Sister of Battle (oldschool-ish style)

[catherea]

After about a decade of being on and off with the minis, I finally got a Sororitas squad and a Cadian shock troop squad. I started with the Sister Superior from the Sororitas squad, and will finish out her squad. I am glad to have a basis for an Imperium combined front in the works and I plan to update as I finish the minis over time! Anyways, Sister Superior and two Leman Russ tanks on the line.

I don't plan to play the tabletop, I just want to build the minis and have fun painting

[soraka-in-warhammer40k]

Not exactly a surprise here - except maybe that it now promotes just sending in a first wave of stuff in to die to generate you more Miracle dice. Wouldn't be surprised if every list took a bunch of Mortifiers and Penitence Engines with the clear purpose of have them run in first and die.

The army rule is a lot more interesting:

It rewards people from taking BIG squads. Imagine both bonus perks active on a squad of 9 sisters, and the only ones that died were the ones that did not carry any sort of special weapons.

Meltas potentially hitting on 2s and wounding on 2s sounds really strong. These units will pack a punch when at low health, and I feel like it's a scenario of "you better focus fire that unit down or else it will come bite you in the butt" like it is with Necrons.

Sisters as an army is like "ALRIGHT HIT ME, COMEON HIT ME! SHOOT ME ALREADY YOU HERETIC!", and the presented stratagem is fitting right into it.

Using this exactly when "Blood of Martyrs" activates can definetly screw over a lot of things.

[doolallymagpie]

it’s a bit rough for sisters of other orders, being on argos cincinnatus v, nyfarra, or randsome’s folly; do the gals here ever sleep?

(are they building a frelling titan in the convent basement again?)

song is the freya catherine cover of “we all lift together”, with some industrial ambience added and filtered to sound like it’s coming from another room

In about 9 and a half hours:

My Adepta Sororitas army is going up against the Adeptus Custodies in one of the two first 10th edition games at our LGC.

Neither of us will know what the hell we're doing, I've got 5 time his model count, and have changed my list drastically from 9th edition.

Stay tuned to the clusterfuck that will be that battle report.

Ex-Chapter Master Ajax Aleghri gets a parakeet after losing his owl during the destruction of Baal.

Edit: totally forgot to tag the OC’s creator, my wife @valhallasoutlaw. the two Astartes are hers (Ajax and Tertius) and Delphine is my Adepta Sororitas OC. Jens does great art of them all so go check it out :)

[butchbattlesister]

I want to start uploading battle reports for a crusade I’m playing at my local game store! Partially to keep my momentum up and to get more into the 40K community here!! …. I’m tired of reddit.

————————————————————————

Game 1 - 750 pts - Mission: Scattered Supplies

Adepta Sororitas vs Death Guard

20 - 30

Unfortunately starting out with a loss but it was an overall fun game! I pushed hard in the first half but my experienced partner was helping my new opponent to beat my ass. >:(

————————————————————————

Game 2 - 750 pts - Mission: Secure the Tunnels

Adepta Sororitas vs Tau

50 - 50

A very, very fun tie where both of us left happy and satisfied!! My opponent was very nice, he had a background in the tournament scene but was looking for some more casual play. This mission would have been a great one for sisters if I had a higher point count. We are playing two games at 750, four at 1000, four at 1500, and four at 2000. I know it’s not how the official crusade rules but I’ve been really liking the weekly matched games.

————————————————————————

Game 3 - 1000 pts - Mission: Deference Nexus

Adepta Sororitas vs Tyranids

30 - 45

Bruh I lost so BAD. I really learned a lot about hoard armies in this game and I over prepared for psychic push back. I still felt like it was worthwhile but I was not proud of how I played.

————————————————————————

Game 4 - 1000 pts - Mission: I don’t remember but it was a weird diagonal corner deployment

Adepta Sororitas vs ORKZ

80 - 15

First sisters win!! FOR THE EMPEROR! This was such a fun game not because I won, I promise it felt much closer than the score my reflect. My opponent was so nice, every orkz player is so kind and just there to have a good time and he was no exception! He told me he had some old metal sisters from 2nd edition he might finally go back to working on after learning how cool they are in 10th edition! I even bought a Kommandos kill team off of him!

