just opened up my exorcist. part of me thinks there was a missed oppertunity to do a plastic demios rhino. I suspect that was the original plan but it got nixed when they realized they'd have a seperate rhino kit costing nearly twice the old one and that it'd not sell
Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two
It's entirely possible to use the dying Sister on the Hospitaller base as a regular rank and file model.
All you need are bits from the regular squad boxed set or Retributor set. Replace the reaching hand wih a standard bolter-wielding hand. Add a regular backpack. Add a rear cloth section via a discarded plastic piece from a different Sister or just make one with green stuff. Then prop her up by attaching her right foot against a random piece of terrain added to a 32mm base. She ends up looking like a wounded Sister fighting for her life.

Is there a picture of this somewhere?

I mean, fifty bucks is on the line.
There's no rule that says I can't.
having completed the exorcist I gotta say it's a good model from an assembly POV, it's detailed and ornate but not terriably difficult. I left the cherubs off mine as they're just something I see breaking off in transport, luckly it doesn't seem to be nesscary for the model

Kinda still think there'll be a plastic deimos rhino at some point. I love the resin one but hate the side skirts, mine have always been fine everywhere else, but they are warped in a weird way while having no slippage or issues elsewhere.
I'm currently working on building Junith and a hospataller. Junith is a kitbashers paradise. I swapped her head out for the shaved one from the battle sister box(took some whittling to get fit right) and it looks great.
think I'm gonna model the hospataller without the scenic base and use the casualty as an objective marker.

yeah, I'd not be suprised, I think the reason GW didn't do one this time around is because they'd charge "new tank prices" for it. and people would just buty and bling up space Marine Rhinos. I expect if GW ever does retire old Marines, chaos space Marines will get a relaunch of their tanks in a Demios varient.

And that's preorder at earliest. Already had to cancel one tournament. If canoness and imagifier won't come next or week after that I have to cancel 2nd tournament as well. Never thought I would be worrying can I attend tournament 29.2 or not...

I guess the best way to convey a message would be if everyone called their customer services dept asking when the next Sisters are coming. Also, not buying the current Necro and Warcry garbage they are churning out instead would help.

Interestingly I'd wager you've half a chance it goes back to Sisters next week. 2 Weeks AoS; 2 Weeks 40K. Whilst not a strict pattern it does seem to be GW's general patterning that one franchise majors over the other more or less. With the odd "specialist game" week thrown in.
Sure hope so! Of course still could be like dialogus and repentia next week and rhino and seraphim week after that and I can't go to tournament even then

This is speculation, but the latest PA5 teaser made a reference to a possible Imperial 3rd faction and 'faith in the Emperor'. It would make sense to release the rest of the Sisters range alongside their PA book. PA5 is confirmed as February.

Seems reasonable. I've got more than enough lined up to paint to fill the gap anyway.

Pretty sure that's GSC talking about the "Four-armed Emperor"

It seems I picked her up just in time then!
Brian jumped the gun there, Mmmpi - she's certainly still available on the UK site, but for some reason she isn't sat within the Adepta Sororitas category if you use that filter. Searching for Veridyan brings her up, though whether that is true for different localised sites may or may not be true.

Could you kitbash Canonesses from Sisters Superior and some spare weapons, and make an Imagifier from a Sister with Simulacrum perhaps? Greyfax with headswap is another option for the former, and you can probably make something from the figures in The Triumph; not a bad price for 6 characters if you manage to find a use for all of them. Assuming it's not already in your army.
It would of course be rather a bit easier if GW just released the one plastic unnamed HQ already. Would say it's a a bit more of a priority than The Triumph or Junith were...

That would end up with wasted playable body that would not have much use afterwards. There's only so many canoness models you need and I want the official as a) it looks good b) it doesn't look just sister superior or imagifier(how to make it different looking from simulacrum anyway? It should be instantly clear from glance it's not same model).
And triumph is way too expensive for me to get for character purposes And greyfax wouldn't arrive in time anyway. I have the viridyan on order from before first wave came to preorder and I'm not expecting THAT to come before either. At least it should be faster than necron cryptek that took 8 months but web store items are not the solution if you are in a hurry

I'm thinking of switching one Simulacrum for the old Empire General angel of death banner, but that's useless if you don't have easy access to something along those lines... And even then, I may well end up replacing the top of an actual Imagifier, depending on how many Simulacra I will already have running around...
Where are you ordering things that take 8 months to arrive by the way? I'm rarely in much of a hurry, but I do like things to arrive before I forgot I even ordered them...

Could this mean she will be going out of production though? It regularly happens that things are misplaced in the webstore, but Canoness V certainly was in the right place until recently. I don't know why they would be changing anything in that section unless they mean to change something soon. Unless it's a mistake related to the hopefully near release of another pack with Canoness in the name...
The exorcist is definitely designed with a sprue that makes up the bottom half and a second sprue with all the unique bits for the actual exorcist. Seems incredibly likely the Rhino will just have a different top and could very well include the immolator parts.

I noticed that building them too.
However, looking at the pictures of the new Rhino from Warhammer Community, it has different side doors, a different mount for the Hunter-Killer Missile, different exhausts, etc. It looks like it's the existing Space Marine Rhino with a larger than normal accessory sprue (front plate, doors, missile, stormbolter and some minor bits like the tow hooks).
Meanwhile the Immolator is the same bottom half as the Exorcist with a different top.
