Disappointed to hear there's only 4 detachments in the Sisters book

Yeah- I've got some issues with this too. I'm trying to figure out which Orders get left out. I think all we'll get is OoOML, Bloody Rose, Argent Shroud and probably Ebon Chalice. I had plans for the Order of the Sacred Rose- I wanted them to assume control of Progenium facilities in a campaign.

I'm happy about the Jump Canoness, and that battleforce is perfect for me, but I doubt I'll be able to afford it. The book could still be good; for me there's a lot riding on the Crusade content. So far, GW has done a decent job with Crusade- improving what was weak while maintaining what was strong. They're preserving the Sainthood piece; provided they maintain the Penitent Oath/ redemption arc, it could still work. I'd like to see something new, but not at the expense of either of those.

From what I've seen online from people at the event, the detachments were talked about a bit more.
One is what we have now
One is "Angelic Host" themed, with Zephyrim and Seraphim as the centre of the force (with aura to buff other units?)
One is a Penance themed force
The final one is about the Holy Trinity of bolter, flamer and melta.

I loved this announcement. Models all look top notch. I especially love the new Mechanicum 'bots. If they make their way over to 40k, I might just be starting a mechanicum army. Ugh, my wallet.

Also really excited for when AM inevitably makes their debut in LI.

Only thing I'm not really excited about is Sisters combat patrol, since I have multiples of pretty much everything in there. Was hoping maybe for an immolator or even a castigator.

But I'm almost certainly going to go for a Sisters and GSC battleforce and a GSC CP since those would fill out my roster nicely.

Also, GW did something I would've thought impossible for them--had a rather hefty release announcement and not a space marine in sight (unless you count the LI vehicles).

Man, GW simply can't win.

I remember when the editions/codex lasted years, and the public was clamoring for GW to engage the tournament scene...

And now those fools are getting what they asked for.

Yeah I dislike both the red body head and the red hood head. But I do like the rebreather head so not a problem there. I'll probably take rebreather head and two handed axe if I go by looks

I agree with you on the heads - did this two-handed axe/halberd weapon get shown on the stream, as I don't seem to have seen it in the released pictures.
