The Return of Celestine

Recommended Posts

So Spikey Bits is saying Celestine and Friends costs $60USD.
 
Is it bad that the cost of metal Sisters has made me numb to prices?
 
EDIT:
 
From Regimental Standard:

Greetings Guardsmen,
Today we bring you an unparalleled opportunity for glory.
The Ecclesiarchy are looking for willing volunteers to join a Crusade of the Righteous into the Ocularis Terribus.*
As you are currently on route to Cadia to take part in a potential live-fire learning opportunity anyway, you will be delighted to learn that you have been volunteered for glory in this Crusade.
The Emperor has bestowed a great honour upon you.
Most Guardsmen only dream of one day seeing a Living Saint of the Emperor, and you get to fight alongside one in righteous battle – and no less a legendary figure than Saint Celestine herself, most holy and beautific of the Emperor’s warriors in the entire Imperium! 
You will also be able to witness the glorious might of the Black Templars Space Marines at war.

For those of you who have not witnessed the zeal and fury of the Emperor’s Angels in battle before, this is a rare blessing and we are sure it will be illuminating**.  
This is a huge honour for you, but we are sure they are just as delighted to be assigned battle duty alongside [INSERT SACRIFICIAL CRUSADE AUXILIARY REGIMENT HERE], since we all fight in the Emperor’s name.
Wow, a Crusade fleet – Lucky you.
We at the Regimental Standard wing of the Departmento Munitorum are very envious of the glory you are about to win. We would dearly love to join you, but our presence is required on Terra to ensure all commendation forms are processed properly***.
Have a great campaign though.
 
Though for the Day:
‘Beyond the Emperor’s reach lies only darkness and despair.’
 
* Eye of Terror. Don’t worry though, it’s just a name.
** In further good news, the chances of acquiring a commendation**** in battle increases 17-fold when deployed to the same battlefield as Adeptus Astartes.
*** There is currently a backlog of worthy candidates, so processing times may be in excess of 106 Terran years.
**** 94% of battlefield commendations are awarded posthumously.

I was hoping for something like 30€ for Celestine + sidekicks. But if all three are under 60€ combined, that's pretty good! As I also wanted Greyfax anyway, I suppose it's not too bad paying a bit extra to get Cawl despite no real plans for Mechanicus other than the Start Collecting: Skitarii box. It's a nice model after all, although I'm dreading of the painting effort, so much tiny detail all over!

From /u/Sanguinius on Reddit (via Dakka):

Well, I was having beers with my GW source the other night and the topic got onto the Fall of Cadia and the coming story arcs and releases. He claims to know out to mid-2017 what is going to happen, but obviously needs to remain tight lipped. I did get the following tidbits though:

 

Outside of Celestine and her Geminii bodyguards, there are no plans in the next 5 months for any SoB boxes/kits.

 

(Rest committed and in rumors)

Note he said models, not rules. We may have some formations or another FOC in the book.

That rumour committed to Roboute Guilliman being the returning primarch, so we should know in a few weeks or months if it's made up or not.

Confirmed all in one box.

 

That makes a whole lot more sense. I think I might get Celestine. I usually do not like having collector's items, but I might make an exception just this once. She seems to be growing on me more than any Primach so far. Only Sigmar is more awesome :D

By one box I mean Celestine, the Gemini, Greyfax and Cawl!

So you can't just get Celestine it seems.

I am sure there will be plenty demand for the the crawly guy. The rest is fine ;)
