Back on topic, we should probably get the first information sometime next week

Yes, that is pretty cool. Now the next phase will be the "SOB phase".

Are we looking at the same site? I see a page showing just three sisters, and they are three for £10.75

Yup, three for £10.75.

If you want those 10 seraphim though, well, that'll be £77.

They showed 7 Battle Sisters on the 3 sister blister picture just the other day. They have no changed the first picture to one of just 3 Battle Sisters. They still have the 7 sister pic in the picture section of the product page though.

Ok...sorry for bringing up the price... Its just been awhile since I looked at Sister prices since my army has been finished (at least all purchased) for nearly 4 years.

My other point of my post is that Heavy weapons (heavy bolters and multimeltas) may be an option for Troop squads! Yay!

Speaking of bad decisions made by GW.



I know, I know, its beating a dead horse, can you blame me though? What possessed them to use this as the picture for the model..... and keep it after all this time instead of painting a new one. Then post it in the updated WD codex. Couldnt even make the effort to paint another one, to make it somewhat easy on the eyes and actually make someone want to buy it.

You know the best part of it though? It costs me $17 dollars to buy it if I want it
Bargain!

holy S**T its Velma from Scooby Doo and gang!

They could've at least filed the Inquisition logo away.

Don't you dare insult Velma like that.

Funny, I was looking at that mini a couple hours ago, and thinking of the best way to grind her head off.

... It's a dude

JoeyHeadwounds wrote:"That model always reminds me of blowup dolls". a friend of mine once said to me. Now whenever I see it, I can't help but think that, even though I have never seen one myself.

Now, all of you will probably have that come to mind when you see it too.

Why would you do that.
I was already laughing whenever I saw it, now I'm going into hysterics.

Personally it reminds me of that scene in the Jonahs Brothers episode of South park where all the girls opened their mouths simultaenously when they entered the room.

morgendonner wrote:Not sure if anybody else noticed this under the Battle Sisters listing:

"Unit Composition: Sister Superior and 9-19 Battle Sisters.
Transport: If the squad numbers ten models or less, it may be mounted in a Rhino."

It does also included the updated stat profile. So I'd say it looks like Immos will be staying for non-troops.

Another curious thing of note though is that under the Troops models it contains the heavy weapon carrying sisters...

It also lists them as being led by a Veteran Superior, doesn't list their new special rules, doesn't list their frag and krak grenades. Compare the stats listed on the website to those printed in the 4th edition codex, and you will see that NONE of the units have had their stat profiles updated. They list the old stats, which we know have been changed. So do not take this as a hint of what will be in the full book. GW's web guy is drunk or lazy or has been instructed not to complete the website overhaul until the whole book is out.

It's definitely a woman,

It mine any more attractive than the GW one?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/howardtreesong/Picture006.jpg

I quite liked the figure.

I like all the Inquisitorial Retinue models... except the Cherubs. They've always bugged me. But you can't buy them (or Servo-Skulls) any more... so who cares.

And yeah, it's a woman.

Is that a picture of a panda on the scroll she's holding? Maybe she lost her pet.

Kaffis wrote:Yeah, the 7 models are just the 7 poses (the same ones that are one each in the old 10-model box) that the 3 in the blister are randomly drawn from.

Ah my bad I didn't read the blurb

Designwise, I actually like her. Quite "steampunky", in a fitting 40k way. On the actual miniature the gaping mouth looks a bit ... weird, though. Maybe it's the missing lips, dunno.

"HELLO MR. KROOT HAVE YOU SEEN MY PANDA?"

(Caps because she's always yelling, obviously.)

I actually like the model more now because of this. And now I know what I'm going to paint on their scrolls.

That's how they intended it, but they failed... miserably....

Frankly that's the worst sculpt GW ever made.

I'm an SHOCKED that you would exaggerate your case in a discussion. SHOCKED.

Nagash and Razorgore say hi.

Can we get this shutdown until real news comes out? As fun as the 'flog a dead horse' threads are...

pretre wrote:you would exaggerate your case in a discussion.

I'm not exaggerating. I think the razergor and nagash are both better models.

And I wasn't really shocked or surprised at the position you took either. It isn't a good day unless you've made some outlandish claim exalting SOBs in some way. Even if it is that they have the worst X in the world.

Let's avoid flamebaiting one another please! Thanks, Manchu

It doesn't change the fact that the pricing structure puts them pretty much at twice the amount of other armies.

Thats sort of our point. Its just been that way for about 2 years. With a new codex we were hoping for some relief with cheaper, newer, better models along with new players to liven up the base a bit. Its not happening. Some of us fail to see the point of this codex. A simple FAQ/errata coudl have updated point costs/profiles and made some models and allies illegal. That could have taken a page or two. They coudl have waited for a real release. This one is not going to push Sisters models much if at all.

Make plastic sisters and I will consider them. I don't want to get a hernia or declare bankruptcy buying a metal army!

You took the words right out of my... keyboard.

Please remember that flamebaiting is against Dakka Rule Number One. Thanks, Manchu

Uhhh... it's an exaggeration, is it?

Nagash


Razorgore


Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these are good, but the sculpt in question is offensively bad: if for no other reason then the Nagash and gore minis have loads and loads of (useless) detail, while other is so smooth it looks like it got squeezed out of.. uh, a tube of toothpaste.

p-man mate, reading your posts in these threads is like watching a meth-head cut pieces off themself to feed their dog: equal parts horror and hilarity, but are you seriously going to argue with Melissia that that the sex-doll isn't at least a contender for worst model they ever made?

By all means, quickly review the DakkaDakka site rules regarding being polite. This involves not flamebaiting and otherwise deriding other users. If you think someone has a chip on their shoulder, be a sport and don't antagonize them about it. Further: Not violating Rule Number One also involves engaging in discussion with civility and courtesy. Being matter-of-fact is one thing, being a douchebag is another -- the moderation team can tell the difference and we expect all of you to be able to do the same.

Buzzsaw wrote: you seriously going to argue with Melissia that that the sex-doll isn't at least a contender for worst model they ever made?

Not anymore, I'm not.

Personally, I think that that is exaggeration, however.

Oh and I repeat my request, can we get this thread shutdown since neither news or rumors are being discussed?

Considering the Nagash model is apparently older than the Dakka boards (it was sculpted in 1994!), I think it isn't really fair to compare it to Sister Blowup-doll and the Methgore.

Between those two, I can't really say which is worse. The Razorgore on the other side doesn't look quite as terrible (barring the stupid mace tail thing), but there really isn't a good view of the Sister at all...

why would anyone buy a sisters army when its so expensive, is GW just trying their luck and selling as much metal as possible before the plastic sisters?
