It isn't a plural on the list...

I could see £42 for two, which is still an increase on the price of the similar Penitent Engines because reasons.

Strictly speaking? No. But they’re shown off in threes, and a single one would be more expensive than the SC one.

It was confirmed either on a stream or in a WarCom article that the Paragon Warsuits come in box sets of three models. Might have been the Warhammer Fest week where the codex was shown etc. So depending on how much faith you put into WarCom as a source, it is kinda confirmed.

Ah good, more abilities to turn off invulnerable saves. The game needs that, certainly.

I await the inevitable counter-ability that disallows turning off invulnerables.

Needing to spend 1 miracle dice to activate it on the character who bought it. Also, melee attacks only. Doesn't bother me if it's pretty limited like this, if you ask me.

More options for sisters are good for the competitive players, a headache for casual players. But that's the real problem of the V9, it's not specific to the sisters.

Also one use only it seems

I wasn't sure, but yes indeed. Even more limited.

Actually, that's what bothers me in all V9 codexes : very specific rules applying only in a very specific case. You better take a good cheat sheet to remember it all in game !

Well I'm surprised:



Crusaders are still there.

I fully support more uses for miracle dice. This seems like a fantastic inclusion.

It does lend credence to the idea that dice are getting nerfed though. Oh well, at least they sort of acknowledged that no one ON EARTH wants to use a miracle dice on a hit roll.

Really seems like every 9th edition army is going to have some way of putting 'fight last' on an opponent.

Regarding skulls - please remember that the Imperium is a death cult that is worshipping the corpse on the Golden Throne - every skull is potentially a representation of the Emperor.

Ref. crosses, Christianity, etc.

That one of the Chaos gods also is associated with skulls is surely a pure coincident. Right?

Sooo, new halabardiers got price hike over retributors or seraphim? Didn't take GW long. And still no SC or combat patrol?

That's just regular Junith with generic Canoness head, probably counts as new Sister chaplain. Also had idea of doing this.

And we don't know rules. You don't expect old rules automatically stay?

No tank or crusader with priest character this week, so they must not be coming either. Let's give it a week before panicking.

GW definitely is throwing out some fun red herrings.

Spoiler:

Always fun when the PR team doesn't read the actual rule they are writing about.

I'd missed that.
The Paragon price isn't as bad as might be expected then (although these things are relative!)

If only they’d got a new kit instead of terrible new sisters.

A plastic Crusader kit, even if it were just 5 of them, would be wonderful.

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but here's this week's preorder prices.

ETA: I'm moderately confused by Paragon Warsuit (singular).

Either a typo or just weird wording, they’re in 3’s.

Paragon Warsuit
-1 Damage from each attack allocated to it.

No mention of a minimum Damage. I hope this is not intended since as written it could be interpreted to mean Damage 1 goes to 0.

It may be not intended, but you can sure bet people will play it as such.

Attacks as laughable. Basic Wyches rock 4-5 Attacks and even base Kabalites or Rangers come with 2, while Super-Elite-Celestians only have 2, Paragons only have 3 and base Sisters presumably still only have 1?

Pretty disappointing.

The weapon loadouts confer an additional attack.

To be fair, the elite sisters units do have higher quality attacks, with strength mods, ap, and/or increased damage.

Strange to see the Celestians have a 2+, I was expecting a 3+ with the shield ability then adding +1 to save rolls. But no, they appear to be wearing normal power amour but somehow have the same base save as a terminator...

Since they always have the shields, it may just be saving some people some extra calculations.
