I still don't believe that we're getting AdMech, and they're, what, two weeks away?

I was actually just thinking 'What if the Canary Trap was the Admech release...?'

We only have a few weeks to find out.

nightfury supports ad mech and he only supports stuff he's seen actual evidence of.

But if it is a canary trap I'm going to be really sad. I'd love an excuse to build Ad Mech. Plus red cloth is something I enjoy painting.

Some of the Sisters rumors by BoLS were extrapolation, others strike me as a bit weird (the 32mm and 50mm base kits namely).

I could easily see Sisters getting some sort of Centurion equivalent.

Please don't say things like that. They might hear you...

It's going to be a Sister sitting atop another Sister's shoulders while firing two bolters.

I can't double post on here to keep them separate, so I said "screw it" and just left them lumped in from where I'd done so for a normal post on another forum.

Well that already sounds infinitely cooler than Centurions

Sad that a Sisters box would be 5 models. I get that they could do a combined box for the different units, but it's going to be hard building an army out of 5-man boxes unless they're priced like GK's. Hell, they even put GK's into a 10 man box.

Even at 5 to a box, if the boxes are $30USD it's still be cheaper than currently (by $30 for a standard sized unit). GW would have to make an effort to price Sisters players out of plastics.

Yeah, i've also been hearing that the "Plastic Sisters" have been done for a while. For any saying "they're still designing them", i think that the "Masters" are already made, they have the models, but they're just not going into production for "reasons".
Any of these rumours come either from production actually starting, or the expectation of such...

As for the specifics above, I think you've pretty much got it Clockwork, i'll put it my way:

– R&D on the entire line is complete, and the range is all new in plastic. No news for me. When they start production (if they ever do?) is my concern.
– 5-model combo-unit Sisters infantry kit Agreed on multi-weapons. Unless they play the SM Infantry trick: you get 1 melta and you need other boxes for the rest....
– 3 model Sisters unit on 50mm bases kit What is on 50mm? swarms are 40mm. New Nid warriors are 50mm right? So something of equal size. No idea...
– 5 model Sisters unit on 32mm bases kit (different from the infantry unit listed above) could just be the Heavy squad, 32mm for the larger weapons / stances. Would remove the Heavy flamer, MM, Heavy bolter from the 1st Kit.
– Sororitas combo unit vehicle kit “A” kit I'd say one is immolator, one is Exorcist
– Sororitas combo unit vehicle kit “B” kit As above, but an new vehicle could always be an alternative...
– Sororitas Walker/Monstrous Creature vehicle kit Penitent Engine is the most probable here.
– 3 clampack Sororitas characters Priest, Canoness and Celestine (she's too iconic). Possibly Jacobus? although priest kit should make him. maybe a VSS with more options (Repentia mistress, etc)

Also, clockwork, the Combo-"A" Kit and Combo-"B" Kit to me clearly means 1 Kit, two option (A and B).

So no Flyer, unless you were thinking Grav-Rhino?

I don't read the vehicle that way as it sounds like two seperate kits that make different things. Interesting idea regarding the 32mm models. Putting heavy weapons on them is a possibility I hadn't considered.

And grav rhinos would be awesome.

32mm might be for seraphim. Emperor knows those girls are top heavy. And the posing on jump troops is different then foot units, so probably deserves it’s own box.

/Wild guesses

How i'm seeing it:
– Sororitas combo unit vehicle kit [comma] “A” kit
– Sororitas combo unit vehicle kit [comma] “B” kit

Which would make a lot of sense: Rhino "Extended" Kit with Immolator or Exorcist options. I mean the Exorcist Kit is basically an Immo Kit without the clear plastic Cupola. If they added the clear cupola to the Exorcist kit, the above "rumour" would already exist lol...

"The Grav-Rhino was a variant of the standard Deimos Pattern Rhino."

"The Silent Sisterhood(...) also had access to the Grav-Rhino while they fought within the Imperial Webway."

And i'll never give up on my Sisters of Silence > Sisters of Battle link in the ages

We already have a Rhino/Immolator kit that's currently in a bag. So I'm not counting a rebox as a new kit. That means Exorcist + alt (because there seems to only be character models who don't get options anymore) and then something else.

Custodes have a Grav-Rhino too. Something that rare is perfect for Sisters.

Yeah, them and the Sisters of silence were the only ones to have it... But i GREATLY doubt a "new kit" is coming, of any kind.

How i'm seeing the SoB rumours:
Just like any other year / rumour past.

GW is printing a new Codex, which was what the original rumours said. Extrapolation and wish-listing always brings up plastic. But the original rumours never mentioned models.

A New codex without any models would be strange, indeed, but last time these rumours happened we JUST got the Digital dex. The rumour of plastic was there back then too =P

(Call me sceptic, but i won't get my hopes up...)

