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).

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.

Yeah only on stream, you can see it in the video at 2:40

Someone needs to learn how to create female faces. They are all so bad.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

I like my conversion better.

**skeleton**

Isn't GW famous for its ugly women faces?

**StudentOfEtherium**

because battlefields are famous for their beautiful faces and well-kept beauty regimes

Consistency please, If you cheer for more diversity and battlefields inclusive to women you should equally cheer for bad looking AND good looking females ... Just saying.

Yeah, this! If we have an unrealistic number, for a real world, of fighting women then they or at least some could be pretty.

**Crimson**

I think the faces of the new Canoness look fine.

**Inquisitor Kallus**

Her face reminds me of Brienne of Tarth from GOT. She looks suitably bad ass and I don't want everyone to look like a 'model'. There are other heads available if you're not a fan

i have no issue with female models looking unattractive. i just think it's a lazy criticism of models (especially when time and time again it's been proven to be dependent on how it's painted, like the guard model people were complaining about a while back)

Its the other way around you seem to have an issue with the faces having more feminine traces, as if thats not errr realistic XD... Not about being hot or whatever... they did it pretty well before though, just not here.

**Geifer**

Both bare faces look female. They're just not very fresh. I don't know if it's the sculpt alone or if the paintjob helps it along, but I suspect that GW wants senior officers to look old.

I can see the angle of Little Red Flying Hood in the full model picture throwing people off. That face looks far more recognizably feminine in profile that you can see in the detail collage.

The bare face is similar in that the halberd picture some posts up has a better angle, but by and large both it and the article picture should register as female.

Made to Order terrain https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/05/19/sunday-preview-the-dawnbringers-saga-ends-under-a-cloud-of-chaos/

I could be persuaded to have a brace of Void Shield Generstors y’know.

**Overread**

AGAIN GW fails the hive by doing plushes and not doing a Ripper!

Good to see the GSC haven't encroached on everything, Overread.

Her wings have a pair of extra-spike halos, and they have an extra 'feather' on each side, and her armour has a crotch flap. But considering I've given every one of my Sisters a helmet where possible, I'm disappointed that there's no extra-flashy Canoness helm in the kit.

Looks like I can finally add a third VSG without having to pay eBay prices for one. And this gets my hopes up for a Sector Imperialis MTO at some point later.

Ditto, even though I'm still waiting on the LAST Made To Order terrain...

**Tamereth**

The void shield generator is one I missed out on first time around, will pick one up from this MTO.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

All depends on the price. It is my birthday at the end of the month though, which means Dosh From Dad. Yes even at the age of 44 🤣🤣

But…with a nascent Necromunda campaign rattling around my brain, and loads of terrain to get painted for that? They can find a place in my narrative.

Consider a newly discovered Dome, and the associated land grab. The Gangs being the first representatives of their respective Houses. And, in the second or third Campaign Season, something like a Fallout Vault is discovered….which happens to have a pair of VSG’s situated outside.

Which may or not be variants to create an Orky style impenetrable energy barrier to keep stuff in….
