The exorcist is definitely designed with a sprue that makes up the bottom half and a second sprue with all the unique bits for the actual exorcist. Seems incredibly likely the Rhino will just have a different top and could very well include the immolator parts.

I noticed that building them too.

However, looking at the pictures of the new Rhino from Warhammer Community, it has different side doors, a different mount for the Hunter-Killer Missile, different exhausts, etc. It looks like it's the existing Space Marine Rhino with a larger than normal accessory sprue (front plate, doors, missile, stormbolter and some minor bits like the tow hooks).

Meanwhile the Immolator is the same bottom half as the Exorcist with a different top.

I hadn't really looked. Is it actually a new model or an old conversion/FW/etc?

New model.
See for yourself…

That does look distressingly like a conversion kit for the ancient rhino rather than a rhino built from the new kit specifically for sisters.

Seems like that's exactly what it is. From further back in the thread (spoilered for picture size):

Separate kits - the Rhino is a single conversion sprue:

It is. The SoB rhino is your standard plastic rhino with an upgrade sprue.

As for the Exorcist and Immo, i think the door shape and little side shrines are going to make it incompatible with the side - skirts of other rhino upgrade kits like the vindi or hunter, but I do have those parts and will give it a try.

Has anyone heard any news on when we might be getting our canoness kit?

I'm pondering using Novena as my first canoness, using a spare helmet to make her fit with my helmeted miniatures, but not gonna use her for all three ofc, and I don't like Veridiyan.

you say distressingly, I say "thankfully" mostly because if it was an entirely new kit using the same model as the exorcist it'd be 100 bucks a pop, if it's based on the old rhino it'll.. hopefully, be cheaper

Given all that remains to be released (Canoness, Rhino, Immolator, Imagifier, Dilogus, Seraphym/Zephirym and Repentia... is there a Repentia Superior mini outside of the Ltd. Ed box?), I'd say that there are two move waves left (*sigh*), and that they won't be 'til at least the week after next (next week is more Beastgrave stuff).

Dunno why they thought that a massively important HQ would be a good thing to delay the release of...

Likely 5-10 pounds more than marine rhino. Remember new sku's, new price hikes..

my bet is repenta will be 4 sister repenta and 1 repenta superior per box.

this is... actually potentially good news for people who wanna run a single large block of Repenta as additional repenta superiors will likely be great conversion fodder for things like canonnesses etc

Uuuh that would suck. Tons of identical poses...There's only so much you want to do. Top of that you would struggle to get sensible amount. Buy 3 boxes and have 12? Full squad is 9...With Ro3 that's 27 repentia so whatever you do you end up with spares and 7 superiors and pay arm and teeth for those...That would be very customer unfriendly. So much like for GW!

Also arco flagelants came in box of 10...

Hopefully GW is feeling generous enough to do the sensible 9+1. Even that sucks with spare superiors(you only need 1 anyway) but better than 4+1 with squad size of 9

Haven't we seen that there is far more variety to the Repentia than just 4? I'm betting a box of 10, just like the Archos. My fear is that there won't be a Repentia Superior in any kit - clampack or in a box - putting us into another Deffkopter situation (or a Death Guard/some Primaris minis situation - only worse).

I think it's a very nice conversion kit and the Rhino is still visually a pretty decent model (though some mechanical aspects of the kit are dated). I would not have been against them getting a plastic Deimos pattern, though.

It won't be 10 box without superior. Max squad size is 9. Has GW ever put box with more than unit's maximum?

nope never. to be honest the reason I assume a 4 repenta 1 superior box is because these days it's pretty rare to see any more then the smallest squad size for non troops from GW. I figure if we get a bigger box I'll be pleasently suprised.

The Repentia kit was previewed at the New Year's Open Day: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/30/reveals-from-the-warhammer-40000-open-daygw-homepage-post-1/

Unfortunately, it's two pictures, so we don't have everything together. To me, it looks like the Superior plus 9 Repentia since they are all slightly different (and the Superior would share zero parts with any of the models in the picture of 5).

Arco flagelants just got full squad in one box.

those Rependia shots from WarCom all look to me totally unique. I only see 2 Eviscerators that could be copies, one lady has a cyberleg, etc..

Not sure what to do with Repentia from the box set, that plus a 10 pack box will get more than a squad, and less than 2 squads..

Luckily got 2 sets so have 8. Need just to get 1 for full 27.

Wonder if sisters come this sunday. Sounds like adeptus titanicus will at least gets releases. Hopefully not only it

Me neither. Maybe it's a "PLEASE BUY OUR NAMED CHARACTERS PLEAAAAAASE?!?" type of thing?

I think it's a combination of "please buy Veridyan" and "oh crap we printed a huge second run of these limited boxed sets due to the day 1 sellout demand, now if we release the Canoness, Repentia and Seraphim boxes nobody will ever touch those limited sets again!".

The latter argument slightly falls down because if true they should have also delayed the Penitent Engines and Arcos, instead releasing the Rhino, Immolator, Imagifier and Dialogus. But maybe they didn't want to be too obvious about it

could also be there's been a delay in the shipment. I think thiough GW just doesn't wanna over focus on one game. thus they're taking a 2 week break to give AOS some love and then returning to 40k

That doesn't really excuse not having the basic HQ model released alongside the basic infantry. It'd be like if GW no longer sold a Space Marine Captain. Or any other non-named Space MArine HQ choice.

it's coming, I'm focusing on building and painting my girls, so the lack of the full range Im not sweating, now if they make us wait until June or something yeah I'm gonna be rightously pissed

Dunno. At this point I think they're using 40k as a spacer between AoS releases, at least until April. Dribble a few sisters here, a PA book and model there...
Winter/spring seems to have a lot of Elves, Underworlds and odds an ends (wrath and lizards) with giants looming like a shadow over everything else.

Then, suddenly, cyborgs.

Eeeh the release schedule was set up months ago...

People really underestimate lead times. Schedule was set and locked even before the limited edition came to sale first time...Which btw isn't still univesally available. No boxes here ever since first print came to sale and gw store doesn't sell it either. It's just certain stores that have it.

And nobody touch limited sets? Apart from being cheaper than individual boxes they also have one distinct advantage: All poses are different to multi part kits. Sister with bolter is sister with bolter and extra bits don't then matter. Sister superior w/bolt pistol&chainsword is same regardless of spare bits. BUT the limited set ones provide alternative poses...Seeing the multi part are no more posable than the limited sets the sisters suffer from attack of the clones syndrome. Every single superior will look very samey and if they have same weapon there won't be any difference of note. At least with limited edition set or two you will have some alternative poses to have them.

I'm considering 3rd box just for alternative poses...Only issue being arco flagelants(have 30 already) and repentia(12+9+9=30 so 3 too many...).

Others would like to actually play with game though. Would suck if 1.5 months after main release started I could still not go to tournaments because GW decided basic HQ isn't worth selling in first month.

My store has 3 boxes left. I'm considering buying all 3 over time but hard now to pawn off the LE codex now that the other is available, same with cards.

So, the Sisters FAQ is out - though still no CA2019 one - and the LE box Canoness now appears to have a legal loadout!

The FAQ is up https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/b3e1e77d.pdf

No surprises here, just the expected change to the Canoness and a slightly unexpected reduction on Mortifier unit size (1-4 is correct).
