One thing I didn't see posted (might have missed it obviously), regarding the pricing of the army box. The article stated that the codex will be a limited edition codex, so that will absolutely jack the price up. However, I'm still thinking this will make a nice Xmas gift for myself for a New Year project.

Devil's Advocate time:
The article states:
After waiting for so long, you all deserved something very special, and that’s what this Sisters of Battle Army Set delivers. This packed box kicks off your Adepta Sororitas force in style. Including a swathe of stunning new plastic models and a limited edition codex, this one is dedicated to you die-hard Sisters of Battle fans as a reward for your unwavering faith.
"Limited edition codex" here could mean a lot of different things. Given that it seems like the box has been built around this concept of "it's a way for new and existing players to kick off an army"? I don't think it will be something that "jacks the price up" like you're thinking.
I'm fully expecting the box to clock in at around $200, tops. The pack is implied to be a limited edition item in and of itself, so they're fully expecting to sell out--they likely will have a price cut built in.

Gonna repost this, because I really think some of you will be disappointed:
xttz wrote: "limited edition codex" makes me wonder if it's going to be a mini paperback codex covering just the models in the box, like the Vanguard & Daemonkin books.
Then once everyone has had a chance to get their army box painted up they'll drop the full codex and rest of the range in early 2020.

Ok that image of the sisters fighting Tau? I'm 90% sure thats the same image of the Tau fighting deathguard, just with the deathguard removed and sisters added in.

Wait... Are you implying they reused art?
Cause I most definitely can see that the artist involved in this piece is Kevin Chin, while the one you're referring to was made by Johan Grenier...
In fact, let's look at that other piece of artwork...

In this scene, we can see the Triumph of Saint Katherine – the funeral procession of a fallen saint. A divine light is pouring down onto the consecrated body as it lies in state, and a fearsome Battle Sister has hewn down a number of heretics who foolishly sought to desecrate her remains.
I'm confuzzled.
Is it a funeral procession, or is the body lying in state? I'm not sure that you can have both at once..?
Is it supposed to be St Katherine's funeral? Why would there be Genestealer cultists attacking her funeral? Why would the Sister have red robes and not black?

So... battle sisters, seraphim, arco flagellants, penitent engine, celestine, demios rhino. Repentia still look entirely out of place style-wise.
No sign of new units or wargear other than the shield (protectiva?) in the second image. Attack cherubs perhaps.
What about the big tower thingy in the middle of the image? That could be some kind of large Screaming Bell type model, dragged/carried along by what looks like a mass of Servitors/Fraternis militia.
Also the second image could be the basis for some kind of awesome Ark of the Covenant style unit, similar to a Black Coach, where a few specialist sisters carry the ark around to buff nearby models.

Could be, but to scale it would tower over a knight. Possible scenery release similar to the drill, or just background material.

When news first came out about the sisters i had no interest in them at all but now I’m really thinking about picking some up to go with my black Templar’s wip army .
Also keeping an eye out for the anvil industry’s not sisters of battle minis.

That's what I'm thinking, an ark of the covenant type piece, would be cool.

Repentia in the art don't work for me either. I'm kind of hoping the Arcoflagellant is not too good a realization of the model either. I think it could do with a little more definition. Especially the head. More cables, more integration with the drug dispenser, that sort of thing. Good to get a sneak peek of it, though.
But seriously, all I see in that picture is that the Repentia come off as a young aristocrat sorority that joined a real army to show off their neat fencing skills while looking totally in vogue in their stylish clothes. Cannot unsee. This is horrible.

The funeral procession might be moving very, very slowly.
Or maybe Saint Katherine is lying still with heretofore unthinkable velocity.

Prepare to see "embellishments" added to all the existing background which shows us "what really happened".
Kind of like the Horus Heresy. Things you never wanted to know will be seen in excruciating detail, brought to you by the finest writers GW could find among its janitorial staff.
It will be a sight to see!
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!

So I made an unintended joke about tau always getting their gak kicked in in official artwork apparently. I was implying they reuse art assets. However, no matter how hard I look I can't find the image that is giving me this deja vu so maybe I'm just crazy. I just swear I've seen that exact pose of the fire warriors clumped in the middle of the frame before.

I like the new art, dark and baroque and very much not bright tacticool scifi like some of the primaris stuff, or too noblebright paladin looking all lawful good (or pretty women making pretty face in pretty poses). Can someone more familiar with recent GW art/dex if the “No model no rules” and “Artwork is always exactly like the models” extend to “Since you have a cool tower and an assault cherubim on the picture you can expect to put both on the table”? That would be pretty funny to have Cherubim Attack Squads, they could get into an epic showdown against grots .
The haircut on the first artwork is pretty weird though.

I don't mean to be rude but I see them on two out of the three repentias. Only the one on the left seems to miss them.

I, see, the anti-plugist flat-earthery continues. You can clearly see the plugs on their arms.

I would be mainly expecting the sword and shield option. I really hope that's a thing.

It really started with the chaos release. The first picture of the tiny spider monster (Urban Conquest art?) that became a model. This followed by the Arch Discordant (way in the back of artwork) and the chaos chaplain dude (in same artwork). Not saying it's a specific pattern, but the ark could really be a thing and would sit in a Sisters army quite well.

I don't think that is a very fair characterization. Sure, at least some people were into the greater level of cheesecake on offer with RH, but at the time they were released the choices for modern Sisters-styld minis were the modern resin sculpts by RH - not all of which were cheesecake - vs the ancient, expensive metal ones by GW with no real promise of a plastic update in the near future.
That there would turn out to be plastic models for Sisters 4 years later wasn't predictable.

I bought some RH not-Terminators and riders. But I put enough green stuff on them to bulk up the midsection a bit and remove the boobplate that I'm comfortable ERJAK wasn't talking about me.

Well, at risk of being called a GW sycophant, I really like everything I have seen regarding this release. The models, The Art work. Literally everything...
I wonder if we will see some new plastic war priests, Redemptor Kyrinov (One of my fav 40k models ever), or Throne of Judgement? Loved all those dudes.

This was mostly said in response to yet another person who said 'these are trash, raging heroes better 'cause sexy'. Sometimes you fight fire with fire.
