Heard that argument before with Wood Elves, Grey Knights and Dark Eldar. All became very popular after the release.
Sometimes you have to promote those miniature ranges that need it, not only those that don't need it.

I would say this is very interesting news, having recently purchased most of my sisters to start my own force it will be fun to see what they come up with or possibly standardize with other dex's out there. Truth be told though, although there are not as many options with the existing codex I am fairly happy with it and its uniqueness. So my only hope is that they do not destroy aspects of this army that truly make it unique.

Possibly what we'll see here for SoB, I'd imagine.

I was thinking the same thing. It was July -Aug 2007 to April 2010 so 31 months.

I can't wait to see the SOB Dread Knights...

That's disappointing if true.


I clicked on the link and it says the account has been suspended. What does that mean?

Anyway, SoB need a whole new codex, not a WD one. But I suppose it's better than nothing. I hear they're getting away from nuns in latex anyway.

It's Dread-nighties actually.

The whole new range is based around clothes to die for. Literally.

"Bodice of St. Domina"

"master-crafted push-up bra"

etc.

As for the two characters: my bet is Jacobus and Kyrinov

Sisters had the Sanguinor first too... shes called Celestine.

I'm pretty bummed by this rumor, I'd rather just not get an update to be honest. Spread out over 2 White Dwarfs too... so to get a hardcopy version of the 'Dex' we get to pay almost as much for a normal codex, but likely won't get lots of the fluff/overhaul that comes with a real release. Oh goody.

No I mean the overpriced mail order upgrade kit of a SOB in a baby Bjorn that you will add to a Dread Knight...

I'm not buying this rumor. Coming out with a codex and new models for Grey knights and Dark Eldar appeared to sell very well and revamped interest in older armies.

I don't think they'll move away from a business model that puts fast cash in their hands.

Lawl, I can see them all having the ability to call upon faith to activate red rage!.

I hate that model so much, I so hope that they don't carry over the dread knight.

To say that I'm skeptical would be an understatement. I think they're pullin' this info out from their local store's manager, rather than somewhere actually reliable.

While I don't mind the idea of "white dwarf" lists (not having to pay $30 for a book? yes please.) my problem is that GW has a mixed record. The BA list actually was done quite well, it's problems stemming from design philosophy rather than anything wrong with the format, but the Warriors of Chaos army list in mid 2008 was...awful, literally a 5 minute cut/paste job by the office intern and didn't even include many SC's with models, I remember because when I bought Archaon's model he wasn't actually useable in an army.

Either way, the WD format by itself sounds good to me, but I hope it's not an excuse to just be lazy rather than cut costs.

I dont know.. GW usually only wields their ham-fists when people are gonna post real info like pictures. However I still dont see how they can take down the entire webpage in like 1 hour

It doesnt just go like this

Games WOrkshop: "Hello, is this the internet?"
Internet "Yes sir this is the internet"
Games workshop: "Some of our info is about to be leaked can you shut down this website?"
Internet: "Of course sir, what is the webpage?"

Unless games workshop is a government agency with authority over the domain in question then its just not going to happen in the matter of minutes lol

Something else must be going on.. Or it's been an ongoing situation

If it was due to GW Uk then their lawyers are working very late today.

Wait, I have it!

1) Release crazy rumor
2) Put a fake redirect showing your site as suspended
3) Love your new street cred

Another rumour:

Much like the steam tank .... the brief was just to remake it in plastic

I am skeptical as well. Then what were those prototype models for sisters that looked so good that many of us have seen?

Sisters do need an update but please do it right and give them a full Codex.

I heard they were getting a combined Codex with Grey Knights?

Awww common, I did so love that rumour.

No Cruddace. Please. I already have 5k of Nids sitting on the shelves in my garage. I don't want to have my wife's decade old 5k of sisters keeping them company up there.

I'm skeptical. A WD list seems more the kind of thing you do when you either want to introduce a completely new faction (in which case, the list is really a widely-distributed playtest) or when you want to throw a bone to fans without doing any serious improvements to the faction. The fact that GW has apparently been working on new figures for the Sororitas seems to fly in the face of that.

He also wrote the IG codex...

Wasn't this a prevalent rumor 2 years ago as well? I don't see this happening unless GW really, really wants to get rid of Allies or something. Sisters definitely have room for a full release.

I honestly don't get why so many are so freaked out because of this. I thought that everyone wanted WD to be more integral part of the hobby?

Some people seem to be afraid that the SoB (assuming this whole thing isn't just a practical joke) will be same as BA pdf was. Guess what, that was back in the 4th edition where all codices were toned down from 3rd E. Obviously the BA seemed stripped down version compared to the previous one because it was. It didn't necessarily have anything to do with it being pdf, CSM also changed radically in that edition.

I'm 100% sure that they are not going to publish 4th edition codex in the middle of 5th edition. Cruddace might not be everyone's favorite rules designer but at least he isn't afraid of options and 2 WD issues and a supporting PDF have more than enough space for a proper codex.

Change happens. If this speeds up the codex release schedule then that is obviously a good thing. If you end up with a bad book it won't take as long to fix it and people won't have to suffer from 2 edition old armies that might be get screwed because of new edition rules.

BoK gave us the rumors about 2-wound (with access to FNP) Terminators and S7 Rending Psycannons months before anyone else. Mind telling me a bit of Stickmonkey-unique info that panned out?
