GW posted an article yesterday that showed what the new Sisters of Battle codex for 2020 looked like then took it down…
Warhammer Community has good news for Sisters of Battle Fans out there if you didn’t get a pre-order in for the new Sisters Army box over the weekend, OR you just want to know more about what lies ahead for the sisters.
Unfortunately, they took down their post before most hobbyists saw it, but we have a copy in its entirety for you, including a look at what appears to be the general release codex for 2020.
Let’s take a look at what’s coming out way Black Friday Weekend first:
Sisters of Battle Army Box
One of the most anticipated releases of 2019 looks to be the Sisters of Battle Army Set. While we’ve already gotten an official word at what’s inside the box, it looks to be weighing in at $210 and as you know this is the only Sisters release we’re seeing for the near future!
People that buy this might be sitting with under a thousand points of new Sisters for a while with no other releases in sight for 2019. If you’re dying to know what may be coming in the new Sisters of Battle 40k army box for this holiday season, we have that for you too here.
That’s a total of 25 brand-new miniatures, the Adepta Sororitas codex (with exclusive cover art), datacards and dice – all in one box!
The long-anticipated plastic Sisters of Battle are here! We’ve been hearing about them for months so this is a long-awaited release that’s sure to get a lot of people excited. The exclusive art on the code, dice, and data cards are also great additions to make the release even more exciting,
New Chaos Marine Sorceror
Standard model update here, but a cool thing to note is just how much this guy mirrors his librarian counterpart now!
Start Collecting
There are also two new Start Collecting! sets on their way – one of Vanguard Space Marines and the other of Chaos Space Marines –comprising the two halves of the Warhammer 40,000: Shadowspear battlebox.
Psychic Awakening: Faith & Fury
It then presents a host of new rules for the Space Marines – including a codex expansion’s worth of rules for the storied Black Templars Chapter – and loads of awesome new content for the story’s antagonists, the Heretic Astartes.
Based on this and the previous book the Black Templars will get a pretty sizable update with all the Chaos legions getting smaller focus updates. Not to mention massive plot advancement!
While supplies last if you pre-order a physical copy of Faith & Fury you’ll get some sweet data cards for Helbrecht, Chaplain Grimaldus, Cenobyte Servitors, a Crusader Squad and a Chaos Sorcerer!
It appears that the rumors of Templars getting their rules in Faith & Fury may have some merit after seeing these data card previews.
Sisters of Battle: Situation Report
Here is the post that was removed from Warhammer Community on Saturday, November 16th that shows the new Sisters codex cover, and hints at more reveals coming on Nov 30th as well!
When you all said you wanted plastic Adepta Sororitas, you really meant it!
We celebrated the launch of a completely redesigned faction with the Sisters of Battle Army Set, and our healthy supply sold out online in record time. If you wanted a box and didn’t get one in time, there’s still hope…
The remaining stock has been shipped to stores, and they’ll be on shelves from Friday the 29th of November. Chat with your Warhammer store or local independent shop and see what’s up. Be prepared to show your devotion to the God-Emperor by arriving early if you want the best shot at securing your own!
Don’t lose faith – this boxed set is only the tip of the blade. The vanguard, if you will, to a massive Sisters of Battle release that will be here before you know it. While the contents of the Army Set are specific to this particular box, each and every unit in the army will be getting its own multipart plastic kit in early 2020!
New Sisters Codex Cover For 2020?
We’ll have more news for the faithful very soon – there’s a Warhammer 40,000 Open Day coming up on the 30th of November, after all…
So there you have it, more Sisters on the way in 2020, as this looks to be their “Dark Imperium” type box with a full release for all the Sisters units incoming as well!
