As of right now, we only know it has Cult Mech.

This thread should have never been split into two separate threads. Now instead of Imperil Agents we are just talking about Sisters of Battle.

You're a Long Time Dakkanaut, You should know by now that Sisters of Battle fans inevitably make any thread remotely about Sisters of Battle a thread about Sisters of Battle.

Yes I know. Just wanted to say because someone felt it was an issue to break it up so it's Imperial Agents only, but how ironic instead it turned into a Sisters of Battle thread which he should have asked in the first place and now he is quiet since no Imperial Agent talk is being talked about.

So what exactly are we to talk about regarding Imperial Agents? Sisters are in the codex and it was revealed today that there will be a finecast Canoness. What other news is there?

You didn't see the emoicon showing the tongue sticking out? You didn't see it was a joke and in fun? Ok how about 40K general forum and talk about Sisters of Battles? Where is this new news you are talking from? Where are the rumours? Oh the finecast Canoness you say? Maybe I missed that since I have seen two straight pages or more of people picking on Mellissa. That is a discussion? That is news and rumours? Or how about just talking about Sisters of Battle but has no revilance to news or rumours?

Geez when I forget to use the emicon, I am told I need to use them to show humour and when I do use it, some people still don't know what a joke is. Like serious dude yo actually thought I was serious especially with a troll sticking his tongue out doing a zuber?

I can with 99.99% certainty confirm that the Canoness model is the 2E codex cover one.

Nobody knows, there are no leaks until friday.

It does not have Cult mech or Skitarii. It has gun servitors.

Wait what no leaks until friday.... How does this "leaking" work

Wait what? That's like the best news ever!

*SIGH* Here we go again:



No way in hell I'm passing on such an iconic character.

Do you have the book, because the blurb says otherwise.

This is a book that compiles together loads of specialist forces that commonly operate alongside other armies within the Imperium – including agents from the Inquisition, Officio Assassinorum, Deathwatch, Grey Knights, Adepta Sororitas, Cult Mechanicus, Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Aeronautica Imperialis, and even the Legion of the Damned.

Got a feeling the CultMech content might be electropriests as a reference to the 2nd ed. agents of the Imperium book.

No, I don't have the book. Hmm, I was sure I saw it mention gun servitors somewhere and I figured those are cult mechanicus?

Why would cult mechanicus be in the codex but not skitarii? This is another reason I don't think there will be anything other than gun servitors, then again those are henchmen so perhaps I'm completely off?

It occurred to me that with the inquisition boxed game rumour, we may see a deathwatch style approach to the sisters. 7th edition rules now, minis in the boxed game, then a codex after 8th edition.

I think fuel might have been added to these rumours because of all the Inquisitor or Chaos warbands featured in the Blanchitsu pages of Warhammer:Visions

Who knows. If they put Skitarii in, you could use the Start Collecting: Skitarii set right out of the box. Perhaps they didn't list all of the armies. I seem to remember reading, at some point, that there would be eleven different armies represented in this book. Perhaps Skitarii are one of remaining two not listed. I thought I remembered seeing something regarding Stormtroopers as well.

Oh man I want a plastic Inquisitor to add ally into my army with those silly grenades.

Sisters aren't any worse than Deathwatch with their 4 HQs, 1 Troops, 4 Elites, 5 FA(4 of which are dedicated transports), 3 HS. Sisters have around the same number of units. And if they are getting a new model range, they are likely going to get more.

But Deathwatch are space marines, so that means they automatically deserve a codex.

I have yet to see anyone making the argument that Sisters don't deserve a codex. I think that they will be in this book in addition to being in their own codex is great. Several different armies that have codexes, such as Grey Knights, Deathwatch, and Cult Mechanicus, will be in this book. This will just give all of those armies an alternative way to be played.

I definitely am going to make a squad of Legion of the Damned out of half of a Tactical Squad for use with this book. (I will need to get a lot of skulls to do it).

Enginseers, the only Mechanicus model aside from Servitors we have confirmed right now from this book, are Astra Militarum models not Cult Mechanicus.
We're also seeing the "Wyrdvane Psykers" from Militarum here as part of the Telepathicus. I thought we saw mention of the Primaris Psyker too, but I can't be certain about that.

I don't think we're actually going to see anything from Codex: Cult Mechanicus. Silly as it sounds, the wording choice might be a poor one since it's not just a faction in the game but the background as well.

Only thing I've seen definitively mentioned was the Techpriest Enginseer--and he's not in Codex: Cult Mechanicus. Nor are the Servitors that accompany him("Gun Servitors"). The Kataphron Destroyers/Breachers are their own unique thing at this juncture, separate from the Gun Servitors of yore.

Forgive me if I am off, but Deathwatch had two boardgames in 7th, AND a codex in 7th...

Again, this book really isn't designed to replace a full codex for any of the factions contained inside. It exists so you can throw together a small detachment from them in to your army, without fussing with unfavorable allies rules.

He means that Sisters could get the same thing.

I doubt Sisters will get a board game, but current rumors suggest (heap of salt here) that Sisters will get a codex early next year.

Stay strong Sister friends.

We just gotta believe!

The current inquisition codex mentions some inquisitors having Skitarii as ground troopers.

unless gw is playing a joke on us, then plastic sisters of battle are on there way. I can't imagine that they would do that without a new codex

inquisition codex wrote:Where these individuals are recruited from depends upon the character of the Inquisitor, and the nature of his work. Some Inquisitors induct from only the most gloried institutions of the Adeptus Terra; the Schola Progenium, the Skitarii Legions or the Chambers Militant of the Ecclesiarchy. Others prefer the knife-edge reactions and gutter instincts of bounty hunters, underhive mutants and rogue frontiersmen. No matter where or how they are recruited, these Acolytes must exhibit exceptional qualities or resilience, determination and loyalty to their master, for they will be entrusted with many terrible tasks and are expected to excel in their completion.

PS. to add some more weight to the rumor, in this months white dwarf in the blanchitsu section, they mentioned they made rules for the pelgrim. So those rules might be the basic for the boxed game

GW's design team has talked about plastic Sisters years ago in the past, yet not delivered. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and get excited over something that has failed to happen in the past.
