Sisters and Custode Guard are finally here, but Games Workshop may have just put a caveat on how we can play with the fantastic new rules for Warhammer 40k!

First go checkout the 4 page PDF download for the brand new units in the Burning of Prospero box set (we’ll wait for you).

Now read over this puzzling exchange on Facebook between GW and some inquisitive hobbysits:

So is the 40k sky falling after all, or was did those WAAC players just regret buying 10 copies of the game? Will YOU be playing with these models in your army?

Checkout the full download here, and see what everyone is saying about the new box set below:

This is the direct mailing GW sends to it’s stores and retailers about new releases.

The contents are listed as

  • Ahirman
  • Greigor ? Fell-Fell Hand
  • 5 Tartaros Terminators
  • 30 Legion Veterans (Mk III armor)
  • 5 Custodian Guard
  • 5 Sisters of Silence
  • and various rules and game accessories

Remember the battle for Prospero is coming in both a core set, and for the new Horus Heresy rules set from Forge World.
