That is excellent!

Is that the same Hospitaler we saw before? It looks slightly different, but I might be misremembering.

I dig all of them, they aren't perfect, but they are good enough. I'm ready for these even if my wallet definitely isn't.

Personally, I think I'd be unlikely to get it, except to use as terrain when making a cathedral perhaps

It is a nice set piece. Probably more of a buffing unit than an offensive unit though. It seems to be armed with 2 multi-meltas and doesn't seem that sturdy.
I'm thinking a character type unit that has a similar role to a CCB.

There is a hospitaler behind the Pulpit, yes.
There's another character off to the side though, and I don't recognize it.

The dialogus

...hm. Repeated Heavy Bolter.

OMG... This range is going to be absolutely incredible.

The weapons look more like flamers to me; they have the igniter bit and round vent-holes.

That one appears to be another Canoness pose, based on the finial of her Rod of Office. The one on the pulpit itself has a totally different one. Maybe a higher rank?

Maybe it is a Canoness Superior. A lot of people have been wanting to see these ranks integrated into the rules. I just hope it isn't a special character tied to a specific order.

There is also something of note in the bottom left I can't place. A staff or some kind of ornament. Wonder what it could be.

It also looks like that eagle mount thing was photoshopped to some degree, like whatever the lower part is mounted on was likely cut out to help it fit onto the picture. I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole model is mounted on a tank like the Exorcist and Immolator are, or, maybe, an even bigger vehicle...? One can hope.

This release gets better and better every day

You know, in all the discussion about vehicles getting Acts of Faith, I didn't even think to mention that it may be irrelevant when it comes to using Miracle Dice to no blow up. Destiny Dice can only be used to replace specific rolls. There are a lot of different rolls you can replace with them, but you can't use them for just anything. We should probably wait to see if Miracle Dice can even be used on "don't blow up" rolls before we start making it part of our strategy.

Really digging 'this is literally Mecha-Church kicking your face off' aesthetic.

There is a big empty space behind it, and I don't see a stand lifting the platform up.
In fact, in the image it really does look like the platform is just floating.

Perhaps GW has learned how to photoshop and tease models in clever ways? Or maybe its a hoax?

Edit : On closer inspection, I think I do see a hint of a clear base. I'm not sure though.

Looking closer at the pic, those pengines appear to have new guns and the battle sister squad that's the clearest has a multimelta, TWO flamers AND a heavy bolter in a 10 girl squad.

Which is a nutty amount of weapons for 10 people.

Edit, might be regular melta.

The squad at the bottom has a new looking gun that might be a snub nose melta, might be something else.

Love the floating pulpit.

Yeah, I just don't recall seeing a Hospitaler with a book.

For clarity, I am talking about the one that I labeled as 3 in this picture.



1 is likely some sort of Canoness. 2 is likely a Dialogus.

Definitely looks like a hospitaller.

The new one does have a book

We saw the Hospitaller in a bulletin a few months ago

I'd be very happy if most things come with some "book" accessory/option. I converted all my old metal Sister Superiors to have books way back when the BoSL was the go-to option. I'd love to carry forward a sort of book theme.

Well, I'm just dumb and forgot it had the book,

Four special weapons in a ten man squad? Stay off Scion turf, sisters!

That's exactly the same amount of weapons you would get on 10 battle sisters in the beta dex, they'd just be two squads of five.

I read that as penguin.

The idea of the IoM fielding weaponized penguins is funny to me.

I’m sure penguins have sinned in some way. They must earn their repentance.

Adeptus Ministorum Priest : Do you accept the Emperor as your lord and savior?

Penguin : quark quark!

Priest : That was not a yes. HERESY!

Ha, I like the battle pulpit. So there are some new units coming, cool.

That's pretty clearly an image from the same photo shoot and editing session that produced the high res images currently leading the Community articles-- Gothic cathedral background, low-lying fog, etc. But I haven't seen that one before, and these images aren't great... is anyone seeing a high-res version we can scrutinize somewhere? Very cool implications, though, with new poses of old favs, potentially new HQs. If we can get a lieutenant-type HQ with a B-list aura to throw forward to fuel Miracle Dice... fun times!

You know, outside of that pic, I suspect the Pulpit is going to look astonishing, or very, very silly on the field.

Rumored name is Throne of Judgement, same name of Karamazov's pulpit.
