Can any of you fine chaps grab some nice screengrabs?

They dont actually show sisters of battle, there is just mention of them being "months away." The Thousand Sons stuff is in their thread.

You forgot to say they said that while in a recycling bin. Come on make it more dramatic and make Medium of Death going WTF?!

Yeah I dropped the ball on that, my bad.

They don't even actually say Sisters of Battles are months away. It goes:

[shot of a trash can]
V/O 1: "Cool... This isn't even released for months yet."

V/O 2: "Plastic Sisters of Battle??"
[fin]

It's a troll.

It was the same voice and he said it like an exclamation of shock.
Why are you so desperate to not see this happen?

I'm going to giggle my butt off if my speculation from last month that the surviving Sisters of Silence will be retconned in as having been folded into SoB after Vandire, as an anti-witch black ops type unit comes to pass.

Yeah it's a troll.

It's a shame that GW target the saddest, most desperate, most reviled section of the community. Buy hey, that's life.

And this is why we can't have hope. I want to believe.

Because it takes away time for more space marines obviously. Or he just hates the fact we finally may get new figures.

Who thought cult would sell?

Obviously they want to release them so they can blam them in the end times.

Don't like Sob fine. But don't crush other people's hope!

S.Y.

Its' interesting actually. If you go to the comment section of the video, at least 85% of comments are about the Sisters. Magnus and the sons are basically being ignored.

Wow.

Anyway, for what it's worth, Bob on War of Sigmar has chimed in and he confirms that plastic SoB are real.

I think you need to get your hearing checked.

Why are you so desperate to imagine GW would make plastic SoB?

I don't think it would be a joke because why be so open and frank about everything else? Plus it's far too specific. He says that these will be released in a couple of months. That's not ambiguous enough. Plus he's in the box that he procured Magnus and all the other sprues.

If he has simply walked past a box, tapped it and said "this where you keep the Sisters?". I d have said it's a joke. But it's set up as a cliffhanger and it's too specific.

Somewhere in Nottingham, the Warhammer TV crew are reading this thread, shaking their heads.

I don't think they troll though. The way they are building up positive hype throughout the video and showing a good amount of sensivity for their audience's thoughts and feelings, it isn't plausible they are suddenly lacking it when talking about the SoBs. It was my first reaction too, but it doesnt make sense to be honest.

Exactly

When I see plastic Sisters of Battle at my local GW store, I will believe it. Not a moment before then.

And it's not as if I don't already have playable Sisters of Battle.

GW. You find new ways to take my money

Most reviled segment of the community?

What do Eldar players have to do with this?!?

Spoiler:

Why would they make plastic Cult or Death watch ?both niche armies. Look we get it you hate SoB leave those who are hyped alone. And Plastic Custodes???

They can and possibly have.

S.Y.

I've been saying it for years that human females in plastic are an untapped market. Anyone know what the first human female plastics on the market were? The Zombie Vixens... that's both sad and funny at the same time.

Female models have been an untapped market for over a decade, it's been almost impossible to get good female sculpts but then suddenly Raging Heroes shows up and has 2 incredibly successful kickstarters, first one getting $650k and second $800k if I remember correctly. That's almost $1.5 million to create female models. After Raging Heroes first kickstarter we have seen ALLOT of companies suddenly making female models.

As always GW are late to the party but their sculpts should be good, I just fear the codex will be complete and utter trash as the WD and Digital codexes were... :(

Sent a Sisters of Battle codex to GW last year, hopefully they've taken some of the things I suggested into consideration.

Did you read what i wrote before? Go read the comments on the video. It's almost all reaction to the sisters news. Magnus and the sons are basically ignored. Also, mind your manners.

I already have six squads of plastic/metal Thousand Sons. Doesn't mean I won't go broke buying new ones.

And, geez, if there's two factions of them (magnus and the cabal), with different paint schemes, I'm enough of a TS fanboy to do both. And if it IS a dual build kit for CC and ranged, fuggedaboutit.

I hope after sisters they do Eldar Exodites and Kroot Hunting Clans/Mercenaries and or an entirely NEW Xenos faction. Holy gak mind blown if they pull that last one out of a bin.

To all you sisters fans time to celebrate!

FINALLY !!
THE ROCK... er I mean SISTERS, HAVE RETURNED TO 40K.

Long have we waited for Mechanicus, and the Emperor delivered.
Long did we wait for the Genestealer Cults to rise again, and the Patriarch delivered.
Somebody probably really, really wanted Deatchwatch, and it was delivered.
But now brothers and sisters the time for rejoicing is at hand as our sisters is arms, the Adepta Sororitas rejoin us, now in glorious plastic form.
EMPEROR BE PRAISED !!

I really really wanted DW. Even have my codex and models will be in soon. I also really want Kroot and Demiurg. I want a renaissance GW where they aren't afraid to put out new Xenos factions or Imperial factions.

I guess it begs the question..


1. Re-release of old models in plastic.
2. A new / updated range in prep for a full release.
3. A few models being thrown together for yet another "board game."

I'm leaning towards 3, though I hope it's 2.

There are those who said this day would never come.

What are they to say now?

I love how rife this thread is of insulting other people for liking models.

I for one hope it's true. Sisters have always been one of my favorite model lines.

In my case this gif would be an accurate description:


GW confirming magnus like that is huge and awesome. Plus it almost confirms that TSons will get a codex of their own.
At that point I was all:



And yet, it's "just" confirmation of what we already expected.
Then suddenly out of the blue they drop that kind of bomb. Plastic....sisters...confirmation...months?

I want to be all over the TSons confirmation, but that kind of blew my mind.

The only problem they said they had casting Sisters originally was figuring out how to do the arms so that their sleeve-drapes hung properly.

I doubt that was ever the reason why we didn't see a Sisters of Battle release, though. That sounds like a well-crafted excuse designed to deter further questioning.

They likely just fell into the old "Not high enough priority to bump something else off the release schedule" trap. Ultimately, GW can only produce a finite amount of product. Anything you write and model represents something else you can't write and model because the time spent on it is being used for something else. Sisters of Battle didn't get re-released because they were never perceived to be profitable enough to displace something else in the product line. This was something a lot of people didn't think about. It was not that Sisters of Battle couldn't make money. It was simply that they were never perceived to be profitable enough to make more money than something else. Opportunity costs.

Two years ago, GW added a ton of new designers to their staff. This is why we've seen a vastly accelerated release schedule. What used to be 3-5 years for new Codex books has dropped to 2-3 years. We've seen three faction model ranges return to the lore after a long absence, and two factions return to the model range from essentially extinction.

This was always going to be the possibility for Sisters. They were dead under the old business model. They were never going to be important enough to displace another, existing, army. But now, there are enough designers to create new things.

This isn't a rumor. It's real, I essentially guarantee it, at least from the perspective of somebody who works in marketing for a retail company. Sisters of Battle are coming. Most likely as a full release. They're not going to play a practical joke on customers. If this ends up being a joke, it's a bad business decision on the level of "R Kelly doing a Twitter Q&A" bad decisions.

And, inevitably, lots of belly-aching about sexism when they end up as Sisters of Slaneesh and corpses pegged to Chaos vehicles.

This is so weird. It's almost as if GW wants to make money.
