Where are the pics DL? Are they on GW yet?

More important than all this, which ltd edition codex you guys going to get, me I think it's going to be either Iron Hands or Crimson Fists. Ultramarine one looks pretty too

I like the Iron Hands and Salamanders LE codex, but my limited funds mean I will get a normal book and box of sternguard instead.

I am not even going to get into the whole SoB thing...

Just because I've been away from this thread for a couple of days and haven't caught up I have a quick BT question.

In the current Black Templar Codex Chaplains can be added to command squads without taking up an HQ slot. Have we now lost this ability?

It just means that if I take an Emperor's Champion and a Captain I can't take a Chaplain as they now use up a HQ slot.

Likely yes, as Marines have all lots that ability since 4th edition.

Cheers. Not really followed this properly, it grows too fast...

And that's why they should hit Ward with a heavy object everytime he thinks of writing fluff...

I hate ward. I miss my old sisters with +2 invulnerable saves.

Cruddace wrote the Sisters rules, Ward did the fluff.

I hate them both. I just hate Ward the most. I miss my rending flamers, my I5-I7 sisters, or my strength 8 eviserators

Man I miss the old sisters. I miss my old Inquisitor squads that can re roll to hit and all bs 4 with all plasma rifles.

If they are twenty quid more expensive than the standard edition, then none of them. I love my RG and I'm a sucker for limited edition stuff, but even I draw the line at £20 for a different cover.

Keep in mind that the Sisters of Battle existed in story and artwork as far back as Rogue Trader, and were a fan favorite as far as getting models and an army for them. Black Templars were created as the new cover art and focus of the 3rd Edition boxed set. As angry as I would be if one of my armies got folded into another Codex, keep in mind that they didn't get Squatted, and they could still regain additional army rules such as vows in a Supplement later on. As far as the Sisters, their function in story and game is very much different than Marines, although the Black Templars were later added to create a similarly zealous Marine chapter that had game design elements similar to Fantasy Bretonnians.
