Azezel Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Wow! A Sisters thread in the Grey Knight forum. Don't see many of those... Anyway, latest rumours have Sisters in November, or failing that, early next year.

Warsmith Aznable Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Maybe. If I recall correctly we're getting a new print book, a new audio drama, and a reprint of the first Sisters book. A GW shop employee had me believing we were getting Sisters by Christmas of LAST year, and I really wanted to believe. The signs look good, I think, for a release "sometime between now and this time next year". Sisters were absent from the 2011 price spreadsheet (and the Finecast news), the metal stocks are dwindling (from what I've been led to believe), and they are long overdue. But really, talking about Sisters of Battle plastics and new rules is becoming masochistic. I have enough faith to not start a new army to put on the shelf space I have reserved for the Sororitas, though. And even without new models or rules I'm excited to read these new offerings from Mr. Swallow. Does anybody else find it ironic that he also writes Blood Angels stories?

Master Barachiel Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Isn't the release of the new Necron Codex thought to be by the end of this year. At least that is a rumour that is supported by some of GW's staff. And, considering the really huge amount of Necron players, it would make sense if they had this new Necron Codex really in mind. And the time around christmas it would be much more profitable. So, that's why I think they won't publish any SoB stuff, this year. But due to the fact that the Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus is still in the GK Codex, I think, the fear that the Sisters will stop to exist once is lowered. I mean, they wouldn't include the Hereticus now if they really cut off the army behind, would they? My guess is, that they will give us SoB players new Codex and new miniatures in spring of next year or in summer of that year (maybe there would be two smaller releases of new miniatures just like thex did with the BA). That would also give time to many of these players who started a GK/Inquisition army because of the new Codex and miniatures. Some of these would add SoB to this army if there is enough time between the GK release and the SoB realse. And about one year would work quite fine then, I think.

Inquisitor Fox Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 There's some other Sister's threads on um.. page 3 I think it is ;) Sisters players are still here, it's just hard to keep playing them when I've got the new shiney Grey Knights (and with the way the old books worked I collected both anyway). Just more time to get them properly painted up for whenever a new book gets out. I've heard enough rumors in my own area at the actual GW stores to think that this year is distinctly possible. Of course, my three real armies are Inquisition/Grey Knights, Sisters and Tau... so um... Fate hates me. She hates me hardcore :P I've also heard rumor that in IA11 will be Eldar corsairs, which are supposed to be a cross of Craftworld Eldar with Dark Eldar vehicles... which is Fate laughing at me again. That being said, I do believe Sisters are still coming, so if anyone has a spare metal "tactical" squad of Sororitas to send my way to make up for the IST's I'm betting I won't get to use anymore since they went to my Grey Knights army... *chuckles* Although if I'm lucky maybe there'll be Arbites... wouldn't that be bling-tastic?

WarriorFish Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Arbites would be brilliant, but it depends how pure SoB the codex is. I hope we get them along with ISTs but I doubt it :P As has been mentioned this year is possible otherwise early next year but who can say for sure? With GW's supposed new attitude to rumours and leaks we may not know until very close to the release. I'm sure the internet will find a way though or failing that you'll likely be able to get your rumour fix from the ever obliging rumourtards :) My policy has been to concentrate on my other armies for a while now. Emperor knows I have more than enough models to keep me busy!

Marid Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 My guess is ASAP. GW has made it clear that they don't want to/can't afford to make metal models anymore. What ASAP means specifically, who knows, but 'yesterday' is probably what GW management is saying to its development team.

Oiad Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Earliest indications for the release is November, but I'm a bit more pessimistic. Apparently there's a lot competing for the end-year schedule already. Doubtful as to the inclusions of the ISTs at all. Signs point to a release that's very Ecclesiarchy-based. If true this makes sense - GW finally responding to the anger of the many original 2nd Sororitas players who didn't like being stuffed in with the Inquisition. Besides, base ISTs won't bring much more to the table that different Sororitas won't be able to cover themselves, with a few changes. There has been an image/PDF showing with Arbites units with Sororitas units, though I'm unsure of its official capacity. While a more assaulty/less shooty equivalent of the Sororitas would be sweet they're both from separate organisations. Saying that, we have assassins in C:GK so it's not out-of-the-question either.

veidin Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Typically there is 4+ months in between each codex release. GK was released in April so you are looking at more than likely an early Fall release for Necrons next. From what I've gathered is that Sisters will be the next release after Necrons either very late this year or very early next year. Following them will be Chaos Space Marines which will also coincide with 6th Edition rulebook release. Much like 5th had the assault on Black Reach set (Space Marines/Orks), I've heard that there will be a similar box set released showcasing SoB and Chaos Space Marines. These are what I've come across and pieced together at least, but as always rumors are rumors, but I dont see the above as far fetched.

