Does anyone know if the Canoness will be produced in "proper" resin or that dirty, cheap Finecast abomination?

Metal would be fine, but I'm sure I heard that it was going to be in resin?

Anything but Finecast, please god!

They stopped advertising their resin as Finecast a while ago. Pretty sure it's the same stuff though.

Didn't GW stop using the 'Finecast' name a while back, even with miniatures that were originally produced in the material?


Upcoming Imperial Agents Supplement @ 2016/12/07 20:14:43


Post by: Captain Joystick


I'm pretty sure GW just abandoned the 'finecast' branding. They refer to Abbadon and their other formerly metal models as 'resin' now.

Ultimately, whatever it's named, if you don't believe GW has fixed their resin process then you should be wary of this miniature.

Even if it's Finecast, newer GW resin is miles ahead of early stuff. Mostly flawless casts.

Been saying it for years. You could have two or even three groups in a set with variant weapons and themes. Puritan and radical could be used in Imperial armies, radicals could also be used with Chaos. Maybe a set of mutants (that could also be used in LATD and a piece of scenery or two qwith 6 or so missions and a good range of hobby stuff, ideas, conversions and fluff could make it a huge seller, especially if the kits allowed 'Eisenhorn famous' characters to be built

You do realsie this is a thread about the new Imperial Agents Codex which includes Sisters and the flagship model is - oh year a Sister of Battle. Pardon everyone for discussing the topic rather than just the lastest version of a slightly differnt coloured Marine.

Anyway back to the actual thread topic.

Some of the OOP models look very tempting as missing a couple of them. The Formations will be important - espeically for all those who have thus far been ignored.



Not to mention, until the leaks start to hit Firday night/Saturday morning, there was nothing else to discuss until these M2O minis were posted. For someone who just got into the game less than 10 years ago, I love the idea of M2O and I think I'm getting a couple of these.

Death Cult Assassins have been playable since they were introduced. They're part of Inquisitorial Henchmen Warbands and Ecclasiarchy Battle Conclaves. I strongly suspect they'll therefore be in Codex: Imperial Agents.

And as you point out, he shares features with the later Eversor models - they were probably modelled on him originally. So use him as that.

Me too, although I only got the one. Still one of my favourite GW models ever.



I'm a little divided on the Canoness... It's a reasonable translation of the artwork, within the bounds of GW's miniature style, but just doesn't look as good as the original art. And that's even with not being a particularly big fan of Blanche's work, for the most part... that piece was one of the few that worked, for me, and a miniature sculpted in matching proportions would have been fantastic. Wouldn't have worked with the rest of the range, but would have been a lovely miniature

While the intent of finally realizing the cover image Canonness is nice, and the effort is fair enough, $25 USD for a single (Finecast?) resin mini seems to be more than a bit excessive when the regular one is $15 and includes option bitz. Maybe I'll order that one instead. Hm.

Is it just the UK GW site, or have all the Battle sisters squads (x10) and battle sister (x3) in metal just become no longer available? Not out of stock; - no longer available..

I'm not a sisters follower, so don't often check, but thought about dabbling with a squad and sister superior with the new Imperial agents release. (Although I admit, the price for a metal squad of 10 caused an involuntary clenching...)

Be interesting to see if it's across all the GW websites.

I see the inexplicable anti-JB Brigade are out in force.

For my money it's a fine translation of an iconic bit of art, art that stands miles above the dull, samey DeviantArt digital-speedpaint rubbish GW pump out these days.

And good on GW for keeping it available, any move that cuts the legs out from under scalper-scum is welcome.

I have even more, though I converted them for my Adeptus Mechanicus some years ago. I guess they would make good Sicarians now. You can't have too much Eversors. (they're finished and painted now but I don't have pics).

I hope not. I want this to just be an "Allies Codex", where you can take a few units from different armies and that'll be it.

Of course there will be formations. Based upon what the blurb on the community website, we will probably see an Inquisitor + Sisters/GKs/DW Squad formation.

