Subject: SoB codex rumors, natfka, bring lots of salt
I've heard similar murmurings around my FLGS. Certainly nothing I'd hang my hat on as a confirmation or even an above average plausibility but this trend of behavior does point in a good direction.
I'll believe it when I see it. I've been hearing the same murmurs for over 15 years.

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)
Of what I got for the Admech rumors from Natfka is that Sitkari
OK, now you're both at it. It's Skitarii. Sitkari sounds like a racist slur for something.

Well as Zion has pointed out there is the “Massive mobile cathedrals” on tracks.

I haven't seen his name before (granted I don't hang out on HO). If you're just confirming other people's stuff though, that's not really rumor mongering.

I'm checking if he knows specific kits.

I do know that some sisters have been done for a while
Same with new Eldar Jetbikes. We've even seen the prototypes. Yet, 10 years on, and we're still with the same old Jetbikes as ever.
Actually the Eldar Jetbikes never made it into production. Goodwin said that with the Eldar update he was limited to one thing of the line to update so went with the Wraithguard. Bikes and Aspect Warriors got skipped because of it.

So what? It's a big company making lots of miniatures.
I am pretty sure that for every miniature GW actually releases, 3 others failed to get a green light to go beyond the prototype/3D-print/resin mock-up stage and 10 failed to get a green light to go beyond the CAD/concept stage.
Numbers randomly made up by myself, but as a general gist. The number of miniatures Jes Goodwin (and all the other sculptors) made that did not get releases probably outnumber those that did get released many times over.

Harlequins are about as niche as they come, a sublist of something that is not Space Marines, not Eldar. And yet, GW saw fit to move them to plastic over higher volume Aspects in a mainline army.

They had a codex in the past. GW is bringing back old codexes. This is unrelated to other codex releases.

Yes.
Though they don't appear to be a sub-faction no more. They seem to be their own line/faction now, no less than Grey Knights or Orks.
Either way, one possible reason might have been that aspect sculpts/miniatures "failed" the muster at some point in the design process (if they ever went into the pipeline recently), for aesthetics, production problems, or perhaps even the difficulties of publishing either an "Aspect Warrior Codex" and/ or a completely new Craftworlder Codex at this point in time.

Untrue. The Harlequins have NEVER had a Codex. Never.
The Harlequins had a couple of Citadel Journal articles that created a list, and it was legal to play as such. But it was never a Codex. Not even something like the Codex: Assassins pamphlet from 2E. Not even published in White Dwarf.
If you go back, Harlequins were in the 2E Eldar Codex, and then reappeared as a slimmed down Elites pick, but never has there ever been a proper Codex: Eldar Harlequins.
Sure. Just wanted to clarify, considering how narrow the Harlequins range has been, along with their Codex status.
Now compare with Eldar Aspects and/or Sisters of Battle - both of which have had proper Codices dating back to 2E, with new Codices in every edition for Eldar, and nearly every edition for Sisters.
It boggles the mind that GW creates new plastic Harlequins with their "expensive" sculpting and tooling process, but won't do this for Aspects or Sisters. That's insane.

Charles are getting what? 4 kits? Sisters arguably need more than that (Basic Sister with upgrades to help cover the different units that use that body, Canoness, Seraphim, Repentia, Priest/Confessor, Named characters (either the ones we have or new ones), Exorcist and Penitent Engine) and that's not counting splitting the different units into their own boxes with extra heavies or specials or making each unit distinct.
And how many Aspects and Phoenix Lords need an update to plastic again?
This is just a much cheaper release is all and doing it this way means that budget wise the Eldar have room for other stuff to be updated.

You could do a GK-style Sisters release with three plastic kits if you didn't add any new units (PA Battle Sisters, Repentia, and their tanks, four kits if you didn't want to put alternate legs into the Battle Sisters box for Seraphim).
As to Aspect Warriors a lot of the armour elements are common, an acrobatic-posed light-armour kit that builds Swooping Hawks or Howling Banshees, a mobile-pose heavy-armour kit that builds Warp Spiders and Striking Scorpions, a static-pose heavy-armour kit that builds Dark Reapers and Fire Dragons, and a resculpted Jetbike kit with parts to build them as Shining Spears and you're good. Presumably it'd have to be spread out quite a bit since then you'd have to make clampack Phoenix Lords, but GW has released Codexes with more than four new plastic kits before (not often but it's happened).
