The rest of us non-suscribers have to wait now until the issue is released. For some reason my local newsagent gets WD a day before GW store. No they don't. They get them the same day but the GW staff only put it out after they've read every page so they can tell you about it all when you walk in the shop. What no SoB, someones gonna be miffed.

Militant feminists, guys who like the idea of 'buying a woman,' and normal people all agree: sisters need an update.
The militant feminists also demand a through fluff update, but the creepy guys would be satisfied by new artwork... Normal people want a new codex more than anything.
Being anything but normal, or an easy to please consumer, I want all three.

My god, but what happens when they actually do bring out the SoBs?
That's what has got me worried.
@req
Seconded.

Maybe when they actually do get around to it, they'll realize how popular they can be. *Gasp!* Maybe that will spark a realization that they need to be more in touch with their clientele! *Gasp, again*
They could do a little test run in WD by writing a sisters article or two. Maybe some new DE fluff. Maybe a focus article on pariah tactics. Good gravy, they could use WD to try to sell something besides SM and LotR! I might faint...

Anything other than LotR!!!!
Anything!!
thems just a bunch of pages right in the middle of my favorite magazine that I tend to simply skip.
and...probably shouldn't mention DE fluff and Sisters articles together in the same paragraph...
those two shouldn't mix...they wouldn't get along at all. (Well, the DE would be thrilled of course, they're happy to meet anybody!)

There's a piece of ymmot artwork in there somewhere...
Oooo! There's an idea: get your artwork published in WD! You would, of course, be castrated by GW's legal department for using 40K characters, and you'd end-up sad and bitter... -er. But that's fitting for a DE player.

No, he wouldn't.
Simply put, unless he actually profits from GW's work, he can't be prosecuted. At best, he can argue right to parody - Free Speech. If you summon the shade of Johnathen Swift to your aid*, that would also help your case immensely. Mainly because Swift's mere prescence is imnicial to lawyerkind.
Anyone who gets the ironic reference here and can explain it in writing gets a whole box of internet cookies.

The 'not making a profit' thing may or may not apply. But the parody thing would. He may be asked to stop regardless, not that he'd have to, if he could demonstrate that it was free use by parody.

You have reached the number of GW Legal Department, Castration Team. All our operators are busy (?) at the moment. Please leave a message after the tone. *BLEEP!*

Isn't that always the way?
Well, we'll have to sterilize this area... then we can take control of the WD publishing dept. Then we can have ymmot's art fill the pages between our fluff, and no LotR stuff. That stuff can go in a web-only periodical.

Great idea!

This is fun!

*teleports out to secret Mars base*
I got an issue of WD just now when I was in Nottingham.
OK there are 56 heads in the new SW box, but its a duplicate - so there are 28 heads on each sprue. 12/56 heads are scout heads - a nice touch. Some have mutton-chop moustaches. Some of the hairstyles look a bit lame. There's one bloodclaw head (number 6 in the picture of the frame) that has a plait growing out of one side of his face. It's ugly! That's all I can say. Some helmeted heads, one wolf-shaped helmet. In fact you could make a Wolf Guard with wolfy armour, wolfy helmet, wolfy backpack, wolfy boltgun, wolfy chainsword, wolfy pendant, wolfy boltpistol, wolfy pelts, wolfy cape, wolfy undergarments and wolfy chequebook and pen.
And his name shall be Wolfy McWolf, of the Clan of the Wolf, raised by wolves on the wolfy peninsular of the wolfy side of the wolfy continent, in the west of Fenris.
Have I broke the wolfy post record yet?

Everyone on Fenris looks like Wolverine. It gets confusing for the postman. In the WD it also shows the Abrakhan guard for LoTR. They look like Arabian Nights meets plenty of pork pies, and an extra burger with a pizza on top. Actually I like it! I just wish someone would make limited edition fat Cadians. I would make a whole Conscipt platoon of fat Cadians! Edit: There they are with the Golden King of Harad. Fully veiled fat blokes, anyone?