————————————————————————

Game 5 - 1000 pts - Mission: Polarizing Energies

Adepta Sororitas vs Dark Angels

55 - 25

Little winning streak? This week we were doing in-fighting matches! There are sooo many Dark Angels in this crusade because of the new supplement but it’s not aiding them too much. Oh dude bros, they will never cease underestimating femme players and sisters as an army then be salty!!

————————————————————————

NEXT WEEK….. more nids!

Warhammer 40,000 Adepta Sororitas Changes for June 20, 2024

The additional faction post was getting monstrous, so I'm just going to give each faction their own post. It's genuinely impressive just how many changes and clarifications GW has made for this new season.

Sisters have been running fairly strong since the beginning of the edition, often skating by with a good win rate but not so good as to demand nerfs. Their Index was filled with powerful rules balanced out by relatively weak datasheets. Combined with fantastic looking minis that are still relatively new, this had lead to an increase of Sisters players overtime. Currently, Stat Check has them sitting pretty at a 53% win rate with 7% player representation. Still they've only had 2 major event wins since the last balance pass, indicating that Sisters may struggle against more powerful factions played by their best players.

Now their Codex has dropped and their rules are arguably even more powerful. Josh and Kenny mentioned that there might be a few nerfs considering the increased power in the Codex, but I'm not expecting to see anything in the Dataslate itself.

And yep. Just a big ol' "None."

They did get some FAQs and Errata. Suffering and Sacrifice got fixed to only effecting models in range, not units. Miracle dice have been confirmed to be useable on re-rolls and aren't kept when you re-roll a roll (such as trying to re-roll a 1 for your second die on a charge roll.) Relics of Matriarchs has also been confirmed to not allow you to substitute two dice in a roll. I don't know who was trying to claim that you don't gain Miracle dice until the end of the phase, but GW has confirmed it's when the unit is destroyed. All and all this just fixes the one obvious exploit in the Codex and clarifies a few miracle dice mechanics.

But the MFM is a different story. That is a lot of red.

We also have a new color here. The header for the Army of Faith enhancements is orange. I guess this is the color to call attention to changes while noting there are both nerfs and buffs. The sole buff to the Codex is here, with Litanies of Faith going down to 10 points.

But these are nerfs from the Codex point values of course. Pre-Codex is a much different story. First, a little good news. Arco-flagellants have actually dropped a pts per model and the Mantle of Ophelia and Saintly Example are at their pre-codex pts. By contrast Dominions and Paragon Warsuits have actually both gone up in pts despite being grey. Some of these are significant changes from their pre-codex values. Many of these units have increased by 50% or more! So while Sisters have strong new rules, they're going to be starting with way less army using them. Honestly I'll be surprised if we don't see Sisters fall a bit in the ranking from how big these points changes are.

A Warhammer 40K FanFic

Author's note: This is strictly for fun. I have my Warhammer-loving husband proofread and edit my chapters. If he says it is good, then it's good by the only person's standards I wish to meet. Lyra and Reid are our own characters based on us.

Chapter 1: Survivors

Roars and harsh scraping of metal erupted through the blood-red, dusty sky as a large number of grotesque soldiers clad in light armor, welding guns, and blades rushed the wide-open field littered with corpses and debris from an excruciatingly long battle. Blood pumped adrenaline into the opposing Adeptas Sororitas donned in power armor as she stared the enemy in the face, pulling the trigger on her bolt pistol and taking out what man she could. If she was going down, she was taking as many as she could with her. It was not until a split second later that she noticed movement several feet away on her side of the battlefield. Cutting her eyes, she saw it was an Imperial Guardsman, but she could not tell what condition he was in. All she could see from where she stood was a soldier whose olive-green trench coat was caked in blood whether it was his own or the enemy. Regardless, if he was still moving, he could still fight.

In a quick dash, she moved to her allies’ side giving him enough cover fire to get on his feet. It was as if he was bestowed a blessing he did not deserve as he stared up at her for a brief moment through his gas mask. It was clear what had happened now as he looked around at the massacre. Their entire squad was obliterated and they were the last two survivors. The Kriegsman jumped to his feet, snatched his lasrifle from the ground, and took aim. One, two, five, several men shot and downed but it still was not enough for them to back off. The woman noticed one of the opposing Ogryns ready his grenade launcher and the only thing she could think of was to grab ahold of the Kriegsman next to her and yank him out of the way behind some rubble. It gave them a moment to reload and reassess their options.

