Would have loved to get seraphim in wave 2, because I'll start with an angelic detachment led by Celestine, so I have a little allied sororitas force for the other imperial detachments and can then build up the troops in leisure. So I'm really hoping the flygirls will arrive soon and not in a few weeks.

Just couple issues with that. A) finecast b) zero options c) web store item so either i pay postage that's like 50% price hike and 2 week delivery or no postage but delivery even longer(extreme case: necron cryptek i ordered last may arrived last friday...).

I have it in order. But if plastic one would have been announced here i would likelv have got that faster...still could

Works out pretty well if you have the one from the starter set to complete a trio.

sadly pnny engines are pretty bleh compared to the mortifacers

Dunno. Cheaper and more punch in h2h plus more resilient. Good for waiting for enemy to engage you, 3 point something and get counter charged. Extra speed wasted in this role.

I'm going to have all Sisters with one exception: Inquisitor Coteaz, he's a beast and adds a couple of really good powers.

For me thematically I could see the Sisters recruiting an Inquisitor whenever they need to go and "cleanse" a world of corruption and xenos taint.

Grayfax fit's the all-female theme and her rules aren't bad either. Good against psyker-heavy armies.

Inquisitors have a heavy involvement with the sisters historically, although the inquisition order about the sisters rather than the sisters hiring an inquisitor.

No but the point was if someone deliberately doesn't want to take some of the options available to conform to a limited theme, people then can't complain about having reduced options.

Thematically doesn't fit. Guy who speaks with authority of emperor doesn't get hired. He'll rather requests forces and expects to be served and though coteaz isn't ordo hereticus getting sob support isn't beond him.

So pairing works but who initiates connection is likely opposite. Mind you if they happen to be on same planet and sob asked inquisitor might agree to work together if cause is right.

And any ordo hereticus inquisitor benefits from sob being armed forces of ordo

I just like the idea of an Inquisitor in my force regardless of how he (or she) got there in the first place.

Maybe not thematically that way but I'm sure I can spin up some backstory for why a lone male is doing the whim of 100's of Sisters with bolt guns and other guns, not to mention getting "the look" from those some women all at the same time.

So sue me if I'm getting creative.

Why he needs to be taking orders? Why not have him, or her for that matter since inquisitors can be either gender?

It's entirely plausible that a Canoness might have worked with/for an Inquisitor in the past and know how to contact him to ask for assistance. And Inquisitors are not all bombastic donkey-caves who just march in and start barking orders. An Inquisitor of the Amalathian Principles might be quite content to serve as an advisor to a Canoness. He might technically 'outrank' her, but she's an experienced battlefield commander and he isn't, so it's entirely sensible for him to defer to her on strictly military matters.

Except that wasn't actually the point. The point was that GW missed a real opportunity to introduce a second generic Sisters command choice, which is something many Sisters players had been hoping for. And then several people decided to misconstrue the point to make it look like other people were complaining for no reason.

Yes, because they didn't want to take missionaries or special HQ's since they don't conform with their theme, so wanted a secondary sister based HQ. I don't disagree it would be a nice addition, however when releasing a full army in plastic from scratch, extra new units isn't a priority. I do wish there was a generic character on pulpit though, that would have been cool.

I'd imagine the generic HQ is going to be in the last week, not sure why, just a gut feeling.

Using the “stained glass helmet” (cf my avatar) on a canoness, yay or nay?
I mean, I think I need to find people willing to exchange this against other bits, I wanna put some everywhere now!

It's also dawning on me that I think I prefer the old immolator, does that make me odd?

Should work. I might put it on a Repentia Mistress.

--

Also, why are people are so gung ho about putting heavy bolters on Mortifiers? It is mainly a close combat unit (and fast one too, so it can actually get to combat) and it can fire its heavy flamers as pistols! Sounds rather handy to me.

So flagelants 30 pound(devastators, exorcist 60 aka land raider and hospitalier 22.5e like scout bikes. Don't recall others as those were my 3 primary concerns(hospitalier as imagifier likely same price).

Expected prices

I’d be happy to have more generic HQ options in case I don’t feel like taking Celestine one day, that’s very much a recurring issue for many armies at the moment, particularly Custodes and despite the fact that they’ve tried clumsily to fix it a few times, AdMech.

But as far as theming goes? A priest attached to a convent is entirely in theme for said convent. Not only is it a case of conforming to a limited theme, it’s taking an already very tightly defined theme then chipping a little more off it then complaining your theme is too thin.

Nice to see there's a head that recalls the original ecstatic organ player in the Exorcist kit.

It's the one that seems a bit off compared to the rest, a predator is £37.50 for what is nigh on the same size and you'd assume close to the same volume of plastic. £42.50 - 45 feels like the price point it should be at.

Prices in USD, going off brackets:
Exorcist--$80
Penitent Engines--$60
Flagellants--$50
Junith--$45
Hospitaller--$35.

Hospitaller's at a weird pricepoint that covers $35 to $37.50(which is mostly older stuff like the Shokk Attack Gun Mek and Finecast Nurgle Daemon Prince).

