It would be great I love the SoB and the background.

But the models...well you know.

If they got a nice revamp, and Ward was locked in a big crate while people work on the codex,then I'd drop my Chaos army like a hot brick.

word had it that the guy that worked on the SW book is doing the SoB book

Yeah, that's Phil Kelly. That rumor's been around a while now, and it seems likely. I really like that, since he does good work.

Indeed and that was a good book.

I'm planning on building a Sisters of Silence counts-as SOB army. There are a lot of DE bits that will work for certain parts, but hopefully the SOB will provide me with the bits to complete the kit bash.

Well the rumor of multi types in a box is very plausible since DE and GK troops came with a boatload of weapon options. I hope its 10 like SW.

What would people think if this was the boxed set:

1 Sister Superior, 9 Battle Sisters

8 Bolters
1 Bolt Pistol, Inferno Pistol
1 CCW, Praesidium Protectiva, Brazier of Holy Fire
2 Heavy Flamers, 1 Meltagun, 1 Storm Bolter
1 Heavy Bolter, 1 Multi-Melta
1 Simulacrum Imperialis

That's 17 bodies worth of weapons, the same as the Wyches, and would let you build one Retributor squad for every Dominion or Battle Sister squad.

At this point I'll buy anything that's plastic and has boobs on it...er...wait nvm that's exactly what I meant to say.

I still look through my WH codex.

No matter what they do with the sisters, I am starting an army. Just has to be affordable!

I think the sisters should get something based on the repressor chassis. Its heavy, mean looking, and would be able to be refit for an MBT role with autocannons/lascanons, or a Baal predator role, with Infantry shredders. Also, plastic sisters, with options akin to the DC box.

That could work out quite well.

They'd need to have bitz for sarissas then, or SOMETHING that lets Sisters enter close combat. As it is, the only real dedicated close combat unit Sisters have is... wait, they DON'T have one. Even seraphim are more used for repeatedly hit and run to tie enemies up than anything else.

Celestians SHOULD have been an assault unit but Graham McNeil didn't exactly do a very good job writing C:WH... making Celestians into a unit with close combat stats and abilities but shooting-oriented weaponry.

That woudl be terrible as I would have to buy multiple kits to produce 1 squad of 4 heavy bolters o rmultimeta's. Thats the point of a 5 girl kits. You coudl put 2 of every one in and buying two kits nets rounded options for all sqaud types. It works for Grey Knights who don't have a "devastator kit"

Two Infernus pistols, Two flame pistols, Meltagun, Flamer, And a maybe anti psyker rifle? That would be awesome.

Hopefully celestine will make the seraphim troops.

If these rumours are true then you could magnetize your army to be fully interchangeable between seraphim, celestians and normal sisters.

No, it doesn't work for Grey Knights, because it makes them the second most obscenely expensive basic troops choice in the game (4 pounds per model), second only to the current metal Sisters. You have to buy multiple kits anyway, so that you can build your compulsory troops choices - you can't build an army of just Retributors.
