Yeah, that's just the art from the book. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a new Abaddon model, but we'd probably have seen it in the magazine leaks if it was in this White Dwarf, so it's either coming late January or February, or with the next book/a later book.

The cover of the White Dwarf seems to be Abaddon in plastic form.
It's also worth mentioning that what's in White Dwarf hasn't necessarily been everything for a month's release.
Where can this picture be seen?
There. It came out of a Spanish site and it cuts it off, but the topknot is distinctive to Abbadabbadoobadon.
Looks like the Abaddon Art work from the cover of Fall of Cadia, not a plastic figure.

My thoughts exactly. I like Ad Mech, but I don't need the whole "Yo dawg, I heard you like clamps with your cogs..." treatment.
I love it. It's exactly how I imagine an ancient Magos would look. I imagine that he started out with 2 arms and ran into a situation where his hands were full, but he wanted to pick up his mug of tea. Boom. Install a third arm. A week later, his three arms were full and he wanted tea. Boom. Install a 4th arm. This dude is OLD. He likes tea. That's why he has a hundred arms.
You can tell the age of a Magos by the number of arms? lol.
Not by the number of arms, just how badly he wants a cup of tea

Yeah, that's my bad on the statement. I was remembering it as looking more like a model than art.
In any regards, we know there's more heroes coming. They made a mention of these three being "the first of three Heroes of the Cadian Gate" or something to that effect during the livestream.
I would kill to see "Major Lord Castellan Ursukar Creed"(still don't know what in the world that is supposed to even mean!) with a bodyguard of Kasrkin and Kell as one of them.

Regardless random people posting how thier store manager garaunteed them sisters are getting a full army line in January is mostly salt. Because unless it's going on preorder the last week of January we already know most of the major next three weeks of January releases. white dwarf is the last week in decembers preorder, AoS tzetch, fall of cadia with 3 characters, dark eldar box game. Then preorders for first Saturday of February which appear in February white dwarf. Chance of plastic sisters troops at this point is unlikely unless it's coming with part 2 of the fall of cadias supplement.
Thrown into that mix is random crap like black library books, army paint sets, etc.

Apologies for jumping like that here with no relation to some of the latest posts.
Plastic Sisters? I see only Saint and 2 additional models. This does not fit into my view of "plastic sisters".
It is a bit awkward to have this and the rest old metal models for the abysmal price of 50 pounds.

To be fair that early shot we had of the cover did look like a model. A new Creed and retinue to go with Celestine and the Twins, and Abaddon would be awesome. And ya know if the Templars are there a new Helbrecht or Grimaldus would be cool too.

The I would SoB so Hard if there were plastic SoB crowd do seem to be fully capable of jumping from what they see (saint and two gemini, our resin canoness, print rules in C:IA) to what they THINK GW should do. Apparently a full plastic launch of the old units and a new dex with some new shiny's in it.
If they keep telling themselves it will happen surely it has to, right?
Dex is on paper finally, you can now purchase all the units in the army at the GW site. The unit C:IA omitted is coming in plastic in the FoCadia book. Perhaps they will put some other SoB formations in it. GW already fixed Celestians by putting the command squad in the elite slot for me anyways. Only repentia and penengines to go. So far we are in the + column and I am fine with it.
Give me some Objective Cards and GW can go back to ignoring SoB for a few more editions, would be fine by me.
A ton of armies and a terrain habit...

Pure speculation, but doesn't the existence of C:IA in print now mean that GW could drip feed plastic sisters without having to replace the entire range at once or having to release a new codex? A bit like when they replaced the finecast Dark Eldar Wracks with the plastic kit.

It would be even easier if they just made Dataslates available online like they do with AoS Warscrolls, then you could just release the rules next to the model and not have to worry about release windows.

I don't see Casval making wild predictions. If someobody is going to come on and make predcitons with no track record then we are all going to be highly sceptical and rightly so, there are too many fools like BoLS and Faet spreading rubbish in this hobby as it is.
But if you want to believe everybody that comes along and says things thats fine, I've got a long weight I can sell you.

Many posts and a long membership history on the site.
It's doesn't make his information better, it significantly reduces the chances he's created an account specifically to post made up gak in order to mess with people. People are small minded and juvenile enough to do this, and this is why one should always view new accounts with low post numbers skeptically when it comes to posting rumours.
What ever happened to Rule Number One and be polite? It's one thing reading a rumour seeing low post count and move on, but to comment on it and say "I don't believe you" is just plain rude. Why do people feel they need to call someone out on it? We already have people look like arse because they called people out on low post count and they were in fact proven correct. Heaven forbid new people come to the forums and actually have rumours and be new at the same time.
Don't believe someone? Fine. No need to call them out on it and shame them.
Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Really not sure what the comic is going for.
They're soldiers in armor. The proportions look fantastic to me.
A quick dip into Instagram will show you lots of very fit women with serious curves (enhanced and otherwise).
Is the comic author mad they aren't waifs?

It implies the Saint is... well endowed. And I think the new Seraphim are gorgeous models. And the Saint is ... godly....

You shouldn't be worried about the one bullet with your name on it, Boldric. You should be worried about the ones labelled "to whom it may concern"-from Blackadder goes Forth!

It's even when people get new Sisters' models, they find something to complain about.
I think the idea is basically that the armor makes the sisters look fat. At least compared to every other female model ever produced by GW. These sisters don't have hourglass figures like all other females by GW, they are more barrel shaped I guess?

Likely stems from the 4chan topic. The nay-sayers are attempting to save face by arguing that the models they said would never come look fat. And have been carrying on about it with impeccable maturity and sophistication.