I'm sure the plastic sisters rumors will never end they make excellent click bait and if they at least get the codex right they can say "oh well my sources say the plastic sisters were pushed back for now and they are just releasing the codex as i said they would" Whenever i see talk of this i just gloss over it until i see no real proof then dismiss it. Until people provide actual proof it's about as credible as the rest of the rumors over the last several years. I'll wait until we see WD spoilers with photos and stuff before i buy into anything even if the source has got a few hits out of 100 right.

I think a new Rhino/Immolator kit is likely out of the question (though now I'm considering how to try and convert hover Rhinos), but my point about other possible vehicles stands.

The rumors here said nothing about the codex, so I'm considering this a different batch.

GW isn't getting a dime from me till they update my Sisters and I've been spurned by them more times than I care to count:

What makes this information any different than the last time?

Nightfury has a 100% accuracy rate right now?

Also that's the most specific I've seen for kits regarding model counts and base size.

Last time someone claimed to see models they made some claims about details on the models, but nothing about specific kits. The info about specific kits does give me hope that actual kits were seen, but then again it's BoLS so who knows if it's true or not. :/

Won't believe it until they are actually in my hand. Not even the pre-order on GW's site will be enough at this point.

WD leaks would be enough for me. Though I may need some time to rebound financially from ad mech.

Not to be pedantic, but that's not exactly true.

 pretre wrote:
Nightfury - Total rumors: (6 TRUE) / (2 FALSE) / (0 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)

And even if they did, what of it? All of these rumors have been stated a hundred times before, with a few insignificant tweaks to make them fit with recent trends. I'll believe it when I see the WD in my FLGS.

Just because a rumor has show up multiple times doesn't mean every occurance is automatically wrong.

If GW does new Codexes the associated models will be Plastic.

That's GWs stated desire and the most recent releases would seem to confirm that they at that point.

I've no interest in boob-armoured-not-marines but I look forward to their release just to placate the most fervent of their fans. It will be like internet Tourette's is practically cured overnight!

Nah, it's the internet. Someone will find something new to complain about and off we'll go again.

Nightfury isn't the one making the SOB claims, Larry Vela is. That means they are probably not true.

About fething time.

Well if Kronk Kronington is an Armoured boob-man, I may reconsider the whole affair!

*ahem*
From the first post, with large bold letters for emphasis:

nightfury wrote:I haven't heard or seen anything about plastic HH so i wouldn't expect it before the summer campaign which incidentally i haven't seen anything on yet either but i was specifically told last year that they have a campaign schedule to do one every 6 months which has held true so far with the insinuation that this summers campaign will be imperial vs chaos. The only thing i can confirm is the upcoming Skitarii release within the next few months with a codex/suppliment release. i was specifically told campaigns would be used to tie releases together like we've already seen so expect AdMech to be part of this next campaign. side note: i know for a fact that plastic Sisters are coming and sculpts/moulds are finished and pre productions are underway though a release date is still well off

So yes, nightfury is too making claims regarding Sisters as well.

Come on, I posted it for crying out loud. You think I'd get some credit for knowing what I put up there.

Fair enough. I didn't think that was the intent of the post I was replying to, but okay.

It isn't pointless. This thread will probably be around for a while since we have no real date for sisters.

Also, I think the title is a bit broad. Maybe change it to be more specific to the topic? ex: Sisters of Battle Rumors and 40k Release Schedule?

I bet she didn't want to put "Plastic Sisters" anywhere near a thread title!

Understandable, but still...

I'm not ungrateful for the glimmer of hope on my army getting an update, but I've pretty much quit playing the game because of a serious lack of an update on their part (and I mean that in regards to their previous updates being pretty much jokes).

I'd start buying codices again, I'd buy terrain, I'd buy most everything to do with the army... but I doubt they understand I'm not alone in my feelings.

Plastic Sisters would lead to all the trolling but I'll clean it up when I'm in front of a PC.

And frankly if I do put a clean copy of that list in the first post I don't really feel like burying my thoughts on the 2+ pages back after they've been replied to and complained about. So they'll stay in the first post, though I may spoiler them.

And in all honesty this thread won't be a long term Sisters rumors thread. Or do you expect us to have enough breadcrumbs between now and whenever to keep it alive?

I'd consider a small allied force. I like their fluff, and think they'd look awesome on the table next to a Black Templars army. Gimme good plastic models.

Hmm. I've been telling my friends that the sisters will be my next army since the start of fifth edition, but that I was going to wait for a proper update. I've actually built and painted an Ork greentide (101 orks) in the meantime. Honestly, I'm more inclined to chip in for the Raging Heroes kickstarter in the next couple of weeks. At least then I would know I would be getting something in the next couple of years.

Ouch! The burn!

Raging Heroes sisters will probably be cheaper than GW sisters as well....