“Glad to see at least I am not alone in this,” she spoke boldly. “I know your reputation, Kriegsman, but do try to stay alive.”

The man looked at her and took a deep breath reloading his gun. “As you command, sister,” he responded almost regrettably with a curt nod. “I will fight with you ‘til my last breath.”

Once the break in the enemy’s fire had come, the Kriegsman and Sister rushed from behind the rubble and unloaded upon them once more. They could not make any advances and they could not really retreat. An attempt was made to contact the ship or anyone for that matter, but there was never a response. It was an assumption that the coms ceased to work or there was too much interference.

The Kriegsman noticed a body with grenades still present just a few feet away and decided to make a break for it. The sister covered him as he did but ducked covering her head from another explosion. Managing to grab them, he rushed forward pulling the pins and tossing the whole belt as hard as he could. They flew through the air until they landed at the feet of the army exploding on impact and taking a massive chunk out of their line. Then it made its presence known. The huge suit of unholy power armor covered in blood moved through the army, a giant chainaxe in one hand, heretical combi-bolter in the other. For two people, it seemed a bit excessive for a Chaos Lord to present himself, but it was just their luck it seemed. They could not defeat that. There was no way to defeat that. Their fate might as well have been sealed but that did not mean they would stop trying. Cowardice did not know a place within the imperium of man. If it did, it was killed swiftly.

“KRIEGSMAN! GET BACK HERE NOW!”

There was no response, only a frozen man unable to move. At first, she thought he might have been frozen with fear and truthfully, she did not blame him. It was a logical and human response. Though Kriegsmen were known to be fearless, maybe this was a moment of truth to see just how fearless they really were when no one else was around.

The giant took many large steps toward the pair, closing the gap rather quickly until he was within arm's reach. He raised his blade ready to slice the man who swore to fight with her but then, nothing. The Kriegsman raised his fist and extended his fingers as if flicking water off his glove. A hole had blown straight through the Chaos Lord's armor and body so effortlessly that gore was strewn about the battlefield in an instant. The moment this gargantuan being fell over, the rest of the army turned tail and ran as fast as they could in utter fear as their champion fell. The Chaos Lord’s body exploded with empyrical energy, the explosion blowing the Kriegsman several feet away and into some metal rubble. The sister had no idea just what she had witnessed but it was certainly the work of the divine and maybe her prayers had been answered. He had fought until his last breath just as he had said and she was the last one standing, or so she thought. Out of reflex, she ran to him sliding across the mud and muck as he lay limp against the metal supporting him. His leg had been blown clean off at his knee, his mask had taken extreme damage resulting in the left side of his face terribly injured, and he was lucky he had a chest plate to protect his most vital organs. Those were the only obvious and noticeable injuries.

Leaning in, she felt for his pulse and was surprised he still had one after all that but his breathing was very shallow. The sister grabbed him, pulling him up into her arms to carry him to a much safer location to treat him. She could have left him to die, but if he was meant to die he would have been killed outright by that monster. Something was special about him and she was not going to let that be snuffed out so hastily.

After getting him to safety, she leaned him against the shelter’s wall and checked his pulse and breathing once more. He was still hanging on. She looked him over before taking some of the cloth from her garb to wrap tightly around his bleeding leg to slow the flow of blood.

“S- I- Lyr-” static came over her coms. “Sist– Come i-”

The sister opened her coms and began talking, whether they could hear her or not. “I’m here. This is Sister Lyra.”

There was still static but obviously, someone was trying to come through until the signal cleared. “Sister Lyra, this is Moz do you read?”

“Yes, Moz! Thank the emperor. I’m here. A guardsman and I are in dire need of your retrieval.”

“Understood. Send me your coordinates so that I may find you.”

Lyra leaned back for a moment and sent a signal to the pilot, Moz. “I sent them. Please, be quick about it. I need medical, immediately.”

She turned her attention back to the man in front of her and he was still unmoving. His chest rose and fell ever so slightly. Maybe if she just removed the mask, she could monitor him better. Lyra reached over and went to tug on his gas mask only for her wrist to be snatched in a panic. A single eye stared at her before realizing who she was and hesitantly let go of her wrist. Lyra pulled his mask off, tossing it aside for the moment. His face was nearly non-existent on the left as blood poured all over him as it was the only thing keeping his face intact. Taking yet another piece of cloth, she wrapped his head to stop the bleeding and keep what flesh on the left side together as she could. He hissed in discomfort but stayed still as she tended to him. He looked down at his leg noticing that it had been removed then felt the autogun wounds and bruises on his arms when he tried to move. He looked up at her curiously and she knew what he wanted to ask.