If that's the direction they go then they'd almost definitely have an over arching 'inquisition' decurion to mix and match the formations into so you coukd run the book reasonably well by itself.

The Militant arms will be the core of the detachment. Henchmen will probably be required in some form, but the Sisters, Grey Knights, and Deathwatch will serve as the troops.

The Command choice would be required (Inquisitor + optional henchmen), the Core optional but limited to 1 and the Aux would be optional but not limited. That way you'd be able to do basically anything as long as you stick with one Ordo per detachment. if you wanna bring Sisters AND Deathwatch, you'll simply have to bring both an Ordo Hereticus and an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor as their Command choices.

Then use Codex: Adepta Sororitas. Imperial Agents is being billed as a supplement, not a replacement for any codex.

That said, I'm fairly certain you'll be able to use this to have GK, SoB, or DW units wtihout having an inquisitor.

Want to play Sisters of Battle without Inquisitors then use the Sisters of Battle codex. I don't think this will replace it. Or will it and Streamdragon has a good point then.

Going to be honest, I completely forgot that was a thing since there's no physical book. Part of why I don't like digital only.

I disagree. “Any model from this unit can exchange its bolter for any of the following weapons by paying the appropriate cost :”. Now you can play a BSS with 5 melta 4 heavy flammers, or 2 multi-melta 5 heavy bolters 2 stormbolters.
I agree it's easier to keep Seraphim as a separate unit though.

I disagree. “Any model from this unit can exchange its bolter for any of the following weapons by paying the appropriate cost :”. Now you can play a BSS with 5 melta 4 heavy flammers, or 2 multi-melta 5 heavy bolters 2 stormbolters.
I agree it's easier to keep Seraphim as a separate unit though.


How would AoFs work then? Cause dominions are the best thing sisters have, don't kill them.

Cool. I'm not a huge fan of Blanche's work (I'm more often a critic in general but also of that particular cover art) but I'm glad that they're occasionally paying homage to some of the older art with resin figs. I figured the 2nd edition Blood Angel was a one off idea but it looks like he has a friend now.

They're not just "no longer available" like the traitors of chaos pack, they don't exist anymore.

They are gone worldwide. There is absolutely no reason to do this unless plastic sisters are coming. The new book will definitely create a little spike in player interest so they would miss out on sales.

Each turn, each BSS can try to pass one AoF from this list, by taking a Ld test. More flexibility. Also you can pay 1 ppm to get scout.

As a Sisters collector,I can only imagine this is finally gone because it was a mix of blisters that didn't make sense and also cost more than buying 10 battle sisters. I know I personally never bought it and have close to the 100 infantry mark of sisters. I can't imagine they were selling many of this premade unit.

Not wanting to upset anyone, but given that John Blanche is the art director for the entire setting... if you don't like his style...dosent that spoil your enjoyment of the game?


No, because as terrible as Blanche's artwork really is, he has an eye for design. He just needs to design the looks of stuff (Well, some of it. His 7th Ed. VC and Beastmen stuff was worse than what my 3 year old draws) in the studio, and then the good artists can render art for the books. Kind of like what they needed to do with Brent Blevins or Jack Kirby.

For what it's worth, there's a difference between whether or not you like someone's style, and whether or not they're a 'good' artist.

By just about any metric, John Blanche is an outstanding artist... and I'll quite happily acknowledge that while heartily disliking most of his work.




Having said that, I seem to be liking more of his stuff as I get older... Weird.

Is it just me, or did he seem to have a fetish for yellow? For whatever reason, the yellow backgrounds on his art always seems to wash out the foreground...probably just me but it just takes away from the image somehow.

I expect Sisters to get the Eldar Aspect and Necron Warriors got treated. Everything is going the way of being packaged as the minimum unit. Necron Warriors went from 5 being the minimum unit size to 10 (ok, there are 12 in the box... so bad example). Eldar Guardians went from boxes of 10 down to boxes of 5 to match their entry.
Either BSS will stay at 10 per box and go UP to 10 per unit OR they will stay at 5 per unit and come in sets of 5. Mostly, this is a plastic box philosophy, but I don't see why GW wouldn't apply it to new boxes of resin or metal either.

