**Slayer le boucher**

From BoLS

Warhammer 40,000 Summer Campaign this year:

Sororitas and Space marines are the Imperial side

Tzeentch is the focus of the antagonists with multiple new kits:

– Plastic Lord of Change

– New Tzeentch Daemon unit

– New Tzeentch CSM unit (perhaps new plastic Thousand Sons – Rubric Marines)

Look for this campaign on the far side of WFB 9th which is occurring earlier in the year.

Take extra salt, has this involve Chaos models that arn't part of WHB...

Hmm, that would make yet another example of Sororitas showing up of late in a campaign. GW is certainly ratcheting up the faction’s visibility.

~Not totally unexpected. Basically another “Stormclaw/Shield of Baal” type of release.

**jonolikespie**

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure.......

This sounds likely.

Is it actually being said by anyone even on the rumour tracker or is this a BoLS anonymous?

**Slayer le boucher**

No freakin idea honestly.

It only says "via the birds in the trees 2-10-2015", dunno if it someone username or simply a way to say anonymous...

**Wonderwolf**

Lol. Sororitas and (!) Tzeentch?

Probably forgot about the plastic Thunderhawk in the box

Spoiler:

**mazik765**

I want to believe....

**streamdragon**

If anything at all comes out of this as true, I'd see new Tzeentch Daemons as it. Daemons are multi-game units that can sell for both systems, so I sort of expect a ramp up in Daemon production.

If this does turn out to be true (which I doubt), plastic sisters showing up in a limited run box would be a hilarious move by GW. And by hilarious I mean total dick move.

Which is another reason to doubt this.

The Stormclaw/Deathstorm-boxes have been used by GW to shift mostly ancient plastic models with the incentive of a single-sprue character.

If there'd be a "Tzeentch box" in that format, it'd be old Horrors/Screamers/etc.. with maybe a unique Herald or so thrown in. Sisters, as it stands, don't really support the format. If (big, very big if) they're ever updated, it'd be more a Harlequin-style release, not a Stormclaw-style release.

**pretre**

As much as this is a salty BOLS rumor, can we get a better thread title with actual spelling?

"Rumored 40k Summer Campaign: Sisters/Marines vs Thousand Sons"

**ClockworkZion**

I don't doubt the existence of the campaign, I just don't think that we can count on rules or models for Sisters to be released in it just yet.

Yeah, this.

I doubt it. It's BOLS.

**Lockark**

This is a recycled rumor. I'm positive someone once posted about a sisters vs csm starter set back when talking about the 6th or 7th ed starter sets.

This is just a zombie rumor

**Rainbow Dash**

Still would totally play sisters if they got redone... hell I'd consider playing them right now... get rid of all my fantasy stuff and harlequins and ancient orks...

Couldn't have been BoLS. They had in-depth scoops on a proper Dark Vengeance sequel for "not-7th-but-just-minor-updates"(tm) because 7th never happened and only the starter box got replaced.

We have already talked a bit about the first half of the year, and now we have word of perhaps the key product of the Q3-4 – An updated Warhammer 40,000 boxed set. Here are the details:

Launch Window – @September
Rules Summary: Updated Mini-rulebook contains FAQs, minor tweaks and clarifications, and much of Stronghold Assault rolled into a new shiny package.

Miniatures included: @70
Armies:
Blood Angels (plastic quick assembly)
- Assault Marine Squad
- Tactical Marine Squad
- Death Company Squad
- Captain (kitted out for assault)
- Chaplain
- Sanguinary Priest (limited edition, similar to the Dark Vengeance mini was)
Orks (plastic quick assembly)
- ‘Ardboys (full mob)
- Nobs (small squad)
- Warboss
- Big Mek
- Ork themed fortification

This was described as simply an updated Warhammer 40,000 Starter Set and specifically “NOT 7th Edition.”

You will note that September falls right smack in the middle of the rumored release slots for Orks (a couple of months before), and Blood Angels (a couple of months after).

On first glance the “not 7th Edition” makes no sense until you go back and read this. This could certainly be the start of GW rolling the “organic living ruleset” for 40K that does away with edition numbers and the sales dips they cause. Instead we would get updated core products such as rulebooks and starter sets from time to time to “bring them up to speed” with all the most current rules additions that have been rolled out in the intervening years.

This rumor comes from high-confidence sources.

Doesn't really matter if its true or not, I'd really like to play Sisters again, I had to sell them a number of years ago during some hard financial times and I really wish I still had them.

Last one wasn't about a campaign, didn't feature loyalist Marines and this one doesn't promise Sisters models. Other than Sisters and CSM being in the same paragraph they aren't that alike.

Yes?

In a discussion about rumours, probability of their veracity seems a fitting subject, especially in the "News & Rumors" part of Dakka? No?

I emphasise with wanting to play Sisters, rumours be damned, but that's probably a topic for 40K general? No?

Not enough for this rumor, need more salt

**Cryptek of Awesome**

Sounds like just another SoB story to me.

**Nvs**

I want to believe. I love the lore behind the Thousand Sons but they haven't been relavant since 3rd.

SoB getting enough of a release to mirror what Harlequins got would be nice.

Is 40k really doing that much better than Fantasy that they would go counter to everything discussed in the fantasy thread?

**Mr Morden**

I really enjoyed Shield of Baal - much more than I am the recent Codexes.......

If its as good as Shield - it has my money

Plastic Sisters would too -

the Harelquins range is looking quite extensive and so may give some hope.

**Eldarain**

The 9th fantasy rumors make more sense if they intend to gut that line to focus on expanding the range which is carrying them.

**Kosake**

What makes this believeable is the complete abscence of SoB models in the rumor

It is indeed. Sisters might get something. Might.

**Sad Panda**

I think it is worth remembering that the Bloodthirster is an End Times mini. No more End Times beyond Archaon in 2015. No more Greater Daemons in 2015.

No Sisters in 2015 either, sorry.

And no summer campaign.

As mentioned elsewhere, this summer on the 40K-side of things is mostly about the folks from Mars (but no campaign), as well as a few 1-week-releases (think Necrons). And of course, the new Fantasy kicking off Q3.

Sexy demons vs. Chaste nuns.

....yeah, there's not a porno plot in there or anything.

Tzeentch is the Chaos God of magic/trickery, etc. Their monsters look like stingrays, blobs, and birds.

You're thinking of a 12-year-old's understanding of Slaanesh combined with a 12-year-old's fantasy of the only reasonable predominantly female faction in 40k. Get well soon.
