Hey, just saw this over at 4Chan.



As a sisters of battle player I'm both worried and intrigued.

I'm pretty sure it's just the digital edition of the existing codex.

Buuuuut Warlord Traits? :O

Was "photography" included with the white dwarf codex? It sounds like they'll at least have a minor update with the inclusion of warlord traits

Well we'll have confirmation soon but I'm doubting it since the picture beneath the "sister's codex" is the BA codex cover and there doesn't seem to be a good reason for it to be there.

*eyebrow raises until it shoots off of my forehead*

Its gotta be a trick. GW would never update Sisters of battle.

Maybe its a rerelease of the WD list?

Just woah. It's alive! It's from 4chan so must be true.

It's the 5th ed codex with a Warlord table, rereleased. I think the Blood Angels codex is also getting a digital release with Warlord traits added or something similarly minor. At least there's a way to field the army now.

Well it depends on how much 'updating for 6th edition' they did.

I could see some unit getting Skyfire or something, but I wouldn't expect much. When Sisters get redone, it'll be on the scale of the Dark Eldar out of necessity. This just seems like a stopgap following up on a stopgap.

And honestly, I'm pretty fine with that. I doubted that it would be a complete update, but what it most certainly is is a legit codex, and the warlord traits are a wonderful bonus.

Saw this in the thread on 4Chan

It is from White Dwarf "Digital Editions" page (p#34).

So seems like they are updating the SoB and BA dexes with digital releases. Probably even warlord traits for BA.

Kinda strange they would update it so 'people can begin a collection' when there's essential models like Seraphim Superiors still missing from the webstore.

Will this be a physical book, or only available as an eBook?

Well, it's under Digital Releases, so for now only as an eBook.

looks good,

although im hopefull that when they do the hardback version when they re-do their codex that they role the SOB, GK and Ordo Xenos into a single book. ( even if they are seperate armies)

Sadly, I can see this being the case.

Sweet gak of Celestine!

Ah, image doesn't show that and I don't get WD. I'm not sure how much good this will do me then. I don't own a tablet or eReader of any kind, so I'm not sure how I'd get this to the gaming table.

Even if it is just the 5th WD codex with Warlord traits it's good that it will be officially available.

Those enthused enough to hunt down the models to play them have enough on their plate without dealing with an OOP codex.

Print!

The new digital editions are .epub and mobi, not just iTunes, right?

And static warlord traits for our special characters will be great. Especially since no one runs the non-SC anyways.

I don't have a working printer either!

And yeah, I think GW finally got off their duffs and started releasing non iTunes versions of books.

Curious about the Warlord traits, if there's anything truly useful in there. Maybe something that can make a nonSC HQ choice useful, since my group doesn't usually do SCs :(

Kinkos!

I don't think any random warlord table will make the non-sc ones viable. I hope to be proven wrong though. As to not allowing SC, is your group still playing 3rd edition or something? Geeze.

There will be no single printed "How to Paint Dark Elves" book either, so this is obviously digital only, as suggested by the format of the pic.

Well I'm excited. I'm hoping that it actual changes things (10 point Battle Sisters PLEASE).

I'm prepared for disappointment as well though.

Ah, I expected this to be here.

Not sure it's real. Note the use of Dark Heresy artwork, and the misspelling of "Adepta Sororitas".

Oooh good catch.

Web-monkey is probably not well-versed in 40k, thinks everything is Space Marines anyway.

This is the company that re-released Apocalypse with limited edition template and blast markers (which really are essential). So not that strange, really.

Not to mention that there is at least one SS in the webstore:

Thank God - warlord traits! Finally they are competitive again.

Time to watch all the marine players codex hopping onto the Sisters.
