So, is this a limited edition, or will I be able to buy one a year from now, when my account recovers?

Preorders are on Saturday. Start checking the website around 12:30 to 12:40.

Unless they produced more than I imagine they did, it'll probably go out of stock very quickly. I mean, someone mentioned five per store, two per LGS. So take care and check constantly on the day of release.

Is that a new sculpt or a reprint of an old one?

If it's in plastic I'm buying one.

I wants it!

It's a new sculpt, and it's limited-edition resin-- finecast is my guess.

New sculpt, resin.

Ninja'd you, Pretre XD

Soo you don't like it but are going to buy one anyway.... right.

Two.

I am going to buy two.

One to go with my order of the Valorous Heart kill team , and another for the noble occasion when sororitas finally get plastics and I come up with a new colour scheme.

Everything I would change about this I can change.

Literally no one here is surprisd.

I'm more surprised that there are people that are impressed, somehow.

What do we need to do to acquire one?

Thanks for the information, guys!

I like it, but not enough to camp the site or bug the store. If there's a limited edition thing I need to get into trouble over, it's probably coming out of the Kingdom Death 2 kickstarter.

They should be limited to one per customer. I'm camping the store because i have nothing better to do.

Wasn't the Imperial Marine anniversary thing some kind of mid between Finecast and Resin?
This may be similar.

It should be just one per customer for limited runs to be honest, only fair.

Maybe. I expect it to be of the same material and quality of said anniversary thing.

Nope, it was a clamshell monopose plastic marine.

I'm not usually willing to cheat at that sort of stuff.

But sometimes I am.

I'm pretty sure most are already spoken for. There is nothing to stop a store for taking pre-orders on it, and of the dozens they will get, they can chose the 5 people they like most (i.e. employees, the employee's shadow buyers, or the ebay sellers with the best bribes.)

A few normal people may get one, but I think most will be disappointed.

Regardless of the mini, if the codex is actually what it's been said to be-- a way to include small amounts of the various units in it in other armies as small detachments-- I think it'll be a fine addition to the game. If it's still valid when I start Guard back up, I'll probably use it to include my Sisters in my Guard army.

The Cannoness looks like a drag queen.

Nah, I've seen far more convincing queens than that. Including one that was actually a drag king pretending to be a non-passing drag queen.

So I hate the art the mini is based on but imo the miniature itself is actually salvagable to my aesthetic... The biggest problems are the feet which are easy to replace... And the position of the right leg which can be fixed with a knife and green stuff... That said I will not be going out if my way to get it... If it's available when I preorder the codex I will order it as well but if it's sold out I won't be heartbroken

I really like it. To me that image is just as iconic as the blood angel captain from the 2nd edition box.

I need it. Please don't order one other U.K. people. It's that or 30k weapons and i'd prefer the lady with the skull bra to some guns I have to individually scrub.

Sisters of Battle have always looked terrible; it's a design decision. This model is just faithful to that aesthetic.

To me, the most iconic image for Sisters is this one.

How much. I can do £15 on saturday. Any more would require more time than an hour. Also what time does the U.K. webstore update?

I thought it was 10am - that's what time I'm aiming for.

Also this is my 4000th post. Will Nurgle advance my status?

Hey, at least you're not at the point I'm at.

There's no more advances for me to have

I have to agree that one at least looks like the artist had seen a woman or a human being, Blanche's stuff not so much. But one man's stylistic choice is anothers lack of talent.

Kopinski went for a more realistic "Osprey" feel with his pieces of art, like with the two Cadians. He's also very big on scarred faces.

Definitely. It looks awesome. Much better than the Glam Metal wannabe thing J.B. drew.