You have to remember gw doesn't do yearly price hikes anymore. Instead they up price of new kits. If predator would be released now it would be this ballmark and land raider(which is what this costs) would cost even more.

But they actually did a general price hike this past summer.

Yes. First in how many years. Before this policy they did price hike to pretty much everything every year. Matter of taste which system you prefer

Ordered mine on Saturday when it all first dropped (was expecting them to sell out like every other time, what a pleasant surprise), so that's the dice, cards, Katherine, three retributor boxes and six battle sister boxes. I've been setting aside the money for years now so it's fine, but I still balked at the number,

By my reconning that'll be enough heavy bolters for three retributor squads, three battle sister squads with double storms, and enough bog standard bolter babes to inflate squad sizes and protect more specialist sisters.

I agree it would be nice to have a palatine or other generic sister HQ to allow more flexibility in detachments but between a battalion and one of the 1cp detachment you can field a Sororitas exclusive list at any point value. Fluff wize any canoness you field that isn't your warlord is probably a palatine technically right?

As far as the missionaries go, you could always run them as members of the Orders Pronatus or Sabine and have their lack of order benefit represent the non-combat nature of their order. I get that it's not doctrinally pure necessarily, but in regards to fluff and gameplay you can have your cake and eat it too.

I'm personally leaning towards a force with heavy bolter retributors, exorcists and repentia in transports, each accompanied by a canoness, and backed up by some manner of Hereticus inquisitor or kitbashed Kamarazov.

If I'm gonna use one of the named characters from the store right now for a generic canoness it wouldn't be Veridiyan, but rather Novena. A massively superior sculpt, and also plastic.

Okay there's just no way I'm paying that much for the Hospitaller. That's ridiculous, I could buy an entire second Junith for almost the same price.

I must have fallen out of the loop when it comes to pricing of individual characters. I'd MAYBE pay that much for the Canoness, but not for the supporting characters. I already have four of the original Hospitaller and was only going to get the new sculpt for the novelty value.

I guarantee this new SOB line will be like the GSC models - bandwagon buyers will be ebaying the models for half the price or less a few months from now (they're already doing it with the starter set models) - I think I'll wait until then for the Hosps.

I definitely won't be using that head. In two weeks time I'm going to be swimming in all the new style heads and helmets for the Battle Sisters, since I only ever use the classic bobcut style.

The Hospitaller isn't on a 32mm base like the Canoness. She's sitting on a 40 or 50mm base, thanks to the scenic setup...Junith seems to be on the same.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Canoness and the others clock in at $25 or $30 though. They look to be smaller bases.

It's good as a slot filler for Valorous Heart Brigades due to dialogus being useless in multiples and the imagifier being 10pts more expensive. Helps melta rets and characters stick around longer.

What are the price brackets in euros?

buying the exorcists I need's gonna def set the ole wallet back I was hoping they'd be cheaper, but I expected these prices TBH.

what I'm REALLY curious about is the cost of the SOB Rhino. if they jack it up too much higher then the standard rhino people just won't bother

Those are some high prices £50 for the exocist. I think it is me on the end of the gun with prices like that. Others seem OK.

Exorcist seems £10 overpriced at the very least. £50 sounds really steep for what generally is seem as a bolt-on part of a rhino. Then again perhaps there's far more bulk and features to it that the real kit will make far more apparent and worth that high price tag.

Of course in contrast the Penitent engines are really quite good value. Perhaps GW is doing some crafty pricing and upping one model so they can lower another whilst drawing similar profits from sales from the range as a whole.

Penny engines are remarkably reasonable price - I was expecting about that price for one tbh!

Is anyone else worried about the lack of multipose they may have though?

Every pic I've seen of them seems to have the exact same leg pose - only difference being left/right swap
and the arms look like they may be the same too...

e.g. compare the legs here:

my guess is that the legs will be designed, like some of the other walker kits, so that you can glue them on eaither side and then add a cover.

That Exorcist is expensive...

The exorcist shoulda been like 65 bucks, GW prices are closing the gap with forge world.

40 bucks? the Marine Rhino isn't even 40 buck. I'm not arguing the exorcist isn't kinda pricey. but expecting it to be cheaper then the old rhino kit is well...yeah

It’s expensive, and it is basically just a different top to a Rhino - but the Rhino it’s bolted on to is a whole new one (Deimos pattern instead of Mars pattern). It doesn’t use the existing Rhino parts at all.

But yeah. £40 would have been a lot more palatable.

Thanks to mandatory $15/hour min. wage in lots of states in the US more people should be able to afford Exorcists.

I remember $15 rhino's in the 90's but then again min. wage was like 4.25/hour so I'd say at least in the US the wage increase over the years for the average person still outpaces GW's price increases.

But yeah, plastic crack is expensive and it'll never get cheaper unfortunately.

Ah. Ahahahahah. AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You all think those prices are steep?

A Squad of the new sisters costs 円8300 here. That's less than 2 pounds shy of 60 quid. For 10 miniatures. Utterly unjustifiable, especially when you can - in the same store, or if not, neighborhood, walk a few meters and grab a HUGE mastergrade gundam for less.

