If all components of the formation fire on a single target, the "Wall of Fire" rule has them resolve this as a single attack with between 1d6 and 6d6 hits with various special traits and profiles, depending on the nature of the teams (3+ bolter, 3+ melta or 3+ flamer teams, or at least 1 of each).

For example, having at least 1 of each team types participate in this attack would give you 4d6 Hits with Strength 5, AP 3, Heavy 1, Melta and Ignores Cover.
Whereas having three or more Melta teams attack this way would give you 1d6 Hits with Strength 8, AP 1, Heavy 1 and Melta.

And if you use Divine Guidance you get Rending on top of all that.

Sky fire for Exorcist? One other Troop choice? Saint making Seraphim scoring/troops would be wicked!

I dont understand why people think Saint Celestine should make Seraphim troops, if anything she should make Repentia Troops as she used to be one herself. She never even reached the rank of Seraphim if I'm not mistaken.
If anything her presence should attract Repentia trying to follow in her footsteps desperately trying to find redemption.

Canoness with jump pack making Seraphim troops is a more acceptable fluff reason.

Repentia is outside of the rank structure. It's a place of honor and shame. We have no record of what Celestine was before she became a Repentia so for all we know she was a Palatine who failed hard.

On the topic of the Immolator being removed, one simple reason would be that currently, the Exorcist kit comes with all the parts to make an Immolator. It may be that GW is going to sell them both as a single kit. I hope I'm wrong, $57 for a Immolator?

Nah. I see it being reduced to an upgrade kit or brought back off of direct-order being more likely options.

Immo has only been available in a bag as it has been Direct Order Only for quite some time. Perhaps they're putting it in a box so as to allow Stores to stock them? We can hope the same could be said about a BS and Seraphim box as well, even if they're the same metal models we know and love? Just taking the line off DOO would do wonders to availability.

I seriously doubt they took it off the website for replacement, seems like a strange place to put the line in plastic by attacking the only plastic kit in it. Removing it from sales permanently makes less sense as they're releasing the Codex this month (no matter in what form) the purpose of which is to boost sales. My bet is they're just repackaging it.

Hearsay.

But it was at an official event, in a conversation with a developer. Not "a friend of a friend..." or "my sources tell me...". I guess evildrcheese could have been lying, but I don't see why he would. He seems like he geniunely likes the SoB.

I reported what Cruddence said to me, which was they'd be 'minor tweaking' to points and that the scaling issues for Faith Pounts had been looked at, but it is essentially an update to the WD dex. The only thing from what I reported previously that Cruddence himself didn't seem sure of was the release formats including whether this version would get a 'physical' release, which is when he said it'd probably be treated 'like a supplement' in that if it sells well it'd get a physical release. I then asked at the Digital Editions stand if it wouldd be available on Android as well as Ipad formats - which they confirmed.

No physical release then? That's annoying. I was hoping to start a sisters army after I finish my two xenos armies. :/

Probably no new minis, either, or even re-releases of old minis, unless I'm mistaken.

I noticed that the Immolator is back on the U.S. site. Also, if you go to the main Adepta Sororitas army page and click on the Immolator picture, it is listed as "Heavy Support". It is not listed under the "Heavy Support" tab though.

Very strange. Perhaps they are reorganizing the Sisters for the codex release?

Likely means nothing. It was HS in 3rd and despite shuffling things about they never updated all that stuff.

Uriah and Immolator are all back on the UK site now too. So the only thing missing from the old range is the Seraphim superior still. I think this means very little, probably something along the lines of the mould for the seraphim superior is knackered or they have run out of made stock.

Uraih never went missing on the US site so I was unaware of that one. However, Kyrinov is still missing.

Yep my mistake, I mixed them up. Kyrinov is still missing from the UK site....

At this point I'd bet the website people are just trolling us out of boredom.

Yeah they are just messing with us.

If they do add the Repressor, I hope the rules are better than the Forge World "updated" Repressor.

You got it: Tank Heaven For Little Girls in Proposed Rules includes alternative Exorcist ammo loads plus two new vehicles -- a modified Predator Infernus and the all-new Oriflamme Scout Tank -- and new Sororitas-unique vehicle upgrades and special rules.

Is that the one with AV13 front and firepoints - been pretty good in games I have played with it?

Sadly although I would welcome it I can't see them putting in rules for a Forge World model in a normal Codex?

I can only dream they add the FW repressor rules to the codex, they are very nice.

Why not? Some of the IG's stuff is FW.

Is it - hmm guess I am wrong then

Hopefully we will get it in the Codex - I remember it being pictured in the WD Codex but nothing else.

Griffon, Hydra...FW already has models that GW incorporated into the IG codex and has yet to release plastic kits for.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

Repressors still aren't main battle tanks, though.... Why do Marines & IG get them but we don't?

Cuz tanks are the IG's shtick?

I mean, we got the Exorcist. just give it some more options and I'd say we're good to go, especially with immo being a DT.

Medusa and Colossus too. There was the Manticore but that's got a plastic kit too now, along with the Vanquisher, Exterminator and Executioner Leman Russ variants- they all still have their original FW versions available too I think. Edit: missed valkyries- when I think about it, half the new units included in the 5th ed Guard codex were FW models at the time!

A MBT for Sisters would make sense to me, but I guess the lack of one just reflects how limited the range is in general tbh.

I think the Predator makes most sense as a Sisters of Battle tank given the general usage of the Rhino chasis......and its general flexibility.

still want a specialised Assault vehicles and a Valykrie variant though

There's a nice thread for wishlisting on SOB tanks over here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/556841.page

OK so Black Library's Blog has posted up some history about Adepta Sororitas publications including som spoilers about the new codex. While the minimum number of Battle Sisters in the troop unit has gone down, we are actually paying more points for 9 Sisters led by a veteran Superior. Bummer. Basic Sisters are still 12 points each sadly.