“How-” he started. “Sister, just leave me. I can be of no use to you. I'm sure I'll be disposed of once we're back on the ship…I didn't serve my purpose.”

“Pilot Moz is coming, you’ll be taken care of, and you’re going to live whether you like it or not. Do you understand?” she replied curtly.

Looking slightly taken aback by her tone, he agreed with a grumble. “Yes, ma’am.”

“You served your purpose. I don’t know what happened, exactly, but one second you were frozen solid and the next the beast was dead. I believe you were touched. That means you still have a fight left in you, and you're meant to live. So throw a fit, kick, and scream, whatever you like, you’re alive until further notice. What’s your number? Or.. name if you have one. Do Kriegsmen have names in the 83rd regiment?”

The man shifted and sighed. It certainly was not exactly what he wanted to hear but at least he did her a great service by keeping her safe with whatever he did. He could not remember.

“Reid Caldwell…Might I know yours, Sister?”

“Lyra Mickeal.”

The sound of a carrier hummed and shook the ground as it landed nearby. Two veterans left the ship to assist the pair returning to the ship as quickly as possible. As soon as they had returned to the ship, the Kriegsman was taken away for medical treatment following Lyra's orders and she was left writing the report noting every last detail of their mission and the disaster that had followed.

Gender and Warhammer 40,000

Look I’m sorry. It’s been a long time since I’ve played 40K but I still find the setting really interesting and also I have *opinions* (also I’m thinking it could be fun to play some Dark Heresy).

Dudes who play 40K love to point out that there can’t be any space marine women (they say female space marines) because of how you can only have like eight livers and two hearts if you’ve got XY chromosomes or something. Anyway it’s really difficult reading about this stuff because every post about it has this energy.

So why aren’t there space marine women? There were, back in 1st edition, this post from Bell of Lost Souls includes two models that were released of space marine women and talks about how retailers asked GW to stop sending them because they couldn’t sell them to their players, who in the 80′s were mostly men. As far as I can tell the stuff about only men being able to survive the space marine making process because of some chromosome rubbish was just post-facto justification for discontinuing those models.

Which is a shame because there’s a better justification. Someone on Twitter was pointing out that they’re basically children kidnapped by the Fascist empire and turned into supersoldiers. Of course the Catholic Fascist space Empire isn’t making space marine women. I think it’s pretty clear that the space marines were initially intended as a pastiche of Thatcherite militarism, just like Judge Dredd. In the Rogue Trader they’re depicted as thuggish, inhuman instruments of the state.

I also feel like there’s something about English boys’ public schools going on here. I’m not from the UK so I’m not sure I can quite make sense of it but there was a decision made to have the punk hive-ganger’s butt be really prominent in the image.

There aren’t women space marines for the same reason there weren’t women in the Sturmabteilung. Military organisations in Fascist states serve a double purpose, they don’t just fight, they also serve as propaganda. It’s clear from most 40K imagery and fiction that the image of the space marine is meant to communicate the strength of the Imperium. Imperial propaganda calls the Imperial Guard “the anvil” and the Adeptus Astartes “the hammer” in an empire that seems fixated on hammers, in a game that is largely about hammers (it’s called Warhammer).

But here’s the interesting bit, the image of the space marine *also* communicates the Imperium’s ideas about the role of men. The figure of the space marine represents the glorification of toxic masculinity, not just because it depicts men as warriors and protectors who are inherently violent, but also because these are men who are utterly disposable and who’s subjectivity and individualism have been completely erased for the sole purpose of making war. The primary role of a space marine apothecary isn’t to heal wounded marines, it’s to ensure that their gene-seed is harvested at the point of death so they can make more marines. It doesn’t matter that space marines die, only that hyper-masculine bodies can continue to make war.

I can imagine some Imperial Guard recruitment poster with a picture of a space marine saying “They put their bodies on the line to protect the Imperium, and you should too! Join the Imperial Guard!”

