Sisters of Battle rumors!

Gamers are advised to get thee to a nunnery - a grim, dark nunnery, that is! Yes, it's time for the perennial Sisters of Battle rumors!



People may recall that roughly every eighteen months I mention that Sisters of Battle are "in early development". As always, I was right: They're in early development.

Here's what I know from my insider sources:

  • Plastic Sisters! Yes, you heard that right: A core unit that's only available in metal and came out in 1998 is going to be replaced by a new, plastic sculpt. Only me and my insider sources can bring you this kind of breaking news.
  • As for looks, they will "look different" while "keeping the same basic style".
  • The plastic kit "may" build both Sisters and "a new unit" who are "similar in function to Sternguard".
  • Lots of fluff "reportedly" written by Mat Ward in which the Sisters lose every single battle and are skinned alive in horrifying detail, apart from two battles in which they're saved by the Grey Knights, then killed.
  • New plastic Exorcist kit that builds both the Exorcist and "a new Heavy Support choice" that "possibly has either 'Sins', 'Redemption' or 'Lamentation' in the name".
  • Plastic Seraphim who have "many upgrade options".
  • Seraphim to receive a rule "similar" to Descent of Angels.
  • Repentia are now "much improved".
  • Penitent Engines have "new options".
  • New sculpt of Uriah Jacobus who "may or may not have a different beard".
  • A "very creepy" new character "based on artwork".
  • "Probably a flyer, because everyone else gets them, I guess".
  • Codex will be released in either mid 2013, late 2013, early 2014, mid 2014, late 2014 or early 2015. This will be "either before or after Tau".
Over and out,
