I mean he's not exactly wrong. The sisters release is more revamping and re-releasing the entire metal model range, moreso than adding completely new units like the SM releases usually are. And given that you already got your own Grail Reliquary equivalent unit, a brand new special character with their own pulpit AND your own terrain piece, I think that should tide you over until they come back to add more to their range at a later date.


But they did add a few bits. Just because they finally got round to doing them, doesn’t mean that people have to be 100% happy with everything about the release. I don’t see the harm in someone saying ‘I wish the new bits they’d added had been a little bit more imaginative’.

1-2 of those other factions could also show up in PA6, leaving 4-5 factions to go.

IG may be against Orks too? It's a classic match up. Though I'd be worried then that there'll be very few rules pages for Orks or IG if they have to sit in a marine supplement together.


I don't think Sisters are getting more PA rules. Their codex was their PA release and they featured as the FnF map object.

That leaves Custodes, Deathwatch, Harlies and Crons. Crons are getting their silent king that could be the largest release of the campaign. In fact it could potentially herald a new faction. There seem to be too many Imperium armies left. Particularly if IG don't feature in PA6. In that case I could see a Custodes vs Necrons vs Harlies PA then a final Deathwatch and IG vs New Silent King faction that the previous PA sets up.

I tend to agree, Sisters codex release and box set counts as the PA update for them, on one hand it sucks as sisters could certainly use some additional stuff ("make a minor order" rules would be a nice touch) on the other hand the SOB codex just being released likely means they didn't have time to do new rules etc for sisters in a supplement, or if we got anything it would be material cut from the codex (like the space marine rules in PA2 clearly where)

I thought Sisters got a "v2" codex with their rules? They have special rules if the army is fully Sisters etc. Seems to me they're already up to speed insofar as rules are concerned excluding perhaps build your own order but that doesn't tend to be given to Imperials at the moment.

Space Marines got "build a subfaction" rules in their codex. true we haven't seen it for dark angels etc. but I imagine GW assumes if a blood angels or dark angels sucessor is sufficantly differant from their home chapter to have developed their own chapter tactics then you should proably just use vanilla marines as your codex.

Sisters did get a "mono-faction bonus" true. and I'm largely content. the one thing they're missing that some factions in PA have gotten are greater rules for subfactions. It's not a big deal and as someone starting a sisters army I'm happy with what sisters have, but don't get me wrong if GW pulled me aside told me they where considering doing PA with sisters rules and asked me to do a proposal for some ideas for new things to give them I absolutely could give em a buncha ideas

But I could do that for any faction. well.. except space marines, the only things I could possiably want for them would require new models.

My guess: PA6 will include Guard - they're the classic rival to Orks and especially Ghaz.

Pa has helped the various sub factions feel more like themselves.... until you run out of cp. Once the cp runs out my Night Lords go right back to being space marines with spikes and lightning bolts on their armour. That's something c:sm has on everyone else, the various chapters feel like themselves even without strategems. Hopefully that'll get better with the next round of codexes.

yeah Guard'll get something, they appered in F&F but honestly I expect theylll apper in most books where the IoM is active, but the book that gives them stuff will, presumably be saved for a book when their involvement is something other then a soruce of padded casualties for the IoM while the Marines get all the glory

Alongside FnF they did a graphic titled 'new rules for these guys' which only mentioned marines. I think i linked to it an the last page.

It didn't include Guard or Sisters, and both of those were mentioned in the original 'new rules for all these codexes' graphic at the start of psychic awakening. It's reasonable to assume they will both get something eventually.

I distinctly remember the Sisters logo featuring prominently during FnF so I'm not convinced on them. IG agreed will get more. I guess we'll have to wait and see. If Sisters are getting something more in PA, it would leave something 4 IOM factions vs 2 Xenos factions, one of which is Harlequins. Can't see it myself.

May well be the angle of the pic and/or saturation. Also worth noting that the fingers of newer Ork kits have much less prominent claws.

The way the hand is in the rumour engine photo, you’d see the claws. And the hands of the Orks on the vehicle kits that I can actually see from the website, still have claws that would be visible in the rumour engine pic.

I disagree. Either way - we'll find out one way or another soon enough and this isn't the topic for Rumour Engine discussion. This discussion is PA.

I suppose nothings preventing them from having a conflict zone that includes factions that already got stuff and thus are present but don't have rules. such as "sisters versus chaos space marines!"

also we're assuming no new armies are going to be introduced. but yeah IMHO sisters are a "post PA faction" so won't get it anymore then a traitor guard codex released 6 months from now (hypotheticly speaking) can expect it. I imagine though if GW detirmines they need a bit more it'd be easy eneugh to do a one shot book with them. heck faith and fury really does seem like it's a "to be continued" storyline. I could see GW revisiting that conflict to give the sisters a few bits and blobs, and give CSMs a "doctrine equivilant"

It'll probably turn out to be a Blackstone Fortress thing anyway. GW love to make us think some faction is getting an update when really it's a single one-off model.

Curious if we'll see PA5 shown tomoro. It's the first preorder day after January payday for most people, so it's a good time for some 40k releases & the next wave of Sisters. The following release date lines up with an AT / AI event at Warhammer World, making that less likely.

Oh yeah, the new HQ are really nice, and I also wish the pulpit was generic canoness option rather than order locked! Agreed on both count.

If the rumor-arm is that of a Guardsman, our collective hopes of better-proportioned AsMil are clearly for naught. The proportions on it are really off. What could it be, though? Binoculars and a pointing finger suggest either special forces recon type or artillery to me, and the army already has Scions for the former and oversaturation of the latter.

Unless it's a new Master of Ordnance sculpt who's really, really hench and shirtless for reasons of designer idiocy.
