What big flying thing?

The chapter locked special character whose name I can't recall as I don't plan to play martyr ladies all that much so have no interest in buying special character I can't even use much.

But the one in big floating eagle statue with some multi meltas at the bottom.

Possibly Junith Eruita, the flying pulpit

AAAAAGH! They are going for slow-burn it seems. Codex, card, dices, batle sister box, retribution box, the triumph and no mention of others. Not even HQ.

*Sigh* This is annoying. Well, I wont be buying anything until they release the Repentia as I need spare Repentia heads for other kits.

sorry if this is common knowledge, but are all the vehicles separate kits or you build all 3 from one kit?

Right that's the one.

Ah well. This is slightly annoying. Was hoping to get playable 2k force without allies ASAP but looks like come february I'm STILL going to be missing units. In fact wouldn't surprise me if something comes in march. Good news that's latest anything should be coming

Ah well. 4 sister box, 2 retribution boxes and dices if I get lucky are coming up.

Really surprised not even basic HQ was put in. I would have expected the core HQ to be at least in first week but guess GW doesn't believe giving in legal battallion week 1...

Separate kits. The boxes for the Exorcist and Immolater were on display at the open day.

That's the ? yeah but what we can tell 95% sure is that exorcist/immolator and rhino are different kits. The rhino is mars pattern, the other 2 are deimos pattern. Whole different pattern of hull. I can't see them doing that much alternative parts to one box.

Exorcist and immolators MIGHT be shared box but...That still feels too much alternative parts. Would expect solo kits but if any vehicles share kits it's those 2.

Ah cheers. It's not all that big so I got confused. Was hoping for some unseen crazy flying cathedral thing.

welp my wallets crying. a slow burn might actually work to my advantage if It means I get my pay cheque in between releases.

Am I the only that is freaked out by the very lively looking heart on the coffin?

Just a point but when GW released Ossiarchs they released very little in the first week. It was the second week where they dropped almost the entire army worth of models in one go. They might be doing the same for Sisters. Release a few core units and a big showcase (ergo you are guaranteed to get some sisters of battle regular troops and if you want that big display model you're getting it as soon as you can). Then in the second week release the rest, giving gamers a week to read their codex and make choices on units that are not "core" to the army.



In fact if I recall right they didn't actually release any models in the first week save for the Feast of Bones boxed set. The rest was terrain, endless spells, dice, cards, battletome. It was the second week that they dropped almost the entire range worth of models (basically everything except the duel army box unique model)

What is with GWs obsession with printing faction dice that aren't readable? These are some of the absolute worst ones yet.

You should. It's the very heart of the corpse lying in the coffin - St Katherine herself.

Faction dice are silly anyway. But I guess these would make nice miracle dice, you don't roll those in large numbers, so quick readability is not super important.

Hopefully you are right!

Though there's still that "sometime next year" for seraphim which indicates non-january for them. And unlikely to be only one that would get delayed. So hopefully next week is like 10 kits more leaving 3(including seraphim) for later release.

Furthermore you don't really WANT to roll that unreadable ones so you are less likely to accidentally pick them up for your next dice roll thus deleting your MD!

I don't understand why they keep making multiple faces have special symbols. It makes everything so much harder.

So they just decided to cut open their saint and display her organs to all to see. Lovely.


Hopefully they did that after she died. Never know with these fanatics around.

They are probably going to release all the boxes over the next couple of weeks, no? They usually do slow burns for big release that take a month or so.

Hopefully they include a start collecting set with a Canoness, a BSS and some Seraphim/Zephyrims.

When, in the entire history of GW, have they released a start collecting box alongside and initial push of a new faction?

There won’t be a Start Collecting with new kits with the release. It’ll be a year or so later (or not, in the case of GSC who are still waiting).

Where is this ‘sometime in 2020’ thing you keep quoting from?

In one of the event announcements on WarCom. (Much like the PA books and 'a character' that people seem determined to ignore)

Though given this week is all of three kits, anyone expecting 10 kits next week is setting themselves up for disappointment.

The likely Community posting in question does not say "sometime in 2020".

It says:

the full release of the Adepta Sororitas lands in early 2020,

units from the set will be getting their own multipart release in early 2020.

There's a direct mention, additionally, of January with regards to the Codex.

Then there was the Warhammer 40,000 Open Day which flatout said in reference to the revealed units in the video:

You won’t even have long to wait – you’ll be able to get ahold of all of these stunning new units early next year.

I am less annoyed with the staggered release and more annoyed by people using the word "dices".

I thought they'd at least release the Canoness with the first wave?

I liked the design itself and did think of getting them as miracle dice; but blimey these are a pain actually. The five is the four with a little pip in the centre, and where multiple fleurs-de-lys indicate the numbers, the single fleur is of course meant to represent 6, because it's a bigger. Well, at least that means I don't have to refresh the webstore intensively come release morning...

I'm not a big fan of the dice, which is a shame. GW gets it right with the blood bowl and necromunda dice, unique colors and faction logo on the six.

Well those new faction dices are a little too plain, quite the opposite of the actual miracle dices from the faction box, that were a little bit too custom and not really legible!
GW don't do no middle ground lol!

Hello yes I heard you asked for a healthy dose of CATHOLICISM did you know they eat their god all the time? Catholics are provably making the most 40k places in the world.
NSFW:

Catholics manage to make reality stranger and more extreme than fiction, even when said fiction is as over the top as 40k is

How do you know? Maybe it is one and the skull is six? Who knows? Maybe you can decide after you rolled?

AAAAAGH! They are going for slow-burn it seems. Codex, card, dices, batle sister box, retribution box, the triumph and no mention of others. Not even HQ.

The Triumph is an HQ, available for all orders. You need to buy it. Now.

Well, I guess most Battle Sisters players own either the new Canoness from the box, Celestine or Veridyan. So they should survive a week or a month.

Keep going down, below the repentia pictures:

Packed with dynamic poses and plenty of options for customisation, this set will be great for fleshing out your Repentia squads – and flensing the flesh from your enemies! Look out for these sometime next year.

So, yes, it does say sometime in [2020]