But, if we’re going to talk about what ideas the Imperium wants to engender about women, we need to talk about everyone’s favourite nuns with guns.

Okay that image probably doesn’t communicate what I’m trying to say but I had to include it, here’s Saint Celestine.

So the Adepta Sororitas, actualy first here’s a Reddit post with an extract from a Rogue Trader scenario including a chapter of space marine women called The Little Sisters of Purification (you know they’re carrying a lot of flamers). This is interesting because while Astartes are technically supposed to be monastic, their imagery (with the exception of the Dark Angels, and in that case the major theme is HERESY) rarely leans on that aspect. From the start, the Imperium’s women warriors have been explicitly coded as nuns.

The themes that come through with the sisters of battle are things like purity, innocence, piety, faith, martyrdom. They have a propaganda role, like the space marines do, but it’s a different message. While the Astartes’ singular military role communicates the idea that men are only good for violence, the Sororitas fill a bunch of different roles, the order hospitaller provides medical aid to Imperial citizens, the order dialogous are diplomats, and the order famulous are scholars. This communicates that the role of women in Imperial society is more diverse, and less dispensable, an idea that’s probably reinforced by the various orders’ integration into Imperial society. Sisters would be a much more familiar sight to Imperial citizens than marines, who are largely aloof on their fortress-monasteries. It’s likely that most Imperial citizens would be much more shocked by the idea of the nurse-nun they go to see every few months being killed than some armoured super-human with no personality other than anger who they’ve never met.

And that’s where the idea of martyrdom comes in. Toxic masculinity says that women must be protected, by men, because they’re not dispensable in the way men are. The Emperor, in all his masculine wisdom, will not countenance women to be killed in his grimdark future of only war, so Sisters of Battle aren’t killed, they’re martyred, and often when they are He brings them back in the form of living saints (See Saint Celestine, above). There are no resurrected space marines because the Imperium treats men’s bodies as expendable, and women’s bodies as sacred.

And then there’s the whole purity and innocence thing. Sosoritas are obedient to the one man in their life (Him on the Golden Throne). They take vows of chastity, they spend most of their time in prayer, they’re probably the faction in the game with the most number of abilities based around faith, piety and purity (I didn’t count or anything, but I think it’s a safe assumption). They play a propaganda role to demonstrate to Imperial citizens what a woman should be like, and also how men should enlist to protect them.

So when I see people modding their space marine armies to include women space marines I end up in two minds. On the one hand it makes me happy because it’s clear that it’s going to upset guys who are invested in the idea that women are inherently weak, but at the same time I worry that they’ve missed the bit where this is a sexist Fascist Empire and maybe they’re thinking the space marines are the good guys.

On the other hand, often when this topic comes up, people mention that the records of two of the 20 primarchs are expunged from all records. I kind of like the idea that while the Imperium still keeps records of the traitor primarchs, it’s the idea that there were two women primarchs that’s so horrific to the Imperium’s scribes that they had to destroy all records of them.

[blizz4rd12033333333333]

proposition:

the only REAL argument i've heard against astartes women is that the adepta sororitas is supposed to be a female counterpart to them

and on PAPER it sounds alright, but in REALITY it's hard to take seriously since the sisters of battle look like. . . that

so

an idea

make the sisters of battle much more space mariney. get rid of the stupid dominatrix aesthetic, get them some gene editing, and make their power-armor a lot less skintight

to counteract making them too visually similar to space marines, go absolutely overboard with the religious imagery. i'm talking, like, pipe organs in their powerpacks, halos and wings absolutely everywhere, just fucking go ham

for the sake of, like, maintaining overall levels of horniness, just, like. i dunno. make some sexy space marines or admech or something

maybe make a firstborn/primaris split between modified and unmodified battle sisters

being honest i kinda just zoned out thinking about how to kitbash a sister of battle into a dark angel suit

You could legitimately do this with some space marine models. You take some older marines and slip them into sisters bits and you've got legitimate girlmarines.

Design-wise I think they should keep most of the shapes they've got going on, just make them bigger. Instead of form-fitting power armor give them armor that accentuates the prominent shapes. Less latex bodysuit more purpose-build plate armor.

