sister of battle horzWe have confirmation that a Sisters of Battle Cannoness is coming next week along with the Imperial Agents Codex, but is it plastic?

A new Sister of Battle..er Adeptus Sororitas, model is coming next week, but is it Plastic?

Well let’s run down this long and winding release adventure with a little bit of back story:

First off if you missed it last month at the end of Warhammer TV’s dust bins video the remark heard round the world was uttered:

Cool this isn’t released for months yet. <Long Pause> Plastic Sisters of Battle!

Now the lads in Nottingham had this to say on their Facebook page about the Sisters of Battle. Did GW just troll all of us with their Sisters of Battle comment or did they just troll a troll.. This is getting confusing.

Confused now? So are we. Is this a takesie backsie? Should we listen to guys in bins in the future?

Checkout what the White Dwarf had to say:

Now all that excitement aside, read that last line:

Nine smaller factions… alongside your existing armies of the Imperium, from Grey Knight Terminators to Sisters..

Does that mean that you can use what is in here WITH those existing codex books OR they will be contained within, as they are referring to just singular squads of Sisters and Grey Knights?

Honestly it’s hard to tell from the context of this sentence what it means. So add a little salt to these rumors folks as there may not be Sisters and Grey Knights in this book, or according to the rumors from Nov 13 there will be?

And now we have the confirmed releases for next week from Games Workshop featuring a Sister of Battle Cannoness!

Several retailers have reported the following releases to Spikey Bits:

  • Canoness Veridyan (RESIN BOX SET): $25
  • Codex Imperial Agents $40
  • Index Imperialis: Apocrypha $40
  • Tyrant of the Hollow Worlds (Space Marine Battle Book) $27
  • Horus Heresy Hear of the Pharos (Audio Drama) $27

The Canoness model has been confirmed to be super limited and most stores will only receive one of them.

So this looks to be a release in resin, but according to the description on GW’s site for things that were previously Finecast, they are all currently listed as resin now as well:

thunderfire-cannon-1

 

(GW Webstore: Thunderfire Cannon)

This pack contains one Space Marine Thunderfire Cannon – a finely detailed resin cast kit that comes in thirty-one components, and is supplied with one 25mm round base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints.

So we really wanted plastic sister of battles, but for now at least it looks like we’re getting a resin one (Finecast)?
