From the cinematic trailer I thought that this was going to be the first edition to c9me with 3 armies UM, SOB & Necrons.

Why do you think they went to the effort to put them in the trailer and not have them in the box?

Has there ever been a box without UM in it

Yes?

2nd Edition wasn't, I'm not even sure if it had any Chapter bias, 3rd was Black Templars and 6th/7th was Dark Angels.

Because a box only has 2 armies in it, obviously?

Non-marine Imperial factions will never star in a box like this, because they're not marines and the opfor has to be non-Imperial. I don't think anyone else expected SoB to be in the starter box, though we've swiftly been promoted to one of the more common center-stage factions, which is nice.

Having that level of prominance in the trailer and subsequently is a great step forward -and we know GW is trying to make sure they are more diverse as well so its a bright future at the moment.

Equally there is no Cadian trooper

Really hope they are in the novel tie in / lore book and will be released in due course with the initial Sisters Start Collecting box .

There will be a new style starter, w Primaris + codex/rules, then Necron + codex/rules, then Sororitas + codex/rules. then as new sculpts are added to factions they'll receive similar treatment.

They're women, and they have new, very expensive kits GW wants to sell. It's a win/win to put them in the trailer and to put them on the website for the new edition.

Whether they'll actually get anything more than a token appearance in a trailer (and on the website) is anybody's guess.

I wouldn't be that surprised if GW created an "expansion pack" for the starter set with some extra Necron and SOB to make a larger collection of models.

Because they've gone to the trouble of updating rules for aircraft, and because the Admech release contained and aircraft, I think sisters might be in line for one of those somewhere down the line.

Maybe some heroes who aren't Order of Our Martyred Lady.
Our army is already in pretty good shape, so I'd be curious what we would get if they expanded us.

Aircraft, Super-Heavy and light scouting vehicle are all unfilled niches.

GW said that everything in the trailer will get a model somewhere. That means, yes, we will get female Cadians.

The trailer: Advertising in general.

The box: Because it was ALWAYS going to contain 2 armies - Space Marines vs {enemy of the Imperium}. SoB are not Space Marines & they are not enemies of the Imperium. So they have no place in the box.

Not to mention heavy infantry, cavalry equivalent, heavy APC(ala landraider), infiltrators, etc. Sisters are fine but still very sparse as an army. There's tons of expansion that could be done. Think about that fact that we only have 1.5 FA options (dominions are terrible since they took the nerf bat to the face).

Space Marines and Sororitas won't be getting new codexes for a good few years.

Sororitas maybe not, but marines? Marines will have a new dex before the year ends.

The only case in which i see them not receiving a new dex, is if they can register to the app using the bar code of the current dex.

If not, do you really think that GW would make a codex App and leave Marines out of it?


Also... I like my Dominions... (Actually, If i'm picturing correctly the 9th meta as it is shaping reveal after reveal, they will be one of our best models)

I'm not sure even GW would update the codex for one faction twice in two years, especially when the first one had a slew of related supplement books.

They have already said that Marines are gettting a new Codex soon, It would seem most likely to be one of the two immediately after launch with Necrons - partly cos Marines and partly as there are a huge number of new units not in the main Codex.

The supplement books should not need updating however?

I would like a few more units for Sisters myself but not really wanting to buy another Codex yet.

The problem is not being able to scout while in vehicles. Without it, giving them anything expensive is asking for trouble. Putting a meltagun on a dominion at the moment is basically giving away 23 points. If repressors come back in vogue due to the new vehicles rules they could be really solid again, even without scout. Until then, they're mostly only usable as a stormbolter delivery system if you happen to have 58pts leftover.

Why? GW could release a new sisters book in July and as long as it has some new models most people will just roll their eyes before opening their wallet.

I personally expect a new sisters codex before the end of the year.

People always say they want novices or frateris militia or w/e, but all that ends up doing is pushing battle sisters right out of the game. As much of a burden as it is to only have BSS for troops, at least the army still LOOKS really good. Not guardsman with Fleur de lis and robes.

The only way that would happen is if 10th edition comes out in december.

Every sisters of battle codex EVER has come out just before the end of an edition.

They likely will never release a box with kore then 2 factions. The idea is always that you could go with a friend and essentially split the cost of starting a new army or getting into the hobby. Making the basic core concept having to split 3 ways significantly reduces the pool of people you are seeking to

Novices are in Kill team but as they wear Power armour there would not be a lot of difference so am am abivilant about them - however slightly different stats and models would be ok and like with the other SOB units I mentioned keep the Sisters theme.

Personally I want a few female Priests as well.

Personally I wouldn't be mad if they ported Predators, landraiders and Vindicators over to Sisters but chapelified them.

Would be a shame to let those models go to waste when minimarines go legends.

Maybe add stalker/hunters. I think it would be fine if sisters got AA weaponry but didn't get aircraft. But if they did I think valkarie would be cool.

They would have to redesign them as they did with Rhino/exorcist/Immolator so unlikely to get all - plus Ad Mech should also have them.

Space Marines will be getting one of the first new dexes this year for sure. They have a ton of new units for both a codex release and in the boxset.

Yeah, absolutely! The Sisters should inherit the mimimarine vehicles. Just add an upgrade sprue and they're good to go.

Primaris Reivers can also apparently ride in a valkyrie(in lore), so dont know why Sororitas cant use all of the guard support vehicles(dont need tanks when you got meltamissles) if the reasoning is due to power armour.

I really wish you could get dominions downfield easily & they really need some mounted cavalry. Insane biker nuns wielding chainswords is something I think we can all agree on!

Being able to use a vehicle doesn't mean that you should have it.

Having a vehicle in your army means having the logistic organization to keep it working, from tehnicians that know how to maintain it to a regular supply of spare parts. The guards get to use all those vehicles because the imperium administration somehow manages to make all the parts and technicians move around the galaxy as needed, but an order of sisters cannot simply decide to add those vehicles to the armoury, they would need to be put in imperium logistic organization, and changing anything in that administration requires centuries.

The reality is that GW took a risk with the SoB line, and wanted to ensure that it had continued spotlight and sales. All of this stuff for 9th was done before SoB went on sale and before GW knew how successful they were going to be, which all signs point to "Very!"

So keeping the hype up (And it was very Cool!) all helps contribute to that.

I meant GW need to redesign the models not in universe
