Accidental post. Nothing to see here, just a man messing up on his tablet...

I honestly haven't been exposed much to the SoB, but I really like their concept. I love the way they looked and acted in the first DoW game. I would love to have some as allies for my Imperial Guard, but I wish they had less Mariney vehicles and weren't made out of metal. I hate metal ever since I started playing well over a decade ago with Battletech. The infantry models, however, look very, very nice.

It's all about waiting I suppose.

There is a rumour that Sisters units are slated to be released one at a time through the Munitorium Manuals for 99p per unit entry...

Is it sad I'd be okay with that? Just as long as SOME freaking forward momentum is achieved?

Then let's get sad together becase I too would be happy as long as we have some proof SoB haven't been forgotten for all eternity.

Munitorium Manuals? What're those?

A bit pricey for the real bling from the KS, but if you can swing it, the Lieutenant level supporter gets all sorts of nice prizes.

What exactly is it you get other than more of everything higher than lieutenant?

And I might be a KS noob, but how do I know what heroines I'm gonna get?
I've backed att Lt level, but I can't seem to specify anything.

Purifier at the Lt level you get ALL the freebies, which includes upgrades to certain models and kits, as well as five free heroines (so far) and a baby hippo. Your pledge level gives you X amount of funds to play with. As of Update 12 you can "spend" those funds on any combination of heroines, infantry and support you want. Your specific models will be selected in the post KS backer survey.

That was what I was looking for, thanks! So just wait until it closes, yes?

This, and the nuns-kickstarter probably, is gonna be my sisters army in the future.
I doubt I'm the only one thinking this way. I wonder how much GW has squandered here. I was ready to buy an easy 100 plastic sisters troop choices alone, not to mention all the seraphim and other special units.

I wonder wether this will just further hinder the possibility of GW ever releasing plastic sisters at all.

It just might. But then, with the updates from GW (that is to say none at all the past few years) who is to say they ever would.
Possibly something in the distant future maybe(?) vs something confirmed here and now... I'll take the confirmed, thank you very much.

I'm not even hooked here. If GW came out today and said "Q1 2014 we're releasing sisters plastics!" I'd instantly remove myself from this kickstarter.
Do you think that's likely to happen?

Of course I don't think it's likely.
and I'd do the same as you if I had the money to do so.
I don't have the money to buy either right now.

But if GW did release some, I'd start saving.

That's basically the boat I'm in. I usually reserve purchases from Raging Heroes and similar "boutique" ranges for ICs, either for wargaming or standard RPGs, but I'm so very tired of waiting for GW to do something with the SOB product line.

So, I supported the KS to get these bits, which will probably be used primarily for an RPG, while supporting the studio for the upcoming "nuns" army.

Right?

Well I'll be damned...GW found a way to make DLCs.

Gah, the Seraphim w/ power sword model's no longer available (at least in the UK).

What are they anyway? Just fluffs or actual update to wargears, characters, units and codex? I'd assume the profile for shuriken catapult to be in the official codex, so what're they charging a quid for?

Well, according to the front page, Asmodai is meant to come with some rules. I'm assuming what that means, anyway. The information page is very vague.

Hmm? I can see one right here.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat660002a&prodId=prod1300059a&rootCatGameStyle=

But wasn't there one with a plasma pistol too, or am I imagining that?

Aye, the pics there, but under Availability is states 'No Longer Available', and there's no Add to Cart button, at least that shows up on my screen...

Dang, you're right. How odd.

Kyrinov and one of the Preachers is also like it.

Wonder why? It's not like those are the most popular units in the army.

Looks like all SoB models are avaliable on the American version of the site, though.

Not the best sight when I'd just started assembling a force :(

They probably finally sold out of stock on that one. >< I don't think they're casting more Sisters up at the moment, which means it's probably going to be gone on the UK site for a long time.

Well if they don't allow purchases they won't have to cast any up.

I don't like it...

Damn, I was right. There were two other Seraphim Superior models, both completely vanished from the UK site.

You might be able to get what you're after on ebay.

...Or the US GW site, if you're willing to pay £30 in shipping.

Ebay or the dakka swap shop is your best bet for Sisters stuff.

That's very disheartening. Stunned about seeing the missing models starting to dwindle.
