Codex: Imperial Agents – Sisters HO!
More breadcrumbs on the upcoming codex are being dropped. Take a look at the latest:
via GW 12-5-2016
“Next week, they get much needed aid, in the form of Codex: Imperial Agents.
This is a book that compiles together loads of specialist forces that commonly operate alongside other armies within the Imperium – including agents from the Inquisition, Officio Assassinorum, Deathwatch, Grey Knights, Adepta Sororitas, Cult Mechanicus, Adeptus Astra Telepathica, Aeronautica Imperialis, and even the Legion of the Damned.
…this will not replace existing printed codexes for the Deathwatch or Grey Knights – this just means that, if you want to add a small strike force of Elite Space Marines to your Imperial army (perhaps requisitioned by an Inquisitor, or high ranking officer), this book makes it easy for you to do so.
…To further represent the unique nature of the Ordos (and a lot of the fiction featuring these mysterious individuals) Inquisitors can now go to battle with a squad of elite power-armoured warriors appropriate to their specialisation: Grey Knights for the Ordo Malleus, Deathwatch for the Ordo Xenos or Battle Sisters for the Ordo Hereticus, they still keep their acolytes, general hangers-on and space-oranguatan-mechanics.”
So we have confirmation the book is coming next week and that the Sisters are in it (plus Jokearo – YAY). We are having quite a December here with 2 codexes and counting getting released before Christmas. The mention of alternative smaller strike forces of Grey Knights and Deathwatch is interesting. This feels like it’s going to be a grimdark version of the old Dogs of War supplement for Warhammer Fantasy – with a ton of teensy extra add-ons for your Imperial Army.
Hey GW, I’m expecting a Xenos/Mercs version of this as well one of these days #Krootmercsreturn You can’t just give Imperial players all the love.
Here’s the previous info on the codex:

“December also sees more books on the way that all Chaos Space Marine and Imperial commanders should immediately be adding to their Gift Lists. We’ll have more details on all of these for you soon, but for the moment, here’s a tantalising glimpse into the covers of the future:”

A text description of the codex that reads a lot like a retailer product description:
“IMPERIAL AGENTS
Loyal sons and daughters of the Imperium take heart, as whilst the Ruinous Powers may seek to be in ascendance as the year wanes, the God-Emperor’s most righteous agents stalk the stars ready to enact his will.
Codex: Imperial Agents contains nine subfactions of the Imperial war-machine, from agents of the Inquisition to Wyrdvane Psykers of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica to reinforce your armies of the Imperium. After all, Deathwatch Kill Teams and Imperial Assassins are just as likely to be found working alongside regiments of the Astra MIlitarum or Space Marine strike forces as they are working by themselves, giving the Armies of the Imperium increased tactical choice and scope to conquer any foe.
Within this volume you’ll find background and rules for using nine smaller factions alongside your existing armies of the Imperium, from the Grey Knight Terminator squads to the BATTLE SISTERS OF THE ADEPTA SORORITAS.Followed by:
Advertisement“Well, as it says to hold 9 factions, it’s hard to think of 9 imperial subfactions without the GK or SoB in that list. The most obvious 8 would be, considering the text:
Deathwatch
Assassins
Grey Knights
Sisters of Battle
Sisters of Silence
Custodes
Inquisition
Adeptus Astra Telepathica
~Have at it.
