Some more good news - I was talking to a store manager and he said the Sisters sold very very very well - much better than expected - even outselling Marines

Hope this is true. I mean, it seemed like the Internet was pretty enthusiastic about it? I even saw people on /tg/ saying that they wouldn't pirate it, which was pleasantly surprising.

Perhaps somebody should ask the digital editions facebook about how they sold? Don't know if they'd answer. though.

It was at shortly #6 on iBooks under topsellers.

That's pretty hilarious. And it is in english. lol

Good to know!

We should be getting that physical release, then. Anyone know how long it normally takes for a supplement to get a physcial release? A couple of months, right?

Day 1 though they scan beggers came out of the woodwork on /tg/ though which severely disappointed me.

Yeah, I regret saying that I was able to get it down to a 15 page PDF. I must have gotten a dozen or so PMs asking for it.

I kept telling them to just spend their own damn money instead of trying to take mine.

Yeah, I mean, I have a copy atm for reference, but I didn't ask anyone for it and won't 'use' (play any games with) it until I've got a legitimate copy.

And as soon as my bank balance isn't quite so crippled, I'll be buying it.
Just a pain in the ass that I was waiting / had a bit put by for it, then a whole ton of stuff came together and went 'HA, screw your bank balance!', but such is life, and bills are more important.

Yeah, I had to stop going there for a while. But it is /tg/, all 40K stuff gets pirated over there. Though this is the only occasion I saw some people saying that they wouldn't pirate it, which was something.

I'm willing to bet some of the ones who claimed they wouldn't still did. I was disappoint.

I was tempted to buy the digital edition, but I have some reserve about it. Specifically, I couldn't get a reliable answer about if I could transfer it between my phone and computer, because I'd rather read it on my computer (bigger monitor) and have it on my phone for reference in a pinch.

If they put out a physical book, I'll probably grab that instead unless I feel like risking the $30 and end up with a book on my phone that I have to strain my eyes even more to stare at, or worse have to get some terrible reader and have it be an eye sore.

If you buy the .epub or .mobi (not the iTunes) than you can freely transfer it between phone, computer and any other digital devices you want according to their license.

I, for example, read it on my computer freely and can transfer it to my phone whenever I want.

If I remember the agreement, black library gives permission to download the ebook version an unlimited number of times on an unlimited number of devices, as long as it's for your own use.

I thought that was downright magnanimous considering how draconian security has become on digital products these days.

I asked on the Digital facebook page:

Is there any news on a FAQ for the Adepta Sororitas Codex - A few issues have arrisen about the Condemnor Boltgun and also that there is technically not a line on the Ally matrix to allow you to use Sororitas with other armies. thanks

got the reply

Hi Charles, Yes, we have some rules questions passed on to the rules team, so we have an FAQ on the way.

so followed up with:

thanks good to know I have heard that the AS Codex sold amazingly well - can you give us any idea of how well it did?

Unless they price them more reasonably I'll never buy a GW ebook, despite the relatively (for the industry) good drm/what a licence gets you stance.

I will also happily pirate the ebook if they don't come out with a physical copy in. Reasonable time and for a reasonable price. Their normal prices are within the zone of "reasonable" for sisters, given what they are, but I'm not a fanof that price point.

Seriously?

It costs what it costs. Applying your own 'reasonable' tag just makes you look like an immature thief. Get over yourself.

See, this is the part I was curious about. I was rather doubtful of how the drm and such went. If I can have it on both my phone and my computer without paying twice, I'm fine with it. But if I have to shuffle around one copy between them, than I'm not biting.

However, in the spirit of the thread, I'm thinking of running some Retributors with Heavy Flamers in an Immolator behind a pair of Exorcists acting as line backers. Thinking of using that front armor 13 to block for the squishier box in order to disgorge those rending Heavy Flamers somewhere good. Thoughts? I know Exorcists are typically used as 48" artillery pieces, but seeing as how they can take more hits than the other boxes, figured it might be worth a shot.

Use FW Repressors instead. Cheaper and better than wasting Exorcists.

I have her in my army already! I'm still writing up custom special rules, but she plays as a Crusader.



Lady Knight Crusader Jeanee Romee

(Bonus points to the person who knows who that is... WITHOUT GOOGLE)

If you're going to take an ADL why not put the 5 Heavy Bolter/Canoness HQ behind it so she can use her BS5 on the interceptor/skyfire gun?

While I thought of that after I posted it, I suppose the question works if you can't use the Repressor due to restrictions.

Since we're posting pictures of our stuff, I got these two little numbers off eBay recently:



And yes, that is a real old school banner. Surprisingly it's also a sticker.

Ok, for now, the basic weapons are complete:

I'll be putting them on Shapeways in the next day or two, and will start pricing up what I need for a Kickstarter (actual info on that will go in a new thread).

But for now, feedback is appreciated.

@Zion
Oooh, Argent Shroud banner bearer. Very nice. Be sure to post pics once she's painted up.

@Ovion
Small nitpick, but I did notice earlier that one of your bolters had the Inquisition's symbol on it. An I with lines going through it. The Sisters wouldn't have that on their guns, since they're not Inquisitorial troops.

Looking very nice otherwise!

Ah, I'm still semi-new to the Imperial side of things, and there's tons of crossed I's all over sisters, aswell as on the Condemnor reference I used, which is why I chose the Inquisitorial seal.
But a little extra research now tells me it's the symbol of the Adeptus Ministorum, which uses a plain I, an I with a skull, a single crossed line, or a circle with points around it.
I'll go rectify that now.

- Now fixed and updated in the renders above.

I'm quite happy with how these turned out, and I think the 'neutral' names are pretty sound.
I did up the Plasma and Grav options, partially because I wanted to and partially because someone might actually want those options for something.

They're looking great mate. Some possible extras might be melta/flamer body for making heavies/twin links, or small icons of fleurs, roses, =][= etc.

Oh my yes, an iconography pack would be tits.
