Haha! yup, also reading dakka!

Well I'll be damned. Here I was expecting a simple copy & paste with a single new table, and now they announced this? Praise the Emperor!

Also, dat artwork. <3

It's quite good, but maybe a little too escher girl for me. The background is cool, the two sisters at the back are cool, the front sister is cool from the shoulder up, but the rest is strangely distorted, and the pose quite don't make sense. Why the hell is she walking both sideway and away from where is is shooting ? Why don't she look at where she is going ? That's never too good an idea to go around without looking when the whole battlefield is on fire !
It's a little sad because if they had just given her lower body a sensible pose, the cover would have been AWESOME !

I do really like that cover art, though. It suits the Sisters nicely. And it seems to be a new piece of artwork to boot, nice to see them putting in the effort and not just recycling older artwork.

Yeah, I'm glad to see new art. Also like that piece, have very few complaints about it mostly the use of lipstick and the thinness, but that's probably just an aesthetic difference rather than an artistic complaint-- it's definitely leagues better than much of the older art.

True. But it's still better than the Blanche cover.

Had they given her this pose, I would be so happy right now. It was so close !

That cover is beautiful! GW knocked it right outta the ballpark.

At least you cannot see her butt... most comic depictions of female characters break their spines and try to show breasts AND butts at the same time.

This one is not perfect, but at least they don't go the mentioned way.

1,146 Likes! Woo!

I've just checked the pose she is in (with the time honoured method of standing up and trying to fit into the same pose, probably looked hilarious ) and assuming she is resting her left foot on something raised (like a pile of heretic skulls or something, this is GW) it does actually work. To me the model looks like its static, not walking forwards, and just been forced to target an enemy who isn't directly in front of her, hence the change in stance. Personally, I would have thought looking where you are firing is more important than looking where your body is facing, especially if you don't even seem to be walking.

and in just over 2 hours too they probably weren't expecting it to be that quick.

Well they said "by the end of the day". I don't know what schedule their on, but it's been achieved, now they just need to get their butts in gear and release info.

Preferably more than just the cover. Or else we may see a zealous mob form.

Cover is nice and very well done, if somewhat bland and boring. Needs more skulls, grit and general insanus, really. Heretic on a stick is a nice touch, though.

True. But it's still better than the Blanche cover.

I bet if we start a campaign, they might release this edition with an alternate Blanche art cover.

boooh

I'm interested in the fluff that will come with it. I want more detailed and specific history, practices, organization, etc.

And maybe less dying in droves. They seem to do that a lot.

That cover is awesome!

That is a pretty nice cover.

When did the Sororitas get grimly cute, though?

The moment they became women in a game dominated by younger male players?

If you're any organization and you're producing propaganda/posters/information that goes out to the masses, do you put the person who got hammered with the ugly club or the good looking one on the cover?

And I think 'cute' is the wrong adjective. Unless facial scars are 'cute' now.

Also, 'Ecclesiarchy Relics'? Return of a decent wargear section?

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Maybe we'll get a S8 cc weapon ! I won't count on it though.

Since forever? YMMV

Wow great cover - loving it

Agree, pressed "Like" and looking forward to the 19th.

It's certainly based on the White Dwarf Sisters of Battle Codex, but with new additions to bring it in line with the new books. Things like Warlords table, new Ecclesiarchy Relics and an Altar of War.
There's also new artwork and an expanded background section.

Fantastic!!! I'm bloody excited by this. Not only do we get lots of 6e stuff, but new artwork and what sounds like substantial additions to the fluff. Cannot wait to get ahold of this.

Same. Hell, just on that initial Facebook post, they claimed that they'd been "inundated" with questions about this digital codex. Very positive sign.

 Melissia wrote:
mostly the use of lipstick

Yeah, that bugs me as well. The website store models are painted like it too.

They're not only highly disciplined soldiers, but insanely devoted fanatics who make a point of forgoing any self-indulgence. I'm not seeing how lipstick would be considered something that they'd use.

Clearly, they were not prepared for the masses of the faithful who took interest.

Have you read their codex? They're the ones who do the asskicking. And the only SoB massacre in there, Santuary 101, gets one sentence devoted to it.

Looks like all the doomsayers were right: GW killed off the Sisters of Battle.

...


However, you can use all your old models as counts-as for your brand new Adepta Sororitas army! Well, all the ones that are still fieldable with the new rules. We'll find out in a few weeks. Not that I expect any to get left out in the cold, but there is always a chance with codex updates.
