I think we should all take a moment to thank the photographer. It cannot be easy to take pictures of a magazine when you have no hands, and there's and earthquake going on.

So many thanks to the photographer. I hope the prosthetics come in soon, and that you move to somewhere that isn't near a fault line.



Anyway, yes, plastic Sisters. Pretty sure that's Celestine + 2 bodyguards, and that kit is going to be expensive as feth.

The Magos is pure sex. I am in love with that model. Why are we getting it? Is there a big AdMech release coming? Combined books? Skitarii with a fething HQ finally?

The Hereticus Inquisitrix is great. I've been saying for years that they should have made a model of her:



... and it seems they finally are.

Archonites? Cool. Disc-riding Tzaangors? Even cooler!

Fall of Cadia? As long as we get a boss new Failbaddon mini (like Arhiman) and not a failure of a mini (like Kharn) then that'll be good.

And based on the tagline for Gangs of BDSM, it looks to be bikes and hoverboards for them.

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but the whole "scrolls as supports" look on jump troops annoys the hell out of me, I'm hoping they'll be easy enough to clip off. Otherwise, wow! They're all good models. Why are the "forge world exclusive" limited ed. space marines they're putting out so crap compared to this stuff?

I own this guy, and he's super bloody wobbly. I really do question how Celestine's model is going to work when the Knight Venator honestly looks more stable.

I guess they're holding off on a new Doobie miniature 'til the next book.

And it'll be kind of a shame if it's just Celestine leading the Black Templars, but no Sisters to go with her.

Long have we waited. lo, it is upon us.

I doubt it's anything more than Celestine and her bodyguards. This isn't a Codex release, and the fact that it's three special characters means, to me anyway, that none of the armies involved ('cept maybe Templars) are getting a full update.

 pretre wrote:
Those are literally plastic sisters models.

But it doesn't mean there's a plastic Sisters range coming with this book, or anytime soon. As I said, it's not a new Codex, it's just a single special character.

It'd be like claiming that Shadowfax means that "The Inquisition is now in plastic!". It's not. It's 1 model.

Let's not overstate or inflate this to silly "Plastic Sisters & Half-Life 3 confirmed!" levels of Internet Hyperbole.

I really like the Seraphims' Jump Packs. Very cool design.

I really like how they're not wasp-waisted, pencil-thighed, insanely busty, nipple armour women. Sure, they have bodices and boob armour but I feel like body-shape wise they're pretty spot on.

When have Sisters ever been that?

The Inquisitor is all of these things but I like her anyway, apart from her weirdly flat face and stupid hat with a stupid candle on it. She'll be getting a head swap and probably a weapon swap as well as I can't really see the place for a crossbow in 40k. Correct me if I'm wrong...

The Condemnor is a thing.

You wouldn't be surprised if the character that they just released as a brand new plastic kit was killed off straight away? Really?

And then you think they'll render their recently released giant Daemon Primarch "good" and remove that kit out of the game?

C'mon man...

Y'all got any 40K examples? Any examples that didn't come before a massive end to basically an entire product line and the start of a completely new product line?

Tyranids are Zergs. Straight out ripped off from Starcraft, as GW always do.

To be fair to Blizzard, who do rip off tons of stuff:

Tyranids prior to Starcraft


Starcraft Hydralisk


Tyranids after Starcraft

455 for a T6 model that's not an MC? I guess he has Eternal Warrior (at 10K years old, he'd have to have it, right?).

I think the idea is that GW has made every single female they've ever produced with the hourglass figure, now the sisters come out and they look fat.

There are not enough palms to apply to faces for this post.

Let me add both of mine:



I mean really, we're calling Celestine fat?

I just think it's great we're getting the female version of the Witch Hunter style Inquisitor.

Now if only we could get that for the Ordo Malleus and fething anything for the Ordo Xenos, I'd be happy.

Gorechosen with a new coat of paint?

I wasn't planning on buying Celestine, but if there's a discount involved in getting all three, then sure.

Umm... £50 is AUD$85. US$80 is AUD$111?

