Sisters of Battle....in White Dwarf

Posted by Unknown

I know it's late but hey. Sisters of Battle has been confirmed as a two-part piece in White Dwarf. Meh. I know you want to sell your crappy magazine Games Workshop, but forcing us to buy it for rules eh. I'm happy to do this if the rest of the magazine wasn't just a big advertisement for yourselves. Maybe put some content in it and get rid of the whole Standard Bearer (and the guy who writes it) thing.

Then you might actually be able to use White Dwarf as a supplement to your games, i.e. Erratas and timely FAQs which people would happily buy the magazine for. Maybe some actual in-depth discussion about your games and some excellent hobbying articles wouldn't go amiss either...

Ah well let's see what this brings. I've heard the whole Faith system has been re-worked but remains in place and Sisters of Battle are significantly cheaper. Let's hope for nice plastic sculpts with 10 chicks in a box. Ha!

I wish them luck with selling a model range they dont even stock on the shelves anymore.

That one sisters player everyone knows is rejoicing.

Now we just wait for the Bols article that misses the point and the forums to boot up with the "New sisters are OP"/"New sisters ruined my fluff" bullshit, and it'll feel just like a regular release.

Basically. If GW doesn't release some new plastics, fail book.

Mind you, I know Vince has half a sisters army and they are a good army (assuming they don't fuck it up) so a couple more purchases there and bingo :P.

Mostly just needs rules tweaks and plastics, that'll get them to decent levels. Then they can focus on Chaos, Eldar, and Tau.

Foot Horde Sisters will probably end up being completely awesome, and BaLLs will complain that *true* sisters players play mech.

Might end up like some weird combo of IG, Rines, and GKs. Foot works for GKs.

Sisters players rejoicing? I think you guys should do a few rounds on the various forums - there's very little rejoicing going on, it's just more crying about how they're getting ripped off and will be ignored for several years, as if by not getting a WD Update their actual Codex would come faster.

It would be cool if GW actually had rules in the WDs again. Currently, the FLGS where I play the majority of my games tries to GIVE them away as prizes and we don't bother to take them with us. If the store owners can't give them away, how many are actually being sold?

Well I won't be buying a White Dwarf to get it, nevermind buying two....
Soon enough it'll be a PDF on GW's website.
I can wait.

I guess this sort of stuff could be cool, if they'd use the WD "codex" for playtesting, but I guess this is the same sort of a bandage as the FAQ on Black Templars and Dark Angels was. Something to keep them from having to release a new codex for the 5th edition. Oh, and I'm almost certain that the old models will just get released in Finecast and they'll have tons of pages in the WD showing off "just how cool the finecast really is!!11".

GW are on a crusade to save as much money as possible, so we'll likely get way more Cruddace books like this one in the near future.

Well, I'm cautiously optimistic it'll be fun - if nothing else I'm really tired of the old codex. Well made or good or anything? Who knows, it might be, or it might not be. But if they're actually releasing models why wouldn't they release a real codex?
