What the feth is going on with this model?

Still waiting for the email to say its in stock so there are probably none to be had. It appears that GW assumed they would sell a few hundred and be done with it but were wrong.

The woman there was giving me all this crap about 'well because it's made of resin, we can only make like 50 before the mold breaks...' 'this wouldn't be a problem if it was plastic as those masters last forever '
So I was like 'why the heck didn't you make it out of plastic then!?

GWs incompetence over this thing is staggering.

Northern England store? If it's the one I'm thinking of she's rather unpleasant.

Nah, Lincoln.
To be fair to the women, it's not her fault.
She is clearly caught in a gak situation.

Yeah stores managers normally know less than us and even if they do know something - GW has been so obsessed with secrecy that they have to be extremely careful.

Well, I managed to get a Canoness from the local GW today but the manager felt that he didn't have enough for his central core of regulars.


Additionally, GW seem to attempting to cater for customers who may not want both flyers from the Stormcloud Attack boxes by giving you the option for the rules and one flyer:

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Ork-Dakkajet-Flight-Ready-Bundle
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Eldar-Crimson-Hunter-Flight-Ready-Bundle

or just the rules:

People who have the immolator: is it actually half resin?

All plastic when I bought the updated version (not the original 2nd Ed plastic/ metal model).

I have no idea why it is advertised as plastic and resin now:

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sisters-of-Battle-Immolator-2016

"This multi-part plastic and resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble an Immolator, armed with a twin-linked heavy flamer, heavy bolter or multi-melta."



The Exorcist is still advertised as plastic/ metal.

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sisters-of-Battle-Exorcist

The Canoness is a 10 part miniature and sprued, a fair bit more modelling required than I imagined.

If they really did update the Immolator to all plastic, isn't that cause for some fanfare?

Which bit was not plastic before? I have about 7 and I thought they were all plastic?

Immolators are all plastic. I think they are confusing the Immo with the Exorcist, which is a hybrid plastic/metal kit.

I really am kinda pissed off that I couldn't get the Canoness.

Sold out within minutes online and none in store.

Did GW really not see the demand they would get for the 1st new Sisters model in like 20 years?

My mistake. I was thinking of the Exorcist.

Yup. I grabbed one on eBay for only a $10 markup, which is annoying as all hell but could have been worse I suppose.


Edit: aaaaaand she's back in stock on GW's USA sight. FML.

She's going to be made to order, so you might just have to watch the site.

Yeah, she moved from "Preorder" to "New Releases" on the US site and is instock:

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Sisters-of-Battle-Canoness-Veridyan

She (edit) was available in the UK too, limited to one per order

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sisters-of-Battle-Canoness-Veridyan

Appears to have gone already. Poor Sisters players.

Just picked up my copy, and if Im reading this right the Inquisition section is insane.

25 points for an inquisitor in an inquisitor formation with a free warlord trait? And theres no cap on how many you can take?

Whats to stop you taking 6 and getting all the warlord traits from, I dunno, tactical?

Do they double up? Like if I manage to roll 6 times on Strategic and get "divide to conquer" every time does that mean my opponents reserve rolls are at a -6 and therefore never come on?

I must be reading this wrong, right?

Edit: oh, and they made the needle pistol AP 6 for no damn reason, thanks for that.

I managed to get my order in 6 minutes after I received the e-mail saying that she was back in stock.

As long as they keep producing more at least everyone who wants one will eventually have it.

Yep email came in whilst Iw as away from comouter - came back - "out of stock"

just shows no one wants Sisters models............. oh wait

I find it crazy just how rare and limited this model is. I can't remember GW selling anything that was this hard to get.

Daft really, it just gives more opportunities to the eBay scalpers and recasters.

Anyone can have mine for £30. Not sure if I'm good enough to assemble this sucker.

Except it is not rare or even ltd as GW have confirmed it will be getting produced as regular stock.

The Canoness [page says it will be back in stock on Wed 21 Dec.

That might just be the UK pages though.

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Sisters-of-Battle-Canoness-Veridyan

You do realize that the cannoness is coming back? It's not a limited model...

Some unlucky chap at the GW production facility will spend the next few months making Canoness Veridyan while muttering "why didn't they make this in plastic".

At least there will be proof people want Sisters of Battle.

Honest, this really shows how popular they are as an army.

They make one new model, and they literally cannot make enough of them!

Those mythical "8 sisters players" must have a huge pile of resin to play with right now

Yes lets hope they see it as a missed opportunity and decide to do some Sisters rather than "wow think of how many more it would have sold if it was a Marine."

I'm half convinced that the whole "Made to Order" initiative is caused by one of the old metal mold-guys' annual review.
Manager: You're retiring next year? What would you like to do between now an then?
OMMG: Metal. I'm done with the plastic press. Damn thing runs itself.
Manager: What about resin? We don't do metal anymore, and your skills are useful there.
OMMG: Metal. Resin is crap. Just give me ingots and I'll turn out howmany ever of anything... as long as it is in metal.
Manager: Um... I guess we can do that... but demand for the metal ones aren't going to be high. You'll have to clean the bathrooms when we don't have orders for you to fill.
OMMG: Deal.

Pretty sure that OMMG is whistling at work and the manager is cleaning the breakroom bathroom.
