And GW just announced plastic Sisters of Battle, coming in 2019.

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.

Yep...some are riding sharks & sea horses...or a big turtle.

While a couple of the minis look cool most are just a bit OTT for my tastes, a bit too on the nose, though maybe its just the paint jobs that are turning me off.

I was hoping for an AoS faction I would actually like but at the mo I could maybe see me getting a few minis at the most...maybe...

FINALLY plastic sisters! Really hyped for these, hyped like the giddy 13 year old Space Marine fanboy that I once was. I thought it was going to happen soon, glad I just sold my metal sisters  lol

In other news I went to Warhammer World for the first time recently, was in Nottingham anyway and had a couple of hours to kill. Wish i’d Had more time! I was awed by some of the displays. Some like the Emperor vs Horus dio that I’ve admired for years are just 10x nicer in the flesh, and there’s some very old John Blanche stuff on display. Due to running out of time we didn’t get to go to the bar which was a shame, so I’ll definitely go back.

The ‘Dioramas’ book mentioned earlier in the thread was the only thing I bought; there’s a deal with this plus an exhibition ticket (face value £7.50) for £20 which isn’t too bad. It’s not a particularly hefty tome but it’s a very nice memento after seeing the displays themselves.

Genuinely happy with the visit. The wife even enjoyed it!

Now, I'd be excited if not for the fact that they'll be out of scale with my metal sisters.  :?
I do suspect that this is great new for anyone interested and without prior models, however!

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

And more Imperial Knights...which look really bad (shame since the normal Knight kit looks superb).  Overall, an exceptionally "meh" combination of announcements.

I thought the new knight looks like a mini warlord titan. It makes me wonder if GW kinda wish they could make titans smaller.

Well they're launching a new Adeptus Titanicus eventually, so maybe this can be used as a proxy.

I see they are doing a Warhammer Legends website for old minis with no rules. I wonder if they are aiming to stop selling the older minis and port them across to there so they don't have to keep putting them into the generals handbook.

I believe that is the plan - as well as not being able to use them in tournaments going foreward etc.  So you can use them in fluffy local games, but cannot take them to large events.

Personally don't have a problem with that - would rather see that than have them disappear completely.

Agreed.

I think I'd actually like to see the non-AoS factions (the hang-overs from the old world) dropped. It would certainly help to make the game feel less cluttered because with all the options there now its a bit of a mess.

I have to say, I can't stand the AoS aesthetic or any of the factions - but I sadly agree, the old armies need to be removed - just rip the band-aid off, rather than letting them sit, slowly rotting and being removed from the webstore, lol.

If you're going to kill classic Warhammer Fantasy - just do it wholesale.

 lol I'm no fan either though part of me wants to like something in AoS. The Orruks came close but those not-boars are just plain fuggly. Sadly, I don't think the fishy elves are gunna do it for me either  :(

I think they literally jumped the shark on this one.
