It was a Space Marines supplement that was the Traitors Legions of its time. It came out a while ago.

Judging from the price is the Imperial Agents softcover?

The Canoness being a limited edition really bothers me. How hard will these be to get? There's no GW store in my town, though there's a store selling GW stuff... Can these be bought via the webstore? If it is really based on the Blanche art I need at least two (one to keep as she is, one to convert.)

From what I've been told you can order through your FLGS?

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.

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.

I only really expect to see around 3 datasheets from each faction. Though many of these armies share things like Rhinos answer whatnot, so it doesn't sound too implausible that there would be the datasheet for that as well. But you're right, it almost sounds like some Get Started boxes are in order for some of these armies. I want a Brother Captain instead of a Librarian though.

I've sent an email to my trade rep at GW to get as much info as possible.

Hardcover

Codex Supplement: Angels of Death? I take it it's a softcover version?

I'm pretty sure it was already Softcover.

*Goes to check* Yup, already a Softcover.

Why is the new Cannoness, resin?
I thought GW didn't do resin anymore.

So Codex Supplement: Angels of Death is now being released as hardcover?

It's the French version.

I have neither an FLGS nor a GW store within an hour of me, is there any chance it will be sold online, or am I going to have to wait and pay triple from eBay?

Because it's a limited edition one and based of Blanche artwork so a probably guess would be that it's a resin sculpt of this:

I get what it's probably based off.
Just odd that it's resin and limited edition.

GW has done at least three limited edition resin miniatures this year.

They have been doing a few limited edition models, recently.
100th store Marine, etc.

I (not so) secretly pray it is based in this instead:

They have been doing that lately. Remember that Plasma emplacement or the void generator?

Bad examples since they were terrain and not traditional resin.

Also, those were a while back.

I love that Blanche artwork. One of their most iconic images.

I hope not-- that is by far the worst official artwork for Sisters ever released-- but I suspect you are correct.

I'm going to be speaking some heresy right now but I really hate Blanche artwork, it's over the top and quite ridiculous in proportions of people. I do like the artwork for locations though, like the artwork for Commoragh. People on the other hand look quite ridiculous imo.

This is especially true of his attempts to draw women. While I don't want to turn this in to another "bash Blanche's terrible 'art'" thread, he's basically GW's version of Rob Liefeld, except without Liefeld's enthusiasm for the media and the people who work it (his one good aspect).

The anatomy may be cartoonish.
But Blanche's artwork epitomises 40k for me.

That is an insult to cartoons.

Blanche's art encapsulates the essence of 40K. The man is a genius.

So should I not bother starting adepta sororitas Army I was hoping Plastic models were coming or a codex,To be honest not even sure if it possible to get a codex wanted to make them my first army.

I have to agree Blanche is so overrated it is unreal, he is another piece of deadwood that should be cut loose like Merritt. Add JJ and you get the triumvirate of what is holding GW back.

Rumor has it-- and I stress this is merely a rumor, and we know absolutely nothing about it nor have any confirmation nor real evidence of its truth-- that there will be a Sisters codex in the first few months of next year, along with potentially plastic miniatures.

I use that long caveat because frankly I don't believe it, myself, but time will tell. It's not that far away.

Ok here is a semi plausible scenario.
1- GW releases fun new rules for old AOS minis, sales increase 1000% (rules sell armies, who knew?)
2- GW thinks why not do that for 40k too.
3- OK thousand sons are coming how about a chaos book.
4- Cool what about marine players?
5- well how about a book of allies for them.
6- Good idea. We're doing sister next year. If we throw them in too people will double dip.
7- great but we don't have any minis to go with this.
8- hmm, we can't do anything plastic in time so why not do a resin mini. How about a canoness.
9 but we've got a plastic canoness coming next year.
10- no problem, make it a limited edition special character, people will buy both.
