Buckle up and don’t miss the latest on the new Sisters of Battle. From pics of the new plastic models to their recent previews, we’ve got it all.
The fabled plastic Sisters are finally going to be a thing at some point in 2019. So far, GW has been showing us their progress on the faction with updates here and there on the Battle Sisters Bulletin.
Battle Sisters Bulletin
If you haven’t heard, Games Workshop announced that they’ll be posting everything to do with Sisters of Battle in a section of their website called the “Battle Sister Bulletin” this will be your one-stop-shop place to find all the latest details on the faction as Games Workshop works to bring us a codex. So far, they’ve been bringing a lot of exciting updates to the table.
Now here’s what we say at Warhammer Fest in the latest batch of previews:
Warhammer Community posted images of the painted figure they made from the preview render showcases at Adepticon 2018.
Now, one year later, we’re closer to the release of the most asked-for army in Warhammer’s history – and we can unveil just what this magnificent Battle Sister looks like painted…
Simply Stunning…
You’ll be able to get this model for yourself in a special advance release ahead of the rest of the Sisters of Battle. Stay tuned for news on how you can get yours…
Games Workshop is really going hard in the paint on this one. Exclusive images sent in from James Martin show the new model above.
Shadows appear to make the plastic look darker around her head and chest.
However, the sprue appears to be normal multi-part injection molded plastic. Looks like she will be a clam-pack style sprue that may be coming a lot sooner than the rest of the Sister releases.
Plus a surprise Seraphim mounted on the Inceptor flight stand. Not sure what material this is, as the lighting makes identification difficult.
So far, all of the models are shaping up to really do the faction some justice. With that said, we’ve got another model for you to look over!
New Sisters of Battle Retributor Model Spotted
The heavy weapons unit for the Sisters are getting a rework and we have to say we’re pretty happy with the results.
You might remember the Heavy Bolter from a while back. It was previewed along with a handful of other weapons. We still don’t know who will be getting what exactly. But this Heavy Bolter sure looks good in the arms of the Retributor!
Retributors are also getting a resculpted Heavy Flamer! But these aren’t just any Heavy Flamers. These are loaded with the classic Sisters iconography and style. From Fleur de Lise and medieval-looking barrel extensions, these girls are looking unique. Plus, from the two pics above, we can see that there’s going to be all kinds of variations between the models.
In addition to multiple options of each weapon type and a Sister Superior to lead them, the Retributors will have a number of head options, including bare, helmeted, or ones equipped with rebreathers – all of which have their own additional flourishes of detail.
And last but not least, the Armorium Cherub is getting a new model as well. We’re not sure if we’re supposed to think it’s cute or haunting…But hey, either way, the model looks great and we’re excited to see where he pops up on the table.
That’s everything for the latest batch of previews, don’t miss the everything from earlier in the year as well below for the Sisters. Industry Insiders have said that fall looks to be their release date, but with the China tariff issue looming large, it’s hard to say with any certainty until the models hit the warehouses!