I've got no clue what game GW are playing out here, but it's so eye-wateringly daft that I'm really tempted to contact their customer services, just to check - like, is this intentional? Are they running off an out-dated currency converter? Bonkers. I was hoping I might get to pick up some sisters, the heavy weapons box and maybe a cannoness and a sister superior with this release as a treat sometime, but holy gak, are these prices so beyond worth it. Never mind the big shiny things coming out next week. Mental.

Conversions, conversions, conversions. Sisters is going to be one of the easiest armies to convert Canonesses, Hospitaliers and Imagifers and Dialogus, because you can start with any base Sister (preferably a squad leader, but there's room for others) and a bit of blinging up. Extra Simacrulum bearer arms become Imagifers.

GW character prices are mental and I encourage everyone to convert whenever and however they can.

why not just buy them separately on ebay or facebook? or is it just so you have something to complain about?

Also, I'm glad I own four exorcists already. I knew the new plastic one was going to be way to expensive when I saw it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was webstore exclusive as well so you can't get them cheaper on third party sites.

Not at all surprised by the cost on the Exorcist. Looks like there's a couple Rhinos worth of bits on it after all.

Maybe just for giggles GW will price the tardy Canoness at like £40

They know everyone will have already committed to buying up the rest of their armies, therefore they NEED the Canoness.

I should stop giving them ideas I guess...

Bad model to do it with. The metal canoness is still a very good sculpt, comes with most available equipment options, and can be gotten for about 20USD (for now). Imagifier would be better.

maybe but keep in mind if we complain but buy a full sisters army anyway...

truthfully re the exorcistonist I suspect once we see the sprue it'll at least make it make a bit more sense. I mean there's a LOT of build up on the top. this isn't say.. A predator with a flur de lys where it'd be a rhino with a ssimple turrent, there's a lot built on up top

That's what admech players said and yet the skorpius is only two sprues and probably about as challenging a design as the leman Russ, aka an armored brick.

ohh yeah I fully expect part of it is just rising prices. what I'm curious about is the sisters of battle rhino. there's no way they'll be able to charge those kind of prices for it. anything more then 50 USDs is apt to result in people just using the Marine Rhino

There's plenty a model that I've been confused on the price until I saw it in real life or saw it compared to multiple others outside of GW marketing photos (which tend to be either solos which don't often show comparative size all that well or very busy army shots).

The Feral Lizardman dino on Forgeworld looked to be very overly priced until I saw it next to regular models and realised just how massive it was. Sure FW has one scale photo to show, but that hardly shows off the real difference all that well(

Don't try to justify GW prices...

The Dread is a beautiful model, and massive.....

But my baby isn't worth what they're asking. Doubly so if it's just to HAVE on the shelf. As a gaming piece, they make her almost unweildly by making her share a base with the Khorne Dragon.

on another note, finished my inital squad, here's pics!

So here's something petty which has been bothering me: why do the new Immolator and Exorcist have tread boards, when there is no handrail along the top of the hull for hangers on to... hang on to?

Note that this greivous error is carried over from the Forge World Deimos hulled vehicles, which didn't copy over the handrail from the original Rhino kit.

Same reason Forge World left it off: it’s too fragile in either plastic or resin to be workable. And they don’t do pre-shaped brass rod.

Honestly I just looked at that thing and thought.... that's going to be EXPENSIVE. I was not surprised.

Yeah, but those have supports every cm minimum. The Rhino rails had a relatively huge expanse of unsupported rail right above the door. I suppose they could redesign them to add more supports but it would look just as wrong as them being missing. Plus they apparently used all the sprue space already…

i really, really want to buy multiple copies of all of these sets and just go on a kitbashing rampage (but who can afford that?). There are so many cool things on each sprue. I bet we'll see some amazing conversions over the next year.

Of all the things to miss...

I never ever tried to put on the hand rail on my Rhinos. As for why put on the step, because it's a handy thing for getting into high-clearance vehicles.

Just out of interest, has anybody uploaded photos of the instruction books for the Battle Sister and Retributor boxes?

But bear in mind, I could be very well able to get minis cheaper by by having an Australian friend buy them for me and then shipping internationally.

Somehow, US prices have outstripped the infamously overpriced Australian prices!

Seems impossible - where/on what items has this happened?

Kind of sad to see that Rhino upgrade sprue. It's been know for a while, of course, but I still think the old Sisters Rhino top was one of the best vehicle mods GW ever came up with because it was just a small alteration but gave the Sisters Rhino its characteristic look. I thought it was so great I even put one on my Vindicator back in 4th ed.

I said it before, but it's a shame that that's gone.

And how are you going to have ghetto sistas if they can't even hang from the side of a moving tank?

You know what's off about the absence of those rails? What's off is that GW passed up an opportunity to make ornate handrails that tie in with the swirly decorations on the tanks. And the thing is, they could even do that. GW already makes weapon hafts like that and it's not something that would be too difficult to implement. They have the technology and skill.

Evidence? For example triumph is 110 in us, 180 in australia and 215 in new zealand.