Didn't the hint at the end of the Magnus the Red reveal explicitly state PLASTIC Sisters of Battle? My understanding from a friend who works for GW is that the molds for plastic kits are laser cut and cost tens of thousands of dollars for each plate. Why would they go through the trouble of making a new, very expensive, mold if they weren't going to use it?

Honestly, my bet is that the plastic kit will be set up like the Tactical Squad kit. Bolters for everyone with one of each Special weapon. Probably parts to make one Sister a Sister Superior.

There may be basic sisters in boxes of 10... if they do that, the base squad size will go up to 10. If that is the case, they will have a 5 person veteran sister box with more special and heavy weapons,
Or... Sisters will have the Grey Knight treatment. One 5 person box that makes almost everything. That would need to include 2 or each special and heavy weapon.

Grey Knights are an aberration. Every other recently released plastic Troops box has been 10 man units. I'm sure a plastic SOB box will be 10 also.

I'd say they'll come in 5 woman sized boxes with maybe an 2x5 "10 sisters" box. Each box of 5 will have one of each special weapon plus a set of melee weapons, so you'll have to grab 2 boxes to make 2 usable squads. Can't let you get away with just buying one box for an allied detachment ;-)
And I really don't expect them to rerelease metal models.

I think we're getting way ahead of ourselves here.

Sisters models have dropped off on several occasions, always stirring up new rumours and wishlisting and always reappearing after a week or so, exactly like they were.

As great as a plastic battle sisters box would be (effectively covering more than half of the Sororitas infantry choices in one go) them dropping off the store has historically not represented a pending plastic apocalypse.

Will we get a plastic box of sisters with the Imperial Agents release? Signs say no.
I really wonder why. It would have been relatively easy to shuffle resources around to make a box of 5 sisters ready for release. I know that releasing this resin cast is different in terms of logistics than releasing a plastic box, but we are talking something that must have been in the planning when Roundtree took over GW. This Cannoness release really feels rushed and out of step... similarly to the new Blood Angel Character released a while ago.

Although GW said that all they said was there would not be a 'new range' of miniatures, something that can be widely interpreted if you wish.

Another thing I would like to mention is, how 'logical' would it be to release a new rulebook that includes formations or possibly the entire SOB codex....BUT there are no miniatures. Most of the tanks? Gone. Normal Sisters? Gone. Most characters/hq's/specials?Gone. Of course anything is possible, but I doubt GW would give us rules for non-existent products. Can you imagine the costumer support? "Yeah I am emailing you because I want to play formation X from the Imperial Agents book, but I cannot find the models on your website." . Or maybe I am just being dumb and it all makes perfect sense.

Post by: Kanluwen


If we're going to play Super-Analysis: Dakka Edition...

The quote is specific to this book. There will be no new range of miniatures for this book.

As in, this quote is strictly referring to Codex: Imperial Agents. Since the book seems to be similar to the "Angels of Death" book or the Grand Alliance books from AoS. It brings things into a single, unified print medium at a reasonable price rather than people having to buy a bunch of supplement books to get the stuff they want.

The things we know that won't be updated or changed? Those are things tied to physical, print codices(Deathwatch, Grey Knights, Telepathica stuff is in IG, the Enginseer is in IG) or supplements that have been published with updated rules(Assassins).

Codex: Sisters of Battle and Inquisition are both digital books, and I would not be surprised to see them get an update to the eBooks until they get to the release timeframe they want.

Context matters, but this whole thing is kind of a tempest in a teapot.

Exactly. It would have made more sense for Inquisition to receive models. But the fact Sisters didn't get models with this release does not mean they aren't getting models in the future.

