Got dicked.
Really?
GW, you fucked up big time, I mean, c'mon.
This is just incredibly poor writing from you.
Battle Sisters being forced to take 10+ models in a unit, and making them therefore take Rhinos as the basic Transport despite a lack of heavy weaponry to utilise the fire-point well?
Immolators paying the full non-BA amount for the Heavy Flamer turret for no discernible reason, especially since it simply isn't that good - very clearly not 25 points better than a Heavy Bolter.
Immolators again, paying 80 points to slap a TL Multi-Melta on a Transport you can't even fit your Scoring uint inside?
Immolators a third time - so Inferno Bolts are supposedly worth 25 points more than regular Heavy Bolter ammo. Really. Dumb.
12 points a Battle Sister. Insane. They needed to be cheaper, not a point more. Such a load of nonsense.

GW does not care about Sisters players anyway.
Who is going to start an essentially all metal army? What does that cost now? A standard 10 person squad with assault weapon, sergeant, and banner is like 75.65 and I am guessing they are pretty much direct only since GW pulled all metal from the standard catalog. Add in the rhino and you are like 100 dollars for your under 200 point unit.
GW updated the codex to try to get the players to choose a different army.
Heres a question for you.
Did you really want to play with them even if the codex had have been good???
If the answer that is no..(and i think im right in thinking it is).... why care?? You've never shown any sympathey for them before.
*Refuses to comment on the Sisters codex incase it turns out to be a massive joke by GW*
*Is hit in the face with the Haddock of Truth*
*Looks and cries*
I was gutted when I saw part 1 as it looked like a step back, then the points came out and its just a kick in the nads.
I had gotten my SoB out of storage a couple of months ago, and was refraining from the 3rd Ed codex as I thought we might actually get a good one.
I can't believe that I'd rather play a 3rd Ed codex than a 5th ...
@ TKE: truer words were never spoken, my friend. Did they actually look at what they rote and playtest it before publishing? I'm thinking no.
@Death Korps of War : I would have, if they had been as awesome as, say, the new DE, SW, GK, or BA Codexes. and just because he never used them doesn't mean he isn't correct in his analysis. It's a shit job done by shits.
I am also rather disappointed in what I've seen. I've been sitting on a Sisters army for 2 years that I picked up in trade and began painting them a few months back, expecting a fall BOOK. Now I've got my momentum going and this comes out and I'm just floored. I almost agree with Bully about playing the 3rd ed 'dex. At least I'd have my Stormtroopers and Inquisitors still.
I will continue to finish the army, as I've invested this much time in it already and will play with it. I'm disappointed but never have given up on an underdog. I do play Eldar, Tyranids and Chaos Marines after all. ;)
Sadly, I think you may be right, eriochrome. :(
DKoW I will see tonight anyway, but the rest of the comments (and his) warrant a fuller response than the comment section.
Hopefully I will find time after a game tonight - I have buggered my laptop power cable, and need either a replacement or to sit at a stupid angle constantly. :(
As a Sisters player, who played them solidly until around 6 moths ago, I am speechless.
I still haven't gotten my hands on said White Turd 'cod3x'.
I am woefully, bitterly disappointed to say the least.
I suppose it's time for me to break down and buy a Blood Angels codex if I want to play my sisters in anything other than a game with Noobs in a relaxed setting.
so Sisters of the Red Rage it is.
It's actually really simple. Main reason, GW is trying to remove allies for years now. They finally did it. (remember their previous attempt with online codex backfired)
