How dare they modernize the designs of twenty plus year old models! The nerve!

**Adeptus Doritos**

Well, good. Now we can transition into people whining about their rules instead of just not having the models.

About time. And mock-up isn't bad.

Can't believe GW have ruined the plastic SoB range by *checks notes* putting bilateral ejection ports on the boltgun of the first CAD preview of a model.

Yeah - I'm out.

ugh, now GW also think that renders were in any way acceptable or by anybody deemed attractive?

If the models aren’t done, it’s either renders or nothing. I know which I’d prefer.

**pretre**

Nothing dulls your excitement for a release like popping into one of these threads. lol

**Binabik15**

Weird discussion, especially since I prefer bolters to be caseless in the background but the massive ejection port(s) makes the weapon much more brutal looking on the actual mini here compared to the older bolters or lasguns.

Give me a Schrödinger-pattern bolter any day.

**MonkeyBallistic**

I honestly can’t believe some people are finding reasons to complain

In my eyes she’s bloody perfect! No disrespect to Karl Kopinski, but she’s actually better than the artwork she’s based on. The model actually fixes some of the shonky proportions in the art.

**Galas**

My only reaction to this:

Spoiler:

**pretre**

They need to make a basing range based on that.

A basing range based on her base? That’d be a good basis to base a basing range on. Any objection would be baseless

**Davor**

Oh my. A few posts about "the face". So in other words it's not sex enough? Geez what do you expect they have been in many battles. Of course they are going to be scared up.

Just because the mini is female doesn't have to be sexualized. What is the next complaint going to be? Too much clothing?

**John Prins**

I'm really happy about this model, full stop. It's basically everything I wanted the new iteration of SoB to be - armor that looks like armor, still obviously feminine.

My only dilemma at this point is choosing a color scheme.

**Aesthete**

My reaction: 100% pure yes.

**phillv85**

I'm happy with the aesthetic, they'll fit with the metal models as long as they're not a head taller. Great work gee dubs.

**inflatablefriend**

That looks pretty damn great, glad they're sharing the renders of the work as they go rather than working in silence (and a decent couple of renders too, none of this shonky default Redwax matcap amateurishness).

I doubt I'll become a SoB player, but for sure I'll be picking this up and maybe a few more to go into my Imperial hotpot.

**petrov27**

very very happy with this - cannot wait to see more of the planned range

**BobtheInquisitor**

All I can say is, "Poor, poor Shieldwolf."

I'm in for all the blinged out sisters and all the plain-Jane sisters. So long as they have helmets.

**Nostromodamus**

Universal praise at GW announcing that they will be showing the development of the SoB range, then we get comments like “why is it just a render? Where are the actual models?”

**Blackie**

It's an amazing model but I wish it will be a character, not a standard sister: it's too detailed for a basic troop. Otherwise a squad of 5 girls will cost 45+ $ I fear.

It also looks quite monopose and I'd like to start a sister army in which the majority of the models are magnetized in order to play WYSIWYG using the models as battle sisters, retributors, dominions, characters, etc...

**AegisGrimm**

I am really liking how they intend to modernize the details, but without changing them. I personally don't mind if they are slightly different from my metal ones in the presicion of detail, but the overall aesthetic is still of the Sisters I used to love.

Do we know it is not a character mini? Aren't most monopose minis based off of iconic pieces of art characters or special collectible minis?

**gigasnail**

I have always said if they actually did plastic sisters I'd have another army.

Looks like I'll have another fething army.

**Tannhauser42**

Looks good. I already have the Raging Heroes stuff, so I'm more interested in the vehicles GW will do.

**AegisGrimm**

Oh, I can think of a couple posters where if they show up it'll go downhill pretty quick, especially about sexualization.

I for one am eager to see where GW heads with Sisters.

**godswildcard**

Strange....

I keep throwing my wallet at my screen but nothing is happening...

Anyone else getting that error?

**Casbyness**

Love this model, but I'd be far more excited to see rank and file Sisters plus previews of a new Codex. If they had explained that this was a specific character I'd be happier, I really hope GW don't derp out this time and we get proper rules for Veridyan, etc.

The ornate base and scars are a bit much. I think this model is great for representing Miriya though.

Wallets don't work anymore with modern GW, routing numbers are preferred.

**BrookM**

Not starting a new army just yet, but the preview model is most certainly a must-have for me, an excellent model based on the Karl Kopinski art.

A nice update without going overboard or going in a completely new direction.

It’s a special prerelease model based exactly on the bit of artwork. I doubt the others will be quite so ornate.