Would be nice to hear what product is cheaper in US than australia.

truthfully re the exorcistonist I suspect once we see the sprue it'll at least make it make a bit more sense. I mean there's a LOT of build up on the top. this isn't say.. A predator with a flur de lys where it'd be a rhino with a ssimple turrent, there's a lot built on up top

That's what admech players said and yet the skorpius is only two sprues and probably about as challenging a design as the leman Russ, aka an armored brick.

I'd bet it's two sprues. GW is of the mindset that tanks are $70 now as far as I can tell, especially since the rest are creeping up that way like the Russ. Not happy about it but that's what they're doing

the exorcist is $80usd

For those that can't wait to look at them, models are up on the NZ site.

Damien 1427 look like a cosplay more than the actual character.

So... there's only one Penitent Engine miniature.

What I mean by that is that the sprue only has one Penitent Engine on it. It's not a sprue that makes two. It's three small sprues that make one, and you get that twice.

I'm very surprised by that.

And it still boggles my mind that there isn't a generic Canoness option for the flying pulpit.

Do all Hospitalier's have to come on a 50mm base, or is it just a scenic thing GW has done for this one miniature?

At the time that I had done it (last November), I bought a Stormsurge for a friend in Australia while on vacation and saved 15 usd. Though it looks like exchange rates have normalized to about the same price now due to shifts in currency valuation for that particular item.

£35 for the pair is cheaper than I was expecting, for a given meaning of ‘cheap’.

No space on that tiny sprue for a robed engine pilot.

And no crucifix pose.

Just come here to say quickly that the Sisters dice are AMAZING

Pictures don't do them justice. I didn't preorder the dice last week, but they had one set at my local store and I just had to buy them. The centre of each dice is translucent, so holding them up to the light makes them look like pale blue stained glass! :O

Okay, they still effectively cost £1 per individual dice, but still. I like 'em

Well, we know the route they took with defetishising repentia wasn’t as “tattered robes” as some were hoping.

Personally I’d have shot for dressing them up as I might imagine casual clothing for ecclesiarchy staff to look, then adding battle damage and manic berserker elements from there.

*stares at the 80 dollar exorcist*....

yeah, pass. I knew all the extra bits and details would increase it, but i didn't guess that high. Still no fan of that hospitaller base, but it's what you get now, so...

huh. if Junith's kit could also be a generic Canoness with ride she'd be a comparative steal... but I've gone on about that far to long. guess the next thing to look for is the FAQ and the immolator...

 posermcbogus wrote:

A Squad of the new sisters costs 円8300 here. That's less than 2 pounds shy of 60 quid. For 10 miniatures. Utterly unjustifiable, especially when you can - in the same store, or if not, neighborhood, walk a few meters and grab a HUGE mastergrade gundam for less.

I've got no clue what game GW are playing out here, but it's so eye-wateringly daft that I'm really tempted to contact their customer services, just to check - like, is this intentional? Are they running off an out-dated currency converter? Bonkers. I was hoping I might get to pick up some sisters, the heavy weapons box and maybe a cannoness and a sister superior with this release as a treat sometime, but holy gak, are these prices so beyond worth it. Never mind the big shiny things coming out next week. Mental.

Because people will buy it and then justify it later. That's really all there is too it. GW know that for every three customers who walk away due to the pricing, there will be a whale who buys multiple of every new """GLOORRIIOOUUSSS""" kit and lets it gather dust. They just gotta... g-gotta... CONSOOOOOM!

"B-B-BUT THEY'RE A BUSINESS!" shilling put aside for one minute, what I don't get is GW's long-term strategy here. I don't mean in "They'll raise them so high people will stop buying them" because evidentally that's not going to happen. What I mean is that they've always pushed at trying to get the Lil Timmies addicted to plastic crack. That made sense when they're getting weekly pocket money enough to afford a blister pack, or save up for a few weeks to get a £15 Tactical Squad. That's presumably not feasible anymore unless their parents have a decent amount of money to spend on their toys. The only thing I can really guess is they're hoping to make it a generational thing, with all those neckbeards who manage to have a kid awkwardly trying to get their child interested in the game, who 'subsidise' their kid's hobby budget or something?

Wage inflation sure hasn't more than doubled from when I was a kid able to pick up 20 Cadians for £15 every month, or 10 marines for the same.

it's also possiable that GW's aiming at an older crowd now. Kids are more likely to play video games etc I imagine. Most gamers I see seem to be in the 20-30 age range.

old eneugh to have a jiob and money, young eneugh to not have a family sucking up all their discreitionary income

Given enough fan feedback, I could totally see GW releasing an upgrade sprue to go along with Junith to run it as a generic canoness. Just give it a different rider, even one as simple as the Battle Box canoness (who I imagine will be released in a start collecting eventually), and maybe an alternate gun at the bottom. Something like what they did for Canis Rex

may as well assume upgrade sprue for such a thing.

im just amazed at the price disparity between junith and a Hospitaller. for a centerpiece, junith is a little surprising.

I'm just never getting her.

Been assembling like maniac(think 13 hours...). Loving the kits except monopose shows with banners and superiors. Extra pair of arms would have been nice there.

Less noticable on bolter and special weapons at least

At that price, my idea of using that pulpit for a conversion is a lot more palatable.

