Starting to wonder now if maybe it's just Celestine + bodyguards as a dataslate in the campaign book along with the Magos and Inquisitrix and not an actual new codex release.

Surely they would have shown battle sisters as well if they existed?

NEWS: According to Warhammer TV they are doing a Live FAQ on the Twitch stream about the new January release at 1pm GMT today.

I wont be able to be there but if someone could ask what Sisters are going to be plastic, I would be very excitebike.

It's most probably just Celestine and her girls, in the WHTV video they're saying "Celestine leading a Black Templar force against the Cadian Gate" so she's in the campaign book for sure. Obviously more may come in feb

The twitch is going to be wall ti wall questions about Sisters isn't it? Haha.

It looks like just Celestine and bodyguards this month to me too - with normal sisters Not released this month. Hope they actually give a bit more info on what is actually coming for them today

With the closer pictures from the video I quite actually like the new Celestine. Let's wait and see for the price point.

Watch, she is one of the character models from a limited edition boxed set like Eldrad.

I think we'll even see Kroot Mercenaries before the end. These all bring tears to my eyes.

Also THAT is a damn awesome looking SoB release. If the entire army looked like that everyone would want to play them. I am envious of the Celestine model super badass.

Aww why couldn't they add disc riding tzaangors to thousand sons??

Not necessarily. We saw Magnus the Red long before we saw the Rubric Marines.

I am 100% getting that Inquisitor. She looks fantastic. She shall be an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor.

Hereticus. I can clearly see a Condemnor boltgun.

Anyway, I compleatly quote the telling about Celestine and Magnus.

...And DakkaDakka goes Kaboom!

Congrats, SoB players, your faith is about to be rewarded.

Now, where are my squats?

WHAT IS THIS AND WHEN CAN I HAVE IT IN MY LIFE.

I got a feeling this is going to be an arena-like game along the lines of Gorechosen. Though, Necromunda v2 would be nice...

I'm also EXTREMELY curious about Fall of Cadia - is that a novel or the next boxed game we'll be seeing?

Not really a problem, since every "limited edition" box set with a unique character, has had said character released a short while after.

The Inquisitor looks great and even though I don't play the faction would get an updated male one and maybe the female one anyways just because it looks good.

My god the Techpriest model looks insane as well.

My hope (yeah I know, first step to disappointment and all that) is that this is just the initial tease and the rest of the plastic sisters are being released but just not leaked/teased yet. At the very least it would make sense to have a kit for the normal power armored sisters which would cover half of the codex entries.

Meh, that's details I can fix when I get her.

Not all of them. Eldrad and Artemis are still locked away for right now. It isn't a huge deal, by any means, but people would likely be pissed if they couldn't get ahold of her without having to buy a boxed set.

Typical, just been penceling out ideas for a Saint Seagull sclulpt, looks like no need to bother now!

Nice to see some traction on the Sisters at last.

Hmmm I wonder if that rumour image with the purple cloak has something to do with that Dark Eldar book...

To the almighty Emperor though, if Templars get some loving in this alongside sisters, I will go supernova.

There were rumors of a sisters vs dark eldar starter set. How much you want to bet they mistook this boardgame? I bet it will be DE vs Sisters.

Well already I can tell 2017 is going to be expensive.

It would have Vect v. Celestine in it! Maximum salt for anyone that just wants either of those characters!

So far, I am looking at only one miniature. So far. And it isn't even 2017 yet.

They will likely tie this board game into a full dark eldar release much like the Deathwatch and GSC. WOOHOOO my Dak Kin get some love.

The current bet is it might not be vect, but a new DE character Vects personal archon who I forget the name of. He is famous for stealing soul gems and then putting trapped souls into them. HE is fairly new lore wise but seems popular.

If Vect had rules even remotely like his old ones, he'd be absurdly overkill for a starter box.

Duke Sythrac. He's basically Vect's personal attack dog. He's got a sword that devours souls, too.

Just noticed the archer Tzaangors on discs, sweet, now the big question, der gonna be a Lord of Change?

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but the whole "scrolls as supports" look on jump troops annoys the hell out of me, I'm hoping they'll be easy enough to clip off. Otherwise, wow! They're all good models. Why are the "forge world exclusive" limited ed. space marines they're putting out so crap compared to this stuff?

Celestine and the Seraphims look brilliant!

Already have an almost full Sisters army and will be happy adding anything new in plastic to it.

If you medan the picture in the original posting, it looks more like a venom.

A bit damn mean to rinse people for old metals then release new plastics the following month. And double dip for Codex too. GW can't do much wrong lately but this feels disingenuous (and I'm not even a SoB player).

Yeah, you said it. I'd be annoyed if I'd bought the metal seraphim, but my faith held firm.

I think the Sisters boxed thing might be Sisters & Black Templars vs Cadian Gate (Chaos), some sort of campaign at the very least judging from the warhammer TV clip.

If it was Sisters vs DE what kits would the DE get? What are the missing? Grotesques, Beastmasters + beasts and Incubi are all I can think of atm.

That Fall of Cadia book (not sure if its a campaign book or a novel) has a Jan 7 preorder Jan 14 release which means its coming really soon. A new plastic Failbaddon should be popping up soon.

I was thinking just putting something underneath to reach the legs, I am hoping that pillar from the AoS hero bases is tall enough.

I guess this new Black Crusade won't last very long if both the Sisters and Templars are going to meet them head on, boy Abaddon, you just opened up a whole can a trouble! Even the Noise Marines will be deafened by the screaming of For the Emperor!

Special characters are really the only DE models that need a kid update, IMO. They need new rules more than they need new models.

BTW when is the release of the next WD supposed to be? Pre-orders this weekend?
