Sisters of Battle Rumor Roundup

An interesting tidbit I overheard being discussed recently is that Sisters of Battle are getting a digital codex release soon. Unfortunately, I'm still in the dark as to if there will be a physical codex release, or whether this is new material or just a repackaging of the current list.

A digital release of the White Dwarf list, no doubt. Several writers I've met this year said the real codex is currently under way.

White Dwarf confirmed 9-25-2013

-Digital codex
-6th Edition rules update (including Warlord Traits)

We know that there are still thousands of Sisters of Battle fans with lovingly painted collections of Sisters of Battle miniatures, but there is no easy way to get hold of a codex to use them in your games. We wanted to provide an up to date codex that would be fully compatible with the current edition of Warhammer 40,000 and let players bring the forces of the Ecclesiarchy to the battlefield once more.

The starting point for this codex was the mini Codex published in White Dwarf (it being the closest to current way of building an army). One thing that you may not know about the White Dwarf codex is that much of the background that was written for it was never put into the magazine due to space restrictions. There is no such issue with digital editions, so much of the background in the digital codex has never been printed before.

The rules of course, have been updated as well. All the newer Codexes contain army-specific Warlord Traits and unique items, and this Codex is no exception.

Existing players will also notice a few other changes, particularly the way Acts of Faith work with your army. There are even a few additions that other newer Codexes don’t have, such as Apocalypse Formations and Altar of War scenarios.

Digital release only - ships October 11th

Makes sense, get a digital version of the WD codex out there at minimal cost, get a few people to hopefully invest in the metal range and run down stocks while they work on the real one.

It had better be minimal cost. I'm not paying more than $5 for a digital reprint of something the put in a White Dwarf!

...get a few people to hopefully invest in the metal range and run down stocks while they work on the real one.

They'd do better if they cut the prices.

[eldargal]

It depends. If it is a 96+ page regular codex with lots of background and the old rules revamped for 6th it would be worth more than 5 dollars. If it it just the WD articles updated for 6th then yes it had better be priced low.

Yes, of course. I wasn't clear. If it's a brand new codex, I'm all over it and they can charge a proper price for it.

[eldargal]

Well I don't mean a new codex exactly, that will come with physical copies when the book is ready. I just mean morphing the 5th edition one into something resembling a real codex.

That, they'd have to charge less than a full codex for, but more than a pittance would be ok.

[eldargal]

Yup. Update the rules, stuff in the usual amount of background and charge fifteen pounds for it or something. That would be nice. Otherwise a cheap digital version of the WD rules updated for 6th.

The Sisters really are 40k for me. They are the grim dark point of the grim dark spear of grim darkness. I guess one could use the Chaos Marine Codex to field something like a 6th Ed SoB force along with a horde of Cannon(ess) Fodder.

It's still going to be a hard sell to get people to invest in an all metal range. They'd be better off making the WD codex a free download if that is the strategy, but I doubt very much they will do that.