"CODEX SISTER OF BATTLE: Codex Sisters of Battle will be released in Spring 2002, and is written by Gav Thorpe and Pete Haines.
The army is intended to be expanded beyond the pure Sisters list in 40K to include Martyrs, Redemptionists, Archo-flagellants etc. for more of a Crusade feel. We're also hoping to do a box of plastic Sisters."

Some of the existing metal models have poses or elements to them that won't look the same if they try to implement it in plastic. Off the top of my head, the sister with her off-hand resting on the hilt of a sheathed sword with a tassel on the end of it, or the one pulling the pin from a grenade with her teeth.

Even the bog standard battle sister, if looked at close enough, is clearly holding a bolter-shaped tumor growing out of her midsection,ita most obvious when staring down the barrel of the gun.

Again, I would love for a plastic kit, but this isn't the first time sisters models have dropped off the store. (IIRC it isn't the first time they've dropped off the store since the bin video.)

They could just as easily be transitioning Saint Celestine into finecast.

That basic Sisters, etc. are all going to Finecast?

OK, I'd believe that. $80 USD for 10 failcrap models.

Or rather, $50 USD for 5 failcrap models, because GW's gotta amortize the cost of converting the mold...

This kind of wouldn't make any sense though, GW don't drop prices outside of Start Collecting! type box sets. They've not put a metal model in a box set for years, as far as I can remember. So the SoB would be repackaged at the same ridiculously high prices only in 5 or 10 girl squads. That would mean damn near 8$ per model for ancient metal models, that no one will buy. The vast majority of people that buy SoB have all the metals they need and anyone looking to grab a squad for C:IA will be going to ebay for them; and it's possible the rules in C:IA aren't good and then no one will want 8$ metals either. Oh, and it's still GW so the character blisters would go up 5-10$ to match the others.

A rebox at this point is pretty much the same as a squatting.

Makes a certain amount of sense... Given the reluctance GW have always had over actually spending any money on the Sisters range, I can easily see them choosing to keep the existing range and just upgrade to resin rather than going for the expense of making plastic models.

It's a normal land raider, the crusader upgrade sprue and the DW upgrade sprue. Those together are significantly cheaper with that kit.

Also includes the parts to make the LRC/LRR. So for a minor upcharge, you get both the DW sprue and the extra guns/sponsons.

Sorta like getting the razorback kit instead of the rhino box. Few bucks more, lots more options.

Except for the fact the DW Land Raider contains the sprues for a normal Land Raider AND a Crusader.

£45 normal Land Raider.
£45 Crusader.
£48 DW Land Raider.

Crusader LR Sprues - £12.50

Average cost of an upgrade sprue (based of Ultras, BA, DA, SW) - £8

Going by that, if you wanted to have a Land Raider that had both Crusader AND normal weapon options plus an upgrade sprue you'd be paying £65.50.

Suddenly £48 seems really fething good.

Doesn't give me any extra models to use though. If I want crusader I get the crusader box.

Don't have particular use for the extra guns. Not good enough scratch builder to build extra hull.

Deathwatch land raider is still just one model you are pushing around. Usually I know which land raider I want when I buy the model.

Except why? If it's the same sculpts then you just pay for the development of resin molds for a product you already have in a medium that most people have a very low opinion of. If they're new sculpts, then you're deliberately spitting in the eye of the customer. 'You are the only army to be GW resin in years because we want EVERYONE to know we at GW see you as second class citizens.'

We're either going to see nothing, 1-2 reboxes for the exact price of the old metals, or we're getting new plastics. Nothing else would really make any sense.

Leaving whether or not repackaging is logical in any way. Models with 'last chance to buy' will be gone, not repackaged, so this means these models would need to be replaced in some way or another.

Exactly.

The thing that people need to note is that the resin Cannoness is more than 50% more expensive than the current metal one. Obviously, the metal Sisters are grossly underpriced at $8/model, and should be something more like $13/model...

In that context, the upgrade from expensive metal to 5 "Finecast" resin models for $50 is a tremendous savings to the Customer.

