Games Workshop just revealed their first plastic Sisters of Battle today at Warhammer Fest 2018 Come find out the latest and when you can expect to see them.
Plastic Sisters of Battle are going to be a thing sooner than later. The Community spoke, earlier in the year and GW listened, soon we’ll be able to break another clock on the wall!
Fans have been waiting since the late 90’s for more Sisters of Battle, and Games Workshop will be giving us Sisters of Battle sometime in 2019. During the March preview, one fan asked if 2019 meant January 2019, GW simply replied: “no, we need something for next year’s Adepticon.”
Without further ado, we give you the plastic Sisters everyone has been waiting for, via Warhammer Community:
We’ve pushed our designers to the limit with these new models, and this first Battle Sister is the perfect example of that – she’s got everything from ragged purity seals, rosaries and charms, to precise mechanical details on the bolter and power armour that has been lavishly realised. The scenic base alone is an awesome piece in its own right. We think it’s safe to say that if you’re a Sororitas fan, the wait has been well worth it.
This Battle Sister will be the first you’ll be able to get your hands on, a special preview release ahead of the main wave to make the wait a little bit more bearable. We can’t say when just yet, but stay tuned to Warhammer Community to find out as soon as we have a date.
Let’s see what Games Workshop had to say from their last preview back in March
You asked. We’re gonna deliver, finally…
Yup, plastic Sisters of Battle are on their way. For reals.
We know many of you have been waiting patiently (and impatiently…) for a long time for the Adepta Sororitas, and that for many of you this is more than ‘just’ a new army. So, we’re going to do something we’ve never done before – right up until the release, we’ll be bringing you updates on the Sisters of Battle, sharing images and snippets of info and a whole ton of behind the scenes goodness.
Emperor willing, the Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas will be ready to take the fight to the renegade, the heretic and the unbeliever in 2019.
