I like the bolter hidden / attached behind the sheild It'll be nice to have a melee armored infantry unit. Most of the current melee options for sisters are pretty fragile and glass hammer. I'm interested to see what they have in store for this unit. I am assuming it will be a celestian statline, with perhaps a storm shield and maybe glaive being like a +2 strength power weapon or something? Wouldn't seem over the top considering bladeguard exist.

Polearm looks like most axes....so probably +2S AP -2
If they want to be clever could ahve some kind of counter charge bonus

Gonna predict something like a 2+/4++, possibly with 2W if they want to extend the Bladeguard comparison. Halberds probably S+2, AP-2, D2 with maces at Sx2, AP-2, D3 with -1 to hit.
As a former Chaos Warriors player (and Easterlings player), I adore the halberd and shield look.

I am happy that GW has gone all in on the Sister re-launch. I remember in 6th when people had the pipe dream that GW would do a non-pewter line just to replace the old line but they went well above and beyond that, now it did take 3 more editions and almost 10 years; but I think given the love they are getting it was well worth the wait and new models.
Happy to see that GW wants Sisters to be a well rounded and beefy codex with depth and options. This does give me hope that maybe Custode and Harlequins are not doomed to a razor thin codex forever.

Her robes are cool, but that head is a fucking mess. She looks like she has a severe sinus infection but came to work anways because she "needs the money".

I feel like the artists have been specifically told they need to avoid overly sexualizing the sisters. This seems to have translated to "make her so unattractive the emperor wont even want to wake up".

I like the banner far more then the top-the-top silliness that the bladeguard ancient swings around.

They said on the stream where they revealed her that she would be "near primarch level of power". I would say this statline is quite near primarch level. Maybe not Morty level, but she certainly looks quite similar to Gulliman.

Ahh yes, just what Retributors needed. Reroll all hit rolls and all wound rolls.