In that context it's an infinite saving for the customer...because they aren't going to buy models they already own and don't sell to anyone else anymore. Recasting the present minis in resin is just GW throwing away money.

And I mean who was really begging for Genestealer cult minis? That was a really brilliant move right? Making a fakey army that only long beards remember. If they did GSC minis in plastic then there's no excuse for doing Sisters--even if they have to make a crappy board game with them first as is their MO theses days.

This is a weird description. The immolator doesn't have resin parts:

"The Immolator battle tank is a design exclusive to the Adeptus Ministorum, based on the ubiquitous Rhino chassis. Immolators carry deadly but short-ranged twin heavy flamers, heavy bolters or multi-meltas that can cleanse the battlefield of all but the toughest of foes. Immolators are tactically versatile vehicles and the tank of choice for many Adepta Sororitas commanders, for in addition to their prodigious armaments, their armoured hulls can carry squads of Battle sisters, deploying them onto vital objectives and then supporting them with heavy weapons fire.

This multi-part plastic and resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble an Immolator, armed with a twin-linked heavy flamer, heavy bolter or multi-melta.

So disappointed. So all the rumours were wrong?


What rumours? I don't recall any rumours saying Sisters of Battle were getting a new codex or minis.

There have been many rumors (including from the likes of Atia) that Sisters are/were due plastic models and a codex in the first two months of the new year.

Yes I recall those. It's not the new year yet. There was no rumours indicating that Imperial Agent Supplement to be this, so hence why, where are those rumours to say Imperial Agents Supplement to be so.

We have a blizzard bearing down on us, so I called in my order for tomorrow.
US price for the Canoness is $25. Still limited stock, but my store will be able to order more in the future.
I also picked up a St. Celestine, as well as the book. I'm guessing that this means relatively few changes for the Sisters in the new book... which I'm actually ok with.

I think the fellow you are quoting is despairing that if this book contains the full Sisters army list, then the rumor of a new SoB stand-alone codex in the new year may be wrong. And that it would stand to follow that perhaps the same is true for the plastic models.

My faith is strong, however.

The only thing I don't get is why they did this. So first Sister units(immolator and such) disappear over the course of a couple of years, only to now suddenly return as the exact same kits/models/material, why?

Something interesting:



Only this model gets a new box with an army specific icon and title. This is exactly what we saw in the Magnus previews with "Thousand Sons" written on the box, heralding in all the new box sets less than a month later. As the old metal models and immolator don't seem to have been boxed this way, the precedent gives me hope that they are indeed clearing out inventory and will come up with a proper codex/models soon enough.

At a guess, the new CEO does not understand why they would stop selling a product that they have:

a) already developed.
b) people want to buy.

So it is another of the many reversals of course we have seen from GW of late.

Because they figured there was enough demand? GW have been on an "obscure faction" kick for a couple of years now. Given the success of the Mechanicus armies, Deathwatch and Genestealer Cults, they may have decided it was time to revisit Sisters and the other Imperial hangers-on.

And since fans of those factions are so loyal to the old imagery, why make new kits? I mean, if they'd released GC with the old models (ignore how dated they'd have looked for the purposes of this argument...) they'd probably still have been snapped up.

While the Imperium draws great advantage from the unbelievable weight of manpower it can bring to bear, the diversity of its military is its greatest strength. Many, many esoteric factions are expected to answer the call to protect humanity, from the arcane Adeptus Mechanicus, to the merciless, psychically-gifted Grey Knights and all in between. The forces of the Imperium are myriad and distinct, but all follow the Emperor’s divine will – through this common goal, they strive to ensure the continued if fraught survival of Mankind.

This 136-page full-colour Codex presents background and rules for a number of smaller Imperial factions, whose forces fight alongside other armies of the Emperor. Use the rules, datasheets, wargear and detachments included to add members of the following operatives to any army of the Imperium:

- A full army list for the Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas
- Tech-Priest Enginseers and Servitors of the Adeptus Mechanicus
- Valkyries of the Aeronautica Imperialis
- Battle Psykers and Astropaths of the Astra Telepathica
- Priests of the Adeptus Ministorum
- Kill Teams and Corvus Blackstars of the Deathwatch
- Terminator Squads and Nemesis Dreadknights of the Grey Knights
- The Legion of the Damned
- Assassins of the Officio Assassinorum
- Inquisitors of the Inquisition


My wallet is ready.

