I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before that Kelly is, supposedly, working on Sisters with Goodwin.

Any ideas on when advance orders are due. (Sorry if I may have missed this)

Most likely middle of March. For Preorders.

I would figure something popping up soon, say early Feb. Prob not much, but at least a teaser or two. The real goods probably wont be popping up until we are less than 30 days away.

Are releases typically early, mid or late month? I don't recall seeing a specific day, just stated April.

Normally early month.....

Normally, new releases from GW are the first Saturday in the month, then again 2 weeks later.

Goodwin did say he had some problems with robe sculpting for plastic kits. and they are a great team. and i so want the mamma's back on board in plastic. metal models are way to expensieve man

God, I just want one or two new options for a Inquisition-pure army. Maybe two cool troops. or support.

So it's been 23 days since the last update? Maybe I'm just being a pessimist but what happened to the 'news' aspect of this?

All we've had of late is that the Storm Raven WILL be available and we pretty much knew that already.

I would figure so. April starts quarter 2 in the business world. They will want to release it as early as possible so they can gauge how the rest of the quarter will go.

Well, I've been cruising the usual sites...just no new information for several days now. I'm assuming the NDA is pretty tight right now.

Looks like we might have spoken too soon, as Blood of Kittens plans to release new rumors in 24 hours:

This is a notice from the group 'Rumors Sweet Little Rumors':

"Check back in with Blood of Kittens in the next 24 hours for some more Grey Knight Rumors..."

As anyone tracked BoK's rumors on this from start to (now) and noted how much things have changed?

Very little if any between the two posts thus far. Interestingly enough, when I went back to read the second batch Tasty claimed it would be an April release - a little less than a week before the Incoming! email went out.

You think they're going to cut us a break on prices just because they are cheaper for them to produce now? Very doubtful.

I think he was saying that the Sisters are expensive now; but will be less expensive overall as plastics.

One can hope. I just pray the fix the faith points rules (like...by eliminating them). No pun intended.

Hey, good catch! As soon as some news breaks I'll update the front and credit BoK.

New rumours hey?

Well, guess it's time to see which ones he got right...

There's tons of precedent for GW having lowered prices for plastic versions of formerly metal-only models.

Not recently. Not a single one I can think of (doesn't mean they don't exist - but they couldn't have been very impressive).

Bloodcrushers

Bloodcrushers, White Lions, Boar Boyz, Chaos Knights, O+G Trolls, Killa Kanz, Seekers of Slaanesh, Phoenix Guard, Horrors, etc.

Raveners. Killer Kans.

But for every box of Bloodcrushers, there's a box of Goldswords.

Like what? I can't really think of a kit that ended up being more expensive, unless it comes with a ton of options that the metal versions never did - ie, the Venerable Dreadnought kit. And even that was still a couple of bucks cheaper than the old metal version.

You underestimate how expensive Battle Sisters are right now. Think $75 for 10. Bring them in line with units like the Dark Eldar Wyches, and you're talking about a 68% reduction.

The dread is good example. What was the cost to produce a metal one vs. plastic? What's the difference in price point? There you go... ;-)

Isn't that what made Sisters unique?

No, it's what made them a broken horror. Un-freakin-beatable and enormously frustrating to play in these parts.
