heck yea!

well, going by past examples, the apocalypse rules that have classified pictures, its a model not available yet. so im almost definitely wrong. but i got my hopes and dreams.

Manchu wrote:Hmm. Resin cast of the current Celestine or ... A brand new sculpt? If you have to dream, dream big.

I doubt they will resculpt Celestine, as that model is already hott.

I do not believe it is a sisters model the two classifieds are right next to the tomb kings and dark Eldar and most likely models yet to be released for those armies. No background art exists for sisters yet (you know the stuff they put on all the new box releases). Both necrons and sisters have had nothing redone for them at all, a fair assumption is that they are coming either in the next wave of 'finecast' or this is a confirmation that they are next which is what I hope.

I personally think you're looking to much into the classified thing, I don't think they're hiding anything there, I just think GW are doing it for... almost thematic reasons. You know, the ol' purged by the inquisition thing, just to add character I guess.
It's a bugger to describe, but I don't think there's anything behind the classified boxes.

Like I said if anything they are not sisters or Necron what is perhaps important about the poster and more so the list of metal to resin is the lack of Necron or Sister models.

"Oi lads -- we're two short of the sixty we need for a six by ten spread on the poster."

"Bloody hell. I suppose just put on some black boxes that say 'classified.' The Inquisition got 'em, init?"

"Brilliant!"

"Reckon this will wind anyone up about new models or anything?"

"Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah."

Now now, there's no need to ruin hopeful speculation with perfectly reasonable... err, reasoning.

Basically, yes. Although I have edited it for you so people find something to really hate on...

the storm raven pic didnt exist in the ba codex, gk hav inquisitor valeria, that means de and tomb kings have something missing given gw's past. so if you have either codex and can name the sc that doesnt have a picture, you know the classified

Yeah it is more than a coincidence that this is the case. Look at where the 'classified' ones appear. Straight after DE and straight after tomb kings. Both are on a considerable model release schedule now.

That means there is most likely a character 'behind' each of those classified signs.

It is a bit OT but i'm going to guess that the one to the right of the classified for the DE is a heamonculus (or however it is spelled). That makes the character maybe the mandrake special character, or lady malyse or maybe the baron SC.

I'm thinking maybe the Baron on the sky board as this will allow GW to guff about how much better fine craft is than metal (and thusly justify them taking more of your money).

The hellion character would make sense since he wouldn't be balancing the metal skyboard and his metal self on the flying stand ... like the horrible beastmaster

ghost21 says no to the WD Codex rumour:

You do know Sisters were originally a WD release......
But no, they will get a proper 'dex

YAY! had a bad day and its nice to have good news

That doesn't mean it won't be a WD codex its just a set of conflicting rumours now and neither to particularly favour.

Is there a hint that what White Dwarf they would put the Sister Codex in? WD 377 has a small preview with no hints of Sisters, so 378 and beyond. The only good thing of this being a stop gap but also that SOB players will get a real codex in 6th edition and will have current rules that won't be "out of date" in 6 months. Gotta look on the bright side.

If a WD codex does happen then exactly this to be honest!

When is the next announcement.. basically if no sisters are announced before the price hike then I think I'll have to go dark eldar.

I would not hold your breath for Sisters, I think the general consensus is that Necrons will come first. Before a WD codex though? I could not begin to guess.

hmm.. I'll wait until the end of this week... if there's no revelations it might be DEldar ordering time...

ghost21 says no to the WD Codex rumour:

Frankly I have no idea who ghost21 is or his track record. He's only just started spouting Necron rumors right? Curious why anyone beliveis him over BoK or yakface. I guess we'll see

Ghost21 tends to mostly only post on warseer... but has a superb track record for models and news... but I don't think ghost ever does much in the way of rules. Ghost has been reporting on the sprues they have seen...

As far as everything else goes, Ghost hasn't stated that Necrons weren't first... in fact, I'm fairly certain they have said that Necrons were before sisters...

The Yak and BoK rumours for Necrons also contradict ghost21 I think.

but weren sob being done after GK... stands to reason that they're out next unless they want to do GK/Xenos/Sob... but they did release the rest of the dark eldar... Sob wave 1 would be good.. also necrons would be better for christmas... the ideal starter army...

Some of the Necron changes are quite dramatic I don't know how well they will be for a starter army plus I do not believe armies come out for Christmas. I think GW had said or rumour suggested that Sisters were started 6 months after Grey knights, that still leaves time for the possibility of Necrons. Also the Necron rumours if rumours are an accurate depiction of progress (obviously they are not but still) more depth exists for the Necron information compared to Sisters.

It's also logical that Necrons comes out after Tomb Kings. Necrons is the oldest codex followed by Sisters. There's also a few hints that Sisters are coming out later this year.

I'd prefer a proper codex rather than a rush temporary one. The PDF was awful, stirring a lot of confusion whether allies are legal are not. GW said they are still legal as long as the player has the hard copy, which isn't printed anymore. GK codex set the precedence that allies will most likely not be included in the Sisters of Battle codex, but that's a whole different topic.

Sisters are still in limbo having a cheap PDF codex and direct order blisters rather than box sets. It cost a lot to just make a simple 10-girl squad with special weapons and transport. Let's hope some good will come out of this by Fall.

I heard late 2011 for a SoB release today.

Also, I'm pretty sure they won't be releasing anything near Christmas. IIRC, GW hasn't had any major releases around Christmas, or in December for that matter. Don't quote me on either of these bits of information though...

Fair enough. Thanks for the info. I lurk warseer and know of many of the rumormongers there, but he seemed to pop up out of nowhere. Couldn't recall a single rumor of his from the past (several come to mind for BoK and yak). Not one to bag on a rumormonger though, just curious.
