So they moved all the SoB to Ministorum now. No explanation, just moved them whole sale. No new models from what i could see. Wonder why the name change, especially when they are still called Soritas in the Forge world book?

The Adeptus Ministorum is the term for the entire Imperial Church, of which the entirety of Adepta Sororitas is a part of.

So not a name change at all, just changing which is used (likely because Priests aren't members of the Sisterhood).

But under a different category and no announcement yet of new models.... so why?

Because they were reorganising everything to the new categories, and this was one of them. You'll notice there is no SKitarii or Cult Mechanicus anymore either.

It'd make it easier for them to create new ecclesiarchy models as well if they already have something in place for them.

Really, what are they under? Did they combine them Cult and Skitarii?

Yes, under Adeptus Mechanicus.

Okay, I can understand that, but what would they combine the SoB with. So far it is just them in there.

Penitent engines, priests and battle conclave stuff are specifically NOT SoB but ARE adeptus ministorum.

Sort of a 'every square is a rectangle but not every rectangle is a square' thing.

Call it a reclassification. It doesn't mean anything. At least they're not just rolling the sisters into something else, to let the people still hanging on to the sisters still have hope, after all these years.

I think they are just preparing for 8ed, for example stuff like Poxwalkers arn't on yet so I don't think they are placing new models for pre-orders.

They also added Phoenix Lord Asurmen to the Adeptus Ministorum section for a few rather amusing days, which is clearly a mistake so don't read too much in to this

It's just more pointless reorganizing.
