That's what I thought he meant too.

Ah, fair enough. Well where I'm at I should be seeing the iTunes version no later than 10pm since the US releases are on EST time. So not so late for me.

But still far behind the UK's releases.

Well for the Aus guys it should be at around 10am as that is 12am UK time

Or, you know, we could exercise some sort of self-control... oh feth it, I know I'd start reading as soon as it popped myself, I'm just on US East Coast time.

Go to be early and set your alarm for then!

I'm in Japan, I have no fething idea when it'll be out in my time so I'll just wait until I hear you guys reading it and then I'll buy it.

I just keep refreshing the My Downloads page.

Just so long as no one puts a countdown clock on this thread and sends us all mad

I need to go get my credit card today so I can buy it when it comes out… or not buy it if your feedback says it sucks. And I won't have to stay up late because I'm going out for some movies anyway tonight, and I won't be back before midnight. The movies end around 11:30, but the way home is quite long, especially so late at night !

Oh noes, I'm a raving lunatic now !
Wait, I don't feel any difference. What could that possibly means ?

Ha. Still some hours to go, bud. I don't think that the GW Digital people will feth up that badly. 11pm UK time will be the time to start mashing f5.

I've always been more interested in new models than the actual books, but this got me pretty excited.

Waiting the day of release is always the hardest.

Is it for the iTunes version? I was thinking that it is one hour less...

This has been a real slooooow week.

After midnight would someone kindly post a heads up of the changes to the old codex. I'm not asking for specific details. Something more along the lines of "some of the point costs changed, and they added flakk missiles" type of thing. I don't play sisters I'm just curious.

Brilliant. Someone needs to update the first post with this!

So we're having a countdown for... the ability to purchase almost the exact same codex you already own for an additional 35$ and that you can now buy the same models you already own but in a non-optimized over-costed boxset on the GW store?..

Sign me up!

Almost the exact same codex except for:
- Points changes
- unit changes
- New relics
- Warlord Traits
- New Fluff
- New Artwork
- Apocalypse Formations
- Missions
- Changes to the faith mechanic

So yeah, almost exactly the same except for those major changes.

Oh and no one is forcing you to buy models through 1-click. The separate models are still there if you don't like the 1-click loadouts. Don't let that keep you from grinding that axe though!

Quit being dense Kirasu, it's not "almost the exact same" codex, it's a lot longer for one.

And that box set is the same cost as the models already are, so they aren't anymore overcosted then they already where.

So would you kindly stuff it? We've already been hounded about all of that and really don't care. We're getting something which tends to be a lot better than the nothing we've been getting. GW is at least trying to show us some level of support (when is the last time Sisters got to hog the front page of the website again? I know it wasn't in 2011 as that was focused on the Fantasy release that came out at the same time). So please take your rainy parade somewhere else, we're allowed to be excited and if we end up depressed and morose because if it, then it's just our fault.

And we're now in the range of "4 hours and less". Weeeee.

Thank god I'm in school. Gives me something to pass the time while I wait.

Downloading now. And you guys laughed at my constant refreshing.

There goes any work I was hoping to do for the rest of the day.

I'll start live blogging in a second.

Warlord Traits
1) Fear
2) 5+ Shield of Faith for Warlord's Unit
3) Reroll DTW
4) Rage
5) 12" Warlord Leadership bubble for Act of Faith or War Hymns
6) Stubborn

I can't get my copy yet. iTunes hasn't started selling it yet. D:

Well I'm curious for the changes mostly myself.

Army Special Rules:
Acts of Faith are Leadership Test now.
All units with Shield of Faith have Adamantium Will
If a Martyrdom unit dies, all units with Act of Faith special rule pass all Leadership tests until end of your next turn.

No mention of faith points. You can just do your act every turn for a leadership test.

Canoness AOF is Hatred in either Assault Phase.
AoF not limited to your turn.

Command Squad gets Fleet, Crusader, MTC AOF.

Priests can use War Hymns at beginning of Sub Phase for one effect
- Priest and unit Reroll all failed armor and invul until end of phase
- Smash special rule for priest
- Priest and unit gets reroll to wound

Holy gak, priests are good?

Holy Gak that all looks decent!

DCA and Crusaders are limited to Swords now.

Acts of Faith are Leadership Test now.
[...]

Now THAT is a pretty powerful rule, compared to the previous Martyrdom rule. And people said my fandex's rules were overpowered! They were tame compared to this

Celestians get Furious Charge and is only on Friendly assault phase.

Repentia get 3+ FNP for either player's assault phase.

Battle Sisters get Preferred Enemy AOF, no regroup version.

Dominions get Ignores Cover AOF, no more twin link. Still have scout.

Dominions ignoring cover. Maybe they're trying to make stormbolter dominions useful? But they'll still have to compete with meltas.

Retributors keep rending. One use only. NERF.

Holy crap, all acts of faith are once per game. That's a nerf.

You can only use a unit's Act of Faith ONCE PER GAME. Not once per turn...

Celestine only stands up once now...

Jacobus no longer gives extra attacks... my epub doesn't even have the Kyrinov entry, starts it then it skips the rest.

Everything I'm seeing is a nerf.... (Celestine and all characters went up in points)... EXCEPT Exorcists who just got cheaper, ha...

Seraphim reroll invuls still, but not faith checks. Get Shred in Shooting Phase AOF
