Yes, true, but they usually start working on miniatures two years before release Fingers crossed they changed their mind

So SoS before SoB... nice GW nice...

Lets hope SP was not throwing chum into the water.........

Honestly I'm expecting them to be quite tame. I'm not fond of the bald with ponytail look they have. So if they are slightly cheesecake it might make me buy them but honestly I think they will look eh!

MKIII isn't wrong. But no mention of Sisters or Custodes? Odd.

Sad panda just blew my panties off with the shock of that statement.

I would love mkiii to go with my fw mkiii iron warriors. Plastic sisters of silence could potentially get me to start a 30k loyalist army.

I never understood the love for the ad mec & skitarii when they came out, but once I saw the models in person I thought they were great.

I don't understand the love for the custodes or the sisters of silence either, but I guess I'll wait and see.

While I don't doubt Sad Panda, I'm having trouble seeing the sense in a SW/SOS/AC vs TS release. 30k is, despite how much others want to claim, marines vs marines 99% of the time. Releasing a starter box with not 1 but 2 hyper specialised non-marines in there just seems odd. Granted, TSons players have been left out in the cold for years and as such will probably scoop these up in large numbers and SW seem to have sufficient numbers of dedicated players that they'll find a home, but I don't think that this'll be the out of control success that calth is/was, simply due to the fact that you're going to have to split the box unless you want MkIII marines, MkIV marines, Custodes and SoS. While that is probably a few players dreams come to life, I doubt that it's going to be the case for the vast majority of players.

I understand what you are saying but as long as you only or mainly produce SM models, than SM models will be the thing that most people buy. The BL fluff has some great ideas for unique Imperial Army Regiments, the Mechanicus and other elements of the Imperium.

Sisters of Silence survivie at least into the Time of the Beast and hence can have stats that could be used for non 30k games.

If there are Space Wolves in it, Sad Panda has not mentioned them yet.

One can only hope

The armour is one of the things Gdubs actually got right on the sob line. Fully covered neck down.

Repentia excluded who are more tame modelwise vs the fluff.

I dunno iv seen those threads about boob plates with sob coming up alot.

Good point, looking back at all of SP's posts they've only ever mentioned TSons, the rest of us have just assumed that means SWs will be in it too.

If is is just Custodes and SS vs TSons I must admit I'll be a little bit disappointed as it'll likely mean that there's very little power armour in the box (compared to Calth). Still cool, though, just not as much of a must-buy for me ( though I'll probably still end up getting it asap in any case ).

Thats what concerns me. The more non-PA figures there are, the fewer suits of MKIII in the set. I am only hyped for this because of plastic MKIII armor.

But so many times it turned out to be false, SOB have become the half life 3 of games workshop.
So i am not getting excited until i see them in the flesh.. i mean plastic.

You realize the Rumor is about Sister of Silence? Not Sister of Battle .

but, just a people used the Calth box for 40k (before the rules for the 30k-only models came out,) The chances of people NOT using the SoS as SoB is smaller than the chance of Kirby becoming a congressman.

Well, if nothing else, I am hoping that because people will be after this for Custodes and Sisters, that there will be a huge amount of Mk III armor on eBay. Would be a great way to get HH Imperial Fists going.

I am more interested in the Mk III in order to chop it up to create some Raven Guard Istvaan survivors. Plastic is easier to work with and I have been waiting to buy more marines until I could convert up some various armor types.

Didn't they already say Artemis the female deathwatch marine is coming back?

Both male and female marines are referred to as brother out of tradition. I think they said that in RT.

I think he knows.

I very much doubt that the 40k Tzeentch stuff will be released before Deathwatch. I can pull up the quote later but I think SP said check back after Summer minimum.

Exciting times.

Well they still aren't releasing SOB so they are still half life 3 for GW.

Well yeah and that's going to require lots of convering if it comes to that. Makes one wonder wouldn't it simply be more efficient to get SOB's from alternative company...

This looks like female to you?

MAYBE there were some female marines in RT era but that has been overwritten by current fluff which states females cannot become marines.

You mean a company like Raging Heroes? They'll be releasing their space nuns shortly.

Stop posting Artemis, I'm already kicking myself for not getting him* back in the day without seeing him every so often.


*Or two of him. Or ten.

Don't worry, you will be getting an opportunity to get him in plastic form pretty soon. I know I definitely will be getting him and the Deathwatch flyer. I hope they have a basic Deathwatch Kill Team kit too. I will buy that too if they do make it.

Don't feel too bad.

It was a pure metal model, she'd fall apart the moment you breathed hard.

I don't know how you are confused with Artemis' gender, unless you are just being a troll...
