Doubt it'll be a resin Canoness. Will be plastic, surely?

In the (in)famous video about Magnus they said "plastic sisters" not "resin", so I can understand the troll move againt people that continue asking for new sisters, but if they really do them I cannot understand why to not say the true material. So, or new plastic sisters or no new sister.

No custodians, no arbites. Just some models that, my guess, simply don't sell. Bleh.

Also, resin SOB CANONESS! Restricted abd available while stock lasts, sadly.

and the source for this is?

Resin sisters are nonesense for one more reason: Citadel does not produce resin anymore, only Forgeworld does, but the new Imperial Armour has been postponed and in any case it will tells about Mechanicus vs Tau on a forge world, so I cannot see how Sororitas could be involved.

don't get me wrong I expect it to be a troll, but a new canoness was mentiont a few weeks ago on a fb page

Well the same way that almost certainly there will be Marines (has to be marines right?) - they just write them in as part of the Crusade to defend or recover it.

Yeah, they were called Sisters of Silence

Well this list contains 11 factions not 9 so I am guessing it is a troll.

Ecclesiarchy goes to save Adeptus Mechanicus? Improbable (but yes, not impossible). If they were attacked by some Chaos/cultist group I could tell that SoB were called by an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor, but we are talking of Tau, the less chaotic race in the entire universe.

They lied to you, there is no such thing called plastic Sisters of Battle. The only thing that exists is crushed dreams and tears of defeat.

Lady Atia (could she sit at the right side of the Emperor) has a different opinion.

Church: Adepta Sororitas, Priests
Ad Mech: Tech Priest
Navy: Valkyrie
Deathwatch: KillTeams / Corvus
Telepathica: Sisters of Silence, Astropaths
Grey Knights: Terminators and stupid baby carrier
Legion of the Damned
Inquisitors
Assassins

I make that 9?

Imperial Agents should really have the "advisors" from the Guard Codex but doubt it.

The Ad Mech is still the Imperium in the Church's eyes - if they are attacked by a deviant Xenos race that's not ok.

The Sororitas can and do operate completely independently from the Church so they may have a ship in the area, they might part of a Crusading fleet, they might have been evacuated to the Forge world as the Tau invaded, lots of options.

GW has let a select few people have access to preview copies of the last 2-3 releases. I'd expect that someone out there has copies of the Imperial Agents book right now. Everyone is playing nice and not releasing things until the book is up for Pre-order. Good on them.
We will know a lot on the 10th, when the book comes up for Pre-Order.

Some of them have already posted in this thread and confirmed the bad news... or so it would seem DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUU!!!!

Eh. With the exception of the astropath, they're both dedicated military support officers. Unlikely to be working independently.

I'm shocked the Militarum Tempestus didn't make the list. They seem like a natural inclusion.

And I still don't care, because there's no proof that she is right, just guesstimations and "BUT BUT BUT I WANT HER TO BE RIGHT!!!!1111ONEONEWUN".

No one is obligated to buy in to your hype train. I want her to be right, too, but let's be realistic here. There's been a dozen rumors by people who "have to be right", including from GW's own design team, for over ten years now that there will be plastic Sisters. And without fail, every single one of them were wrong.

That's right. Every single rumor-monger that has ever suggested plastic Sisters of Battle so far has been wrong, with zero exceptions. And until there is actual evidence of plastic sisters-- even just a picture of them-- there's no reason to believe they are real. The word of one random person on the internet is not evidence, no matter how much you desire to believe in it.

If you won't believe one of the two most accurate rumour providers about their rumors, then what is the point in reading a thread about rumors?? Other than to be antagonistic, of course.

Right, everyone who disagrees with you MUST be trolling.

They may have a good accuracy rating, but it still is a rumour; it never hurts to be too cautious about these things, especially when hype starts to get generated.

Also, these threads are News & Rumours threads - some people just check in to see for any news.

Ugh, guys, if you don't like what she's saying, just don't interact with her.

Retconned Legion over at B&C is saying 10th for a limited release resin canonness based on Blanch art. £15

Pretty sure GW doesn't make Resin any more, though FW does.

Apparently from a trade e-mail.

Or just don't call her out as an antagonistic troll. Instead say something along the lines of "fair enough, I understand your scepticism, but I for one believe that there will be an update for X reasons". This is a discussion thread, after all.

Yes, Sisters haven't really had any sort of update confirmed by rumourmongers. Something has to happen someday though, be it for better or worse.

 Melissia wrote:

They don't make any new resin casts, but you can still buy a few models off their website that were upgraded from pewter to Finecast.

That's fair I suppose. Though "based off Blanche's art" does not make me hopeful. That's not a direction Sisters need to be taking IMO.

With independent corroboration I am more inclined to believe this rumour. I imagine it will be made from forgeworld resin. With Atia, vnoob and GW themselves dropping hints, I imagine this is a prelude to a full army book and a range of plastic minis. I'm guessing it will be a mini form of this. It was a John Blanche cover I believe.

Yeah, that's the art form I would dread. I'd really rather them be wearing power armor, not skin-tight jumpsuits.

If we can stick to the topic please.


Thank you.

Actually I am 99% certain they just said "sisters" in plastic the week before the SoS were shown.

I would guess there have been trying to come up with a way of breaking the news to the dozen or so SoB players without causing them to off them selves.