Because the models are 20 years old, everyone who wants them already has them, they're so expensive HH players cry manly tears about it and everyone who is already a fan of SoB and was hoping for new plastics will be furious until it fades into general dissappoint and they play with the exact same models they've had since 2nd Ed. It's a stupid strategy, they'll sell a bunch of immolators and a handful of squads for newness factor and then it'll be back to the same ol' same ol'

I still don't think this is the rumored Sisters release as that was rumored for Q1 2017. This seems more like an attempt to clear out old inventory before that happens. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but this would run counter to what GW has become in the last year.

My money is on a tweaked Sisters list. That is unless this has all new rules and we get the new models later as GW used to do.

Probably true. Sadly save for the new resin Canoness I've already got at least 1 of the every model in the range (to include a Ephrael Stern model) so I'm not jumping on buying more right now. I have noticed that it looks like GW brought back the old squad boxes for Sisters, though I can't figure out why they put a Canoness model in the Dominon Squad.

They didn't, it is a mistype.

Also, the squads are different than they were before. The BSS has a melta instead of a flamer and a simulacrum.

Ah, you're right. Guess they got their "models holding an icon" mixed-up.

And I didn't mean that the squads were the same, just that they're giving us boxes of models instead of only blister packs of models. I was speaking conceptionally more than strictly literal.

Apparently Sisters with a four kit release and a stand alone codex. Some sort of new starter set Sisters vs Xenos of some sort allegedly.

I think this is the release and its actually more than what I expected, I'm pleased with the new Canoness and the return of the Immolator (with a resin top hatch maybe? not sure)

Metal figs can easily be turned into ingots to be gotten rid of, and it isn't exactly good business to make a mountain of models you have to sell. GW may not be the most brilliant of companies but I'm sure they understand basic rules about unsold inventories.

Now, I just want my Sororitas tactical cards.

Except GW's ENTIRE business model is making mountains of models they have to sell and honestly they could skip straight to the ingot thong with how little long term interest there will be in these reboxes.

The rumour mongers did say Canoness for December and plastic Sisters in the new year. I'm beginning to think the Sisters vs. Xenos game might be a thing. Might need to sock away some Xmas money...

Needs a new model??? Celestine remains one of Jes' best sculpts. An absolutely stunning character model. Would I mind a new multipart plastic kit at least supervised by Jes? No, I would not mind.

But to say she needs a new model is to claim the current one is outdated or sub-par.

And she absolutely isn't.

Yeah, screw that noise. As far as I'm concerned it's the SoB codex with some SM tagalongs and a handful of cast-offs that snuck in while no one was watching.

There's more pent up demand for SoB than there was for GSC and look what happened there.

Though I will say that them being in the 8th ed starter is a bit of a stretch, unless they were the 'bad guys' for the space marines, which would be weird. No box game that wasn't vehicle of vehicle combat has ever not had SM in it and I doubt they're about to start.

It's been an emotional rollercoaster and we still have at least a couple more loops to get through. We're still waiting on leaks from people with review copies to determine if SoB get any rules updates and then we have a rumored reveal on warhammer live on wednesday that could be SoB or could be completely unrelated.

The recent nostalgia kick by GW would lead me to believe if the Sisters are in a box set (which I think is a good idea), then their adversaries will be Necrons.


Aren't there rumours about a Nurgle release? Why not a Sisters vs. Plague Zombies board game to support both?


Because Santuary 101 is extremely iconic(infamous) and fighting plague zombies is just a thing that happens.


It is? I remember the onesided battle report (and, of course, Sister Sledge) - there were better ones and the whole scenario was kinda lame and constructed in my opinion. But why not - though a 40k box set would be better for this constellation than a board game.

