As I write this (at home, looking after a sick kid) SoB have been removed from the shelves of 2 stores I frequent, as have the codexes/codices(?). Usually when that happens, it means something is relatively forthcoming.
Plastic Sisters and Grey Knights, here we come!

I truly hope so hoags. But to be honest, "new product" wasn't the first thing that jumped into my mind.

well 2 possibilities on that front:
1. Inquisition is going direct only 2. stuff is being pulled off the shelf in preparation for a new release line
I want to believe that it's "2" and not "1," as there have been some pretty solid rumors surfacing about at least grey knights. It does seem suspiciously early for a product pull, though, as GK stuff isn't due out until late this year/early next year according to the rumor mill.

I heard more mutterings on Sunday about plastic GK, although they did stop short of any further info.
If the line was going direct only, why would they pull the codices too? seems a little odd, especially if you want to browse through a copy.

well, I am probably wrong as it looks.
Doing a little work on the web, Space puppies were pulled over 6 months before the new stuff came out.
That and more stuff is being pulled from the shelves(and not just stock running out as i initially thought) does point towards something in the future.

Some of that sounds pretty sweet. A lot of it sounds kinda meh.
Assault cannon landraider? really. for when you absolutely need a tool that is ok against light vehicles and ok against infantry but good against neither, call in the land raider tantalus. '
army wide furious charge is frightening
fleet scouts is also scary
prevalence of jump/flying troops is meh meh meh- have fun flying around and not being in a rhino while I light you up with a fussilade of lasgun fire.
honor guard sounds groovy w/ the deepstrike/assault move. have to see the rules and points and options to make any kind of determination, though.