Why are we paying AUD$140?

Because they have never done flat currency conversions?
If they did, it would be $61 USD.

They have a 'price bracket' system they use.

That's a pretty dumb explanation there Kan. If true, then they should use an AUD pricing bracket that is closer to the UK price bracket they've assigned for this release, no? The fact that it's 164% the UK price is absurd.

But please go on. Defend GW's insane pricing methods some more. I'm very interested as to the justifications you can pick out of thin air.

 Kanluwen wrote:
Yes, it's a defense to explain to you how things work.

You're justifying (or attempting to justify) why Australia pays anywhere from 40%-100% more than the rest of the world (well, UK/US, I should say). That sounds like typical GW apologising to me.

 Kanluwen wrote:
They have price brackets they assign items to, and the prices tend to be a bit out of whack with straight conversions.

Having price brackets doesn't explain the sharp difference in prices between regions. It's fine to have a AUD$140 price bracket, but it should be applied to things that are close to (or as close to) things that have the equivalent price bracket in the UK. So if there's an £80 or £75 price bracket on something, then the AUD price can be the AUD$140 bracket. If the UK is in the £50 price bracket, then the AUD price bracket applied to the same item should be somewhere similar (an AUD$85 or AUD$90 price bracket).

If anything, price brackets should make having consistent (or near-consistent, taking into account currency fluctuations and some importing costs) world-wide prices easier. It does ---NOT--- explain why this box is 164% the price of the UK price.

 Kanluwen wrote:
Additionally it should be $120 AUD rather than $140 going by the price brackets of other items that are $80(Deathwatch Land Raider is the most recent example), but it's been fluctuating a bit this past year.

How can price brackets fluctuate?

Is the Void Dragon even part of 40K fluff since GW did a 180 on the C'Tan and changed them from ancient immortal space demi-Gods to enslaved shards of ancient not-quite-so-immortal space demi-Gods?

Anything about the Noctis Labyrinth/imprisoned Void-Dragon in there?

I'm all for a return of Vulkan if it's someone being realeased from Trollzyn's museum.

Besides death masque, an eldar triumvirate could see Eldrad rereleased with vect and an exodite or great harlequin.

I'd love a Great Harlequin model, but it could also be a good way of releasing the plastic Eldrad outside of a boxed game.


I still hear warning sirens when I see someone talking about Exodites. Then again, in two years we got a Harlequin Codex, two Ad-Mech books, a Deathwatch Codex, a Genestealer Cult Codex and a Traitor Legions book, so who the hell knows.

 ClockworkZion wrote:
That said I can understand why Eldar players might feel salty that they have nothing but old models in Finecast.

I believe they still have the oldest models GW makes (Phoenix Lords, a number of the Warlocks, the Avatar). They still have, I believe, the second oldest plastic kit in the range, the Vyper (that thing came out when I was still in high school - and prior to that they had the old plastic Jetbike), so they're due to have a few things redone.

I'd love a Phoenix Lords boxed set (rather than loads of overpriced clampacks) where Jes takes a second go at each of his iconic models.

Oh, and Fall of Cadia has a handy Empyrean Storm D66 chart that you roll on EVERY TURN ... You all love charts and rolling, right?

Well how else are we going to Forge the Narrative?

But yeah, 40K is the last game that needs another fething chart.

They could do another campaign boxed set between the two books. Wouldn't be the first (or even the third) time they've done it.

Could be a place to release new plastic Doobie/Chosen, plus Guard Veterans or something like that. New plastic Guard HQ?

40k doesn't need rules 'tweaks'. It needs a complete overhaul. The game is too cumbersome to function correctly.

If they would ever make major changes to the 40k core rules they will have to update and/or reprint all GW and FW army and campaign books. This has never happened before.

Yes it has.

2. 2nd Ed to 3rd Ed.

That's a dissapointment, of sorts.

Hard to criticise an orange for not being an apple. This book isn't a Sisters release, nor was it ever intended as such. It's a Fall of Cadia release. That's all it's meant to do.
