Umm. So much wrong here. The problems sisters have really have very little to do with warlord traits. Secondly, they are still competitive now, even without warlord traits.

Thirdly, I can't wait for the screams of rage when Celestine gets the Scoring Warlord Trait as her default.

Kinda strange they would update it so 'people can begin a collection' when there's essential models like Seraphim Superiors still missing from the webstore.

This is the company that re-released Apocalypse with limited edition template and blast markers (which really are essential). So not that strange, really.

Not to mention that there is at least one SS in the webstore:

Well not for us Euro chaps, sadly.

I've also got my suspicions about that Chapter Approved stamp on there. Would that really be on a digital codex release? I thought those were just for White Dwarf stuff? Surely, a digital codex would itself be valid?

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a fake. Do DE really have Carnosaur cavalry?

Meh. It's better than nothing and at least any new SOB players can actually have rules now from GW itself and not some random torrent from who knows where. Adding a warlord trait table is a nice addition..but it still doesn't save the codex from itself. Meh. It's still outclassed by every 6th edition book.

No but they do have Cold One Knights.

And is the new thing called a War Hydra or just a Hydra?

War Hydra in the WD leak.

Okay, so I feel a bit better.

The cover image still looks dodgy to me though. Compared to the recent digital covers it does not stand up well.

Is this another attempt by the Centurion Gobots guy?

I'd like to believe it's real, but yes...Eldarain makes a good point.

I'm fairly happy to call this real, I understand the reservations, but the text alongside really scans well as typical White Dwarf language and syntax, that would be possible, but much harder to fake than just the image.

It definitely is real, had the WD in my hands today.

For reals? So BA is listed with a digital as well?

Not sure it's real. Note the use of Dark Heresy artwork, and the misspelling of "Adepta Sororitas".

AFAIK it was originally Adeptus Sororitas in German and English, until this botch in Latin became too ridiculous even for GW and they changed it.
Here the original cover of the 2nd edition Sisters Codex in German to prove that once Adeptus Sororitas was the official version, at least in Germany:

Right, that and the fact it's from a third-party, Fantasy Flight. I don't think that GW lifts art from other companies who've borrowed its IP as codex cover art.

Yep, I'm going to say this is a fake. A stop-gap between our stop-gap would have been very nice (warlord traits would have been amazing), but I'd prefer a real codex over anything, so I'm indifferent about not getting one of these.

Now to figure out which format is easiest to print to PDF.

Yeah, actually I found the BA digital codex a bit more surprising than the Sororitas one

I'll be pleasantly surprised. Adding the BA book is a good move too since it's likely far down the update list and this way they can sell digitals to people twice

Second fav chapter is BA would love for them to have an update! Once paid for cant you just download it to a USB, take it to Kinko's and have them print it in color on some nice thick paper and spiral bound it. It should run close to 20-25 bucks to get it done.

Im torn between buying the digital release so I have it,use it, read it. But knowing that it "would" be hardback copy months later and would rather have a hardback copy. I don't want to buy it twice dang it, for I know I would! This has only happened once but it was annoying going to the game store and pulling out your army, only to find out that your codex(e-reader) is dead. "Oi! Does anyone happen to have their Nook specific charger on them?" *dead silence* Ok its cool, just um...hey I brought my fantasy army, lets play that instead.

I'm going to buy the digital, convert it and print it. Then, if a hardcover comes out, I'll buy that too.

I'm a sucker.

Wait wot?! You mean they can have a leader that knows how to do the same thing from one battle to the next without rolling on a random table?! Madness I say. This game is now broken.

;-) Yeah was just being sarcastic. And I have a special hate for Warlord tables. But hey - Glad for Sister's players.

I believe Malthor. May the Emperor have mercy on my soul.

No worries, I understand any scepticism, but I wouldn't be so cruel as to toy with the feelings of Sororitas players after all they've been through.

By the way, does anyone know if the digital codice are English only?

If so, I know a Sisters player who will be happy and angry with GW at the same time

can anyone tell me if I can read one of these new fangled e-book tingies on a chromebook (which I'm picking up tomorrow).

I doubt we will see a hardcover version of this. I think this is more of a stopgap until GW redoes the line, they probably figure they can make some money having people buy the WD rules.

I'm 100% certain there will be no rules changes or point cost changes at all. They will just recycle old stuff because they need all the new stuff for the proper codex release (said to be late 2014).

So the codex will still suck compared to everything else, everything will be over costed and the warlord traits will probably be pretty bad as well.

GW has a tradition of letting us SoB players down and this wont be any different, I wont be buying this until I've downloaded it to see if anything is changed. I still have the WDs and a warlords table can easily be copied or simply written down on paper.

Release date/ month?
