Phil Kelly's supposed to be the one doing WH/SoB so that bodes well.

Which makes me wonder if Ward's doing Codex: Deathwatch.

As long as he isn't secretly doing C:Tau, i'm happy.

Ward more likely is in the throes of screwing up the Empire army book by adding in dozens upon dozens of Witchhunters as units that set people on fire with mindbullets.

Necrons are rumoured to have failed their Ward-save

I think that's a good thing though. Necrons needed some over the topness

I like the idea of making a more fluffy codex that the Sisters would play a main role in. Make it The Church/Ecclsiarchy as the heart and the sisters the main force. Maybe even leave the inquistion to the Grey Knights and have the Sisters represent the Ecclisiarchy and introduce a new dynamic that plays with the church and it's influence. I loved the fluff of the new Dark Elders' 'dex.

You don't like a codex that:

-Made Grey Knights into not a joke? (like they were in the previous codex)
-Made an Ordos Xenos army actually possible? (with right wargear and unique unit (Jokaero))
-Made pure Inquisition into not a joke? (Henchmen squads actually can fight now)

Really; its been overhyped the Grey Knight codex with people whining about fluff and balance issues (of which there isn't really any so far). Seriously; this is the best the Inquisition have ever had.

Whatever happens with the codex I can't wait to see new models for the sisters, were it not for the price tag I'd have an army already, instead of the few units I got cheap off fleabay. Though the mention of the special character with dual storm bolters sounds awesome

Their over-the-topness was why everyone hated them the first time. What the Necrons needed was an author who treats other armies and their background with respect.

Necron fluff is simple.

They show up somewhere, attempt to murder everybody, then vanish.

Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail. Sometimes near wierd gak on ancient worlds, sometimes in your backyard. But the mysterious coming and going and the omnicide should always hold true.

Sigh.