We've been through this before at least three times with GW claiming to release plastic Sisters and not doing it. Let's wait and see, because GW has a long record of lying to us about Sisters.

Except GW's ENTIRE business model is making mountains of models they have to sell and honestly they could skip straight to the ingot thong with how little long term interest there will be in these reboxes. Sidebar: Thr margins on these must be insane with the whole line averaging 10$ US Per model.


I was replying to a post that implied that GW was selling these off to burn up left over SoB models. Like they have been sitting around since 2004 and GW just needs to sell them before they launch plastic sisters. Barring a product launch businesses try NOT to make product that will sit on the factory floor for a few weeks before shipment let alone a decade or so. Product sitting on the factory floor costs money just sitting there.

I would agree that they probably have cast up quite a few models for this release. Does that mean they did so knowing a full plastic sisters release is just months away? Seems a bit odd, but since plastic SoB were "confirmed" I guess that you think that GW did so. I think its a bit strange that they would rehash their Sisters squads for sale, re-roll out some long lost models, re-release the Immolator along with the full Sisters Dex finally in print just a few handfuls of weeks before a "confirmed" plastic SoB full release.

Of course this "confirmed" release would most assuredly be accompanied by a new dex with new units, right? Does that sound like GW's business model? Its kind of like everything is in reverse, unless, you assume that the supposed all plastic all new dex release that was "confirmed" was never really anything more than what we see up on the NZ pre-order website.

If I'm wrong, great, I certainly don't "have a guy" inside GW. I just want my frackin SoB tactical cards.

A few formations would help though.

But to say she needs a new model is to claim the current one is outdated or sub-par.

And she absolutely isn't.


Yes, but like all the sisters models it's getting old. You can understand that if you confront it with miniatures with similar them, from GW and third parts too...

She's already pretty substantial compared to most of the other SoB models. Not to mention she's an IC, has a 2+/4++ save, and comes back to life in the highly unlikely event that she dies.

This obsession with giving her EW is utterly bizarre.

Being substantial compared to SoB models is no great feat in any possible sense, and it's cool that people can still find opponents whose armies care about 2+4++ but in modern 40k she's a solid 2 wound model(one for each life) who is handicapped by absolutely needing an honorguard(which in SoB are the underwhelming seraphim) to be able to put her impressive I7 S5 A5 into an ebemy squad.

Oh, also a 2+ armor S6+ character will stonewall her completely.

.... what are you trying to use her for? She's not a model for duelling with, she's for blowing up basic troopers, and she does that very well indeed. The Seraphim are pretty good at it too, although a dual-Melta Assault Squad might be a better throw for not much more points.

If you want a model for duelling other tough CC models ally in a Thunderwolf Lord or something and leave Celestine on the shelf.

Oh, also a 2+ armor S6+ character will stonewall her completely.


Don't charge her at one then.



Instead of giving her EW just give the Canoness her Jump Pack back. Celestine doesn't need EW and has never needed it.

How would they justify "Nagash with wings"? This isn't the almighty Lord of Undeath - it's just some woman who was so pious and good at fighting that she came back to life to keep doing those things. Unless the Emperor's beneficent resurrection comes with complimentary gigantism I don't know how she could possibly be any bigger than she is. Maybe she'll get loads more angels and cloaks and purity seals or something.

Celestine is still a great unit and tears through normal SM squads pretty well but she also dies incredibly easy to literally anything and just 'oh don't charge them then' is great advice if there was never ever a situation where a 95pt librarian with force up on his power axe in terminator armor wasn't sitting in a squad of tactical marines on an objective going 'statistics punk!' Also, seraphim look okay if you play mono sisters but are actually just worse assault marines and no one takes those either.

And don't get me started on the Canoness. THE most overcosted character in the game. Even with a jump pack, fight her against a 35pt deathwatch biker with a power maul and see how that goes. Oh, she can win with 50 points of extra wargear, how cute.