The latest batch of Sororitas models are on the GW site now. they were not there this morning so I am calling it news.

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/This-weeks-Adepta-Soroitas-pre-orders-2-2020

I am still not overly impressed with the faction, I need to see more.
The fluff however goes deeper.


Its official. The Adepta Sororitas now have 'pin-ups'.
I thought Penitent Engines were bad, what they do to wayward sisters would make a Word Bearer baulk; well, maybe not, but you get the idea that they are really close to the line even for Grimdark.

Her name is Celestine, but I'm sure you mean a generic one we haven't had since they replaced the Witch Hunter codex with the WD Codex.

Yeah, that's why I said "again", cause it was frustrating that jump packs were removed from our generic HQs back then and it's still frustrating we don't have them. Especially now that we have a second, assault-oriented jump pack unit to use.

Sistsers are in a good place right now but... yeah if GW came out hired me and told me I needed to plan a 9th edition sisters 'dex and new units to go with them I'd have no shortage of ideas

So not really looked much yet but does the Battle sisters box also only get the parts for 1 sister superior?

Yep. Though with bit creativity and use of combi weapons you can get by that. Retributor box ls particulary uselul giving power mauls and more combi weapons neither which retributors really want.

tneva82 wrote:

arg, you where sooo close GW :(

I've only managed to assemble a partially-converted Triumph plus one squad of Retributors and two further Multi Melta Sisters so far.

I based each of the Triumph's characters separately, plus switched the St. Kat skeleton parts out for a more serene looking human appearance. There's no way I can fully assemble even the central part of that model though, since that will make painting impossible.

Random tip: It's really simple to cut away the hood of the Triumph's St Lucia model to reveal her full face, as a slight conversion. All you then have to do is round out the remaining hood behind her head witth a tiny bit of green stuff.


Only weird thing I noticed with the Retributor set is the lack of a power sword. I had to steal one from one of my Battle Sisters squad boxes.

And yikes, by the end of this fun it looks like I'm going to be left with about 60 Sister helmet heads. Each box comes with so many of them on each sprue :O

I’m also reasonably sure there’s no flame or melta pistol in the box? So I’ll need to pinch some from my zephyrim down the line I guess.

As a bloody rose player I was going to give a celestian superior a hand flamer and power maul, plus stormbolters as her units cheap specials, thus creating a semifunctuonal assault unit to chill with my cannoness.

Another random tip: If you get bored with the Retributor Superior having limited right arms, note that parts 69 and 126 (outstretched grenade arm and unarmed pointing arm, respectively) from the Battle Sisters box can be used as further options. The pointing arm needs a bit of wrangling and green stuff at the shoulder joint to work, but the grenade arm fits pretty well without having to cover up any gaps.

we need HQs more then we need fast attack choices.

Hmmm, the chainsword from Battle sister box is completely blank. While the Retributor one at least have a Fleur de lis. Really? Even the GSC chainsword have some rivet and line on their blank chainsword.

Even if they intentionally leave it blank so you can use the transfer sheet text on it, there're still plenty of space left for more detail, maybe a Fleur de lis like he retributor one.

I painted the casing gold and gave it a wash of reikland fleshshade gloss, it looks pretty nice even without extra decorations

It would.

But I wouldn't be surprised at all if our next Codex has a HQ choice for a generic Canoness in the pulpit. No upgrade sprue needed. It would be an easy profile to right, and it would let them sell that kit to tons of players who didn't buy it the first time.

From the given fluff they clearly envision battle pulpits less as “something the adepta sororitas does” and more as “something this particular lunatic did after preaching during a battle instead of doing something helpful”.

What about adding the tiny purity seal accessory parts to it? Those are nice.

So retributors are a giant pain to assemble compared to battle Sisters. They have more parts per model(obviously) but they also have WAY more mold line that need to be cleaned because they're very visible.

No sister preorders next week. Where's that generic HQ for sisters?

Bit surprised they're breaking up the releases, they must have assumed peoples wallets can't handle the whole range at once.

They're not military - they're a religious punishment. There's a fluff article here - Adepta Sororitas Lore: The Penitent Hosts.

The "pilots" of Pentient Engines are criminals, actually. They're being forced (by drugs and the machine spirit itself) to drive themselves to slaughter their former partners in crime/heresy by the devices.

Mortifactors are similar but for failed Sisters who cannot redeem themselves.

The whole point of Penitent Engine pilots is that they are supposed to die. Its capital punishment.

And well if they manage to take out a few baddies on the way out well that good too.

Now the actual cost/benefit analysis of creating the suicide machine does seem absurd. But well everything in the Imperium is absurd.

It's a fair assumption. Not many people can buy a full 2k pt army in one go. I reckon we'll see the next wave after January pay day.

That and GW wants to keep some focus on their other lines. A full 1 month of Sisters would not only likely overload one market group but leave others frustrated. Don't forget those new chaos models are all for Slaves to Darkness which was released before Christmas as well.

A few weeks won't hurt and will let sisters fans build, paint and restore funds ready for a fresh wave.

