It has gone through many changes (seraphim, no seraphim, Dominons, no Dominons) and although it's a one-trick pony looking GT list (last year I brought the 10 land speeder "Cheddarwing" list to the Baltimore GT), I like the element of surprise with the assassins and the number of no armour save hand to hand options (and I agree with the BoLS article on DCA - I think a mass of them with the Callidus should be able to do some damage in hand to hand, and give my sisters time to move up). I know the feeling on 3 Exorcists, but I really like the models and I have 'em now, so why not? Besides, given the low model count here, I'm gonna need some fire suppression/fire magnets to get my girls up. The callidus "Word in your ear" may give me a nice target for the assassins/exorcists to exploit, and the pop out and no save element could be cool too. I'm dropping my 6 seraphim for the extra stuff on the Inquisitor and one of the DC Assassins, but I just haven't had the luck I want with just 6, and the load out with the rest of the army doesn't give me much wiggle room. Celestine is there 'cause I like the model and she's kinda cool as well. I don't think I do, but I could bring more sisters by dropping the rhinos or DC Assassins. So there you have it - any thoughts on composition, tactics, too cheesy?

Jason

Both HQ's suck.

It's a very one trick pony list.

Cheesy? This? lol

Saint Celestine is very expensive for what she does. I don't have the WH codex, so I'm just looking at army builder... maybe she has some great rules that are only in the codex or something.

I would NOT call this list cheesy. Sisters are not an easy army to play, and you have a pretty low model count considering the cheapness of your base troops.

Honestly, I would lose celestine for another basic sisters squad. Otherwise, looks like a solid SOB list, but I don't think you are going to get any cheesy comments unless you roll a lot of 6s with those exorcists.

For a GT list it seems like you will have problem with scoring units at the end of the game. Exorcists are relatively easy to kill and squads of 10 won't soak up much damage either. I guess it's hoping you manage to kill every enemy unit for a win.

So which one is Uma Thurman?

Celestine is usually not worth it, but I think she's a great fit for this list. By the time she dies her first death, you should already have popped the Faith acts that matter.

Do you have a plan for your Inq Lord and his ret? The config you have doesn't make sense to me. Familiars + PW suggests CC (a bad idea to begin with), but you have HB servitors in the mix as well? I don't get it. Why not just use a BoLS-pattern ret?

See, the Inq is my problem - I'm forced to bring him to bring the 6 DCA (and thanks for the feedback, Stelek - very helpful!) and the callidus - I'm really not that worried about him otherwise. I don't really have the points to load out the Inq with the 3rd HB servitor that I was wanting (although I could lose the power weapon and the two familiars to come up with it). In fact, if I drop the HB servitors and power weapon and and take one familiar, drop the Rhino and one DCA, I can bring in a squad of 5 seraphim as well.

I really want to try and bring 6 DCA and the callidus (haven't seen it before and it'll be a challenege to play, which I like). I want to bring Celestine only because I really like my winged conversion (pride comes before pragmatism once again!) and I want to try her out. I want to bring 3 Exorcists cause I like the models and 3 should help out the otherwise non-existent AT/Anti-MEQ shots

So....given those constraints, I guess the question for the group is, what else do I bring? Do I lose the rhinos for another SOB squad and make the changes to bring the seraphim? I think the mobility will be important with the template weapons, and I'll get chewed up walking across the table (even with run I may be in trouble). I'm just curious what some of the vet WH players would do or think of the constraints I've listed...

I know you need the Inq. My question is why you've geared him up that way. Honestly, if you don't see a need for or can't get the the points for a tri-HB ret, you're better off giving him Hood (and maybe Excruciators) and 3 Familiars and just hiding him the whole game. It'll make him 80-odd points of doing nothing, combat-wise, but that's better than the almost 200 points of dying uselessly that you currently have.

Really though, you're mistaken if you think the 3-HB ret will cost more than what you currently have. Look:

Inq Lord: hood, bolter, carapace
1 Acolyte: bolter, carapace
3 HB servitors
2 Chirugeons

Total: 186 pts.

I would add a second Acolyte, which would push the ret up to 201 points, but that's not necessary.
