I have two of that Assassin. Got them through the old Skullz program.

Me too, although I only got the one. Still one of my favourite GW models ever.



I'm a little divided on the Canoness... It's a reasonable translation of the artwork, within the bounds of GW's miniature style, but just doesn't look as good as the original art. And that's even with not being a particularly big fan of Blanche's work, for the most part... that piece was one of the few that worked, for me, and a miniature sculpted in matching proportions would have been fantastic. Wouldn't have worked with the rest of the range, but would have been a lovely miniature

While the intent of finally realizing the cover image Canonness is nice, and the effort is fair enough, $25 USD for a single (Finecast?) resin mini seems to be more than a bit excessive when the regular one is $15 and includes option bitz. Maybe I'll order that one instead. Hm.

Is it just the UK GW site, or have all the Battle sisters squads (x10) and battle sister (x3) in metal just become no longer available? Not out of stock; - no longer available..

I'm not a sisters follower, so don't often check, but thought about dabbling with a squad and sister superior with the new Imperial agents release. (Although I admit, the price for a metal squad of 10 caused an involuntary clenching...)

Be interesting to see if it's across all the GW websites.

I see the inexplicable anti-JB Brigade are out in force.

For my money it's a fine translation of an iconic bit of art, art that stands miles above the dull, samey DeviantArt digital-speedpaint rubbish GW pump out these days.

And good on GW for keeping it available, any move that cuts the legs out from under scalper-scum is welcome.

Interesting. Maybe they stopped casting metal Sisters because they have replacements on the way in plastic?

This points to him being playable with maybe the return of deathcult assassins too?

Also note the detail on the back of his hand - GW have used this on both the Eversor & most of the Eldar range. Just a little factoid that some may find interesting (or maybe not)

The model is the Proto-Eversor so you could just play him as one.

I have 3 Eversors already! Was hoping for a new house...

USA can add to cart (at an eye-watering $79/squad), so I think you should blame Brexit or something.

'Murica!

Failing to comprehend obvious sarcasm?

I have even more, though I converted them for my Adeptus Mechanicus some years ago. I guess they would make good Sicarians now. You can't have too much Eversors. (they're finished and painted now but I don't have pics).

The translation of the 2nd Ed box art Blood Angel was far more successful IMO. Wish that wasn't in resin.

I hope not. I want this to just be an "Allies Codex", where you can take a few units from different armies and that'll be it.

Of course there will be formations. Based upon what the blurb on the community website, we will probably see an Inquisitor + Sisters/GKs/DW Squad formation.

If that's the direction they go then they'd almost definitely have an over arching 'inquisition' decurion to mix and match the formations into so you coukd run the book reasonably well by itself.

I keep really hoping the "tempest scion" storm trooper army list is getting a reprint in this book since it's currently digital only.

No it isn't.

Hopefully, she won't have crazy stats like the 30th Anniversary Space Marine. A Strength 5, AP2, Rapid Fire and Instant Death combi-weapon is a bit much.

On the other hand if you want to generate as much interest in Sisters as possible that's exactly what they should do - keep up with the Power dexes and models will sell to more people.

I'd really like an Inquisition detachment with 1+ Command of Inquisitors and 0-1 Cores of either Sisters, Grey Knights or Deathwatch and 0-n Auxiliaries of the other "Imperial Agents".

I would not like this at all...

I would like Core to be henchmen, aux can be the those space nuns and space knights

I suspect that you will be disappointed, Oldzoggy.
The Militant arms will be the core of the detachment. Henchmen will probably be required in some form, but the Sisters, Grey Knights, and Deathwatch will serve as the troops.

The Command choice would be required (Inquisitor + optional henchmen), the Core optional but limited to 1 and the Aux would be optional but not limited. That way you'd be able to do basically anything as long as you stick with one Ordo per detachment. if you wanna bring Sisters AND Deathwatch, you'll simply have to bring both an Ordo Hereticus and an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor as their Command choices.

But what if I don't want an Inquisitor leading my Sisters of Battle?

Then use Codex: Adepta Sororitas. Imperial Agents is being billed as a supplement, not a replacement for any codex.

That said, I'm fairly certain you'll be able to use this to have GK, SoB, or DW units wtihout having an inquisitor.

Has anyone heard, anything about the two Apocrypha books that are coming out? I loved the Astartes one that came out in April, so I've high hopes for Imperialis and Chaotica.

Uh what was this we are suppose to be talking about Imperial Agents? Isn't what this codex is suppose to be like I was told?

Want to play Sisters of Battle without Inquisitors then use the Sisters of Battle codex. I don't think this will replace it. Or will it and Streamdragon has a good point then.

VeteranNoob, we gonna get some of those leaks today or tomorrow? It was pretty nice getting them from you for Traitor Legions!

I'd like some leaks. PM me and I can edit this comment.

Don't expect leaks before pre-order goes up on Saturday. GW has apparently been cracking down on leaks, but the NDA supposedly relaxes when the items go up for pre-order.

He's been posting stuff on Fridays; aka when preorders go live in New Zealand.
