Wow, these are gorgeous! Looks like even more new Sisters of Battle have been spotted in an official GW image! Don’t miss this.
If you haven’t heard, there are plenty of other Sisters releases coming outside of the Army Set. But it looks like never-before-seen units are still emerging over the web! Get caught up on the previous units we’ve seen (that we know are coming outside the Army Set) as well as what was just spotted.
Previously Previewed Sisters Units Not in the Army Set
Warhammer Community has been teasing Sisters vehicles and units all the way before the NOVA Open. Looking at all of the stuff that won’t be in the Army Set:
The Rhino is one unit we’re waiting to see. These were originally previewed to come with circular doors. However, was changed some point soon after its first preview. There were, however, some other rhino-chassis type vehicles previewed showing circular doors. We’re also getting the Immolator and Exorcist!
Immolator with Flame weapon option
Exorcist with Lady Ga-Ga style helmeted weapons operator. My what big eyes you have there…
Sister Hospitaller Model Revealed
The Hospitaller has loads of interesting details, such as the symbolic doves carrying unfurled scrolls of holy scripture, and the hollow helm (complete with full interior detail!) of the fallen Battle Sister on her scenic base.
Sisters of Battle Retributors
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.
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.
cherubs are set to become a common sight across the upcoming Adepta Sororitas range. Whether they carry sacred texts, scrolls and relics, incensed-wreathed censors, or even the keys to the Simulacrum Imperialis carried by the Battle Sister Squads, they represent wonderfully macabre additions to many of the kits.
New Sisters Multipart Kits & Units SPOTTED
Spotted on Warhammer-Stratford’s Facebook Page:
Notice some new stuff in this pic? It looks like there are new units that have just been spotted leading the charge as well as some multipart SoB squads.
Moving from left to right, it looks like the Battle Sisters Squad has a model carrying a multi-melta and is posed completely different from the special weapon Sororitas in the back with the flamer. (What’s coming inside the Army Set).
On top of that, the Sergeant is posed with a power sword in her left hand vs. the Sergeant from the Army Set only shown with a chain sword in her right hand.
Next, there’s a single character on a slightly larger base from the rest of her Sisters. It looks like she’s holding some kind of scroll and staff in her hand. You might remember the Sisters Diologus from back in the day. It’s safe to say that she needed an update and it looks like that might be exactly what happened.
Next, there’s this mysterious thing that looks to have a quad flamer/melta. This flying pulpit has some kind of Sister decked out with fancy white gloves, a huge staff, and an Iron Halo on her back. (That means she might be coming with a 4++ invuln like all other characters that have that do).
EDITOR’S NOTE: Or it may just be a bad photoshop job and perhaps that is on the back of a Rhino chassis. It’s hard to tell at this point TBH.
While this picture popped up unexpectedly, there’s definitely a lot to digest from it! Do you see any other big changes from the models spotted in the mono-pose Army Set?
