Guess you are not aware that Sororitas were released in blisters 2004 and that the boxes were released much much later.

Makes me a little proud to know that I've managed to collect something worth so much (at least to me).

If you think that GW prices represent a real world value, reconsider the pile of sand in the backyard:

I was refering to when the boxes went away, but nice job splitting hairs Kroot.

And as with everything, it only has value because we choose to accept that it does. That's how the world works and I don't need to be reminded all the time of this.

Had a quick count on mine.. 302 models.. I don't want to know how expensive that is now. Luckily I got most of mine off Ebay.

GW never fails to disappoint me. when i was praying to the Emprah, I wanted plastic models to go with the new codex. instead they give us some ipad crap and expect us to use the old minis. does anyone know if there are new minis in the pipeline or should i just say language !it and go play infinity and other mini games? i was really exited for the new codex, because usually when they put out a new codex there are new minis to go with it. Or will it be that the day they come out with new minis will be the day the emperor comes back from being a vegetable and plows everyone?


also aint nobody got dimes for that. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat440161a

I like how they present bundles..

New releases of old models! But now saving you time clicking!

I broke and figured my Sisters out. Not sure if it makes me feel better or worse that my Sisters army is worth more than my FW Legion army... See attachment, in pound sterling.

If the digital codex sells well then plastic kits come a stage closer

(GW staff now say they have the tech to make them which has been one of the major hold ups in the past)

but there was never any realistic prospect of them showing up for a cheap (by GW standards) digital only re-jig of a WD codex

so buy this and hope to see a full new codex in a couple of years time complete with new plastic kits

I added up all of my sister stuff at current prices a year or two ago and I gave up up once I hit 2K

I have actually bought sisters from my local GW I've been collecting for so long.

I have also bought a bunch on ebay for a hefty discount over the years

It makes me sad that most Sisters players on here have had to spend upwards of £1400 on their armies...

Kroothawk wrote:Guess you are not aware that Sororitas were released in blisters 2004 and that the boxes were released much much later.

I dunno, this is from 2004.
And in 2003 the blister at least had 6 models.

Not sure how it was earlier - it's kinda hard navigating the ever-changing GW site on the Wayback Machine.


And for everyone hoping for plastic kits, keep in mind that this has nothing to do with their pricing. If GW *wanted* they could make metal SoB cost as much as metal Valhallans or Mordians. If GW *wanted*, they could also make plastic SoB cost as much as plastic Space Marines. Guess which of these options would be more expensive?

Pre-orderd mah iBook yay! More fodder for reading in the bathroom or when at the coffee shop drinkin' dem soy mochers.

You shouldn't be sad about that, you should be sad about how low the comparative model count is.

I choose Warmachine with some nice guns, military cap and cigars trollbloods with a bad attitude (mainly a lot of showing middle fingers ), but I guess Infinity will do just as well.

Probably, but don't expect them for a while yet.

Nah, I probably have a comparable collection to CZ (with less forgeworld and superheavies). I'm just lazy.

Yeah, mine isn't truly that many. It is just really old. My first buy was the SOB box set that came with the shrine and tons of sisters back in 1998. Most of it past that has been either: 1) Bitz Order from GW 2) Trading.

If I had to guess, I'd say 100 total sisters, 6 or so Immos, 3 Exos, 5 or so Rhinos, Stern, all the priests and hangers on, 80 or so Redemptionists (including The Redeemer!), 20-30 Battle Conclave, etc so on. No repentia and no penitent engines. Oh and that doesn't count trade stock. Probably another 40-50 sisters there.

Boxed sisters have been around for probably 15 years at least. I bought mine when they still had boxed sisters sets (at the time they were cardboard sleeves around styrofoam 'boxes').

Ah, those styrofoam boxes.. I remember those They were awesome for super cheap (and ugly looking) ruins. The good old times.

Yeah, just hit them with grey spray paint and they decayed just about right.

I was actually thinking of picking up a very basic sisters force from my FLGS. They give me 20% off. I still may, now that I think about it.


But from GW? You can forget that noise. $80 for one far from optimized troop choice (really? a storm bolter?...) is downright crazy.

I'd probably even consider it if it were 9 bolter sisters and a superior....but they couldn't even do that right.

These one-click things are going to blow up the world, a la planet of the apes! Mark my words!

Keep in mind that a lot of FLGS do not give discounts on direct only.

Protip, don't buy the one-click bundle. Just buy the sisters separately, you get the loadout you want that way. Oh and Storm Bolters make great combi-weapons.

They are an option for people who can't be arsed to add them manually. It is really not that big a deal.

I'm sure its been discussed already but, this will be the first digital codex I will have picked up. I don't own a tablet, but was planning on downloading this to my PC. Which format/eReader is recommended? Thanks!

Anything that can read ePub files. Just google ePub reader and you'll find something.

Also, you are allowed to print out one copy for personal use. If you read the terms in the preordering page, it says so near the begining. So it doesn't really matter if you own a tablet or not.

My shop does. He's pretty cool like that.

I guess I'm just miffed because this 'one-click bundle' is a basic sister squad. You're right of course that it makes far more sense to grab everything separately, but they are clearly trying to market a basic squad as some sort of bundle. As with most things GW does, this simply makes no sense, but I can't help but feel that they'll say 'see? That sisters squad one click isn't selling! This proves that a proper sisters box wouldn't sell!'

Also, I don't actually believe that one-click bundles are going to blow up the world. That was sarcasm.

They've used Saint Celestine to showcase SOB. Honestly that face is just awful.

£50 for a single squad? Holy gak they must not be expecting to sell many of them if they're charging that price.

It's like people are only just realising how much sisters cost....

Although it can't have been that way for too long, I am sure I was looking at sisters last year contemplating some project or something and they where at the £26-30 mark for ten. £50 is one heck of a jump in a year.

They've been this price since I can remember... since they stopped selling them in boxes... at least, I thought they had?

Yeah, it's been that way for at least 2 years.

Amusing typo on the GW Blog:

"Today is a joyous day for the faithful citizens of the Imperium, as the brand new Codex: Adepta Sororitas is available to download for iPad and eBook compatible devices."

Made me go to Blacklibrary and check to see if it was available yet...