Take the space marine judicar for example

His armor flows around him, making the shapes of his shins and chest more prominent, while not sacrificing the fact that he's Wearing Armor. Give the sisters that luxury. (Keep their pauldrons the same tho sisters would look dumb with marine shoulders)

Lore-wise I think they should be part of the same program as the primaris marines. The same "we need to find more ways to move forward with what there is and make new things out of it" mentality. Let them be a little bigger, a little more presence, a little disliked by the old sisters. Give them some new weapons, some new modifications, some more pipes. Give them an extra wound too.

[mootmead]

Is there something I missed for the new Kill Team edition ? There is actually no Adepta Sororita besides the Novitiates and no Orks besides the Kommando ? The main base of these factions are actually not supported outside of these two very specific kill teams ?

[hooliganpaints]

Welp, with the release of the September slate, GW did the thing they said they were gonna do and made the app locked behind WH+.

I don't know about y'all, but I, for one, am what the kids call "broke as shit", so instead of paying for another subscription I don't really need, I just decided to update the old points calculator I made a few months ago.

You can find it below:

This should be fully updated with the 9.7.23 dataslate, but let me know if you have any issues using it or any suggestions to improve it.

Cheers!

[soraka-in-warhammer40k]

Who's up next for a refresh?

Now that the Nids got their ancient kits modernized, I decided to check on all the factions over at the Lexicanum that had no relevant releases over the last years.

Of course 99% of Space Marines disqualifies by default. Their minis might be the aesthetical equivalent of drywall, but that doesn't change the fact that they at least got something. Unlike, ya know, Grey Knights, who since 2011 have gotten TWO CHARACTERS and that's it. If anyone would be due for a makeover on the imperial side it would be them, but given how for over a decade GW has tried their best to pretend the faction does not exist I doubt they will get anything. So onwards to the other factions:

Adeptas Sororitas: Got re-released as a faction in 8th, and got a whole bunch of stuff in 9th. Not likely to get a refresh anywhere.

Adeptus Custodes: Also released in 8th with an miniscule model range. How these guys qualify as an army faction and not a variant of Agents is beyond me. Might get some stuff, but no refreshes.

Astra Militarum: Literally just got an update towards the end of 9th, but there's probably a lot of older stuff that need redoing. Likely to get a bone when their codex drops but nothing massive.

Heretic Astartes: Got a whole bunch in 8th and 9th, also not very likely to get a massive refresh.

Death Guard: Became a faction in their own right models-wise in 8th, and got some more in 9th. Too new to get some refreshes.

Thousand Sons: Released with Magnus in 7th, got a bit of stuff during 8th, and only a single token character in 9th. Nothing up there needed a refresh but rather new stuff really.

World Eaters: Released literally last year - we might get a new Kharn tho.

Chaos Demons: shares the range with AoS so no shortage of new releases on big characters and monsters, but a lot of their rank-and-file units are getting somewhat dated. Wouldn't be surprised if we got an upgrade to 2008's Bloodletters and Daemonettes.

Craftworld Eldar: Got a bit of a refesh in 9th, but I wouldn't be surprised if we also get some upgrades to their 6th edition stuff. Despite all memes not a very high priority from what I can see.

Dark Eldar: These guys are NOT having a good time. Most of their stuff is from 5th edition, and since then we have gotten a bunch of characters, two units, and a flyer - all over the course of 4 whole-ass editions. In dire need of a refresh.

Harlequins: lol. lmao even.

Genestealer Cults: fairly new, given how they only got a single character in 9th they will most likely get new stuff, but no refreshes

Leagues of Votann: Literally came out last year, same situation as World Eaters, currently waiting for their second wave.

Necrons: Got a refresh in 9th, most likely getting their 2012 and earlier characters redone this edition (Trayzin, Stormlord, Orrikan) when their codex comes out, although Camoptek-stuff and the Ghost Ark sure be showing their age.

Orks: gigantic model range. Despite solid releases every edition there's always stuff that needs to be updated.

T'au Empire: Got a bunch of stuff 8 years ago, and not much since then. 2 Killteam boxes and 3 named characters sounds like something, but when armies field models from 2001 that definetly does not help.

Overall in that list there's only three that stand out: Demons, Dark Eldar and T'au. If we look at the severety of outdated stuff, the DE should be totally up next, but my guess is that GW will tie their refresh to when the story focus jumps back to where Arks of Omen left off in the Webway. If that happens still this year, they get it first, otherwise T'au gets their Codex early 2024 which is the most likely time they will get anything.
