumors these days.

They JUST predicted necrons correctly. I wouldn't say they ran out.

Where are they doing their rumor releases these days? It's not on their Facebook anymore it seems.

I'd go with this one, but being 40k and slightly more grim-dark, i think the "suction cup" part is tame.

A) Doubt they'd wait for that, FW releases according to GW, not the other way round...

B) FW was telling me book 8-9 of HH for Sisters of Silence (around those numbers, vague memory), and you can tell how fast those are coming out... I think he said somwhere like 2016 (at least)...

On their facebook page. They predicted Necrons on 12/8. Check their reply to other comments.

Guess I'm just missing the rumors because they're not making regular posts about them.

I know it's been 9 days but this detail popped up over on Bolter and Chainsword:

Yeah, that's right. 2013
These models have been packed away and kept secret for a good while now.

Quoted one of my posts from the Harlequin rumour thread.

Basically, if the Harlies have been around since 2013, could this mean that the rumours about Sisters being already done and waiting to be released have an element of truth to them?
I don't want to raise people's hopes too much, but I thought I'd still share this here to see what you all think.

So there may be hope yet.

Hey I got a question are there any units or vehicles or weapons that are talked about in the fluff that Sisters of battle don't have game wise?

FW has the Repressor which is out of stock and has been for a while now. But other than that there is only one thing that comes to mind:



Massive mobile cathedrals. Seems like prime Super Heavy material to me.

Well, natfka is not the greatest source...

But he DID state necrons will be followed by quinns a few weeks ago, and said the next coming are sitkari and than SoB

So, if we get hits of sitkari, it will be relatively safe to think the sisters are finally coming. (estimated date is may)

So yeah, necrons and harlequins were right on target... maybe we'll get lucky on the Sisters.

I'd be more than happy to drop coin on new sisters, as most people would be.

Yeah, they haven't even released rules for about a third of the Legions yet. There was a fairly negative response among the 30K guys to the most recent book given that it had no new Legion rules. I mean, I'm sure they all still bought it, lol. But a lot of them weren't happy about it coming out before rules for Wolves/1KSons/Ultramarines/etc.

Of what I got for the Admech rumors from Natfka is that Sitkari are not coming out for a good while (read as at least 2016 at the earliest for 40k Admech, in my option) and in the past of the times that SoB have had rumors pop up, a new SoB codex was a few months later after the rumors. Like back in 2011 we had SoB rumors and we ended getting the WD update in that same year. While I didn't follow the rumors for the SoB digital dex we got the digital dex withing the same year if not a few months of those rumors as well (didn't follow these one's so correct me if i'm wrong). With the recent SoB rumors I can be safe to assume that SoB will be getting a new codex this year before Sitkari.

I'll hold off on any model rumors till i have plastics in hand because we got the WD update last time there were model rumors.
