Rotary cannon and two lascannons, slight difference.

Avenger Assault Cannon actually. The Rotary Cannon is something else IIRC.

Avenger Bolt Cannon actually. The Avenger Assault Cannon doesn't exist.

Eh, close enough. The heavy stubber on the back for AA defense is the real issue, unless the DA flyer has one I'm not seeing in the pics (fortunately I have a ton of big shootas, which are close enough for me for conversion purposes.)

Also, having assembled an Exorcist, I have new-found sympathy for anyone who played this game when metal was the norm (and has me slightly wary of my All Quiet on the Martian Front models, when they arrive.)

Not having/using the stubber is not a drawback IMO. AA... Riiight

I added one to my 'avenger'.

Gluing on sisters' backpacks and Penitent Engine arms was a regular after-game ritual.

I have had opportunity to use the stubber exactly once so far and it did.. absolutely nothing. The angle of it compared with the fact you can't shoot down through the fuselage and the fact is only S4 means that it is almost never useful.

The same is true for any other Altar of War, the missions are usually set up in fashion that the army featuring them REALLY enjoys the situation.

See the "Montka" mission in farsight to see what is a real game-changing mission.
You can reserve how many units you want, you reroll reserves, on top of that your deepstrikes and outflanks gets rerolls, deployment lines are closer then usual, you are almost assured to go first (on a 2+) and you get improved precision shots (5+)
And you win by simply getting more killpoints then there were game turns, regardless on how many losses you took.
Its the most brutal and violent mission ever seen on 40k, even real killpoints pale in comparison.

That is assuming the tau do not actually get whipped from the field first. That is about the only way to really lose that mission.

On the subject of immolators, any one have good ideas for making closed turrets, not a big fan of that sister sitting on top of my tank behind a window.

The standard Razorback/Land Raider hull turret fits just fine in the front or back circular Immy mounting points. I have my Sister Rhinos set up so that I can put a turret on the front/hatch on the back for Immies, hatch on the front/missile rack on the back for Exos, or bubble on the front/hatch on the back for Rhinos. Makes it way easier to min/max my tanking needs.

Fair enough. I'll try to not post before I have caffeine next time.

So the wife wants to run DCAs and Crusaders (she likes the look), originally they were going to be with Uriah. Now i am leaning toward a priest with litanies. Should i still include Uria, or is there a better mix?

I would not include Uriah in that unit. You'll want at least one priest though and keep Uriah in a 20 sister blob about 6-9 inches behind the DCA/Crusader unit.

I am thinking of going with 4 Crusaders, 4 DCAs, 2 Priests, with Bolt Pistols and Power Mauls. One with Litanies, should i stick any Relics on the other one?

**pretre**

Are you putting them in a vehicle? Otherwise, might as well max out the DCA/Crusaders.

yeah she has a rhino she has bought all the FW doors for and has painted, main reason she is dead set on having the unit.

**pretre**

Ugh, well it is what it is then. Probably not the best unit, but should be cool.

**Nobody_Holme**

Those conclaves should REALLY get to charge from within rhinos.

Its not like the rhinos are so OP and survivable there's no way they are balanced as assault vehicles, like they used to say no way the 14/14/14 land raiders couldn't be assault veh... Oh wait.

**OutlawBandit**

Got my Condemnor Boltgun mod all fixed up. What do yall think?

I figured the Sister superior model where shes holding her bolter right out in front of her would be the easiest for any combi-weapon actually.
The crossbow is a bit from the Dark elf crossbowmen kit.

**Quo**

I like it!

Also high fives for Bloody Rose.

**pretre**

Ditto! Nicely done.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Could we get some other angles there mate?

**OutlawBandit**

Sure thing!

You could put those all in the same post and spoiler them...

But its a nice conversion.

Yes, we need an assault vehicle..... Gonna homebrew one eventually myself. Torn between simple Rhino variant and giant rolling church full of guns, probably will attempt both.

**Nobody_Holme**

No strong argument against both.

Probably a land raider variant, given they're inquisitorial types...

**Ovion**

For those of you interested, this is what I have completed so far:

Spoiler:

(Boltgun, Combi-Blank, Combi-Flamer, Storm Bolter (Combi-Bolter) and spare mags)
And once the remaining Combi weapons are done (Melta, Plasma, Comndemnor) and Sarissa are done, they will all be up for sale!

(And later still will come Bolt, HandFlamer and Inferno Pistols, aswell as all special and heavy weapons.)

**Amerikon**

Neat!

**KalashnikovMarine**

So Outlaw you just cut up a DE crossbow yes?

Ovion those look great! If we had easily convertable models, I'd buy those for every girl in my army.