Maybe GW delayed the next preorders because they needed to call an emergency meeting to discuss how few orders were received for the Exorcist and Hospitaller. Perhaps they were about to preview the Rhino and Immolator at £50 each and suddenly came to their senses, so need an extra week or two to adjust their price point analysis

Please note that Dark Sphere has Exoricists up for preorder for only £37.50 each

Would be fair but would also be fair to have core of army before break. You know so that people can play with what they have got...As it is this release pattern seems directed to the guys with 3k+ existing models rather than new players.

Uuh this was decided months ago. GW doesn't do changes in week time. Would physically be impossible with goods going toward stores etc.

Well that is bloody annoying.

I'm going to try to convert Battle Sister C from the regular squad box into the kneeling/praying sister from last year's box/codex

It looks very possible given the leg options/joints on C. Plus Battle Sister A even has the right arm slung Bolter

Only issue will be the lower robe.

I am a bit relieved that my wallet is given a moment's reprieve from the constant assault of the God Emperor's new plastic vassals.

GW may have figured that we don't need the cannoness as bad due to cannoness Virydia being a thing.and in fact that it might boost sales of that mini if they delay the release of the plastic one.

Also character models are always expensive, GW proably figures if we go all in and get all our units then whatever the cost of the cannoness... we'll buy it

Seeing these aren't limited edition releases you need to buy on day of release or they sell out reprieve you get whenver you want.

Would be fair but would also be fair to have core of army before break. You know so that people can play with what they have got...As it is this release pattern seems directed to the guys with 3k+ existing models rather than new players.

Honestly, it seems like this release pattern is the opposite. They know that the army box sold well. That's the "core of the army" that a good chunk of people likely are working from.

All that is, currently, left to release:
-Canoness(multipart with options)
-Imagifer
-Dialogus
-Immolator/Rhino(do we know if this is a dual kit or not?)
-Seraphim/Zephyrim
-Repentia+Mistress of Penance
-Scenery piece

By comparison, the stuff released or placed up for preorder this week:
-Junith
-Penitent Engine/Mortifier
-Exorcist
-Hospitaller
-Arco Flagellants
-Battle Sister Squad(which is technically 3 units in one since Dominions and Celestians build out of it)
-Retributor Squad
-Triumph of St. Katherine

So 10 entries unreleased vs 11 released in two weeks. This is warp frigging speed compared to how the Marine stuff went.

GW may have figured that we don't need the cannoness as bad due to cannoness Virydia being a thing.and in fact that it might boost sales of that mini if they delay the release of the plastic one.

Also character models are always expensive, GW proably figures if we go all in and get all our units then whatever the cost of the cannoness... we'll buy it

I can’t see any rational reason to buy Veridyan when she doesn’t look like a canoness, doesn’t fit the new line at all and is a pretty lousy adaptation of the original artwork.

More likely it’s because you can just buy the Granoness from the box set now that it’s been extensively reprinted.

Eh boxed set is available in some stores. But not in all and not in GW. For example I can't buy one even if I felt need to spend 130e for sake of single monopose canoness with illegal loadout. As it's likely to be short term return rather than permanent item in sister line(not in gw main store for starters...) there's not even any quarantee the boxed set loadout won't end up in legends(which is where logically by GW definition it belongs...) and thus out from many tournaments and with that out of many non-tournament games as well.

My local GW had at least four yesterday, and I only got into the store around 4pm.

Well yes it's store dependant. But it's not global thing you can rely on. If it was back on sale for good it would be on gw store. Some stores got stock and are there until they sells out but might be a while as most who wanted one have got one and with multipart kits out for several units appeal for one is less. 130e is lot for canoness.

Separate kits - the Rhino is a single conversion sprue:

GW really nailed it with the SOB

The only miss imo is the flying pulpit, but the rest is excellent and really capture the gothic feeling (which seems to be waning unfortunately) of 40k

Well basic sister box could have been bit better if there was alternative arm poses for superior so all superiors with same wargear don't look so identical without cutting.

But overall minor issue

Mission complete:

(With added Blade Runner bird reference lol)

And yeah I appropriated the St Kat skull from the Triumph model, because my own converted Triumph doesn't use it.

I'm going to add something in front of her - maybe one of the Simulcrum box thingies.

the overhand grip for the heavy flamer in the sisters box is a pain in the ass. I'd recommend assembling it before attaching arm to body.

I am slightly miffed the regular box didnt come with a maul. Thinking the arc maul from skitarii kit should be an easy chop job for my other squads.

changemod wrote:From the given fluff they clearly envision battle pulpits less as “something the adepta sororitas does” and more as “something this particular lunatic did after preaching during a battle instead of doing something helpful”.

Sure. But a lot of 40k stuff starts out as something one specific character or unit does, before becoming widespread over a faction.

I'm irritated by the sole-option bionic forearm/hand that one of the regular Battle Sisters is forced to use

Another random tip: If you get bored with the Retributor Superior having limited right arms, note that parts 69 and 126 (outstretched grenade arm and unarmed pointing arm, respectively) from the Battle Sisters box can be used as further options. The pointing arm needs a bit of wrangling and green stuff at the shoulder joint to work, but the grenade arm fits pretty well without having to cover up any gaps.

