Which one click deal?

The "Daughters of the Emperor" one isn't that bad considering it's a whole hell of a lot of pewter.

Huh, a box of sisters is $96 Canadian now....

Did they suddenly get casted out of silver?

At least in US prices, everything seems to be the same. One clicks are just price of individuals, like usual (at least the ones I looked at).

I think when they say "double" they mean double of when you used to be able to buy a box of 10 sisters (which was $40ish not too long ago).

And yeah - I don't see many people lining up to buy models that are what, at least a decade old, for $70-80 a box.

Also - $66 for 5 damn Seraphim!

I can't imagine why Sisters of Battle aren't more popular ...

You know... I was honestly secretly looking forward to building a contingent of SoB as an elite guard for some ecclesiarchs as well as an ally for my friend's IG. And then dem prices for just 10 troops xD. Either way... certainly seems like a decent enough codex. Still gonna get this! It looks pretty cool and is nice to see that they at least changed stuff up!

I will admit though... the warlord trait frustrates me so much.

I think what they choose to do with the PE will determine whether they really know what they're doing (or not) with this book.

It's Cruddace, what's the worst that can happen?



I'm kidding of course! Please don't burn me at the stake and call me mean names!

Seriously though, wargear price drops have me optimisitic. We may not have a cheaper base cost, but our overall cost may have dropped a chunk.

I strongly doubt there's any changes to PE. They are still HS at least.

Wait, did the WD Canoness have stubborn? If not, that is a nice pickup. Also Martyrdom sounds good as well.

Yes she did. Sadly the only place it really helped was the 20 Sisters squad. We all know how often those see the table though.

Thanks for the pics Clockwork!
Noticed a couple of things, not sure if its anything but in the first pic below, the 5 Lady squad next to the Cannoness has 4 flamers. They also have gold trim, something synonymous with Celestians. Could Sororitas command squads be going the way of IG CCS and the recent SM CS with the ability to take 4 special weapons? Or is it just a Dom squad?
Something to support this in the second pic, the description for Sororitas Command Squad mentions that it "MAY" be accompanied by dialogus/Hospitaller.

Thanks for the preview. Some rather nice stuff in there. Most of the fluff is, unsurprisingly, cobbled together from earlier sources - but I did notice a few additions! For example, the bit about the Order of the Argent Shroud is a copypaste of its description in WD #383 - with exception of the last sentence that now marks this Order as fielding a disproportionally high amount of Seraphim and Celestians. Interesting.

The artwork is neat, if sometimes misplaced. For the Sororitas Command Squad, they took a picture from FFG's Blood of Martyrs with Sisters from two different Orders and a Repentia? If they had to rip off art from outsourced material, they may well have went for the piece that shows a collection of "types" of Sisters. It's in the same book!

Small errors that kinda poked me in the eye: calling the Adepta Sororitas synonymous with the Sisters of Battle, and the Orders Dialogous as Orders Dialogus. The latter could technically be a retcon (though I don't believe it is), but the former is contradicted in a later preview image.
It's nothing too glaring, I can live with it - just a bit weird. About as weird as calling the Sister with Imagifer a "Sister with Blessed Banner" (look at it ya gitz, it's a piece of parchment, not a flag!).

I'm also happy to see that we still get "the best wargear the Imperium has to offer" after seeing how another digital product (the "Munitorum") wanted to claim we have lesser bolters, but I'm guessing the latter was written by some BL freelancer rather than someone from the core studio.

It'd kinda fit the army theme!

(... and I'd actually buy that - shouldn't be much more expensive than current prices)

Hmm. Good catch.
Ever since 3E, the Canoness' bodyguard has always been Celestians (before this job was done by the Seraphim), and it even says so in the fluff text of that preview...

Imagifer got renamed on the Blessed Banner back when the WD codex came out likely due to the original banner bearer being OOP (I managed to nail one on ebay today as well as possibly the old card Argent Shroud Banner (unless I'm getting scammed then I'll be a sad panda)).

I wouldn't take model placement as being indicitive of anything. GW might have thrown them all on the table and went "yup, looks cool" and taken the picture.
