Here is the confirmation for that model:

Resin says "Limited Release" to me. Get your order in quick when she goes up on the site.

[pretre]

I was hoping to preorder locally for the canoness and book but may go through their site.

[pretre]

Allegedly. Asked after Blanche artwork.prevailing theory is the 2nd edition codex cover.

[WestRider]

Yeah, I just called my FLGS to try to put a hold on a copy of the Legions book, and they said they weren't taking holds because their order got cut in half. I suspect this Canoness might well be another that GW has underestimated demand for like that.

[pretre]

Put in a pre-order with Guardian for the book and canoness. Yay!

Resin says failcast in my book. Are you sure you want that?

Adepta Sororitas – Canoness Veridyan

Yesterday, we took a very quick look at the upcoming Codex: Imperial Agents book, and it’s looking very exciting (unless you’re a heretic, of course…).

This book isn’t accompanying a new range of miniature, but we couldn’t let the release of a new book containing so many awesome sub-factions under the Imperial aegis pass without some sort of model to mark the occasion. So, our Studio Team set sculptor Martin Footit the task of creating an iconic miniature to accompany the book – and he didn’t disappoint.

[pretre]

Damn, ninja'd.

First: Failcast is just a silly term at this point.

Second: Yes.

[pretre]

Dammit, made to order for us too. This could get spendy.

Fantastic Canoness model!

 

Anybody else notice that Aeronautica Imperialis was included in the Imperial Agents codex?  I might buy some air support for my fledgling Guard after all.

Have they changed in quality? Model looks great, but I've had really bad results with finecast models.

The issues that occurred were mostly in the first couple of runs. There was drastically improved quality control in later runs.

I think, and this is speculation, that it will allow you to buy a flight of valks/vendettas as 'Imperial Agents'.

I'm hoping for a Thunderhawk kit. Almost every other pewter model has been getting new plastic kits, why not the thunderhawk?

Because it's currently available from FW, and presumably not selling well enough over there for GW to swap it to plastic.

 

If they did a fully plastic Storm Eagle/Fire Raptor dual kit, on the other hand...

Also, I've gotta say, even tho I like that they are doing a new Sororitas Model in any capacity, there are a lot of design choices that I really, really don't like there. Some of it, like the hair, is just Blanche's style translating badly to an actual Model, but there are also things like the high heels and the boob-plate that are making her own armour as much an active danger to her as a source of protection.

Yeah, I get that, but...

 

It's also just a classic image translated to a model. Like all those bolter/PF captains that keep getting made.

[WestRider]

I'm just saying, Blanche should have been forced to walk around broken terrain in high heels for a while before he was allowed to paint her with those boots.

Anyone else think GW's new "Codex: SoB & friends" could be related to the presence of Wonder Woman in DC movies (Batman vs superman, plus the upcoming wonder woman film)? GW does tend to mimic television a lot.

[pretre]

Nope.

[Lord Hanaur]

the model is epic.  Why would you not.

[AbusePuppy]

Because it represents a lot of the elements that some people find underwhelming and bland about the current SoB range? :P

[Lord Hanaur]

newp.  It's all win.  win win win win win.
