Sisters of Battle, or the Adepta Sororitas, have the distinction of being probably the first faction released due to public pressure. They'd been in the background since being taken off the main stage, but when Games Workshop brought them back, it caused a storm! The miniatures themselves are brilliantly detailed and pay serious homage to the originals, while at the same time adding extra layers of lore with the new units. Though personally not a fan, we really hope that there is a big fan following for them, because credit where credit is due, GW did go all out on these minis! Which brings us to this week, and the release of the Codex: Adepta Sororitas for 10th Edition Warhammer 40K. The Codex is available in two denominations - Flay and Pray Collectors Edition, and Righteous Zeal Standard Edition. Along with the Codex, there is a new Battleforce, Army of Faith, which includes the new Canoness with Jump Pack, one chunky tank/organ (Exorcist), 5 x Zephyrim, 10 x Seraphim, and three Adepta Sororitas transfer sheets. There's also a new Adepta Sororitas Combat Patrol, which includes 1 x Canoness, 5 x Celestian Sacresants, 10 x Battle Sisters, 10 x super creepy Arco-Flagellants and two Adepta Sororitas Transfer Sheets. The recent trend of releasing the Blackstone Fortress minis separately continues, with the Ministorum Priest with Vindictor also on pre-order this week. As tradition would (mostly) hold, there's a set of Adepta Sororitas Dice (cunningly coloured so you can't see the pips on the dice faces) and Datasheet Cards also on their way.
From the purity of the Sisters of Battle, to the heresy of the followers of the Many Armed God - yes it's the other faction that was demanded by fans, and also brilliantly executed by the miniatures team, Genestealer Cults. This faction has to be the single most kitbashed faction in Warhammer 40K, being the basis for many Blanchitsu, INQ28 and other fan-led universes, as well as a brilliant source of weapons options for Imperial Guard AND a fantastic range in and of themselves! With a collection of unique vehicles, the Genestealer Cults really is the miniatures range you could turn into almost anything - from rogue Guard units, to Rogue Traders, civilians, Necromunda gangs, armed miners, a motorized gang holding a planet hostage, deep space explorers - the look is almost universal! In fact the have been the basis for Space Skaven too. So this week, the new Genestealer Cults Codex for 10th edition is also on pre-order, available in Galactic Liberation Collectors Edition and Clandestine Long Game Standard Edition. The new Battleforce - Biosanctic Broodsurge - has the brand new Benefictus mini, an Abominant, 5 x Aberrants, 2 x Goliath Rockgrinder/ Goliath Truck combi-kits, 10 x Neophyte Hybrids, and 10 x Purestrain Genestealers. Meanwhile, the new Genestealer Cults Combat Patrol is a fast hard hitting collection featuring a Jackal Alphus, an Achilles Ridgerunner, 5 x Atalan Jackals, and 10 x Hybrid Metamorphs/ Acolyte Hybrids (the ones you can add Skaven heads to and make Space Skaven). We also have the Genestealer Cults Dice (always brilliant!) and Genestealer Cults Datasheet Cards, with pretty purple edging!
Speaking of Warhammer 40K 10th Edition, this week sees the pre-order of the new Chapter Approved: Pariah Nexus Mission Deck which gives you updated cards for deployment, primary and secondary objectives, new Secret Missions, and new mission rules, plus some pop-out objective tokens. Also in Pariah Nexus-land, the new Mission Objectives are incoming. Now these are large markers that you place on the game board (or maybe hover over it if you prefer) to show the control range of a regular objective. That seems like a brilliant idea, right? Well it is until you look at the outrageous price. This is the sort of pricing that angers the Community. A crazy price for what is essentially 6 markers. Really, GW, take a look at yourself!
Back to some minis - the new-ish Ork Big Mek comes with some customising options and an especially poorly executed model, the Shield-Captain - who has all the right elements for a great miniature, but he's horribly proportioned. Now they use computers, couldn't they just have stretched him?
In books this week we have the new Siege of Vraks novel with comes in Special Edition and Hardback, plus two "Black Library Classics", Rose in Darkness in paperback and Creed: Ashes of Cadia in paperback.
It's also a White Dwarf week with issue 501 hitting stores this coming Friday - except it is delayed in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