Careful with those instruction booklets, there are errors in both the regular and Retributors versions.

Nothing major though, just use of the wrong images in places.

- The colourful "here's what a finished Retributor B should look like" photo has the heavy flamer sister shown twice, with the multi melta sister nowhere to be seen.
- Similarly, the Battle Sister I finished photo is wrong, it just repeats the image of Battle Sister H.

If you want to use spare heavy weapons on the regular boxed set then first of all obviously Battle Sister B would work.
Not sure about C, that heavy flamer pose would need some adjustments for the cables or ammo feed to fit.
The other two clear candidates are F and G. F is probably the best bet if you don't want to sacrifice the regular set's heavy weapon models.

Looking at the codex, it seems that they are not a dual kit, as the Rhino pictured is a Mars pattern variant and uses an upgrade sprue, while the Immolator is a Deimos pattern variant and has similar characteristics with the Exorcist. I wonder how much these will cost? Hopefully they don't charge an arm and a leg for a regular Rhino with and upgrade sprue.

just opened up my exorcist. part of me thinks there was a missed oppertunity to do a plastic demios rhino. I suspect that was the original plan but it got nixed when they realized they'd have a seperate rhino kit costing nearly twice the old one and that it'd not sell

It's entirely possible to use the dying Sister on the Hospitaller base as a regular rank and file model.

All you need are bits from the regular squad boxed set or Retributor set. Replace the reaching hand wih a standard bolter-wielding hand. Add a regular backpack. Add a rear cloth section via a discarded plastic piece from a different Sister or just make one with green stuff. Then prop her up by attaching her right foot against a random piece of terrain added to a 32mm base. She ends up looking like a wounded Sister fighting for her life.

having completed the exorcist I gotta say it's a good model from an assembly POV, it's detailed and ornate but not terriably difficult. I left the cherubs off mine as they're just something I see breaking off in transport, luckly it doesn't seem to be nesscary for the model

Kinda still think there'll be a plastic deimos rhino at some point. I love the resin one but hate the side skirts, mine have always been fine everywhere else, but they are warped in a weird way while having no slippage or issues elsewhere.

I'm currently working on building Junith and a hospataller. Junith is a kitbashers paradise. I swapped her head out for the shaved one from the battle sister box(took some whittling to get fit right) and it looks great.

think I'm gonna model the hospataller without the scenic base and use the casualty as an objective marker.

Also - converted St. Katherine:



Assassin Sister, Techy Sister, and Sister Miriya:



Mortician Sister, Genestealer Cultist Sister (from a book that i won't spoil), and Sister Hicks:



Sister from the limited edition box image, and fanatical Sister (counts as an Arco maybe?)

yeah, I'd not be suprised, I think the reason GW didn't do one this time around is because they'd charge "new tank prices" for it. and people would just buty and bling up space Marine Rhinos. I expect if GW ever does retire old Marines, chaos space Marines will get a relaunch of their tanks in a Demios varient.

You've been busy!

The Fanatic looks like she's having a whale of a time.

Nothing for sisters 2nd week in a row

No Sisters in the previews. Again. :(

No Canoness until Feb 8th at the earliest...

And that's preorder at earliest. Already had to cancel one tournament. If canoness and imagifier won't come next or week after that I have to cancel 2nd tournament as well. Never thought I would be worrying can I attend tournament 29.2 or not...

Well, this sucks. I was afraid that they would do this. What would be the best way to contact them to complain about this?

I guess the best way to convey a message would be if everyone called their customer services dept asking when the next Sisters are coming. Also, not buying the current Necro and Warcry garbage they are churning out instead would help.

to make matters worse, has anyone noted you can no longer buy Cannoness Viyrdia?

BrianDavion wrote:

While she doesn't show up on the UK Adepta Sororitas section, I was able to find her by searching for Veridyan

Direct link in case anyone needs it.

Interestingly I'd wager you've half a chance it goes back to Sisters next week. 2 Weeks AoS; 2 Weeks 40K. Whilst not a strict pattern it does seem to be GW's general patterning that one franchise majors over the other more or less. With the odd "specialist game" week thrown in.

Sure hope so! Of course still could be like dialogus and repentia next week and rhino and seraphim week after that and I can't go to tournament even then

This is speculation, but the latest PA5 teaser made a reference to a possible Imperial 3rd faction and 'faith in the Emperor'. It would make sense to release the rest of the Sisters range alongside their PA book. PA5 is confirmed as February.

Seems reasonable. I've got more than enough lined up to paint to fill the gap anyway.

Brian jumped the gun there, Mmmpi - she's certainly still available on the UK site, but for some reason she isn't sat within the Adepta Sororitas category if you use that filter. Searching for Veridyan brings her up, though whether that is true for different localised sites may or may not be true.

Could you kitbash Canonesses from Sisters Superior and some spare weapons, and make an Imagifier from a Sister with Simulacrum perhaps? Greyfax with headswap is another option for the former, and you can probably make something from the figures in The Triumph; not a bad price for 6 characters if you manage to find a use for all of them. Assuming it's not already in your army.

