Now, I can't read mandarin, but I do have a pair of eyes, so I can do a better job of describing the models in the box than the video:

1 Canoness
10 Battle Sisters
5 Seraphim
4 Repentia
1 Mistress
1 Penitent Engine
3 Flagellants

So they're not the real kits.

That's a shame.

If your breaking a story why wouldn't you spend 5 seconds googling a few unit names etc?

I think it’s okay, actually. With how monopose the full kits will be when they come anyway, this at least means there’ll be 2 different looking units before you have to start to worry about repetition.

Pft! The algorithm and ad revenue don't care about anything like that. Just make sure you hit the 10 minute mark and bang it out there!

That's not a bad way of looking at it actually.

Still, the pics in the Codex look promising.

I shall be royally pissed if I am not able to get one of these

I was already sure that the contents were quick-build mono-pose on a combined sprue, so this doesn't surprise me. The real concern was always how likely the box set will sell out on the first day of preordering.

Go ask the guy that did the vid. I just posted it because it was news that wasn't up here yet.

Time pressure to be the first to break the news?

This is what I expected and it is fine. I just hope the full kits are released in conjunction or soon after with this (and not like with Shadowspear where we are still waiting for some.) Monopose kits are more fun if you at the same time have the extra bits from the full kits to spruce them up with.

I suspect they will given the codex included will showcase the entire range.

Hopefully GW reacts to this and gives us good pictures, like a nice group shot of all the models. Or a non-blurry picture of the Mistress.

Prior to the latest Marine codex that would have been par for the course. Yet with that book, for the first time in forever, GW was comfortable showing off new kits that are still not released.

I wouldn't take the presence of the codex in that box as a sign that any full kits are released with a short time of the boxed set. Possible, but no longer certainty.

Yes, I cross-converted Dark Imperium Intercessors with regular ones and ETB ones without much issue. Extra poses/limbs makes for greater variety.

if its a limited quantity box it will probably sell out within seconds and many will be pissed off.
interested in picking one up depending on price, but probably will be among the ones missing out on it

i cant see the flagellants in the video :(

My Chinese wasn't great 10 years ago and ain't gotten better since. But here's the screen shot.

And my best guesses

1 Canoness
10 sisters
5 Seraphim
1 Seraphim leader?
4 Repentia (repent, 悔 is in the name)
3 dunno, got nothing
1 machine? (armor is in the name 甲)

Oh and yeah great research dude, terrible video...

I meant an image of the miniatures. They are the only thing that has not yet been seen :( :(

That’s a nice piece of art there, looks new.

I apologize if this has been already discussed, but is there any idea on the price point of this box?
I remember that the Warhammer Community Survey had a grand prize and 10 additional ones to lucky hobbyists and they should be Adepta Sororitas models.

From the Terms and Conditions of said lottery:

12) The prizes will be an army of new Adepta Sororitas plastic miniatures. The prizes would include a grand prize worth £250 and 10 prizes worth £35 (grand prize ca. AUD 468 and 10 prizes at AUD 65). The prize value of the 11 prizes are: GBP £600 (ca. AUD 1127) and they will be dispatched to the customer at the time of their worldwide release later this year. The currency and exact value of each prize will vary depending on the countries of residence of the winners.

I hope that the box won't have a RRP of £250 because, even accounting for the limited edition Codex, it would be incredibly expensive.
Using GW exchange rates, that would be €325 and US$418,75.

Pinned comment on the video from ~3 hours ago:

3:18 Rough translation
80pg Codex Sororitas
80 limited edition stat cards
12 special dice
Transfer Sheet

25 Models
1 Canoness
10 Battle Sisters
5 Seraphims
1 Repentia Squad Leader (direct translation is weird, but likely Mistress of Repentance)
4 Sisters Repentia
3 Arco-flagellant? (again, translation is weird due to 'localization')
1 Penitent Engine

Certainly look like Arco-Flagellants to me

EDIT: Busted links, whoops

Discount boxes can be 'worth' a certain amount, but retail for lower.

Not the best picture but I think the Seraphim look horrible on those particular flight stands.

Well, this is what GW had to say about the box when they revealed it:

It’s our pleasure to unveil this glorious army set today – a monument to the unwavering devotion of our community and to a new era for one of the most beloved armies in Warhammer 40,000.

... this one is dedicated to you die-hard Sisters of Battle fans as a reward for your unwavering faith.

This price certainly seems monumental and is the exact kind of reward that I'd expect from GW.

Whatever the price does turn out to be, I hope GW have got plenty of stock ready. It would be a real shame if anyone who's not able to place an order in the first five minutes misses there chance.

That said I think these mono build sprues would be a good candidate for a SoB start collecting box in the future.

Thanks for the pics!!





Is any date mentioned in the video?

God I hope there aren't a lot of sisters players in my town. I want this box and am terrified it will sell out everywhere.

I hope so, because the £35 price of the boxes of 10 SoB seems in line with their retail prices.

150 euros is the most I'm willing to pay for this box.

An 80 page codex is a little worrying.
