hello hive

so i was reading through this months white dwarf and on the last page where it gives you a sneak peek at next months issue it says :

"exclusively in the next issue of white dwarf, we present the first part of codex : sisters of battle. you will find the background and the bestiary for the devoted warriors of the ecclesiarchy"

....so...umm...huh? why are SoB not getting an actual codex, or at least one that you can buy all together?

This is just a "sneak peak" of some of their fluff I guess. Haven't got this month of the White Dwarf though, but I know they'll get their Codex in stores soon enough
	what do you mean the party's over?

They did the same thing with the Blood Angles at the end of 4th ed. It's not a bad thing, the codex needed updating and it doesn't fit into the release schedule; so they put it in a White Dwarf. This first one should be the fluff and next one should be unit costs.

My question is what is wrong with you guys? GW is giving away something for practically free and people are balking at it. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if GW is the one giving it.

I don't see anybody balking at it. I just think he was confused as if they would make a complete SoB codex or not.

Besides, if you were going to buy the White Dwarf anyway then it might as well be free.

Well if you put it into one prospective, it would be free dou to the fact that it is apart of a codex and the normal white dwarf but if you want it just for the SoB then it wouldn't be "free" but it is still cheaper then hmm about 42-48 aus

The BA WD/PDF Dex was fine, easily on par with the other Dexes of the time. Sisters will also do fine with theirs.

They'll probably get a real Dex and a Model line update in a couple years, but this will hopefully at least open up a few options for them until then, shake things up a bit.

There's no such thing as "supposed to," and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.

Well I don't mind a PDF/White dwarf codex, but there better be at least new metal models coming. Giving me new rules to play with is fine and all but I would like to have the models too.
I'm not going to throw cash at the 3-model blister packs just to get troops.

Just like with BA, that'll happen in a couple of years when they get their real Dex.

The thing is that I actually have a playable army of my own, but it's no larger than 500 points. So maybe I worded my last post poorly but I want to expand my collection, which I can't do without throwing money at blister-packs or hunting on Ebay.

So it will be as free as it gets, no matter how you put it..
