CaptainHelion Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Oh nice. That is basically what I was thinking. Hurricane bolter sponsons, too. And like eight pintle stormbolters.

Spacefrisian Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Here is hoping Sisters get there Landraiders back, maybe with huricane flame sponses. But my wishlisting would be a Joan d'Arc character on horse with Knight Sisters cavalry option, i dont care if its the far grim dark future, heck some even ride on wolves during that time even though you cant ride on wolves in real life.

Blagon Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I am unable to believe that the professionals at GW can't sculpt the female body. The Rhino/Immolator kit is the best one – comes with options and all plastic. Someone put a lot of effort into making that model. Can we get something even close to that effort on the current line, not even making new units, and it would be fantastic. GW has consistently been unwilling improve their product by the needs of their customers or marketing department. Can you imagine if Wizards of the Coast had control of the Warhammer universe?

Lucien Eilam Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I firmly believe the "we can't get the hair and robes just right" rumour is a bad joke. It was true, but you have to understand how long ago that surfaced. Somebody asked Jes Goodwin, who happened to be having a smoke in the car park outside Bugman's, the Friday night before a GT weekend in something like 2003. People have been regurgitating it ever since. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308811-sisters-rumours/page/3/#findComment-4082426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Aren't most rumours bad jokes? :P I think we're safely at the stage we can put this "hair and robes" thing to bed. Even if it was a concern it would surely be long resolved now, so the reason we don't have new models is something else entirely. Almost certainly business related I'd say.

sedibear Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 it probably definitely is business-related. I bet most if not all the people who say the metal models is what's holding them back won't dive into SoB even with plastic models. People who want to collect/play SoB have already bitten the pillow and gotten the medal figs. GW probably realizes this, as well.

grendal1989 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 idk. I think they could do a lot with the Sisters on the cheap, just remains to be seen if they do. I think Harlequin models proved they can model just about anything dynamically with flowing cloth. I've made one going into a back flip without green stuff and it still looks natural. Making new things, will help. I'd like the return of the Zealots (from chapter approved IIRC). It really hurts the army that the range isn't in local stores and that a box of girls costs more than 2 boxes of tactical Marines. I get a lot of interest when I bring them out...the occasional comment about being the bottom tier army, but thats mostly an ignorance thing that was easily rectified.

Sororita Katya Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 "New rumours have surfaced that Sister’s of Battle will see new models this year. Early rumours had stated Q2. The same source is now saying post May. Via Zion on Heresy Online From the Ripper Swarms: 1. There is a format change coming for Sisters. I don’t have details coming but there is a change coming. Granted if they get a real codex that’s a format change, but I have a personal feeling that it may get a change in how they build an army (like how the Necrons build the Decurion). 2. Lastly there was some detail regarding the visual design being more inspired by Blanche. Blanche did the 2nd Ed codex cover: So the trickle of Sisters rumours continues. While we have herd wolf cried many times before, this is the 1st time we have been getting an ongoing drip feed of rumours. This drip feed is much more consistent with GW’s deliberate leaks; than someone having a power trip all to themselves. We can only hope this is true and not someone dashing everyone’s hopes again. [Edit Ben] The consensus on most of the chat rooms is this “Q2″ is going to be "Q1" 2016, not 2015, sorry to dash your hopes Jono."

Spacefrisian Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I dont mind the new army building thing, i actually enjoy the puzling stuff of a list, although i wonder why anyone would actually play any other Spacemarine dex once they have read about 2 demi companies, in 1850 points you get 22 objectiv secured units with free transports (this includes upgrade for the units you have bought). And complete wit other special rules. Easy win if you play Maelstrom missions.

WarriorFish Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So, a change is coming and maybe Blanche? Since when does a new codex and models not feature change? When have the Sisters not been like the 2nd Ed stuff, given they haven't changed since? This is meaningless.

sedibear Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Codex: Witch Hunters redux, anyone? Roll together the Inquisition, Militarum Tempestus, Assassins, and Sisters of Battle into one big megadex, so you get all of those things updated to 7e in one fell swoop. It won't matter if we get no new units. Give us formations. Give us ways to field fluffy as hell detachments. Give us a tangible hardcover dex! Domine Libra Nos!

But I dont own a single SOB mod That's awesome, and as sad as it is for me to say, definitely an exception IMO. People talk about what their SoB army is going to be like all the time, but only three of us in my entire country actually bit the bullet and built an army. You'll know which one is at the tournament purely by seeing the color of the SoB :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308811-sisters-rumours/page/3/#findComment-4083330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So what you mean to say is that you're part of a Holy Trinity sedi? ;) I've lost count of the number of people who want a plastic SoB army. I'm sure if even only a small portion of those convert that it'd be notable and that's before you consider the people who'd start after never having said anything. As we've said many times plastic models will be the difference, even I'm waiting to grab a load as I really don't like metal!

People who want to collect/play SoB have already bitten the pillow and gotten the medal figs. GW probably realizes this, as well. And I'm sure people said the same thing about the Dark Eldar before their 2009 overhaul. What happened there? One of the best overall ranges in GW's entire catalogue, and a massive spike in DE players. As for the metal figs, I've said this before, I'd be fine with paying the cost. Hell I really miss metal models, so that'd be a plus in my book, and I drop enough cash on FW to not really notice how pricey they are. Plus I rather enjoyed painting the couple I bought last year, it was a refreshing change of pace from Wolves and Chaos. What I'm not fine with is how restricted the range has become. Yes, you can technically build a Sisters army these days, but with only one pose of Seraphim and Special Weapon troopers, one Missionary, half the Superiors there once were and no FW vehicles, it's just not worth it.

Lucien Eilam Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 It's a convenient fiction that nobody buys them because they're metal. Nobody bought them when practically the entire Citadel range was metal either. The Dark Eldar aren't really comparable. They were already significantly more popular than Sisters of Battle, despite launching with one of the worst ranges GW have ever produced. The Sisters miniatures were good figures for their day. Still nobody wanted them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308811-sisters-rumours/page/3/#findComment-4083849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Bretton Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 my issue with buying sisters now is the lack of poses, I hate having models in my army which are the same, and I already own pretty much every sob model there is (annoyingly not that many) I have converted a few of my duplicates, but metal is really difficult to do anything meaningful with other than weapon swaps If they bring plastic sisters out I will buy many, but for now I will stick with my nice compact allied force and my saint celestine who is the best model I have ever done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308811-sisters-rumours/page/3/#findComment-4083887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
