The biggest question at the moment is what models will be pictured in the codex, old metal or new plastic. If it's old metal then we'll know there wont be any Sisters for a long time. If plastic they we could see them at any point in the near future.

A rumor a while back said Sisters were slated for end of Jan pre-orders for a Feb release. This could fit if Abbadont is in Jan, then again what else is scheduled for Jan? I remember reading a rumor that AoS stuff was slated for Feb or that Feb had more chaos stuff.

Either way we should know by the end of next week what we can expect from the Imperial Agents codex. If they have a special edition with =][= tokens I will be getting it as all my armies are part of my Inquisition force in one way or another.

I was asking for a separation of the Imperial Agents stuff and the Legion stuff, i.e. this thread becomes only about Imperial Agent, and the discussion about Legions is moved into http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/705017.page.

Let it be done! This thread is now officially for discussing the Imperial Agents supplement. Discussion of the Traitors Legion supplement should proceed in the other thread. I will change the title of this thread to reflect the change.

Thanks. Sorry I was a bit abrasive about it, but it wasn't a good situation for neither CSM fans nor Sisters fan and was generating a lot of unnecessary tensions.

This is what I am putting my money on.

Heh, yup, I have all the Ork content set to come out before 2017
Just want to say that my expectations and what I can find acceptable, what I'm looking for to see maybe different from yours are very different from some of yours so I cannot promise you'll be happy and I think that some players will just never be happy with whatever they get .im now, with WoM new TS, finally a CSM player. But I'm well aware of their...long overdue attention. So all I can do is provided The info on pre Orde day I'm allowed to and then let everyone make their own decision

Perhaps they will have the old metal/resin kits in the forefront and the new plastics out of focus in the back.

Well I for one would like to get a nice generic inquisitor kit and kits for the henchmen.

Would be great to have some non gimp looking d-hosts.

But I would settle for total rules adjustments first.

As would I. Though there are so many setups for Inquisitor, it would be hard to get a generic kit out that actually would sell.

You could have a set number of bodies like 2 crusaders and 3 servitors but have a wide variety of arm/leg/head options so each looks unique, I reckon they could do it justice.

Just a note about Codex: Imperial Agents...it is a codex. So the 9 factions, however small, see that set up with unique attachments to use in conjunction with your armies of the Imperium' codex. So, not everyone is HQ plus 2 troops, I mean.

is there a way to field multiple Agents factions within one detachment or formation? With tournaments restricting number of detachments, this would be a big deal.

Ork content? You mean for your podcast or are there going to be a large Ork release in December? I'm guessing podcast because I've heard nothing of Orks this month (It's December where I live, 00:35 of Dec 1st if anyone cares).

That was his point lol. He has nothing, aka all the ork content

yup, sadly this. But hopefully before summer.

One kits orks need/could use is a Big shoota box. We have lootas, why couldn't there be a Big Shoota mob. The good thing about such a kit would be that you could also turn it into a Tank Bustaz kit, you pretty much only need to switch the barrel on the gun from big shoota to rokkit launcha.

I heard that the new Codex will see the release of a new glaze - Battle Sister Purity. It's specifically designed to be used on Grey Knight armour.

SOLD! Shut up and take my money!

So by that, sister armor, traditionally black, will be possibly metallic.. or just shaded with a blue glaze, that is different than the current, which is use on GK to emphasize a distinct metallic finish.

Odd choice of name for the glaze I say.

It's yet another joke about that snippet of lore from the GK codex about using Sister's blood to shield themselves from demons.

BTW, that horse has been beaten enough 6 years ago.

Stupidity needs to me reminded so that it doesn't happen again. That particular lore bit proves that Sisters are far more resistant to the corruption of chaos, far better than Grey Knights in fact because some sisters could resist the corruption without special training or wargear to protect them whilst the GKs needed a talisman to protect themselves, one that could only be made by slaughtering all the remaining sisters, the same ones who were strong enough to resist the taint on their own, in order to create a talisman of protection strong enough to shield the GKs from the taint.

I guess it kinda proves the metric that faith is stronger than chaotic corruption but lack of faith will lead to corruption as several sisters have been tainted by chaos or others (Sister was corrupted by a genestealer cult and even had 2 hybrid babies in the Cast a Hungry Shadow story).

The point is that this proves that GKs can be corrupted even if the codex says no GK has ever fallen to chaos (I'd say Draigo is snorting warp dust with Slaanesh and Doomrider right now but that's just my opinion).

I remember reading somewhere that all codexes shouldn't be considered accurate because they are documents written by the Inquisition regarding the different armies in 40K and thus could be prone to errors. I believe someone at GW said it a long time ago, someone on the design team at that point in time. Think I read it at the start or middle of 5E 40K.

There are other canonical paint schemes for the Adepta Sororitas, with the black just being for a specific Order (the Order of the Ebon Chalice, IIRC). Other popular colors include red, white and silver.

So here's a thought: What if one of the factions in Imperial Agents is the Ecclesiarchy? They could easily roll Sisters, those base DCA/Priest/Flags/Crusaders, and maybe a Cardinal or some other nonsense.

That alone could evolve into a faction based around the Imperial Cult, which is at odds with the opinions of the newly returning Primarchs in the coming 8th edition.

Soooo, nobody's getting that Ward-trocity reference? I'm sure that H.B.M.C. was being saracstic here. Btw, have an exalt, sir, for making 3+ people (myself included) believe that at least for a sec.

Edit: I see that I'm a bit late with this comment. So, yeah...

Yes... we get it. Until now I had chosen to ignore it.

Unfunny jokes are often best ignored.

Well humour is subjective - it merited a chuckle from me, along with the responses

Moving forward, when is this Codex intended for release? This weekend? Page 1 says the 3rd of December, but that'd be odd considering GW only puts up preorders on Saturdays.

Imperial Agents will be up for preorder on the 10th.

I'm expecting next weekend but they could change things up for whatever reason.

Likely will see leaks around that time as well, as we had for Wrath of Magnus.

Leaks a day before or day of preorders if Traitor Legion is anything to go off of, with a teaser on Monday. Maybe someone will crack and leak some images beforehand, but the way TL is going it doesn't seem like anyone wants to spoil the surprise.

Or there's no surprise t9 spoil rwally.