Master Barachiel Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't think that they will drop their favourite Army --> SM and especially the Ultramrines. Besides I believe those blue smurfs are the most known army that exists. It would be like letting an icony down. And the Sororitas are a very special army anyway. Their vehicles and soldiers are a mix of ´four different armies (Grey Knights, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle and Imperial Guard). I guess, Inquisition will never be a topic for the starter pack, sry.

Nias Wolf Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 This is more of a post to say "yes I'm here". I haven't been active on the forums for a while since this section is mostly grey knights. My source led me to believe that sisters would be out by Christmas, and I also have strong reason to believe that we're getting arbites and zealots too. I'm also working on an Ecclessiarchy super heavy tank (heavily converted baneblade with rules of plaguereaper) and intrigued by the new resin models.

Son of Rawl Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I think Sisters are moving toward being a military arm of the Eccelsiary instead of the Ordo Hereticus. Are they already?

Oiad Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Depends what you're asking. Yes, they are currently the military arm of the Ecclesiarchy too. Many fans feel that's always been their foremost role rather than being the military arm of the Ordo Hereticus. It's why so many, older Sororitas players were annoyed when C:WH was first released. Imo this next release could be GW correcting their wrongs in light of these protests - a rarity huh? The problem is that since 3E we've had a generation of players that have grown up enjoying their freedom to run their Sisters of Battle units with Inquisitorial units. If they do cut Inquisitors loose from the next release then it's likely that we'll see more protests again - only this time from those who liked the inclusion of Inquisitors. It's unfortunate but if GW stick to their guns from here onwards, instead of going back-and-forth on the issue then the criticism should eventually go away.

Myxx Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 When I saw the addition of the Ordo Hereticus inquisitor in the GK Codex, my first thought was that the SoB was going to fall by the wayside completely. I can't think of a reason to include them in the GK book if they are going to get their own down the road. Same for the Ordo Xenos. Maybe both will be relegated to an IA book (and "play with permission" status of all of Forge World's pubs).

What ASAP means specifically, who knows, but 'yesterday' is probably what GW management is saying to its development team. That just means they'll make "finecast" resin models in the mean time. As others have posted, I've seen a few rumors on DakkaDakka putting Necrons in October and Sisters in December/January. We'll see.

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 With the release of the Fine Cast range replacing all metal miniatures but leaving plastic for everything else, i think now we should wait eagely for either Necons or SoB. Well why would GW bring out a new codex but still use metal for characters, so my thinking is with all resin replacing metal i think they WILL bring SoB out very soon. Some reliable sources have said the codex was done, and that with a few tweaks they were just getting the moulding right, could they have meant Fine Cast?? So for me, i don't think i will have to wait for next year, or even December now, maybe news in the end of June WD for the upcoming July dates. But thats just me...

BrotherWasted Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What's the problem with SoB getting their own Inquisitors? They'll just have to make Hereticus Quizzies and give them more wargear/squad options than the GK codex. Problem solved.

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The problem is Most SoB players DON'T want to have Inquisition anywhere near the new codex thats what. For starters the only reason they were in the Codex Witch hunters is because of GW trying to upsell the Inquisition game that was a big flop. So now that they are all covered in the Grey Knight codex there is no reason to put them in with the SoB again. It should remain a SoB codex with only some units from the Ecclesiach. At best a preacher/confessor/etc squad that can be broken down like Eldar Warlocks to put into other squads, maybe Arbites (would love those), NO and NO to meat shields (frateris Militia) and more custom squads. Won't go over and over what needs to be upgraded, i thing that has been said all before. But NO Inquisition, would be just stupid of GW to put them in with SoB again. Remember SoB only agree to work alongside the Inquisition, they don't answer to them and are in no way part of them.

Brother Dylan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 After reading the Siege of Vraks books from forgeworld I'm sold on Hereticius Inquisitors and the assassins being included in a sisters of battle codex. The Eccelsiarcy and the Ordo Hereticius are far more politically intertwined than I think most admit or perceive on this forum. I agree they should only be a footnote and I feel the way Inquisitors are handled in the Grey Knight book would be reasonable if they cut the other two factions from the list.
