We’ve collected all the images and late breaking information from today on all the new Characters, Plastic Sisters, Celestine, and the war that is coming to Cadia.
First off Games Workshop had lots to say on their Twitch Stream today, and we have transcribed the highlights for you:
What You Need To Know About Gathering Storm: The Fall of Cadia:
- Abaddon is leading the 13th Black Crusade into the Cadia Gate once again.
- GW has confirmed these Sister models are plastic, with Celestine being the first official plastic Sister:
- The three “new” Characters are: Inquisitor Greyfax, Belisarius Cawl (Ad Mech), and Celestine the Living Saint!
- There are datasheets in the new book for them and Belisarius was said to be T6 with 5 wounds. The opposite page from him also looked to have the rules for Canticles which may foreshadow his exact faction. Also apparently he has been running around for 10,000 years “doing something that will be revealed in this book”.
- The “best Warhammer 40,000 story is starting in 2017, and will go on into 2018 and beyond.”
