BSB Speculation

Except wasn't it clarified recently that this wasn't the LE version of the Codex, just an alternate art cover?

 

 

 

  it’s the fully updated new edition of Codex: Adepta Sororitas, with special cover art exclusive to this set!

 

but isnt that the same as the Ltd Eds?  A different cover?

 

 

Thought the LE codexes also came with some other stuff?

I see nothing special about this particular codex except the cover art. In general I don't really care about "limited edition" books. They get obsoleted into paperweights soon enough, and simply a different cover pic doesn't make it any more expensive to produce in any meaningful way to justify it as a higher cost. This is a box of monoposes with a codex for something like 165€ when Dark Imperium is a box of twice as many monoposes and a bigger book for 125€. While I wouldn't expect it to have the same cost per model than the "edition starter", having half as many figs for a notably HIGHER cost is a bit silly. The new Sisters are in my books some of the finest models GW has made, but that doesn't mean they have to cost the same as their volume in gold, jeez.

They have the fancy gold embossed pages too.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet or not, but the USA store only has 10 remaining models in the Sisters of Battle section. Might be safe to say you're not getting new models for those ranges.

Technically only 8 models and 3 of them are already new.

 

I'm pretty much expecting priests, DCA, and Crusaders to be axed from SoB entirely and shift over into the Guard section of the site.

That won't happen. We know we have a new Penitent Engine and new Arcos, both Ecclesiarchy units. And while they aren't being released yet, we know there is at leat one new DCA sculpt [Knosso Prond] and one new crusader sculpt [Gotfret de Montbard]. We will get new units for them, maybe near the end of 2020 or some time in 21.

Priests aren't going anywhere.

Expecting new units to come out after the big release drop seems naive to me but that might be due to the 20 years of nothing.

Or . . . They could just leave priests and DCA in the codex and have people use the existing models. That seems more likely to me than them removing priests of all things, which have literally been a part of the army since the first codex in 1998. (Although Sisters technically had rules before that in the Codex Imperialis)

I took the PenitentOnes comments to be new sculpts for the units not brand new data sheets....

 

You are correct. The dex entry, and I think even the Kill Word strat will still be in the dex, but the models... well who knows.

 

I agree that we probably aren't getting any new units- the whole "no model, no rules policy" would mean any new units would have to drop with the dex, and that really doesn't look like that's going to happen. We will still get new content when our chapter of PA drops, but even if there is a model release, it will be modest- perhaps a single character.

Or we get the Primaris treatment, slowly being drip-fed new stuff that we constantly have to keep up to date on, until GW can sell us a new Codex in a year or two. All so we can stop carrying 4 books to play our army, of course. They're generous like that. /s

Faith and fury is our chapter of PA.

I know the fleur showed up in the video, but I don't remember seeing Sisters in the list for the faith and fury blurb.

That was the 'new rules found here' blurb.

 

In classic Sisters fashion we're included insomuch as we get to pad out the book's casualty count, we just don't get any rules or anything the other factions get.

 

Now technically speaking we don't know how many books PA will be. The assumption is 3 but its never been outright stated, so we could theoretically see actual content somewhere in PA 4+ but I sincerely doubt it.

 

The safest bet is still to assume that what's in the codex is all we're going to get for the forseeable future.

The original announcement said all factions would get rules, it just didn't say when. Just Google "psychic awakening announcement NOVA". I'd link to it directly, but my phone won't let me copy URLs and I can't figure out how to upload the picture from my phone onto B&C.

It says 'these factions will get new rules' and lists a number of faction symbols that aren't 'all factions'. Yes, it does include Sisters but it also excludes factions we know ARE getting rules so it's not entirely trustworthy.

 

It also never says that every faction is getting rules, it says every faction 'has a stake in' psychic awakening. Even for the factions listed, it never says that the rules they're getting are in the psychic awakening books, just that they're getting new rules. So the SoB box set with codex coming out the same day as faith and fury would technically constitute the 'new rules for these factions' bit.

 

Also they could be totally talking out of their butts.

 

All I know is, if we actually don't have rules in a book called 'faith & fury' I won't be getting my hopes up.

No, it wouldn't, Slasher.

"New rules for every codex."

 

Every codex would include Sisters. If the Psychic Awakening series ends and there's even one Codex that fails to receive new rules of some type (new character, stratagem, w/e), that's what we call "false advertising", which is illegal.

Fair enough...I’d forgotten that particular slide...

 

Howerver a narrative mission with sisters v whoever would also fill that vague statement.....so I’m still not expecting a data sheet /strat /etc in PA particularly BEFORE the dex is in general release...
