Re: [BTSS] SOB attention by GW

Yes, I believe the Sisters are a throwaway to sell more White Dwarfs. The investment is minimal for GW-- they are printing the mag anyway-- so if putting in a bit of Sisters content helps clear out the metal inventory there is really no downside for them.

That may change if there is eventually a plastic release post-6th edition launch, but for now, it is all we are likely to get.

I am somewhat happy with any attention, I guess. I was really disappointed when the Battle Missions book came out with absolutely zero Sisters content.
