I'm open to take bets on the number of seconds it will take to sell out on Saturday morning

Some really cool additions to the Sister's range, hope that their long suffering supporters are happy with the new hotness. My personal favourite is the new Imagifier, that icon is amazing.

Well, sometimes prayers do come true.

Hmm. Some nice bits in the actual sisters kit. I particularly like the shaved head and the raised visor

Not at all shocked that its a battle sister/dominions/celestians kit, though I'm at a loss as to what the 'special components' are based on those photos. The sigil on the helmet?

Imagifier impresses me most out of all these models. A picture of refined faith and devotion, rather than someone screaming while festooned with junk.

While I'm glad there are real options in the actual canoness kit, the monopose nature and forearm swaps aren't exactly compelling. I do like the alternate chest plate and hooded head, however.

The pulpit is... a bit over the top, and whether that's good or bad is a matter of taste. The fact that its a named SC associated solely with a single order IS bad, however.

Battle Sanctum is presumable the standard terrain piece.
Zephyrim are presumably the dual kit option for Seraphim. (And I really hope they aren't just Seraphim with lightning claws...)

Multipart Canonness with flaming mace is a winner. As is the Imagifer, and the Multipart SoB box makes me happy.

Also, GW is basically admitting this will sell out instantly by posting when pre-orders go up (the exact hours!).

Could Zephyrim be bikers?

Edit: That's a joke.

Battle Sanctum - forlorn hope for a walking church, in the scale of a Knight

We all know it's going to be a 100pt terrain piece that gives re-rolls to 6's on morale tests within 2", or similar...

Idk man, judging by the last sigmar terrain piece that came out it might be 'once per turn slay one enemy unit within 36"'.

Zephyrim could be a flyer of some sort? I like the idea of Seraphim geared for assault.

What part? Because i want sisters bikers bad.

Battle sanctum. Sisters version of a land raider redeemer?

Well I'll have to have my F5 Key ready for Saturday!

Head, icon, and weapon options?!? On a character? What in tarnation?

Also, not too surprised that the dias turned out to be an HQ model. Doesn't look bad, but I'm not sure if I'll end up getting one to convert. (Though, I know a lot of people are going to convert one up into something awesome and that'll change my mind)

So do I, but I can't see it happening.

Yeah...is anyone else kind of pissed off by this?

To me this is them basically saying "this cool box set we've been hyping up? Oh yeah, we don't have too many of them ready and it's probably a limited release - good luck, you probably won't get one".

Either that or they're being deliberately ambiguous as to whether it's a limited release while giving the go-live date/time to drive sales as hard as possible. Which seems pretty slimy given that it's not like the hype train for this release needs that sort of help.

Feels a lot more negatively manipulative than normal marketing.

Considering one of the most common questions we get in any news thread is "When do preorders go up?", it's not exactly shocking that they would do this

The answer, BTW, is 1pm Eastern for North America give or take ten to fifteen minutes on Saturday November 16th.

They're more likely a dual kit option for Seraphim, especially considering the name structure and meaning of zephyr (breeze/wind)

Honestly, I've been taking it as a given.
Too many things are set up that way lately.

Including, bafflingly enough, the ebook versions of the Necromunda Book of Peril and the new AoS Battletomes and 40k supplements(at least in the US store). I have no idea how that works, but somehow they ran out of digital books.

I expect double handed swords for the Zephyrim.

We also know there are ranged penitent engines from some of the artwork, but that might just be a weapon option.

Good to know that the retributors are part of a different box. They might even have 4 of each of the three weapons...

Hmmm, that's weird. I seem to remember somebody pointing out that the monopose models in the new army box were almost certainly not the final sculpts, and that the full kits would be multipose with options.

A bunch of people said that person was making wild assumptions and that all was doom and gloom and sisters would only ever be monopose Nu-GW nightmares.

There's a battle sister with a flamethrower and shaved head. Did GW just make a Ripley model?

Nah, it’s not a combi-weapon.

I will limit myself to a small allied force for my Guard, I will limit myself to a small allied force for my Guard, I...no, that Heavy Bolter is too cool to not have several. Whoopsie.

Yeah, it does leave a rather sour taste that immediately counteracts the excitement of the new pictures.
Some recent bulletins already referred to the "amazing" this and "exciting" that - I'd prefer them showing it, rather than telling us how great things are - and now "the hype is huge" (yeah, that's the point of everything you've been doing in the last 12 months isn't it?); "we expect it to sell very quickly" (if by that you mean "sell out", make more of the damn things).

Anyway....




A pity the box with relic didn't end up being part of some procession or other wishlisted new unit/terrain.
Although it's a nice part that may of course be given a new destination, and it appears there will at least be some other new units coming up.

Who'd have thought eh?
New units after all, revealed only after showing most things we knew would come.
Some people really should have had some more.. faith.

WOW just so much awesomeness

I NEED all this stuff now!

What new units are you referring to? A probable dual kit with weapon-swap, or the already existing support characters (that used to be command squad options)?

A new special character, HQ or two was predictable (and predicted)

Damn it's so stupid that they create this artificial shortage of the boxset. What's the point really.

yeah this is the only thing that annoys me - money ready - but have to be lucky to get what i want....Sheesh

Hover pulpit is very close to breaking my will.



It could count as a... Sentinel yeah. Then I don't need to get a whole new army!

Maybe once I see the price my will power will return.

Dunno if it was mentioned, but half cut off in the top of the image appears to be an immolator chassis with heavy bolters instead of flamers

Absolutely love that raised visor.

I love everything. The only disappointment is the hover pulpit being a special character. I hope against hope that there is a generic variant, even though they didn't mention it.

Well, that all looks absolutely amazing...

On the Zephyrim, I hope others of you are correct that it's a new Seraphim build, melee option, bikes, flyer, etc... but I have to observe GW's recent shift to made-up and copyrightable names. Could they just be Seraphim under new branding?

On the Canoness... that'll just be fun with magents. Brazier of Holy Fire?

Overall, lovely dynamic poses, great iconography, and it seems like really agreeable build variety and sprue design. I'm pretty well set with about 8-12 of every special/heavy except multi-meltas, so I'm excited to just build and paint for the fun of it and sprinkle these new plastics among my OG metal models from the 90s.

Nice job, gee-dubs!
