It's been "clear as day" to many people since 2004. Just because you have the memory of a goldfish doesn't mean everyone else has to.
List the times GW has made official declerations of intent to make and release plastic Sisters of models.

There's a difference between healthy skepticism and the outright denial of reality.

I still cannot quite believe it to be true, and i am very much waiting to see the physical models themselves as well as the rules. i was wondering if such a day would come for around 5 years myself, knowing some have waited longer.

it's so far out, and who knows how this will shake out in the end. im operating on a lot of cautious optimism about this.

my guess is sisters where originally slated to get a mediocre codex at best but demand has convinced GW that a full on relaunch in 2019 is a better approuch, sisters will have to keep using the index for now but the wait should be worth it

Personally I do not care as I would never play sisters due to philosophical differences. However, from a peanut gallery perspective plastic sisters will not exist until they exist and they do not currently exist. For now there are promises hedged with a caveat and nine more months in 2018 alone for things to change.

Paradigm for a happy relationship with Games Workshop: Burn the books and take the models to a different game.

Immolators are in plastic. You can buy all the plastic Immolators you want right now [well, not all you want, they don't stock that many at a time.]


I'd also bet on there being new units, with a heavy focus on those new units as opposed to our existing ones. The rationale is obvious, I've said it before. I have no idea what new units would be, but they're not going to rely on us going out a replicating every unit in our army for novelty's value.

Guardsmen, hear me! Cadia may lie in ruin, but her proud people do not! For each brother and sister who gave their lives to Him as martyrs, we will reap a vengeance fiftyfold! Cadia may be no more, but will never be forgotten; our foes shall tremble in fear at the name, for their doom shall come from the barrels of Cadian guns, fired by Cadian hands! Forward, for vengeance and retribution, in His name and the names of our fallen comrades!

I mean, pretty much the only reason this is happening has to be the big survey thing they did showing them the demand was there.

So long as they don't radically change the aesthetic, Primaris-ify them, or royally cock up the lore I expect they'll sell pretty damn well.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

If the forum is any indication they'll be the best selling range ever. So you better well put your money where your mouth is.

The obscene cost was one of the only things stopping me from running an Imperium soup with like 30 Seraphim with Inferno Pistols and Celestine.

It's time.

reset the clock?


Of course who says plastic version is going to be cheaper in the end with constantly raising prices for new releases?-)

Glad to see GW officially declaring that they are working on Sisters. Sad to see they are still a bit far out. On the bright side it means I can start a high-interest savings account to stock up on gold-pressed latinum to pay for the initial wave when it comes.

Don't be stupid, they literally announced it. It is happening. Pushed up the production cycle in response to demand. That is why they didn't show it - the design (and marketing/painting) is not finished.

Tell you what this needs, is a steady, safe hand.

This needs a guy/girl who’s been working for the company for years and has nothing left to prove. Give this to the new kid who’s out to impress their boss with how creatively they can ‘reimagine’ SoB and you’re on a path to a travesty. Fans have been waiting for this for decades; promising them that their prayers have been heard and will be answered, building the hype for over a year and then dropping something new aged and different like Primaris Sisters or changing them to be non-religious or something is courting disaster. Play it safe, don’t change their identity, and they’ll be a riotous success.

All they really need is to remake every kit in modern plastic combo-kits, add a couple of HQs and maybe something new like a variant on the Penitent Engine or something, and hey presto.

Oh and change Repentia. Those things were barely ok as a concept 20 years ago. Nowadays they’re completely untenable.

Just please, please don’t give us a ‘reimagining’ or ‘updating’ of the lore à-la Primaris Space Marines. That’s a poisoned chalice patient fans don’t want a taste of.

Alright then, let’s do this.

Boob armour is fine, it’s an effective way of making models identifiably female from the other side of a table.

Women being condemned as sinful and having to earn their right to redemption in the eyes of their male saviour by stripping naked (or near to it) is not fine. At all.

Come at me.

I'd be ok with a 10 man sister squad. Just magnetize them so they can be standard sisters, retributors, dominions, characers, etc... that's what I'd really like, to collect 50-60 power armor girls and run them with every possible combination but keeping them WYSIWYG.

Then a few tanks, the saint and 10 seraphims. It could even be quite cheap to collect, maybe going bitz hunting for all the heavy/special weapons could be a little difficult but that's the project I have in mind since years.

Of course guardsmen dimensions and not primaris sister

The only reason I have yet to start a Sisters army is my detestation of pewter, and my distaste for resin. If this is true, it would figure they'd do it when 10 models average $50 or more.

But men stripped naked, being mind raped into being extremly violent to the point of ignoring pain and having their hands cut off and replaced with weapons so they can flagellate themselves, thats fine? Reducing men to barely human, unthinking monsters is grand as long as they don't have breasts.

The Imperium is a crappy place but its equally crappy to everyone.
