Alright so pretty much everyone who is interested in sisters is aware of the "one ice" rumors circling around a month or two ago that went something like this: Sororitas Rundown:
– R&D on the entire line is complete, and the range is all new in plastic.
– 5-model combo-unit Sisters infantry kit
– 3 model Sisters unit on 50mm bases kit
– 5 model Sisters unit on 32mm bases kit (different from the infantry unit listed above)
– Sororitas combo unit vehicle kit “A” kit
– Sororitas combo unit vehicle kit “B” kit
– Sororitas Walker/Monstrous Creature vehicle kit
– 3 clampack Sororitas characters

So let's assume for a second that this is totally accurate. What do you think each of these units would be? Pick any or all of them and design a Sisters unit around it.

For the 3 model larger base I'm thinking bikes. Sororitas bike unit who, instead of the 'choppers' all the other army's have, the sisters get robocop 2014 style crotch rockets. Twin linked bolters upgradable to Dual meltas for 20-25 points. Hit and run, Scout, Skilled Rider. The riding sisters can take bolters, meltas, or eviscerators(mostly to be funny.) Act of Faith would be something along the lines of 'The Emperor Guides us!' Usable in the enemy players shooting phase when an attack is declared, the sisters jink save ignores the 'ignores cover special rule' and sisters can fire at unmodified balistics skill in the following shooting phase. (Yes that's a pretty strong AOF, but with all the counterplay available and the one and done nature of AOFs I feel they should be far stronger than they are. I would give the retributor one 4+ rending with armourbane on sixes). The idea being that their faith in the emperor allows them to dodge otherwise deadly threats before they even happen. No idea on total points cost but not too much different than ravenwing black knights.

I struggle to make up something plausible with my speculation because the scenario presented is so extremely unlikely to begin with.

A DE-esque remake is what SoB need, but they are probably not going to get it.

I'll believe the rumors when I have the kit on my desk and open.

I really hate to be the @$$ hole who pees on every body's parade. but that particular on ice rumor has ben out since early march.

Rumors are for most part inaccurate conjecture if they predict something to happen past 3 or 4 months in the future. we're on the tail end of that limit.

but to answer the OP I'd guess that the 32mm bases could be either terminator-esque unit or maybe a bigger better seraphim unit
