We all know that a new Grey Knights Codex is coming out in April, but about a new Sisters of Battle codex?? Comment please!

I want 'Crons first, but after them, SISTERS PLEASE!!!

I was thinking about starting a Sisters army a while back, never got round to it, but I would definitely do it if a new Codex and plastic range came out.

GK, Necrons, SoB...if they try to throw anything else in between those I would be highly upset as these are the codexes that need it the most.

Oh the joys a new dex could bring... no more 50pt rhinos, old armorys and motorpools, modern assassins, etc...

I have some bigger wishes but don't want to nuts

From my source its necrons August september followed by SOB in November/December if you want more info go to http://natfka.blogspot.com/ and more specifically http://natfka.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-sisters-of-battle-details.html

Really hope Sisters get a flying vehicle to fill the same sort of role as an IG Valkyrie, or perhaps more along the same lines as a Stormraven.

And if they remove Saint Celestine I will be very, very unhappy.

I really, really hope that Sisters are in the offing.

There was that Lightning attack craft in DOW: Soulstorm. That was aquisitioned from the Imperial Navy, and the decree passive might prohibit that, although Valk/Vendettas are much the same for the IG.

And if they remove Saint Celestine I will be very, very unhappy.

If the SoB codex goes the same way as BA and Gk then St. Celestine will have been trapped in the warp for millenia beating the gak out of whatever's around and randomly popping up to help the sisters in their time of need.

Melissia will be posting in this thread in 3....2....1....

I voted "can't wait" with the caveat that this response only applies if I can still build an all make force using the Inquisition/Ecclesiarchy stuff and storm troopers.

Quoted for truth.... shocked it has gone this long

Their codex already came out. its called "dark eldar" if those aren't girls then I don't know what is.

I hope so I just started them and would love plastic sisters.

Talked to a GW worker yesterday. He's said that sisters would definitely be in plastic kits which was a relief, and that the Inquisition would be taking the back seat (like they will in the GK codex).

You've probably heard this all from rumours already, but it was a relief for me to hear it first hand.

I'm not looking forward to ti that much. Their current codex is easily my favorite codex out there right now. I'd hate to see another boring painting section.

I am looking forward to some snazzy new rules

New models, not so much. I like my all metal army, it feels cool. Not very nice on my pocket book, but there's always ebay to deal with that.

Yes and no. A lot of my conversions have been a real pain in the . Then again, the Seraphim and Retributor (esp. HB ) models are beautiful, and would be hard to replicate in plastic.

Still, I have enough metal Sisters that I'm ready for some plastics and a new Codex to take me to a full Order's worth .

lol... I'm hoping that better GK and SoB rules will make taking Inquisitor Lords in some lists more legit.

I'm rather ambivolent. I think the idea of witch hunters are cool, but I've never been a particular fan of LADIES IN POWER ARMOR!

If their codex got fleshed out a little bit so that they were more varied in unit types than NECRON, I'd be more interested, but having an entire codex devoted to girls in power armor with just different weapons, oh, and that one missile tank, hasn't really appealed to me.

Perhaps if they do a nice job with the inqisitor and give you a real troops option other than only sorotitas, I'd give them more serious consideration.

It just seems like the army has some nice ideas going for it (I especially like faith points), but the concept and model range are lacking, to say the least.

Well, I'd say letting a codex languish for so long, tends to cause these kind of problems. All the recent Rule books, have been pretty nice. If the Dark Eldar release is anything to go on, then I have high expectations for SoB afterward as well. Just as long as it's Necrons after GK.

Thanks for posting this! Recently, my enthusiasm in the Sisters of Battle has gone back up. I started an army, but switched to the new Dark Eldar, my second favorite, for financial reasons and my interest in the Dark Eldar. However, I think the Sisters are still my favorite, and a couple new rules and more affordable models would be great!!

*Sigh* The Inquisition always seems to take a backseat nowadays...

Well; lets hope it at least offers only new options for Pure =I= lists; and allows for use of Inquisition units in the GK codex.

Can't wait for the new kits, but I can definitely wait on the butt whoopin I'm going to get till I can figure a way around my friend's new toys.

To me the Inquisition are some of the coolest stuff out there. Why are they taking a back seat? Not enough sales, I guess, which is surprising. I share your pain.

Umm. The =I= are getting a huge boost out of Codex:GH. All three Ordos are supposedly viable and customizable.

Yeah, but apparently it wasn't supposed to happen. Grey Knights were supposed to be the focus.

God; Dan Abnett should be given a good rule-writer and both of them should make Codex: Inquisition. What a masterpiece that would be.

Yes but they have 2 units. Less than DH or WH.

Nope. Let's look at what is supposedly in C: GK vs C: DH


Codex: GK Just Inq Options, not GK
HQ: 3 Units, 3 Named: Coteaz, Karamazov, Valeria, OM Inq, OH Inq, OX Inq
Elite: 6 units, Assassin x4, Henchman (incorporates Arcos, Daemonhosts, IST, Retinues and DCA, plus many new unit combos. Counting as 5.)
Troops: n/a, Henchmen, possibly or def with Coteaz.
Ded Trans: Rhino, Razorback, Inq Chim
Heavy: LR, LRC, LRR
So 12 units, 3 Ded Trans, 3 Chars
And that's not counting Counts As possibilities for Stormravens, Dreadknights, etc.


Codex: DH (Just Inq, not GK)
HQ: 1 units, 1 Char. Inq Lord, Coteaz
Elites: 4 units. OM Inq, DH, DCA, Assassin x4
Troops: 1 units. IST
Ded Trans: 3 units. Chim, Rhino, LR
Heavy: 1 unit. Orbital Strike
So 7 units, 3 Ded Trans, 1 char in the old codex.

How is that less than C: DH?

After Grey knights I expect at least 3 better selling armies to be redone before we see any sisters.

That would be pretty cool. I always like to see new things from GW...however my disposable income might dispute that sentiment Im ready for some new SOB, GK, and Necs!
