Have GW ever said why they haven't made new models for Sisters yet?

Because they are always saying how much demand they receive and how surprisingly popular they are.

Why wouldn't you just make them?

Hell in this very article they were bigging Sisters up to the high heavens!

The technology just isn't there yet.

I remember reading somewhere that they could never get the molds to look how they wanted, and now with Celestine and the Twins we can see that they can. So it's probably just a matter of time.

It is not even like they'd have to be fantastically popular, just as popular than genestealer cults, as sisters could be easily made as similar relatively limited set of kits. Anyhow, this is probably enough of this subject.

I honestly cannot imagine them selling less than Genestealer Cults.
I can't remember anyone really calling for Cults to comes back much.
I see people asking for Sisters every day!

If they made plastic sisters I'd do my Inquisition super friends army. A Watch Company or two, company of Grey Knights and whatever the equivalent of a company of sisters is.

No one wants them, not enough recourse for a complete overhaul and they have problems with their haircut made in plastic

Hahaha just like no-one wanted Genestealer cults, Deathwatch or Harlequins?

Looks at Gather Storm character set 1. Wrong on both accounts.

Big fear is they bring out plastic Sisters and they cost as much as Witch Elves. Sales never appear and GW writes them off because 10 Sisters costing more money than a full tactical squad of Marines is just bonkers.

Ican tell you that they actually DID have a problem with designing them in plastic for years, one of the major things was that they couldn't get the hair to look right.The new stuff looks good and theyve increased skill and tech in the plastics department a lot over the years. It may not be a problem now however.

This thread is NOT for Sister of Battle Speculation - please go create a thread (or find an existing one?) for that.

Thanks!

Edit: My bad

I believe it was somewhere in this monstrous thread, but I can't seem to locate it: someone made a cleaned up version of the Primaris Space Marine scheme painting tool, would anyone be able to send me the link?

Thanks

EDIT: got it, thanks Reese!

I see what Frontline Gaming was talking about with not liking the "Explodes" rule.

Have watched a few battle reports, and damn it is devastating to the units around them.

Even psykers that perils of the warp, if you have them in a gunline at the back, you are going to have a bad time.

I'm not sure if it's the same one but the one I posted a few days back is linked below in my sig.

It was, fantastic work there warboss!

Vehicles exploding and being a real problem might make buggies and Trukks a great suicide unit. I DARE your to kill my Trukks that just sped into the middle of your army.

For those of us who didn't watch the stream, what is the issue with exploding vehicles? Previous editions had exploding vehicles if you rolled a 5 or 6 depending on the vehicle and weapon on the damage chart... or is this some sort of simplification gone horribly wrong?

Exploding vehicles now deal Mortal Wounds, so Terminator or Grot you die all the same.

Makes transports scary if you destroy them in CC.

I'm reminded of a 3rd Edition game where we had what came to be known as the "Over-Enthusiastic Warlock".

He, along with his unit of Guardians, ended up in HTH with a Sentinel. The Guardians could do anything, but the Warlock sure could, and he smacked that lil' walker with his Witchblade as hard as his little Space Elf arms would let him.

BOOOOOOM!

The Sentinel exploded, wiping out the entire Guardian unit and leaving the Warlock standing in a crater all alone.


But don't worry guys. Exploding vehicles dealing mortal wounds isn't as bad as the poor souls inside the vehicle, who die instantly no matter how many wounds they have, because in the Grim Darkness of the 41st millennium the insides of transport vehicles are all rigged with Vortex grenades.

Yeah... that's pretty stupid.

Was this ever talked about? This came from War of Sigmar. I hope these end up coming with White Dwarf. It is suppose to be in the Start Painting kit. Seems weird since there is a SM one that only came out last year.

They only explode when the reach 0 wounds and then you roll a 6, when it does happen it's devastating though, in worried about warlock who have 2 wounds and need to be stood 3" away from a unit to give them the buff from their psychic powers, perils causes D3 mortal wounds and if it kills the psycher every unit within 6" also takes D3 mortal wounds.

very reminiscent of the Stormcast that came with a WD. As someone with no current interest in the Primaris it will be nice to have one in the flesh if it comes with a WD.

Spoiler:

Was there not some thing where if you went into a GW store and preordered All The Things on Saturday there you got a free Primaris?

You'd hope they'd give them away with the WD, but if they're using them as preorder incentives they may well not.

May's WD hinted we'd be getting a free mini sometime soon. We also got free storm casts when AoS dropped (not me, I forgot to pick the magazine up. Derp.), and AFAIK most new editions have free minis.

White Dwarf isn't out until the Friday before the Saturday release, so they could be used for both.

I can't find where it says this, is that truly the case?!
(Not the bit about vortex grenades...)

The actual "explodes" rule is on the appropriate datasheets (Rhino, Trukk, etc). When it is reduced to 0 wounds, before removing it from the battlefield and before occupants disembark, you roll a die. On a 6 it explodes, and each unit within 6" takes D3 mortal wounds.

In the rules for Transports, when one is destroyed the occupants disembark and you roll a die for each model. On a 1, that model is slain.

So lots of 1-in-6 chances of things happening, but most of the time it will just die and you'll lose maybe a couple of models from inside, unless you're surrounded in melee....

Based on the rules, encircling rhinos by charging seems super easy if they are alone and without tank shock, they are pretty hopeless to get away by themselves. Unit of 30 hormagaunts should be a fearsome sight for a rhino rush player.
