I would buy some sisters just to support the line. I have all the other factions . And somewhere around 15,000 points of IG. I would like to start another Imperial faction. Sister might be fun.

And yet people say it's unfair to point out how often Sisters players complain about their army.

Something I spotted in the Dark Millennium book (new artwork):

Priests and Seraphim fighting Chaos (with tentacles in the background). I'm willing to guess that it may show up in the eventual update for the Sisters.

And I gave the few shots of Sisters models in the picture book they included, and no, I didn't see a single model that looked new to me there. So if there are new models they're playing that close to the chest.

Pft. You know full well that there used to be more complaining in the past.

The problem is so many gave up on the army that it'll need something damn good to turn things around.

Yeah I just saw that image and thought - thats very very nice

I really like the current model range but I would love even more for some new Sisters and vehicles to add to my army.

crossed fingers time

I'm not really playing any tabletop games right now but I'd purchase some plastic sisters (provided I liked the new models). But I have to agree that lack of availability on GW's site doesn't necessarily equate to imminent release.

By the way, here's a question: Since the Sisters of Battle are the chamber militant of the Ecclesiarchy, what's the chamber militant of the Ordo Hereticus? Is there one?

grey knights for malleus and hereticus.

Ordo Xenos is death watch

This has happened so many times... it's hard to be optimistic about it...

I haven't played since right after 6th came out... not buying another damned GW product till I get my new codex and models. Period.

I just hope the new SoB model range won't be overly sexualized.

Considering the WH:F releases, I don't think that's much of a problem. Dark Elves are always light when it comes to clothing, but the high elves and wood elves females look very nice.

Besides, 40k isn't a good universe for the sisters of battle to suddenly start wearing chain mail bikinis or striking pin-up poses. I honestly like cheesecake, but 40K's SoB are way too cool for that and I don't think GW is that crazy yet

The boobplate is nonsense, though.

In the sense that each breast has it's own pocket, yes. Something more like Mass Effect's female armour (which shows a female figure and even a bit of the shape of the bust but doesn't go full on boob pockets) would be better if they feel the need to keep the boob shape.

TiamatRoar wrote:

It fits with their aesthetic, it's not nonsense.

Though I wouldn't mourn its loss, as long as it was swapped out for something that also fitted that Sob aesthetic. As I've said before, an ornate, knightly chestplate would work.

Going to call it now. Plastic sisters will be everything the player base is asking for and more, lots of options, lots of bits, but will probably be the same price as scions. $35US for 5 models.

OT though, certain kits in the IG section went OOS before the AM update had them restocked. Not sure if this is the case, as Orks are on tab sometime this month. I guess June's release might be AS?

Well, nah. If plastic Sisters were that imminent we'd probably already have heard about it via rumours by now. Also note that GW was happy to leave the Brets with several missing models for quite some time, so there's a chance that this won't spur them on all that much.

Though it does give us an excuse to send lots of emails asking what's up. Might get an interesting response.

Yeah the box will make 4 Sister of Battle casualty markers and a single regular Sister.

On her knees praying for mercy.

I'll be honest, at this point I just want a definitive answer.

Gak or get off the pot GW. Squat them or do a full update. I'm tired of waiting.

I would certainly welcome the 20%-50% cost reduction

The 3 pack blister of bolt gun sisters was way under $7/model.

Guessing the new kit will have 1 of each heavy/special weapon option. Maybe they will make it a 10 sister kit for $60 with 1 of every heavy special weapon instead, but my bet is still on 5 for $35.

And a 2nd kit of Seraphim that's $50 for 5.

Sister players love being martyrs, and the blood of their wallets is good for GW's bottom line.

Well, the total lack of any type of FAQ about Adeptas Sororitas in this new edition (the only exception in all codex, mini codex and suplements of it) made me think "gosh, GW squated the sisters!!!". Now, with the line getting out of the shelves, very silently indeed, im almost sure of it...

Almost, because i really hope im wrong... I really want this to be a revamp, maybe a "big surprise" before, or after the orkz...

But guys, i dont believe it...

http://natfka.blogspot.ca/2014/05/more-7th-edition-faqs-incoming-for.html

According to this rumor, we will get an FAQ next month. Remember to take this with salt.

@Dwarf Wolf
GW are claiming that there is an SoB FAQ on the way.

http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/more-7th-edition-faqs-incoming-for.html?m=1

Edit: oooh, ninja'd!

Other thing: There are stuff saying "no longer available" and stuff saying "Temporarily out of stock"...

I do want to believe...

No way... the 10 BSS pack is $8 a model. The individual special weapons were $12-14. Having bits that would allow one model to become a special weapons model or a regular can only knock that price down even if the resulting price is still way higher than other armies.

SoB are too ingrained in the fluff to be dropped, this says imminent (as in in the next year) release to me.

Even GW wouldn't want to have to hear thousands (seriously what 20-30 max?) of SoB girlyboys gnashing their teeth for ever more on the web. Hang on that would be no change from now? .

I keed, I keed.

Jes Goodwin isn't going to let a range that he likes so much die off. I don't think even GW are daft enough to piss him off. I figure they've finally crack the moving hair aesthetic vs. plastic kit thing he had talked about.

Baroque S&M Space Nuns (with helmets/no hair) here we come!

Are you completely sure?

I did hear rumours some time ago (we're talking about 7-8 years ago, when I worked in a store) that GW had been very close to re-directing a hive fleet to consume the Dark Eldar. This was before they decided to get behind Jes Goodwin et al for that stunning re-launch, after many years in the duldrums for that force.

This was my forum avatar for the best part of 10 years, before I gave up waiting for another force that was similar in that there were a group of fans waiting for a return:



My impression is that the GW of 2014 is far more likely to retire a race/faction than the GW of the late 90's. They won't overtly have them eaten by Tyranids any more and say "tough, lol, get with the program", instead it will be allowed to quietly wilt in the background while the work experience boy knocks together new codex download rules every couple of years for as long as the moulds last.

I hope for the sake of the SoB fans that I'm 100% wrong, and another Jes Goodwin masterpiece is in the works, but I'm warning that there is a precedent for this kind of thing.

Are you insane? Everyone knows that things with boobs cost more. Now, imagine an army that is 95% boobs! That $35 US for five Sisters is probably going to be spot on, and not for their specialty units but for just the basic Sisters. Yes, that second kidney is going to be looking rather expendable.

Squats were, lets he honest and I say this as a fan of the RT Squat range, a creative deadend. Literally Dwarves in Space.

The only thing that made them differant was their warmachines in Epic and that's well covered these days with big kits for other factions.

SoB have their niche and aesthetic set out which is entirely their own so I'm not seeing the same lack of expansion room that Squats had.

I want to believe. I have faith in a future revamp. Maybe not next month, but.. next year?
