So do folks here actually think that Sisters of Battle appearing in Imperial Agents is the end of their journey???

With Genestealer Cults and Deathwatch and Adeptus Mechanicus releases in the past year? That this isn't merely a precursor to an eventual SoB (or Adepta Sororitas) Codex? An opportunity to gauge interest and generate some excitement?

Okay, I guess. I expect the opposite, then.

Personally, I see Imperial Agents as the 'Inquisition' codex. And of course, since Hereticus are known for their associations with Sisters and Malleus with GKs I suspect we're seeing 'parts' of those armies present with more expanded lists later on.

I am really looking forward to Codex Imperial Agents. No more having to buy 3+ codex's for armies with only four or five units.

I'd assume that Codex Imperial Agents would include various formations for each of it's included factions, then one or two big ones if you want to combine everything.

One thing I would like to see is Inquisitorial Stormtroopers getting their own unit entry, I'm thinking cheaper Scions without deepstrike.

My guess is that they'll use imperial agents to update SoB just enough that they don't get chapterhouse'd again. Cut the line down to a single character and troop squad within imperial agents, have Imperial agents invalidate the 6th ed book, bam no models without rules no rules without models, the IP is safe.

That would be a shame if that was true I would love to see new models and people playing Sisters more .

I think we'll be getting plastic models soon for Sistsers and a codex Jan/Feb.

Prepare to be disappointed.

I'm going to go ahead and bet that there won't be a Sisters of Battle codex. There likely won't be any more codices. We'll probably get an app like Age of Sigmar has with all the unit rules, with more complex rules/detachments in supplement books.

I'm not a source, I'm just seeing the directions.

Nah, they're testing the waters. I think that a full release will follow soon after. Should be good.

Sigmar still has codices. They're called Battletomes, and they're still coming out with them even post ghb.

The warscrolls (aka dataslates) in the books do not override the ones for free and the only things in the Battletomes that is not for free on the App or website are the Battalions (aka Formations).

It will likely be the same with 40k. CSM unit rules free online, get Traitor Legions to make those units a Thousand Sons or Death Guard army with special rules associated. But you can play without it. Much like Sylvaneth can play fine without the Battletome but you get Battalions/artifacts/etc with the book.

Battletome Flesheater courts completely overwrote Grand Allaince Death units that were shared between the two and the App was updated to reflect that. The only 2 models that have battlescrolls for both are zombie dragon/terrorgeist and the Beast from the Grave versions of those are not matched play legal because they don't have points, as confirmed by adepticons AoS TO.

Sigmar still has codices, the app just updates to match them as they come out.

Yeah exactly that's what I'm saying. I'm seeing the future of 40k being like AoS - when they want to update the rules, they might put out a book/supplement - but likely they will release the rules into a living dex.

If you pay attention, that's already what they've been doing for 40k. They didn't re-release Space Wolves and Daemons, they put out Curse of the Wulfen. They're not putting out a new CSM codex, they're just having Thousand Sons and Traitor Legions.

We may see future codices to condense rules into one place, but I'm just saying we've moved away from "armies only get updated when a Codex comes out", rather they get updated incrementally and get new toys as things go on.

I can see that being true, bit there will always be books because they need aome way to put in a paywall

The first step on the road to disappointment, and all that jazz.

Are we really at eachother's throats oven little plastic/metal/resin soldiers? Seriously, take a deep breath, relax, and try to put things into perspective shall we?

When one plays a bad game, one should be prepared for a bad community.

I have been let down for years, but I will continue to be excited about the possibility. My faith empowers me.

I think it's a lot of players who feel entitled that their army should get all the new toys. If Sisters are not in jan/feb then I think the Plastic Sisters of Battle remark was obviously a troll joke.

GW should just admit it. And save people from hope.

S.Y.

You must be new to these parts dear traveler.

We live in a world where Genestealer Cults are once again a full army. Why are people so sure Sisters won't come back as well?

Probably because plastic sisters rumours are so old they are almost Meme territory or believed to be pure fiction.

Also female figures tend to be hit or miss. Also possible backlash from certain people.

Basically

Sisters plastics are coming, as GW themselves said. Have a tiny bit of patience and let's all get along *hands out flowers*

Okay this has been quoted three times on one page, we get it.

^This. Everyone should remember that GW can only release a few bits and bobs at a time. It's logistically impossible just to dump everything at once.

Wow, given how prices keep increasing, imagine how expensive those sisters are going to be!

Oof! Ouch. That was a hard hitting new version of "I know you are, I said you are but what am I?".

Top shelf work Mel. I may need a stiff drink and a lie down after that zinger.



I'm not trying to antagonise you BTW. Sisters players do a good enough job of doing that to themselves without me getting involved.

Well this thread is on its way to Locksville...