It would of course be rather a bit easier if GW just released the one plastic unnamed HQ already. Would say it's a a bit more of a priority than The Triumph or Junith were...

That would end up with wasted playable body that would not have much use afterwards. There's only so many canoness models you need and I want the official as a) it looks good b) it doesn't look just sister superior or imagifier(how to make it different looking from simulacrum anyway? It should be instantly clear from glance it's not same model).

And triumph is way too expensive for me to get for character purposes And greyfax wouldn't arrive in time anyway. I have the viridyan on order from before first wave came to preorder and I'm not expecting THAT to come before either. At least it should be faster than necron cryptek that took 8 months but web store items are not the solution if you are in a hurry

I'm thinking of switching one Simulacrum for the old Empire General angel of death banner, but that's useless if you don't have easy access to something along those lines... And even then, I may well end up replacing the top of an actual Imagifier, depending on how many Simulacra I will already have running around...

Where are you ordering things that take 8 months to arrive by the way? I'm rarely in much of a hurry, but I do like things to arrive before I forgot I even ordered them...

Could this mean she will be going out of production though? It regularly happens that things are misplaced in the webstore, but Canoness V certainly was in the right place until recently. I don't know why they would be changing anything in that section unless they mean to change something soon. Unless it's a mistake related to the hopefully near release of another pack with Canoness in the name...

I could see them retiring ehr given she's fine cast and new plastic canonnesses are out.

it's more likely they just screwed up when updating the store for the new sisters stuff

Great conversions!

The exorcist is definitely designed with a sprue that makes up the bottom half and a second sprue with all the unique bits for the actual exorcist. Seems incredibly likely the Rhino will just have a different top and could very well include the immolator parts.

I noticed that building them too.

However, looking at the pictures of the new Rhino from Warhammer Community, it has different side doors, a different mount for the Hunter-Killer Missile, different exhausts, etc. It looks like it's the existing Space Marine Rhino with a larger than normal accessory sprue (front plate, doors, missile, stormbolter and some minor bits like the tow hooks).

Meanwhile the Immolator is the same bottom half as the Exorcist with a different top.

New model.

That does look distressingly like a conversion kit for the ancient rhino rather than a rhino built from the new kit specifically for sisters.

It is. The SoB rhino is your standard plastic rhino with an upgrade sprue.

As for the Exorcist and Immo, i think the door shape and little side shrines are going to make it incompatible with the side - skirts of other rhino upgrade kits like the vindi or hunter, but I do have those parts and will give it a try.

Has anyone heard any news on when we might be getting our canoness kit?

I'm pondering using Novena as my first canoness, using a spare helmet to make her fit with my helmeted miniatures, but not gonna use her for all three ofc, and I don't like Veridiyan.

Uuuh that would suck. Tons of identical poses...There's only so much you want to do. Top of that you would struggle to get sensible amount. Buy 3 boxes and have 12? Full squad is 9...With Ro3 that's 27 repentia so whatever you do you end up with spares and 7 superiors and pay arm and teeth for those...That would be very customer unfriendly. So much like for GW!

Also arco flagelants came in box of 10...

Hopefully GW is feeling generous enough to do the sensible 9+1. Even that sucks with spare superiors(you only need 1 anyway) but better than 4+1 with squad size of 9

BrianDavion wrote:

Haven't we seen that there is far more variety to the Repentia than just 4? I'm betting a box of 10, just like the Archos. My fear is that there won't be a Repentia Superior in any kit - clampack or in a box - putting us into another Deffkopter situation (or a Death Guard/some Primaris minis situation - only worse).

changemod wrote:

I think it's a very nice conversion kit and the Rhino is still visually a pretty decent model (though some mechanical aspects of the kit are dated). I would not have been against them getting a plastic Deimos pattern, though.

It won't be 10 box without superior. Max squad size is 9. Has GW ever put box with more than unit's maximum?

nope never. to be honest the reason I assume a 4 repenta 1 superior box is because these days it's pretty rare to see any more then the smallest squad size for non troops from GW. I figure if we get a bigger box I'll be pleasently suprised.

The Repentia kit was previewed at the New Year's Open Day: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/30/reveals-from-the-warhammer-40000-open-daygw-homepage-post-1/

Unfortunately, it's two pictures, so we don't have everything together. To me, it looks like the Superior plus 9 Repentia since they are all slightly different (and the Superior would share zero parts with any of the models in the picture of 5).

nope never. to be honest the reason I assume a 4 repenta 1 superior box is because these days it's pretty rare to see any more then the smallest squad size for non troops from GW. I figure if we get a bigger box I'll be pleasently suprised.

Arco flagelants just got full squad in one box.

those Rependia shots from WarCom all look to me totally unique. I only see 2 Eviscerators that could be copies, one lady has a cyberleg, etc..

Not sure what to do with Repentia from the box set, that plus a 10 pack box will get more than a squad, and less than 2 squads..

Luckily got 2 sets so have 8. Need just to get 1 for full 27.

Wonder if sisters come this sunday. Sounds like adeptus titanicus will at least gets releases. Hopefully not only it
