Something goatboy said over on Bell has me thinking.

What do you think that the (assuming there is one) new SoB codex will be like?

I hate to say it, but I had a vision of a worst-case scenario where Matt Ward has Celestine rape Slaanesh in person with a chain sword after slaughtering the Emperor's Children to the last CSM and being pregnant with the Star Child via the Emperor, before declaring Roboute Guilliman to be her spiritual liege.

On a serious note I think that the new Faith system will work similar to how the GK Psyker powers work whereas each squad has a specific power that they're allowed to use per turn.

Last I heard matt ward was not the one writing the SoB codex, but Phil Kelly is supposedly the one writing it.

I heard the same.

I actually expect something closer to Orders myself.

Well you can expect quality from Phil Kelly. He and Andy Hoare are by far my favourite codex writers.

BTW is the plural of codex
A-Codexes or
B-Codices?

I think technically its codices, but many people say codexes

It is codices, but GW uses both.

TY

I really doubt there will be any inquisition elements in the SOB codex.

I agree that this is likely.

But we will see ecclesiarchy members.

Oh how I hope!

Mortifex would be nice to see in the 'dex

We will not be seeing a Sisters of Battle Codex until they decide to make some new plastics for them.

I hope that is soon, I recently just sold off about 2000 points of metal sisters for one reason: Given how much people will pay for these girls, it was a better idea then keeping them around. That and when the new plastics come out, a sisters army might be more fun as you won't be stuck with 4 different models for your normal gals. xD

The Sororitas always seem to be getting demolished and embarrassed these days, hopefully they can get some victories in.

They'll probably de-emphasize its connection to the Inquisition in a manner similar to the GK codex.

We already know they're making them, as they've talked about problems they've had with the robes and trying to make them look dynamic enough.

Rumors say that they have finished the plastics for SoB and they look really good and that they started on the plastic sisters a few months after they started working on the new GK. Rumors also put the SoB either near the end of this year or the first quarter of next year.

Yeah, after crons. Then tau probably after Sisters . Sounds like a good year for GW's underdogs.

Basically I'm hoping for a very shooty mid to close range army. I also kind of assumed that there would be an order like system, but I do indeed hope they keep the Faith system, or at least something similar to it.

And a box of 5 sisters will cost $75 knowing GW...

No, it'll be ten per box. Basic battle sisters can't even come in units of five. Hell, Grey Hunters came in ten for thirty five, I guarantee Sisters won't be more expensive than that.

LOl they'l make it Squad part A and Squad Part B so they can charge more and still claim that they're inexpensive. Sort of like IG.

I'm not doubting you guys, but where have you read these things from GW??????? I've been playing Warhammer since around 91' and the 'a friend of a friend' is never really what I like to hear. xD

Would also be interesting if they can still be fielded in groups of 20.

I wonder if Immolator Spam will still be the order of the day in the new codex to.

What do you mean still?

Immolator spam is pretty crappy, so it becoming good would be new, not the same thing over again

Actually you can get an entire troops choice from a single box with IG. It just isn't an infantry platoon.

IIRC, since it's been a while since I bought IG in less then army box quantities, it's usually slightly less then a squad,

Last I played Sisters Immolator spam was great, that was back in 4th. I would think it's even better in 5th given how templates work and the ammount of said templates sisters can bring to bear.

Imo, it'd be great if Phil Kelly wrote the new SoB codex! I own and love the one he made for Dark Eldar. *crosses fingers*

Eh, shouldn't they just make a small pamphlet, and mail it to the 15 or so SoB players instead of wasting their time writing a new codex?

Good idea. Oh, and then they can send out a pamphlet for the new Chaos Space Marines 'dex just saying 'counts as Space Marines' on it.

Hey, will I be able to use Razorbacks, Multi-meltas and Plasmacannons then?

Haha, sure. Hell, I might run my Sisters as Grey Knights. Dread Knight = Penitent Engine, right?
