So its a codex thats what 6 pages to cover the ordos specific units
deathwatch and blackstar
cannoness and squad
gk termies and dreadknight
that leaves plenty of space for assasins etc.

Ok what do you know I can confirm a ltd edition Blanche S&M cannoness in resin.

SISTER OF BATTLE CANNONESS VERIDYAN only 5 per store limited run.

Well think about it. They can honestly release sisters models whenever they want after they make the book. This isn't admech or something where they need to release everything with the book all in one go to appease the lawyers. Technically all their options and everything have models already, so if (big if) they're making plastic sisters, they can release the book now and then release the kits in a trickle or do a big splash release if they decide to drop a proper codex all in one go.

If they really want to give sisters a true army book again, it'd even let them spread out the releases, as they could release a couple of the options in the agents book like the main battle squad and save the flashier stuff for a proper codex.

Still not 100% convinced even if the video gives me hope. You guys gotta remember that hearing "confirmed" sisters of battle rumors these days is like hearing "confirmed" plastic thunderhawks. Really we have no reason to believe anything until someone posts about 50 HD shots of the sprue from every conceivable angle with Roundtree doing a live press release confirming it.

Vorian, if you seriously want a response:

1: "GW" has said plastic Sisters in the past and, obviously, have been wrong.

2: People with "100% accuracy" have said plastic Sisters in the past and been wrong.

It's been more than something along the lines of five years since Jes Goodwin said Plastic Sisters are "almost finished" and "imminent", and that they just have some "minor adjustments" to make. And we have gotten... nothing.

But hey, we gotta board the hype train, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO NOT BOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! Anyone not willing to board the hype train MUST BE LYNCHED until they come on board or cease to be!

Or, you know, you could just accept that people have different opinions than you and not spaz out and try to pressure in to silence everyone who doesn't agree with you about the potential future existence of small, possibly plastic spacenuns with spaceguns and spacetanks.

What person with 100 pct accuracy said sisters before?

If that's true then no matter how good the model is I wont be getting one. Even if there was a GW locally and I had the Saturday free(there's not and work means I usually don't) this limited edition stuff is getting daft.

So only at GW stores, or can it be ordered at your FLGS?

FLGS will be getting them. It is looking like they will be initially limited to two per store.

Cool. I can easily order from the FLGS (which I happen to work at. On Saturday).

Veridian= a long-lasting, bluish-green pigment, consisting of a hydrated oxide of chromium
Viridiana= (Spanish, Portuguese, Latin), Viridianne (French, English), Verdiana (Italian) is a female given name of Latin origin as well as the name of an Italian Saint.

If the codex does, in fact, contain rules for Grey Knights squads and the Dreadknight, I will probably pick some GK up. I will wait on the Sisters until plastics come out.

Hopefully they use this opportunity to get some plastics out for the different Inquisitors.

We' got some actual news (release info for an actual model), which if true, contradicts what was said before (no new miniatures for the book), which I find rather interesting.

Might not be in the book

I'd think the model will either have rules in C:IA or have rules available for download.

I'm not surprised that this Codex doesn't contain new models. If Sisters were going to get new models, it would come alongside their own book. I'm more disappointed that there is a distinct lack of new Imperial Agents (i.e. the guys you are trying to sell to us with this Codex, GW)

As for the limited edition Canoness, well it certainly isn't a release that was meant to fit into this new Codex. Perhaps a promotion for it, or a release tied into it, but irrelevant in terms of there not being new models present for either Imperial Agents or their henchmen.

It'll be a special character with rules in the box like the other resins

Well to me there's three possibilities.

1: rules included.
2: rules separate.
3: no rules, counts as normal cannoness.

I feel one and three are most likely.

I would suspect that they will have models in time, it seems like it would be a large missed opportunity if they didn't seize the opportunity for sales with this.

Would be my bet too if there is a model.

I probably shouldn't say this yet but the GK inclusion in codex: Imp Agents is a different strike force composition than the GK codex (1HQ, 1 Compulsory troops + whatever). Smaller, specialized. That's part of the book, is taking some models which don't fit so well and giving them even basic detachments to be legal and included, as stand alone or allied. But if you're still interested then check out the review this weekend from whomever and see if it interests you.

A lot of the in-store FW resin models tend to have pretty nothing rules. The praetor in cataphractii armour was just a very slightly cheaper praetor on account of not having a combi-bolter and the herald was just a herald with UM legion rules if I remember correctly (might of had someother specials rules).

I am kind of just glad to be getting anything interesting in December because traditionally it was a dead zone of Christmas bundles and Hobbit/Lord of the Rings releases.
I am pretty sure that GW runs a light staff in the last part of December so I am not surprised with the spacing of things.

There is potential for this, as GW has staggered releases of a certain theme before (GSC being the most recent example). However, the fact that we don't have any hard evidence confirming models at this point makes me think that there simply are none in the works yet. Very disappointing, since Agents of the Imperium like Inquisitors and their warbands arguably have the most potential for extremely characterful or imposing models.

It was always unlikely that agents was go8ng to get new minis.

There have been unsubstantiated rumors about sisters in Jan-Feb, but I'm going to stay skeptical-- we've been through this before. And got nothing.

GW would do much better building up hype if the released teasers for actual mini releases.

Starting probably at the LVO but definitely at adepticon we'll know the majority of their releases for 2017 so soon they'll be doing just that!

That's actually what I was hoping the book was like. I want to add small detachments to my existing armies. I am not looking to start a bunch of new armies, I just want to add a couple units of each to my collection. I like the aesthetics of the Grey Knights (they were almost my first army) and Sisters of Battle, this gives me the opportunity to pick up some models from those ranges and make use of them.

I don't know if you can answer this, but are any of the HQ units from those armies (Canoness, Watch Captain, Grey Knight Brother Captain or Grand Master) in the book? I am definitely hoping for a Brother Captain.

Small detachments are what I predicted as well, very few major changes from the original book, to allow for taking of these units in other armies.

GKTs and a Dreadknight, Kill Team and a Corvus, Canoness and a squad. Interestingly, all those sound like the core of a getting started box, with a couple other units added. Say a 5 man strike team and a terminator librarian for the GK, a second kill team and chaplain for deathwatch, and who knows for Sisters.

Here is the confirmation for that model:

Edit: Gah, got Ninjad!
