The rules for the new Sisters of Battle Cannoness Veridyan were just spotted which may contain hints at a brand new Codex for the Sisters as well!
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!
And now she’s revealed. Coming to us via the old 2nd Edition Codex Cover, this miniature is based off the Iconic John Blanche Art!
Based on this art of course:
Checkout what the gang in Nottingham had to say about the big reveal via their Facebook:
This book isn’t accompanying a new range of miniature, but we couldn’t let the release of a new book containing so many awesome sub-factions under the Imperial aegis pass without some sort of model to mark the occasion. So, our Studio Team set sculptor Martin Footit the task of creating an iconic miniature to accompany the book – and he didn’t disappoint.
You will be able to pre-order Adepta Sororitas Canoness Veridyan this weekend, and she will only be available while stocks last. She’ll also be accompanied by a new selection of Made to Order miniatures, from the Inquisition, Ecclesiarchy and Adepta Sororitas range, including some classics not available for years.
And now GW says she won’t be THAT hard to score as retailers had previous reported:
We had a lot of questions about this new Canoness yesterday (no huge surprise there, we know lots of you have been faithfully waiting a long time for a new Battle Sister).
A lot of you were worried that you wouldn’t be able to get hold of one, but don’t worry; we don’t want any of you to miss out. While she’s going to be in stores for a limited time (from the 17th) she will be available to order direct from our online store for the foreseeable future, so you’ll all have the chance to add this heroine to your collection.
The Emperor protects
And the rules via reds8n:
“Codex: Adepta Sororitas OR Codex: Imperial Agents….”
…. wait….
.. does that mean there’s a separate book coming ?
Now one thing to remember is that the digital book IS called Codex Adepts Sororitas, BUT it is possible that it could drop as an in-print codex at any point as well in 2017, and the Celestine mini may still stay in there.
Other than that she seems pretty “plain” in terms of rules here? Fact check me Sisters Experts, am I wrong here?
So do you think GW would go though all this trouble to reference a digital codex in another unit’s rules if they didn’t have future plans for it?
We really wanted plastic sister of battles, but for now at least it looks like we’re getting a resin one (Finecast)?
