Asmondai Lt. Brookman Asmondai Lt. Brookman DarkElf27 So what are the odds of GW coming out with plastics for the Sisters anytime in the indeterminate future? They are two or three years out still. They won't come until the new Sisters codex arrives, so sit tight for now.
Published few units in plastic and see if people buys them and
"PING! Let´s make a codex". 3nodding
Oh well, patience is a virtue they say.... ^^"Sister players will have to make do with the stopgap codex for the time being, there are other armies out there that need a fix now: Tau and Chaos Legions are both discussed as coming next year alongside the 6th edition of 40k.
Chaos I can understand, Tau to me seems little of need
of fixing at the moment, being cheapy with "jetpacks" and "tons of shield
drone" tactics anyway. @.@As of right now the Black Templars, Tau Empire and Dark Angels have the oldest codex books, the Tau need a revision as they were SOL the last time round by getting a new codex moments before a new edition hit the stores. While sure, we could use more Imperial and more Space Marine books, I'd rather see them do some non-Imperial things first.

While sure, we could use more Imperial and more Space Marine books, I'd rather see them do some non-Imperial things first.
I´m morely consern on the being broken element then being just older codexes,
Tau did get a revision to the 5th Edition and is still a working codex,
disbite being a slight underdog againts Marines and IG with their
better gears and weapons.
BT and DA only has better gears, BT having somewhat working rules
with Vows and the whole "They shot our brother! Let´s get them! RAGE!!" rule
and DA only has Ravenwings and Deathwings.
These two are in dire need of a newer codex then Tau.
But that´s just my 2cents,
the rumours tell Tau, Eldar and Chaos being more important
because of the tie-in fluffs for the 6th Edition rulebook,
so they want to get those out of the way as soon as possible.

The last thing we need right now is more Space Marines, alienating the non-Imperial players even further.
edit.
That was a unintentional bad pun. gonk

That was a unintentional bad pun. gonk They have been going a bit overboard with lots of different chapter codices lately. Where's the love for IG, with Cadian and Catachan and Mordian codices? neutral

Sisters always were the Cinderella, non-plastic side project, and I do not expect them to get much more love soon. DA and CSM seem really in need of good update while BT seem to cope somehow with current meta using lots of LR crusaders and enhanced melee abilities.

Hey, a question has been on my mind the last day or so going over the SoB codex. What is the visual difference between a masked infantry Sister and a Celestian unit? Neither of us can tell the difference based on the photos that we've seen in the books.

Neither of us can tell the difference based on the photos that we've seen in the books. Purely cosmetic model wise. The most common way to set the models apart as far as I recall is to add more golden lining to the armour and intricate (or simple wink ) patterns to the sleeves and cloth.

Ya know, if the Sisters weren't all metal (and therefore expensive), I would actually consider building a force of them.
Kinda wish I could combine Imperial forces in a single list (i.e. like you used to be able to do with the Sisters and Imperial Guard).

The trick to getting all 3 was to use a Guard base and bring in friends.

I tell the difference for mine by swapping the robe and armor colors. My normal Sisters have pink armor and white robes, and my Celestians have white armor and pink robes. (side note: I find the white armor and pink robes looks better, to be honest.) But... Mine aren't exactly... how to put it... they... aren't exactly in line with some of the more common Imperial traditions. Of course, if I'm not fielding Celestians, I use the ones with white armor as just normal Battle Sisters.

What i think i may do is the shoulder guards in boltgun metal or burnished gold... just to signify the difference. I cant really change the color of the squad entirely because my HQ unit still has the black armor. Cant upstage the cannoness

Gold would probably pop out too much, while metal would nicely complement the existing scheme and not disrupt.
