Duke Danse Macabre Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Looks like they have announced the box sets as well for the next part. A nid one with 8 Stealers, 3 Warriors and a Carnafex and a BA one with a Captain, 5 Terminators, 5 Death Company and a DC Dread. Still loveless we are. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298972-hive-fleet-leviathan-and-why-you-should-be-excited/page/8/#findComment-3867671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Not all of them... Just most of them. The addition of a tentacle tyranid beast was not a coincidence.

*Furyou Miko Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 For all that the Sisters weren't the focus of Tempestus, I think the book did treat them with respect. Lictors are meant to be fricken scary - back in the Battle for Macragge era, they were shown worfing Terminators and First-company Veterans, so I can't really call it discrimination to have one doing the same to Sisters. Much as we like to talk about our duty to hunt down renegade Marines, it's not a huge stretch to think that an invisible monster that can kill the Captain of the Ultramarines First Comany and his entire Terminator-armoured command wing would be able to go through a Canoness and her squad. That said, Ulrich was very clearly designed to represent everything reprehensible about writers who treat the Sisters badly. We were meant to hate him, to think he was an idiot for how he talked down to the Sisters, let alone for what he was attempting to do. Chavis was an awesome character who knew exactly how badass the Sisters were. It's not possible to read the book without praying for either Grace or Chavis to punch him in the face. My only complaints about the book were that it left three or four plot hooks hanging unresolved because of its length. It felt a bit rushed - could have done with ten more pages or so to wrap everything else up neatly. The Bolivian Army Ending was simply inevitable.

Slips Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Whether its new or not, it looks a lot like how the art in the new codices is displayed. If it is indeed new, this might be a good sign...

If it is indeed new, this might be a good sign... That's my thought. If it's new that means we may have something in the works. But at this point I'm like "Sisters got a brief mention in something? WE'RE NOT DEAD! :D" so don't take my optimism as a sign of anything at this point.

*Furyou Miko Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Those are new, but the two on the right are line edits of what will probably be a generic paperdoll in the next codex... on top of being simply terrible anatomically, and the poses... you'd only get that kind of twisted body position if you were sprinting and turning in the opposite direction to where they're looking.

RolandTHTG Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Ok, has GW ever before actually used the phrase "...sacred trinity of Bolter, flamer and melta.." in official fluff.Because the fact that they actually use what I previously thought was a forum joke is kinda awesome.

*Furyou Miko Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Oh, no, that's old, old GW fluff. I particularly like the line from the book that says the 'nids were "shredded by more bolter fire than an entire company of Space Marines could hope to muster".

Spacefrisian Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Maybe that new CEO actually looks on the interwebs, and gets some stuff done...maybe. Would mean they improving, or trying to. Would be even better if they did a paper version of the digital dex and release it this or next week.

Knight of the Raven Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Also Order of Our Martyred Lady with blue accents. Never saw that before. You mean blue highlights? The 'Eavy Metal painter Kirsten Williams paints Our Martyred Lady that way, if I'm not mistaken.

*Furyou Miko Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah, Miriya had dark hair, but the artwork on the cover of Faith and fire was white-haired. The first dark-haired Sister in the artwork or photography since the 2e codex was Miriya on cover of Hammer and Anvil.

Knight of the Raven Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Oh, right. I don't remember whether I thought the woman on the Faith & Fire cover was Miriya though. I think her (first) canoness, Galatea I believe, had red hair too. I'm not sure. I was too distracted by the obvious unresolved sexual tension between them as they glared at each other in her office. That said, Kirsten Williams' custom sisters of battle rocked brown hair as early as the first White Dwarf depicting their return in 2002, if memory serves.

Willy Pete Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I cheated on mine. Even back in 2nd Ed. it didn't make sense that only Caucasians made it into space, so not only do my troops, (ALL of them) have different hair colors, I also gave them Asian, African, European, Middle Eastern and Native American skin tones. Maybe doesn't fit the fluff, but that's not something I really worry about.:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298972-hive-fleet-leviathan-and-why-you-should-be-excited/page/8/#findComment-3869229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back cover also said that Miriya was a Seraphim instead of a Celestian, so... feh. It probably was supposed to be Miriya, since the cover people never read the dang book. I had forgotten those pictures. I cheated on mine.
