Could some sort of bike squad be the 3 models on 50 mm bases kit we've heard about?

Well, yes. It could be, bike bases are that long...

Personally I'd prefer a big-based heavy like a centurion.

Quite frankly, I really hate the bikes most of all. The Jump Packs look far better. We should be wishlisting for alt gear on the existing JP Sisters for a X-in-1 kit, than all new stuff that looks awful and requres a totally separate SKU.

With the small issue that for the most part Jumppacks are Dogsh*t compared to bikes. I would MUCH rather have bikes and I think if they put sisters on some Ducati 959 Panigale looking things they'd be awesome AND unique.

Assault Multimeltas with Flamer attachments would be amazing to have, along with a combined Melta/Flamer weapon.

A Meltagun that ignores cover and can't miss? Sounds balanced to me! Put a chainfist attachment on it as well, one that strikes at Initiative and grants an extra attack in close combat.

So it's a S3+3 I3 AP2 CCW that does an extra d6 against vehicles and incorporates a R12" S8 AP1 gun that ignores cover? How much would we expect to pay for this?

IG pay 10 pts for the Meltagun and 15 pts for a Power Fist, so that's 25 pts base cost. Add another 5 pts for the "ignores cover" and "CCW" effects, and it's an even 30 pts.

Rock on. I'd play against it at that points cost. Take as many as you like!

The main thing I want is for GW to learn how to price weapons correctly. I want Inferno Pistols to be more than an expensive point-sink dammit!

I think Inferno Pistols are competitively priced relative to IG Plasma Guns and SM Plasma Pistols.

A 6" range melta pistol is definitely not worth as much as a plasma gun. It should cost as much as a meltabomb at most: 5pts.

Hell, a plasma pistol is definitely worth less than a plasma gun, and yet it costs the exact same amount.

...wat. Dude I'd pay 20 points MAX for that stupid thing. Probably not even that, dominions only pay ten points for their ignores cover meltas, just take more of those. The CCW is pretty much worthless, the melta should have been enough to blow the transport and what on gods green earth could come out of it that you'd want to charge a unit of sisters into? Especially one with an ignores cover meltagun in it? Strapping 2 things together doesn't automatically make it more useful. An inferno heavy bolter isn't worth iit' points even with the hb being assault 3

If you think it's overpriced, don't get it?

Since this is speculation I'm hoping something better would get made instead. Sisters need a new special/heavy weapon and I'd much rather get a Frag cannon than an inferno heavy bolter. That said I do apologize if my previous post came off as harsh. I just really want Sisters to be an army people respect on the tabletop and the first step to that is bringing the heat with new wargear.

Really stupid question but, is a new Sisters dex actually coming or is this literally just what people would want in a new codex? I don't pay much attention to the 40k rumor mill

It's overwhelmingly wishlisting.

This thread is wishlisting.

However rumours from sources with a 100% accuracy rating and GW themselves have confirmed that plastic Sisters of Battle are coming in a few months. No word on a codex release at the same time, though.


JohnHwangDD will tell you endlessly how GW and these rumourmnogers are "tolling the 2-3 sisters players there are", but he's either in denial or trolling (or both).

Okay but then it need to have instant death and strength D and torrent 24".
How would you price such a beauty ?

I would love to see plastic sisters, and I hope they get a new, good, codex as well. Emperor knows they deserve one

Nothing if you are a Space Marine... you get as many of those as you want, as long as you buy the special 30th Anniversary kit.

It's rumors and there was zero confirmation by GW, just a joke that people read too much into. For the hype and accuracy you're claiming, Sisters should be imminent. End of year, 2016, not a nebulous "few months".

Any model may exchange their krak grenades for.... Megaflame Chainmelta, free

There is probably too much speculation for the amount of information that we have.
We have the equivalent of a Marvel End Credit scene. "Months yet" is interpreted as GW trying to get ahead of the Rumor Mongers, while making it clear that they aren't the plastic Sisters of Silence seen in the Burning of Prospero.
Could Sisters of Silence be an elite choice for SoB in the next codex? Maybe. GW likes having places for their 30k plastics in 40k (we already have rules, just not rules for Battle Forged games). I think that GW has learned that from AoS that people crave structure.

We did have one of the most reliable rumour makers saying it was coming as well on the back of the video?

You know I've been noticing an increase of knockoff models for the SoB. So maybe gw noticed this too and are taking action that isnt the threat of a lawsuit. I doubt it though.

What i'd like to see are new hospitaller, dialogous and repentia models. maybe some armor variations to distinguish different units. Maybe a rule that could more effectively counter psykers than just adamantium wil. Also a flyer, terminator/sanguinary guard esque unit, and a new troops choice.

I don't care if a generic living saint option is too much to ask for, I wants one.

Lots and lots of this.

You have an unconfirmed rumor, and the video was clearly making a joke.

We're all aware of the fact that this is just wishful thinking until we start getting pics or sprues; but this is the most legitimate hope sisters players have ever had. With Deathwatch, Genestealers, Admech and Harlequins being released alongiside a bunch of other cool gak GW is doing, the gag at the end of the Magnus video+ Blood of kittens+the rumoured jan-feb release window making perfect sense(CSM and demon primarch carry through the Jan half year report SOB release would be a guaranteed bump to Q3 earnings without having to really do anything.) Yes it could be a VERY poor taste joke but this isn't for that.. This type of thread is for imagining how awesome a sister's full release would be. ANd arguing about how powerful they should be.

+1

We're also aware that any new Codex that's released will likely contain none of the things we're hoping for. If you were going to post a comment pointing that out, I've just saved you the trouble.

So, maybe Repentias could have an act of faith that allowed them to assault out of a Sisters of Battle transport. That'd seem to fix their issues.

It'd fix ONE of their issues.
