Specifically, it stated that the Blood Angels seemed to ignore the Necrons while they tended to their wounded and recovered the gene-seed from the fallen.
By the time any back-up would have arrived, or the BA would've been in a position to launch an assault, the Necrons could have been long-gone--seeing as how they're raiders that make the Dark Eldar, Alpha Legion and the Night Lords look like amateurs.

Got me beat there, I got nothing.

Still, Chaos Sisters wouldn't be that bad of an idea.

Or Furious Charge? That works very well with jump infantry's extra movement.

Why don't you do a chaos Imperial Guard army being lead by a single chaos sister?

Say that you can have two versions of Seraphim. One has twin flamer pistols. One has sword and board.

There are so many cool ways that the Sisters could be expanded, goddamn.

Damn I hate this thread. Now I want winged angel assault Seraphim.

... feth it, you mean like Grey Knights, period?

Well, that's one of those weird things.

Grey Knights, yes, are heavily an elite force. There's no Scouts to get in the way there.

It seems like the Grey Knight Terminator squads are just the ones that have more psychic potential and are equipped differently than the rest.

pretre wrote:Super elite!

I mean, Space Marines are elite right, so Vanguard/Sternguard are EliteSquared. Same thing works for Seraphim

I'm not 100% sure about that. Vanguard/Sternguard are just veterans, given better weaponry and a bit more freedom in how they operate.

A better way to have "elite" Seraphim?
Standard Seraphim gear(power armor, jump packs) but with access to things like Inferno Pistols, Power Stakes, etc.

Only if Power Stakes didn't suck.

Also, I dunno... I'm really attracted to the idea of power spears. Perhaps it's from using one for far too long on DoW2's Last Stand.

I didn't say it would be a good unit, damnit!

I mean, the one time I've attempted to make my own custom unit I got told I overcosted everything.

Sisters can't currently even take power stakes.

The problem is only cost. It's just a 2H PW that wounds psykers on a 2+. For 10 pts it would be a deal.

See, I just like the idea of Sisters being the only army that can potentially field "ranked" units ala WHFB.

Units of Sisters armed with Power Spears bracing the spears against the ground or the Immolator parked behind them to receive a charge from a tide of mutants and heretics?

Friggin' awesome mental image.

Any Sister wielding a power spear is able to attack in the close combat phase as long as they're within four inches of an enemy model, though to be attacked they must be within 2 inches.

ooooh. Ranked units. Have to have some sort of template resistance or you'd get massacred. Either that or make it cost/tactically effective. to sacrifice yourself like that.

Stab them for the Emperor!

Power Spears should also give them counter attack. Chances are your going to be able to hit someone with a spear before they can get up close to you.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I had a double post, but when I edited the one, the other got deleted

Khorne Sisters come when there is plastic.

I have a Seraphim model I am planning on turning into a Lord with a Daemon weapon and wings, no mark decided yet. Blissgiver is my favorite D-weapon though.


People be ignoreing Chaos Sisters, so I will start helping and contributing to the boring, Un-Chaos sisters, who do not have as much fun as their converted brethren. I'll go get my sisters book now.

Okay so we're adding

Paladines - Winged Seraphim Assault Sisters
Stabatines - Stabby Power Stake Ranked Sisters.

Throw in 35 pt rhinos and a couple special characters and I'm sold.

Oh and I want Redemptionists back.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
With all their standing back up glory.

Yes, Redemptionist should come back.
Does anyone know where I can go find their rules?

They don't exist anymore.

The last incarnation was called Zealots and was unimpressive. I think I found it on Scribd.

Power spears/ rank and file sounds more Grey Knights than sisters to me, to tell the truth.

My own version of Zealots isn't really intended to be Red Redemptionists. I'm actually considering adding a 0-1 special choice for Red Redemptionists, as a variation on Zealots.

Slarg232 wrote:YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I had a double post, but when I edited the one, the other got deleted

If you want you can pm about your chaos sister ideas. I'll be more then glad to talk about it.

As for your double posts. It's best not to edit them at first. Just leave them be and they will usually fix themselves.

Not really. They use force weapons that allow them to focus their psychic powers.

Totally different than power weapons.

Although, a sword/board unit there that is made up of what are essentially Chaplains with Librarian powers in Grey?

Yeah. That'd be awesome. Totally not overpowered too
Intended @ Slarg about Grey Knights.

Slarg232 wrote:Power spears/ rank and file sounds more Grey Knights than sisters to me, to tell the truth.

Grey Knights use halberds not spears.

Most recent Zealot rules
Zealots - 5pts each, 10 pt upgrade char. 10-20 Models

Can't be joined by anything except a priest and can't use vehicles.

Can buy guns (WHY?)
1 in 5 can get upgraded to 2 attacks (5 pts) and get an eviscerator for 15

They can get 1 shot exterminators for 3pts each. (Extra hits at Init 8 based on squad size)

Any negatives to Leadership count as bonuses. Even things like Pariahs and Weaken Resolve.

Upgrade Char can buy 25 pts of Wargear (so now up to 5 hidden eviscerators in the squad, 6 if you put in a priest).

Not true.

They use "force weapons". The current incarnation has them using halberds, but they've also had swords, hammers, axes, etc.

That the rules for zealots. I want the rules for Redemptionist.

There are none.

Although I would go with those Zealot rules and add FNP/Faithfu, up them to 7 ptsl and call it a day.

But they are still weapons with long handles, and GK are more "backs to the wall" than sisters, so it would make more sense to have them have a Rank and File rule over the sisters.

My medieval is a little rusty, but Aren't halberds used to receive charges, more so than spears?

I have yet to see one with a spear though.
My point is that sisters with spear does not equal Grey Knight look a like.

Slarg232 wrote:Power spears/ rank and file sounds more Grey Knights than sisters to me, to tell the truth.

Why?

Actually it makes more sense for sisters because there are more Sisters in the first place... and therefor they could create a better spear wall and have more need for coordination within a squad...
