The arcos have two wounds and no inv save (FnP instead). The repentia are 6++.

But they can run a good 10" per turn, so you'd only have around three rounds of shooting before they'd get you... unless you charge them first anyway, getting attacked in CC has always been a bit of a bane to repentia.

3 turns of shooting would kill that SC box if it was just an equal number of models of bolter Sisters(let alone bolter discipline marines). Not that you could actually get there in three turns with your opponent moving backwards whenever you get close.

arcos and repentia are my preferred payload for immolators
it keeps them safe so they can't get shot up at range, and you rarely need more than 5 or 6 to kill just about anything.
Alternatively you can run a crap ton of them instead of the immo but I find that attracts a lot more attention

210USD seems reasonable to me.

But I am a brainwashed Sisters superfan who loves the re-release.

Well, you know what they say - admission is the first step...!

And in this case, the cover charge for admission is $210.

It's okay considering you get the codex and datacards. Don't get more than 1 box tho

Erjak, if the incoming Codex is at least as good as the Index+CA17 you can have the plastics from my box. If not, I need you to film me burning them in front of my lovely metals Sisters.

I am amenable to these terms.

Does anyone know the release date? If so what is the source, and what hour in the day do they usually announce the release?

I heared people say it will go out of stock in an hour or two and I realy dont want to miss it

Yeah its annoying if it is limited :(

Not seen a date though

I don't see the problem with it being limited, if you are patient and wait until next year, you'll get better miniatures it seems, and certainly a more expansive release of units, retributors, dominions and always the possibility of less monopose versions of this box.

Many other similar box releases over the last few years have all been limited runs, Shadowspear, Tooth & Claw and Knights Renegade for example, and no doubt Blood of the Phoenix will vanish before too long.

I'm new to the game and this is a good opportunity for me to get a decent amount of models + the rulebook and get started with an army that I like.. dont want to wait months just to pick them up one by one

Because it's the only way to get the goddam codex for the massive army of sisters models I already have?

Freakin DUH.

If I wanted to start this army now then yeah, and with those tanks coming up then perfect. This must be GW's thinking... So go for it!

I have been patient for how many fething years - I want it now - I have the money - why the feth can they just not get on with it and sell me what I want to buy.

But the codex is going to get a solo release,

hopefully limited means enough for a few weeks not a few hours, but even if it is only a few hours there won't be long to wait compared to how long sisters players have waited before

(and plenty of the sets will be being split so you should find the codex from them on ebay anyway, even if you end up paying the same as GW retail for it)

Late Feb/March 2020 was the rumour for the solo releases, so even if it's not another "we made just enough to sell it out to scalpers & whales by 10:10am on Saturday" thing and it lasts a week or two, there's still a fair wait for anyone who misses the window.

How often does that happen? That they release a really small amount that goes out of stock in a matter of hours

I just hope I can find out he precise AUD before the pre-order hits. Though if it does sell out in a few hours, then I'm probably screwed anyway as I am just going to be too busy that day to sit at my computer hitting refresh.

Quite frequently, recently, I believe!

That means nothing to me if the solo release is in march.

Also 'don't worry about the crap sandwhich, at least it's not arsenic burgers!' Is a stupid, terrible argument.

Very.

Only on days that end with a 'y'.

Then, if you are really lucky, the codex won’t be gak for the models not in the box.

Has it been stated that a non-limited codex, either printed or digital, isn’t going to be released at the same time?
As it isn’t a “play box”, ie with 2 factions in it, it makes logical sense that a codex will be released at the same time.

For plastic sisters? Or rules for your current collection?

Either way, if you want the box, get on and buy it when it’s launched, then wait until next year for the rest of the range.

Because they're going to sell it to people who buy 15 of them and put them up on eBay for 150% the cost.

Looncurse, Skaven vs Strigoi, Ogres vs Bonestealers.
All this year, most recently last month.

There’s no separate codex coming with the box, no.

I agree with the people saying its bs that the only codex is with the box. I have a version of everything in the box, I don't need anything in it and holding the codex hostage for €130 is a gakky thing to do.

Its also a pretty gakky thing to do to the long term Sisters players who've waited so long for an update. Like "we don't care that you kept the army alive for 20 years despite us not caring, the newbie players who refused to start the army until it was easily accessible are the REAL heroes." Yes I know I'm being elitist, I don't care.

Well, they do want you to buy the new stuff, not just what you already have.

This is their way of making sure you do.
