Yeah I'm pretty sure this is gonna be fairly close to the actual plastic kits.

I agree with everyone. She's glorious!

However, she's going to be finecast, isn't she?

That's pretty much a deal breaker for me given the last few GW resin minis I've painted.

If they're releasing parts of the range in advance, it'd be in plastic.

It's in plastic if Warhammer Community isn't lying to us.

Yeah, GW specifically said plastic.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

It'll be a 25 quid "limited release" plastic model like the anniversary Primaris Sergeant, except this time people might actually buy them. EDIT: That's me speculating, by the way, not event info.

Knowing the restrictions of plastic, I wonder how many pieces she will be. Looking at all the undercuts, I’m guessing a lot.

She'll no doubt cost a lot more than I'd consider reasonable, like any other modern GW clamshell character. Given the deluge of Death characters, though, I doubt she'll be limited. Just a regular part of the range for when your Sister Superior out of a troop box isn't superior enough.

But of by "limited release" you mean a paper thin justification to up the price into demented territory, yeah. i could see that. I don't expect Sisters to have decent pricing and fear we'll get to pay the same boob bonus that made Witch Elves unfeasible.

Ehh, the BoP Ahriman is proof that GW can do fiddly plastic ropes no problem. That the ones on mine broke off are my own fault, but detail wise it works.

In Finecast it'd be not lining up in 9/10 casts, I bet.

PS: I can't get over how food this looks. It blows Celestine and that Canoness straight out of the water, IMO.

That sister was designed by Darren Latham of Genestealer Cult Neophytes and Skitarii fame. I think the final model will turn out pretty well.

Now I can't unsee the fact that the bolter has two ejection ports.

Aren't bolters supposed to have two ejection ports so they an be wielded both right and left handed?

Don't know if that's the reason, but all the Primaris Bolt Rifles and Carbines have two ejection ports, so it's at least consistent with modern 40K designs, if nothing else.

Plenty of people in this thread, including me, seem to be happy. GW has already explained that the process for delivery of this army would be covered not secret until the pre order day.

I'm looking forward to adding these to my 2nd Ed metals and the Burning Rose models from Anvil.

Not according to all of the other Godwyn-Deaz bolter models. See any of the current/past Sisters models.

Also, charging handle does not always equal ejection port. Several modern rifle designs have left side charge and right hand eject, or can be swapped either way with ease.

Can't believe GW have ruined the plastic SoB range by *checks notes* putting bilateral ejection ports on the boltgun of the first CAD preview of a model.
