Ah Screw This

Ill just make my Own Plastic SoB using Female Dark Eldar Kabalites, Green Stuff and Imagination

(I Saw a Guide on B&C) (At Least i THINK it was on B&C)
They'll Work Out about 50% of the Price GW wants for them

..so the pic belwo is doing the rounds.


i think -- subject to the actual text changing things a lot -- we're going to allow our resident SOB player -- weirdly -- and mainly due to the numbers of 6s he rolls we use that term at him in another way a lot -- we're going to allow him to use the saint still.

Course we allow him to buy his canoness a jump pack too , heretics that we are.

It isn't necessarily that they are old fashioned but that physically sending a letter takes some effort.

It''s easy to dash off an overheated electronic message and hit send.

But actually sitting down to compose and write a letter seems to be a lost art. Then there is the matter of addressing an envelope and getting it, with correct postage to the post box. A series of tasks that would have given even Hercules pause.

So companies do tend to take them more seriously.

As wiser and cooler posters have noted. This isn't the rumoured new Sisters Codex. This is a another book that gives folks another pathway into Sisters. It does not replace Codex Adepta Sorortias.

If you are still upset then write to GW. Be polite ...because I remind you that you haven't lost anything, or been mislead in anyway as far as we know. And we're talking about toy soldiers, here.

The suggestion of stamped self-addressed envelopes is a good one.

Yeah we don't really need them starting to shun contact even after people sent large amounts of death threats.

For a minute I thought they would include all them sexy FW Navy models. Just the useless Valkyrie...

I have a question that i´m sure that has been already asked, but i can´t find it anywhere.

Will it be possible to make a single CAD with units from Deathwatch, Inquisition and Sisters of Battle lists (or whatever) or do you need to use alliances?

From the info we have its unlikely as msot units retain thier own Faction.

Not seeing any Formations at all.

What is this book supposed to be?

EDIT: Wait, no, there are a few that look like contenders. "Ministorum Delegation" must be the Priests thing.

feth this Codex in particular.

I think for Sisters it is Minist. Delegation. Basically anything I can't see as boilerplate heading or units I chalk up to Formations/Detachments.

Also, Sisters all do have Shield of Faith still.

You could be mistaken. There might be more my guess ( and hopes) are that these are formations.
-Inquisition henchmen warband (the same sort of formations as the kill teams now, with way more options, it could even include grey knights and death watch etc. otherwise INQ players just lost crusaders, death cults, priests, psykers and flaggelants)
-Dammned legionnaires
-Exeution force
-Daemonhunter strike force ( this could be a decurion style thiny, alsi inqluding INQ )
-Ecclesiarchy battle conclave ( Same here)
-Ministorum delegation.
-Psykana devision (the best IG psyker formation)
-Imperial navy section
-Enginseer congeration.

And, uh, Celestine. You know, the centerpiece of most SoB players army.

I know, but you already have that model right ?
And this supplement does not replace the old codex that is still for sale, its an addition.
So you could just field Celestine its just that you can probably not field her in the new cool formations that are in this book. I would say that this is a net gain, instead of a loss.

Hoped so, too because GK really need a Decurion. But I'm afraid this won't be the case, since there are only 3 "infantry" units in the codex: Interceptors, Terminators and Dreadknights :-/ +Land Raider

Seems like a big waste of a book when each group has its own faction and you still stuck playing ally shenanigans to bring things like deathwatch and sisters in the same list. Extremely disappointed in the lack of content this book has that isn't just a copy + paste of older books. What is even the point when every group is its own faction and there doesn't really appear to be a proper Inqurion to tie everything together under the Inq banner.

Yeah, book seems to have an identity crisis. The fact they are all separate factions means they don't really benefit from anything they wouldn't normally have with the exception of formations/detachments, of which there doesn't appear to be *that* many. Book almost would have been better off as a large slab of formations and detachments for all non-Space Marines (Deathwatch and Grey Knights included) Imperial Factions. Of course we'll see once we get direct images of stuff as well as the book what changes are there, and what benefits formations have.

GK detachment seems interesting: TDA, interceptors and NDK could form a shunt+charge after DS combo really juicy. I suppose Land raiders are listed only to give TDA an alternative transport, and won't be part of the strike force. What do you think?

Just about sums it up for me. The whole thing seems aimless and half-hearted.

I was thinking that this would allow me to make a force of sisters, grey knights and deathwatch marine led by an inquisitor without using 15 different detachments. I guess I won't need more than one book?

I hope my Inquisition Henchmen can choose a landraider crusader. Right now, only GK have the Landraider entry in ther list....... LRcrusader + psyboltammo <3

Unless they lose psyboot ammo with servo skulls D:

We don't know - there may be an overarching Inqusitional Formation that allows this but at the moment the book just appears to collect rules and etnries from various digtal dexes and add a few extra formations. As most units seem to retain their normal faction you would not be able to use all those easily.

Hopefully more info will be forthcoming

Honestly, seeing Celestine out is sure sad but I won't mourn too much her loss. Especially about rules.

Saint Celestine was way too much a compulsive choice in any SoB army - especially competitive. Because she was that good. I never liked named characters and would rather make my own with the generic ones, so I'm actually happy to finally see her at the Right of the Emperor.

Nothing prevents you to use her with the agreement of your opponent - or even in a special scenario. It's not because GW removed her from the codex that you must throw her miniature in the trashcan. I always felt Saint Celestine was much more suited to such cases, given her rules.

About the prices of metal SoB on their website, well...they just made sets for specific units and didn't make any reduction. It certainly sucks for new players, I agree. At least the Immolator kit is still around!

What d you folks think 'Warriors of the Emperor' has under it? Ten pages seem a bit much for an introductory blurb.

I also notice the GK and Deathwatch indices don't seem to have named characters either.

Right, but this book also doesn't reprint basically all of their stuff. That's the kicker -- even though C:AS is still legal, it sucks to see a followup that leaves one model out. Celestine is popular, hopefully she'll make a resurgence when Sisters finally get new stuff. But for the time being, it's disappointing for Sisters players in a different way from GK and DW (not that I think GK and Deathwatch don't have anything to complain about; as it stands based on rumors, this book doesn't do much of anything for anyone)

So pages 66, 67 and 68 are for Acro, Crusaders and Death Cult?
Then what is page 77?
So it seems they have split this unit into 3 different ones, making it pretty bad to be honest. Is the thing on page 77 still a combination of the 3?

4chan was garbage, I see.

77 is a formation to combine them into a single unit. The Inquisitors' henchmen are formatted the same way. I imagine it's because they couldn't get a unit with so many options on a single datasheet so they're done as individual 1+ units.

the section between the fluff and datasheets is usually a bunch of photos of the minis.

E.g. In the Deathwatch section,this part is called "Hunters of the Alien"

Considering I said that as soon as it was posted, no.

So, I notice that that leaked index makes no mention of a "Vestal Task Force" mentioned in the front line gaming review.

Also, I like to run as allies to my sisters of battle army:

Inquisitor, priest, 5 Death Cults and 4 Crusaders and a Psyker (using the old penitent model) all in a land raider redeemer.

I could live with the loss of Celestine.

The loss of my fluffy inquisitor squad is rather annoying.
