The immolator is great, don't get me wrong, I just like to have heavier stuff with greater transport capacity. Land Raiders for example.
I think Immolators are better than Razorbarks but I don't use my razorbarks to carry my 10 men tactical squads around, I use rhinos. For even more models I can use a LR, sadly it is not available in SoB so I'd need to ally Space Marines to have one.


Except land raiders are garbage unless you know it's gonna be kill points and you're going against scatterbike spam eldar and can pop the wraithknight(s) first turn. 60 points for a vehicle that can pop anything armored and force a jink by itself is great. Sisters are also sort of terrible so unless you're bringing blobs of 20 with a priest. putting 10 in a rhino is 40 points more expensive than 5 in an immo, even more if you go 9+priest. So for 40 points you gain 7-12 bolter shots but lose either a tl heavy flamer or a tl multimelta. against some list, orks with boyz coming to mind, that works but immospam is a better all-rounder.


I do not agree with anything that you have just said except one thing:

Still if I did do CAD, why not use a Redeemer over the Crusader? Those big bbq sticks can hurt a lot more then the hurricanes. And it's certainly more 'sisters style'.

I said LRC because I was talking about big transports and LRC can carry 16 models, while LRR can only carry 12 models.

Total: 2500 on the nose

That's the cheapest way I could get some assault tread for the Repentia, and I already have a Redeemer. Kinda scrapping my Sisters Thundercat Calvary idea I had for now, and thinking about converting a 'techsister' and maybe hunting 3rd party bits to mix with some scouts to make female sniper scout sisters. Figured the Repentia, Mistress, Tech'sister', and priest together will scare a lot of things coming out of the Redeemer. HKMs are there for surprise long range ways of saying 'hello' at least for a turn if the enemy if trying to stay away from all the fire and melta. And all the hulls will screen for the penitent engines to come in and wreck anything still standing.
