This is from the AdeptiCon post on GW website:
"Last time we ran the Big Community Survey, loads of you asked for plastic Sisters of Battle – so this year, we’re giving you some! A selection of lucky fans who participate in this year’s Big Community Survey will win some fabulous prizes. 10 entrants will receive a squad of Battle Sisters, while one lucky winner will be receiving a whole Adepta Sororitas army – yes, the new ones! So, if having the chance to fundamentally shape the future of Warhammer forever isn’t enough, you might even get some free stuff while you’re at it."
 

 
so it's time to start assembling the Sisters of Battle rumors in one thread.

The "post" BBCode only works for internal linking, so I tidied the links up. Also, edited title.

Their heads were revealed some time ago. I'm getting a grim dark Dora the Explorer vibe of the bottom right hand side one. Grimdora.

[Brother-serpent Tylydox]

I am getting a Kurt Russell vibe from the top row, second from the left.

HERETIC, NO HERETIC!

*glorious cleansing fire proceeds*

[Blindhamster]

love the top left one.

[Red_Shift]

IIRC there were also some more scarred/veteran heads shown? That particular batch are ok but I like the look from the Karl Kopinski artwork where in some pieces the sisters look serene and almost angelic and in others covered in scars and generally badass. I'm thinking there will have to be a fair few options either way as sisters are one of the few factions that tend to always be helmetless.

[Reinhard]

10/10 Pious expressions. Would die with on Armageddon

[Montford]

I like the one wearing the helmet but with the visor up. 

[Slave to Darkness]

Yes these look pleasing. Think Ill be moving on to Sisters when they drop, they have been calling to me these past few months...

[Marshal Rohr]

Really hope they include enough helmets for everyone to be covered

[Plasmablasts]

I like the cowled head. Can never have too many cowls.

[Toxichobbit]

Seeing all this makes me want to put some serious work into a Chaos army.

[Sete]

Love it.
Will buy a squad for sure.

Edited by Sete, 30 March 2019 - 01:31 PM.

[Triszin]

I think my favorite heads are top middle, and top end right.

[PaladinStormlord]

I am liking the one with the eye patch and the one with the rebreather, would work well for jump pack units.

[Reinhard]

Love it.
Will buy a squad for sure.

 

Buy one, then paint em up as the argent shroud. Wish we had refreshed Grimaldus to go wtih them.

Someone on Dakka got shown a bunch of pictures of either models or screen shots but they got taken down. I don't know if this is a april fools joke cause it's still the 31st over here.

 

* GW understands this is new territory, Witch Hunters was a long time ago and Codex SoB even longer, some store managers weren't even born then. So there's no recent sales history to guide orders and they want to stress this will be a huge launch, and retailers should order expecting Primaris level numbers.

* The initial wave will include a plastic Immolator, a plastic/resin Exorcist, plastic Frateris Militia (with both a female and male sets), Sister Cestine and two bodyguards, a painting guide, a BL omnibus of SoB novels and a codex.

* There will also be SoB-branded Rhinos, Predators and Demolishers as well as a special DoB drop pod set to make the Ordo Hereticus strikeforce detachment 

* SoB decal sheets will be available

* Sorry decals are mail order only.

* Also look for a Kill Team SoB box with St Celestine and a ruined temple.

* The Militia will be really grimdark, covered in robes, candles and weapons that look like homemade parodies of weapons carried by the Emperor's servants.

* New special character St O'Lander (sp?), keeps with the theme of death and rebirth but she's more of a ghost to Cestine's angel look. White robes and hood, great flying effect. 

* She'll be able to summon some sort of spirits or ghosts who suck psychic energy. Really good flying effect but also easy build, comes in turquoise plastic.

* Another saint (!!) Arabelle (sp?) some sort of spirit of life,angel wings but nature looking with a fleurs de lis spear and halo mounted a giant xenos beast.

* There was some trouble on the line here when someone asked about the plastic sisters kit, kind of vague answers, nothing specific, couldn't get a price point or how many kits. Lots of cross talk, all I caught was something about sleeves and veils.

* New sisters unit, heavier armor, shields, CC weapons, reportedly taller than most Sisters, some kind of primaris maybe? not sure. Heard the word Eternals used for them.


* There will be ton of Sisters-appropriate terrain including a line of fortifications that captures the sisters' obsession with self-sacrifice where the bodies of the slain are literally part of the walls.


* The classic metal line will get one last splash launch with a 2 weeks made to order. There was some commotion on the line when someone asked if retailers can carry the MTO stuff lots of back and forth, stories not happy if they can't get a cut of this, GW rep said they'd consider it.

* A lot of excitement about a Sisters flier, some sort of ground support plane like an A10.


* Never mind, it's Forge World only.

* Hard at work finalizing the codex, based on playtesting and feedback the acts of faith are being rewritten "from the ground up". Someone asked about affecting ship dates. GW got a big laugh when they said "have faith", kind of had to be there.

So lots of excitement and enthusiasm from Nottingham, but some skepticism from the retail end. Strange they didn't have a shot of the Sisters kit to show.

[Commander Dawnstar]

Yeah, that's absolutely an April Fools thing.

 

Among other gems we have nods such as:

• Militia with weapons that are homemade parodies of those used by the Emperor's servants
• "Saint O'lander" with her ghostly airs and anti-psychic ghoulies
• "Saint Arabelle" on her giant xenos beast
• "Eternals" on a Primaris scale with heavy armour and shields

Some thought's gone into this but it's not exactly subtle.

[CaptainMarsh]

Yeah that isn't very subtle or convincing. I was pressing X to Doubt really hard even before I saw those links. xd Almost every single line has something silly.

[MegaVolt87]

1st bottom left head is like the look your grandma gives you when she sees you eat too many of her cookies before dinner.

Also the nod to the Avenger strike fighter. Rumour rating 5/10 flamers

[Slips]

Legit news this time, about seraphim: https://www.warhamme...him-first-look/

 

Edited by Slips, 01 April 2019 - 01:22 PM.

[Charlo]

Yup. That's a Seraphim alright!

 

I like the gauntlets. But as they point out it's hard to get too excited when they basically look like the Geminae.

[Closet Skeleton]

I kept waiting for an april fools joke about them not needing flying stands anymore but couldn't see one.