As for allying in a wolf lord, why? Why can't celestine be a big beatstick character? Why can't she get a points bump along side EW and AP2 and become something your opponent MUST deal with? Why are so many people determines to see SoB suck?

Just to be clear for those lacking a surfeit of imagination, I'm not suggesting they will literally glue wings onto the Nagash model and call it Celestine, but that there is already a clear, established form of "floaty" characters that she will likely follow.

Yeah, a new Celestine will be a ornate Sister of Battle riding atop a bunch of swirly bull gak, just like that Sigmarine model.

I will keep most of my opinion to myself otherwise I will get mod sniped, but being so negative must really make life sad.
Celestine will be in there, and most people would see this as odds of a new sculpt finally coming soon.

I do not get why people jump to the negative view of things with everything that we have had recently.

To be fair she's already a floaty model as she's levitated by that parchment that extends from her feet so it's not like being a floaty model would break from the normal for her.

It's not just normal SM squads she tears through. She's quite good at killing small clumps of Genestealers, thanks to the fact she has a 2+/4++, a Heavy Flamer, and hits first at S5 WS7. Her and five Seraphim killed three of my five Purestrains with shooting last time I played against her. I laughed when he charged me - then Celestine killed the last two Stealers and put a wound on the Patriarch with nothing in reply thanks to the 4++ save.

But hey. She can't force a Terminator to roll his 3++ so she sucks ass.

and just 'oh don't charge them then' is great advice if there was never ever a situation where a 95pt librarian with force up on his power axe in terminator armor wasn't sitting in a squad of tactical marines on an objective going 'statistics punk!'


That's every game, is it? TDA Librarians in Tactical Squads? Even if it is, fire Meltaguns at them and find something else to do with Celestine. She's Jump Infantry, has Deep Strike, has S5 CC attacks, a Heavy Flamer - find something else to do with her and the Seraphim.

Also, seraphim look okay if you play mono sisters but are actually just worse assault marines and no one takes those either.


They're a lot shootier than Assault Marines in return for being worse in CC. Their Overwatch is pretty brutal against anything that's not a dedicated CC unit. Even against some that are, if you take Hand Flamers.

And don't get me started on the Canoness. THE most overcosted character in the game.


Not quite. She could stand to be cheaper though.

Even with a jump pack, fight her against a 35pt deathwatch biker with a power maul and see how that goes. Oh, she can win with 50 points of extra wargear, how cute.


Oh yeah, she sucked even when she had the Jump Pack, but she gets access to EW and that's what you want. T3 EW. I don't know why, but you seem to think that's awesome and necessary so there it is.

As for allying in a wolf lord, why? Why can't celestine be a big beatstick character? Why can't she get a points bump along side EW and AP2 and become something your opponent MUST deal with? Why are so many people determines to see SoB suck?


You think SoB having no beatstick CC character makes them suck? Lots of Sisters players seem to think this. I don't know why. I've never understood it, since the days people were running gakky JP Canonesses with Eviscerators and trying to pretend that was "good" or even necessary in an army bristling with Meltaguns.

I don't think that at all. I couldn't care less if they suck in CC provided they have the tools to make up for that weakness. They used to, back when vehicles could be relied upon. Now, not so much. That's what I want to see fixed, or at least papered over. I'd rather they make a decent fist of that than waste time designing a boring-ass push-and-play beatstick character.

My initial reaction to this was "Empra no ples no", because I'm imagining some kind of fleur-spattered baby-carrying powerloader and ain't nobody got time for that - but I reckon it could well work with Penitengines. Make them MCs and they instantly become far more worthwhile - and if DKs are Monsters then there's no reason Pentiengines can't be too.

You can keep being angry/being a typical Sisters player all you like, but it's never going to make Codex: Imperial Agents into Codex: Sisters of Battle.

I mean, it has all the Inquisition stuff in it from Codex: Inquisition, but it's not Codex: Inquisition. It has everything from Codex: Legion of the Damned... but it's not Codex: Legion of the Damned.
