Of course she's happy. She's pointing her sword at a heretic and imagining his reaction when he realizes where she intends to put that sword.

Agreed - model looks fine to me

The 3 gw's local to me say they are limited to 10 boxes for pre-order

Since they got stock allocated to them, not ordered themselves--that would likely mean this box is limited to 10 boxes per individual ordering.

My online supplier was told it's limited, but the rep hasn't told him the limits (yet),

so it may be a case of how many there available depending on how production goes, and GW stores may get more allocated closer to the time

I'm going with

The jump pack is the thing propelling her forward. Why is she twisted so it's thrust is going to go 90 degrees to the direction she seems to actually be moving?

It's like modeling a jet flying sideways.

Flying side saddle?

I assume that’s 10 per person, not shop. Like Necron Destroyers when everyone went mad for them, they limited them to 10 per order.

I’m not worried anyway, maybe i’m overconfident, but I don’t think these will be gone within the hour, they’ll make thousands and thousands, hence the two week pre-order.

From the unboxing article:

"Not only that, but you’ll see a showcase of shiny new miniatures that won’t be out for a while yet,** and check out the updated datasheets for the entire range – including a number of, ahem… BRAND-NEW, NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN UNITS!"

They were using the same sort of hype wording for the box release, I'm not convinced there will be anything new

Except there were new models that they hadn't previewed - the guys running around with metal tentacles.

Of course some of the brand new never before seen models might be further advances of old designs brought into new plastic sculpts for release. So they will be NEW just not NEW NEW; however they could also be totally new ideas as well. Sisters have a decent line of models for variety, but there's certainly room for a few more ideas within their force.

Also far as I recall isn't GW also pushing terrain for factions so a Sisters of Battle terrain feature is very likely to appear.

I am positive ive seen arco flagellants in previous bulletins

There’s also a set of 12 white dice – Miracle dice, in fact! What are Miracle dice, we hear you ask? Well, check back with us later this week…

Reworked AOF, maybe? Is that new info?

Not heard the word Miracle before in this context so yeah - I think so those dice don't look very exciting though.

Yes. Peter Pan (the stage play) was the first thing that sprang to my mind. The sister looks less like she’s flying than getting yanked around in a wire harness by some burly stagehand.

Training at the Scholam Progenium.

funny.

I wonder if Miracle Dice are a similar mechanic to some of their board games, whereby you roll the MD at the start of a game to set their roll values. You can then swap them in in place of for another dice roll mid-game. Would be pretty cool.

Sounds a bit finciky - its another thing to keep track of.

Reading the Warhammer Community article on the new Sisters' box set, they highlighted these fantastic pieces:



All kidding aside, I'll be picking up a copy of this box set now, if I can get one.

The 'value' seems to be there...

They've been previewes like 3 times.

Destiny Dice from Tzeentch in AoS.

It's a neat mechanic but it would be a crap replacement for AoFs (at least index AoFs) for how much weaker it is than something like 'move twice', 'shoot twice' etc.

Unless you get like 12 a turn, then it'd be nuts.

The Flagellants have been previewed once, and they hadn’t been previewed when there was talk of stuff we hadn’t seen in the box.

I think the "act of faith" replacement are the 6 "Sacred Rites" cards.

However, what caught my eyes with the cards is the fact they got 38 stratagems.
That's a LOT.
Tau for comparison have 25, so does DA (26 if you count "the lion and the wolf"), deamons a mere 19.

I suspect they already have multiple stratagems for every order baked into the codex itself.

Yeah thats a good number - can;t really compare to Marines as would need to add up all those available over ALL the codexes supplements and now PA where they got another load.

1 stratagem card for each subfaction
1 unique stratagem for each subfaction


that brings them down to 24 stratagems, which is inline with what others have

Do the subfactions usually get their own cards? I guess I've only bought the ironhands ones.

its the only way it makes sense
I'm also guessing the other 6 cards are your "acts of faith" and the dice are to mark what units are effected by what

Im really interesting in that "NEW" miniatures.

Focused on ecclesiarchy would be very interesting, and frateris militia

Except my numbers were INCLUDING subfaction stratagems.
And i don't understand what you count. you counted 2 stratagems for each subfaction?
Because AFAIK they don't make cards for the subfactions themselves.
