If it wasn't on the melee wargear list… where would it be ? Certainly not on the shooting wargear list. Or maybe you can now throw your eviscerators with an eviscerator-thrower ! Or use squirrels to ride eviscerators into the enemy !

If that weapon is not in the book SOMEBODY MUST PAY!

"That'll be 6 quid Robin."

This squirrel is from a French children show. It's how we make sure our children all end up being flying rodent gak crazy. You can watch a bunch of episodes on YouTube, it's called Kaeloo, and I guess a bunch of episodes are translated in English. It's really, really, really mad. Especially for children. And that comes from someone who is used to Japanese movies like “Alien versus Ninja”, “Robo-Geisha”, “Machine-girl”, “Vampire girl versus frankenstein girl” and all that.

Then the Canoness won't have access to it, since we've seen her entry. How probable is that ? I mean, that would suck to extreme degree !

It's what we have now, so I can't say it'd be anything "new" then.

The canoness have access to it. It's extremely expensive, though. And the canoness will likely die before being able to use it. But still, she can pay for one.

I have already bought tickets to this movie and it doesn't exist yet.

With Cate Blanchett as The Canoness, Helen Mirren and Gina Torres with an eyepatch as the Palatines, Anna Paquin and Keira Knightley as the Seraphim, Milla Johovich as the Celestian Superior, and Chloe Grace Moretz as the Novice.

Special guest appearance by Summer Glau as the Sister Repentia because psycho girl with bare feet.

I actually have a file of these...

Ah, forgot. I remembered that for some reason Seraphim have the only Superior with access to one at the moment, but forgot about the Canoness.

So, how come you never considered using an eviscerator on your canoness ?
Oh, wait, I know, it's because, like all of us, you never even considered taking a canoness given how much GW made her BAD ! That's a surprise .

Well that and she's over a hundred points once you kitted her out with a Rosarius and an Eviscerator.

Well I hope they get Eviscerators, Power Axes and a Jump Pack for the Cannoness, but GW does odd things, as we all know.

Supposedly Sisters get the "best" war gear, but we know better.

Also, in the new Space Marine codex it says, "...the Black Templars have gone to war alongside the devout Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas, and a complex web of mutual obligation and honour has evolved." However, Sisters and Black Templars are listed as "desperate allies" on the allies matrix? Don't they even read their own books??

You know you can take a Power Axe -now- right? Anytime a book says "Power Weapon" you refer to what they have, and use that ruleset.

Yeah, but we are hoping that access to a power weapon is still an option. I'm sure it is, but....

I'm hoping the Immolator get better armor on the front. It dies too easily!

I mean a Drop Pod has armor 12!

I don't see power weapons being an issue. Eviscerators on the other hand I kind of want back army wide.

what they mean is that they were "desperate allies," but black templars are now counted as generic space marines, therefor they are now "allies of convenience"

The Allies with Black Templars was/is a huge debate. The thread got locked in YMDC after both sides kept repeated the same info of their interpretation of the little "authors note" (Me being for allies of convenience) So probably for the best it doesn't get started again.

If/when GW does their next FAQ update we might see something, until then sort it out with your friends/TOs ahead of time.

In other news, less than 24 hours left!

oh, thought this was already FAQed

and, excitement!

Nope, I have not seen a FAQ on it yet.

Well as this codex will determine if my Sisters go back on the table for a while. If it's really bad I may proxy them as Salamanders.

Canoness entry has no jump pack option. :(

i saw that. too

To be fair - as effective as she was, it always seemed a bit odd as an option ...

(would be cool for the Palatine, though - hypothetically speaking - and make her a more popular choice)

What do people think about Celestines future? Is she likely to be nerfed, or upped in points?

I expect her to be moved up by perhaps 25 points. Hopefully her rules stay the same. If she gains eternal warriors I'd pay closer to 180 points for her.

And no access to "Special Wargear", which is usually where Jump Packs are kept to boot.

Historically, I felt a Jump Pack HQ fed into the idea that the Sisters are to jump packs the way Space Marines are to Terminator Armor. I.E. it's a special assignment generally given to veterans and such. The Seraphim are the iconic "Sisters+" int he same waya Terminator Squad is "Space Marine+" buy taking a lot of the core traits and turning them up to 11.

troy_tempest wrote:What do people think about Celestines future? Is she likely to be nerfed, or upped in points?

Given GW's track record, we could also see it happen the other way around, with the canoness being even more nerfed, and Celestine being made even better or cheaper. That's what fun with GW, you never know !

Indeed - she appears to be still in the codex in some form as she is part of the 1 click deals etc and a HQ choice.

The Cannoness has not got worse (depending on how Faith works and her Matrydom ability) but has only had a very minor improvement - Rosarius is cheaper (should have been part of her basic build but hey) and missed on things to make her really good choice - Artifcer Armour, Jump Pack etc . Alot depends on the Relics..........

I still think there is a very good Allies unit for people if stuff is mostly same or better (like Battle Sisters Squad)

St Celestine,
Dominon Squad (5) (2 Meltas),
Battle Sister Squad (5) (2 Meltas or Melta, Flamer),
2 Immolators
Exorcist.

too long to wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want it now

Well at least there is one good thing about being in Australia, Codex gets released tomorrow morning for me so unlike you guys don't have to spend the next ten hours waiting around .

I'm in a similar boat, as I'm busy this evening until late at night, so if I'm smart when I stumble home i'll just go to bed, and not download the codex and quickly glance at it.

If I say it enough times, I might even believe it .

Are you so sure that you won'tbe locked to the release at the UK first, like the previews? It's not like OZ got those early.

I think he's just referring to the time difference: He can get some sleep and wake up to the codex, whereas we have to stay up late :(
