Bah. It's the reqular codex that has boring cover. Starter set meanwhile is very evocative while not being overly busy.

Thought I was the only one who preferred the codex cover from the box set. Glad it's not just me.

one nice thing about the codex from the box set is it features a sister of the argent shroud instead of Our Martyred Lady

She's Order of the Ebon Chalice - pic is reproduced on P25 in the Ebon Chalice section. That's what I'm going to paint mine up as.

I think I prefer the regular cover to my battle box one.

Heresy! Buuuuuurn!

*jk* But I love the box set one. In fact without that I might have been able to wait for starting sisters bit longer but as I love that cover and it was on limited edition box I just had to get the box while I had the chance. If didn't prefer this cover that much I cold have waited longer before starting sisters. First time cover of codex influenced my purchaces. Well it didn't make me start army(was planning anyway) but hastened it 6-12 months likely.

I think I'll try to exchange my Box codex with a regular one ^^. Not sure but if I find someone actively looking for the box cover I will definitely do!

Ooh, good idea. I’m not the most social person but I’ll see if I can make that work.

shou;ldn't be toooo hard there's bound to be someone happy to trade a standard 'dex for a CE

the limited edition seems to features bloody rose

I prefer the standard cover over the special ones. I usually do, though, not just in the case of Sisters.

Special cover so good I bought the book. Looked at the other one just now and it doesn’t half look like the old Eldar codex from 2006ish

It's weird that the Sisters appear to be getting slaughtered on their own Codex cover...

Are they getting slaughtered? I'm not seeing Grey Knights on any of the covers.

It's called "earning miracle dice".

only on the LE cover, but honestly sisters dying is part of their schtick. the whole "the faithful whom will be martyr's for the emperor" bit

Has this been posted here yet?

So one model fights, and the others pelt enemies with flowers and incense?


This would be an amazing diorama.
As a mass produced plastic kit, GW's taken all the craftsmanship out of somebody's big project, and made a weirdly impractical terrain piece instead of several options for canoness(es) and lieutenants.

At keast sister canoness got way more options than many others. Compared to other armies sisters got it good.

I just want the Sisters that are in that kit, rather than the kit itself.

'Spose I can turn the body into an objective, and then base the others separately.

Nice angle.
For collectors with bitz for games and conversions.
Can be a minor terrain piece or objective with some very cool figs.
If it is real I wonder at the pp ... 50euro?

Ok... just read the this diorama thing will be 110usd....
Wow.

Yeah, I'm tempted to do the same. They'd make great character models. And considering how GW's character clampacks are priced it might be relatively cost-effective too.

So hey if Celestine has the armour of st Katherine should I feel free to imagine these gals angrily shaking their fists at her as she flies past?

I was sort of wondering how the skeleton still had armor on.
Also, how do they have her heart? Unless they preserved it elsewhere, I'd kinda figure her heart would be gone by now, seeing as how she was a skeleton and all.

If this didn't stop real-life catholic (look at the spoilered picture), no way it'll stop the 40k space catholics!

It’s part of her legend that when she was exhumed (because her tomb was under threat or something) they found her heart perfectly preserved, just sitting there in her otherwise skeletonised body, a minor miracle of preservation.

The Ecclesiarchy is very good at coming up with nonsense relics.

Church of the Damned, one of the Dark Heresy books, has a relic that is three skulls of the same saint (one at age 12, one at age 50 and the other at age 150).

Think about that for a moment.

........... IT'S A MIRACLE!


in all seriousness though yeah, I mean the ecclisiarchy is intended to be a satire of the RCC and well.. plenty of stuff there about some of the sillyness with relics.

Eh, who knows how those ‘juvenat’ treatments really work?
Besides, I’m pretty sure that’s a parody of a ‘real’ pair of relics that are both the skull of some saint, but I forget who.

I mean it’s not like there aren’t enough Nails from Jesus’s Hands and Fragments of the True Cross lying around to not just recreate all three crosses from the hill that day but also build a duplicate of Noah’s Ark…

Fortunately, I have the Humble Bundle and I was able to track down the most sacred of artifacts, for those interested.

the tri-skull of saint uther
Three skulls of Saint Uther the Cataplast, one at age twelve, one at age fifty, and one at age one hundred and fifty are surprisingly real relics. The first can be verified as Saint Uther’s with an Easy (+30) Medicae Test. The second bears markings suffered by Uther on behalf of an Ogryn who was protecting Lord Commissar Erranet that can be authenticated with a Challenging (+0) Common Lore (War) Test. Lastly, the third skull is pitted with shrapnel, a wound that an Easy (+30) Scholastic Lore (Imperial Creed) Test identifies as the ninety-ninth wound that finally killed Saint Uther. This is possible only through a true miracle as many details of the wounds match sealed documents.

SEE IT'S IMPOSSIABLE ANY SKULL COULD HAVE THOSE INJURIES BUT THE TRUE SAINTS! A MIIIIIIIIRACLE!

PRAISE THE EMPEROR.. and pass the ammunition!

I plan on converting the sisters into characters, and the rest into a battle sanctum.
