British people can. If you're in NA it's actually not worth it to get 2. There's almost no discount on the second one.

So exactly what the leaks said it would be?

Yeah, that cements me not gettin' this one. Best keep my eyes open for the rest of the line release, and most importantly, the codex.

I'm from the Netherlands and the 160 euro I think its still worth it getting to, selling one codex + datacards for the price of the normal one

Hmm, 160€ is not nearly cheap enough to make it an auto buy but not expensive enough to outright dismiss it either.

Great. Now I have to think! Thanks, GW!

€160 is a bit more expensive than I hoped, but I can live with this.

People who seriously believed the box would be the price of a Start Collecting box will cry...

Or at least question their life choices, as there's a strong possibility they aren't good at estimating or making educated guesses.

Kinda disappointed this isn't in the range of ~Dark Imperium/Shadowspear, to be honest.

The price doesn't scare me off and I'm definitely keen on starting some sisters and showing support for the army receiving some love...but this price point is pretty much the upper limit of what feels "comfortable" for this box set, to me.

It's right about that price range, just with a Codex and Dice and Datacards bumping it up.

And frankly, I feel like that's an important thing to note.

You're not getting a little pamphlet with your rules. You're getting the full Codex.

I thought they were just showing normal white dice in the preview. Have sisters dice been spotted?

Ah, the box has the codex in it? Then I might pick a copy up. My finances aren't too bad at the moment, was going to delay but if it has the codex might as well buy it to take a peek.

Might be me having wires crossed, but I thought the dice shown in the preview had at least a fleur de lys and skull.

Other people were set on the box costing £250, as per the Warhammer Community Survey competition terms and conditions. Guess it shows how erratic GW's prices can be - with decent discounts on some deals, yet with vastly exaggerated prices for some limited edition stuff.


Not quite sure yet myself. I prefer the full boxes to have more options and random bits to add variation, but at the same time these specific builds are nice variants themselves.

Probably gonna be hard to offload those. the only people I can see who would want sisters but not be willing to shell out for at least one of these boxes are people who literally don't have the money for the box or people who don't plan to upgrade from the metals.

No one believed that. We were hoping for the price of shadowspear(a vastly superior value IMHO). Or you know, not eating a 50USD markup due to GW playing fast and lose with exchange rates.

Press F for australia and new zeeland btw.

Nope. Chinese leaks have them as plain white 6 sideds with no special symbols.

Likely actual SoB dice will come out with the full army release at 20+ dollars per 20 dice kit.

Yeah €165 is too expensive for a bunch of stuff I already own in mental that does the job just fine. I'm sure new players will be okay with it but if I was going to drop that amount on plastic it would be a mini-based board game and get three times the amount of plastic and an actually good game to use them in.

Maybe the dice have little fleurs as eyes. The resolution in the so called 'leak' was not good enough to know.

I am getting it for the codex and cards. To complete my Sisters Library. If the dex sucks, I will set up my metal Sisters to watch as I purge the plastic girls with fire in front of them.

If the dex is at Index/CA17 + level I will let the plastics live and trade them to a worthy Sisters player who is willing to let some metals go.

Let's not forget that it's the Limited Edition codex, not just regular, and they usually go for what $80? (not sure, never bought one). So now you're putting the minis themselves at $130.

it's pricey, but not terrible (at least not compared to Necromunda which is an immediate no bueno)

Although I have so many projects in hand...i think I'm in on this one.

240 USD is going to work out to 310-315 CAD. That's a hard pass. I'll wait for mutli-part plastics and the lower priced codex.

I think it is “A limited edition codex”, not “THE limited edition codex”. It sounds like it’s exclusive to the box. Make of that what you will though when it comes valuing it, i wouldn’t know where to start

I think its described as a special edition not a Limited Edition.

Is the box limited itself do we know?

the WC article calls it "Exclusive Edition of Codex: Adepta Sororitas", so make of that what you will, could be special, could be limited.

I would also suspect that the box will be like all the other "special" boxes they do, battle forces, xmas etc, and it will be a limited run, followed eventually by Start Collecting and individual boxes of units.

It's $210 USD which will work out to around $250 CAD - what are you on about? Blood of the Phoenix is $230 USD/$280 CAD.

It'll be a stripped down version with only the rules for the models in the box and Acts Of Faith, strats, relics etc. Though it might not even include ALL of those. Like maybe only strats relevant to the models in the box, no warlord traits etc. I'd be surprised if we see the full codex before Feburary.

I thought that it was already sure that it was the complete codex but with different art.

Im with you there, KK..



Might get the new one for the Exorcist .. but not seeing a need for a new Immolator. Gonna be hard to add a Heavy Bolter though if that is a thing

I really want to want it, but without a working detachment I think I'll have to wait for the actual releases.

Yes, compared to a Bugatti, a Lamborghini is quite a deal. Of course neither of those things is reasonable priced and neither are these.

I'll wait for the squads and pick the ones I want. I'm OK paying Corvette prices for Fieros.

I thought that they had confirmed it was a full Codex?
