Report will come up later on today on how they do in the tournament this morning

You sure on those point costs?

Sister is 11 points x10 - 110
VSS is 14 points - 124
BoSL is 5 points - 129
Melta is 10 points - 139
Heavy flamer is 12 points - 151

That puts you 55 points over on the standard SoB

Glancing at some others. 5x Retributors with Heavy bolters...

Sister is 11 points x5 - 55
H Bolter is 15 points x4 - 115
VSS is 14 points - 129
Auspex is 2 points - 131
BoSL is 5 points - 136

Which is another 11 points over. I assume the second Immolator is bought for the Retributors and the first is for dominions which are costed at...

Sister is 11 points x5 - 55
VSS is 14 points - 69
Melta is 15 points x2 - 99
BoSL is 5 points - 104

I would also check the seraphim too because I have them coming in at 155 (22 each, 10 VSS, 5 BoSL, 15 IP each).

I hope you get this before the tournament starts up!

Total Points: 2109

So 109 points over.

I hope you catch your mistakes before you compete in the tournament. Tournament organizers usually ask to look over and validate army lists. However, very few of them know the Witch Hunters codex is online or it too lazy to add up the points cost.

For the record, you don't need Search Lights on everything. 1 or 2 vehicles will suffice.

Witch Hunters codex is available on GW's website in pdf format.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat440180a&categoryId=1200001§ion=&aId=9800045a (you have to be registered to GW's website to see it)

Search Lights is actually 1 point.

A Rhino with Extra Armour, Smoke Launchers, and Search Light is 59 points.

just drop the retributors and master craft one of the cannonesses weapons to make the points fit.

Retributors rarely make their points back in my experience and you have enough firepower elsewhere to manage without them

Gonna break rules on points costs, but is it breaking rules if It's a free to have codex?

cannoness base 45 + CoSA 20 + JP 20 + BoSL 5 + MB 5 + BW 30 thats 125 to my math

Battle Sister Squadron 9 Sisters 99(11 each) + VSS 14 + BoSL 5 + melta 10 + Heavy Flamer 12 thats 140 to my math again

Seraphim 4 sisters 88(22 each) + 2 IP 30(15 each) + VSS 10 + BoSL 5 thats 133 to my math

Retributors 4 sisters 44(11 each) + VSS 14 + BoSl 5 + 4x Heavy Bolters 60(15 each) + auspex 2 thats 125

The searchlights were 1 points each and mainly to make it to exactly to 2k, kinda like the auspex. I was told by the Tourney judge / Tabletop specialist of the store that sister superiors don't actually cost points I think is where our math is getting off. Thus how I'm getting my point costs since according to points and how it is the SS is free + say 9 battle sisters at 11 a pop, but I can choose to upgrade the SS to a VSS at and extra 14 points. not 11 more points for a SS and then 25 for a vss not sure on this one (Badly worded codex if you ask me).

And on to the battle report

Round 1: Started off my glorious day facing off against the Worst possible enemy ever, Chaos Demons. The army of demons consisted of

1 Lord of change
2 Daemon princes
2 squads of 5 flamers
3 squads of shooting tzeentch demons
1 defiler

Each squad has a default Sisters Superior. However, the Sister Superior cannot access the Witch Hunters armory. In order to do that, you need to upgrade the Sister Superior to a Veteran Sister Superior. The Veteran Sister Superior for Seraphim is not a 10 point model and not a 14 point model for Battle Sisters or Retributors. It's an upgrade for a current model, hence the "+10" and "+14" written in the codex. So a Veteran Sister Superior for a Seraphim costs 22 + 10 = 32 points and a Veteran Sister Superior for Retributors and Battle Sisters costs 11 + 14 = 25 points. If you still don't believe me, then read the fine print in the codex:

"The Sister Superior may be upgraded to a Veteran Sister Superior at a cost of +"<insert points value here>. No confusion here. Upgrades is a common feature in 40k. I think its either miscommunication between you and your your Tourney judge/Tabletop specialist of the store or he doesn't know the rules very well.

Furthermore, breaking rules on points cost in a tournament is called cheating. It's bad sportsmanship.

I won the roll off for initiative and deployed first. I went with the parking structure deployment with 0 knowledge on ever fighting a demon army. His deployment was to say deepstrike and the game was on. The deployment was pitched battle on dawn of war.

Turn 1: My vehicles proceeded to drive to the center of the field and make a wagon circle around the excorcists and seraphim / cannoness. His unfavoured demons decided to join the battle this time on my right flank with 3 bolts being shot at my rightmost rhino failing to even hit. The defiler lobbed a blast smashing 1 retributor and all 5 seraphim in one shot.

Turn 2: my whole army rushed off to the right moving all out except the excorcists only moving 6 to give covering fire canon and sera stayed hidden deep in the wall of iron to protect them from shots flying everywhere. Excorcists decided that it was time for the defiler to leave the field and removed it post haste with a wrecked result. other one decided to shoot a single missle at a demon prince and failed to wound. The 2 immolators and 1 front rhino popped smoke. All reinforcements of the demons decided to come in that turn and his army decided to do the clump strategy.

Turn 3: Bloodshed begins. Sisters began pouring out of rhinos to fire upon the princes and the lord of change. 1 prince took 2 wounds after saving 11 of 13 and the other prince took 1 wound after saving 6 of 7. The lord of change took 0 wounds from all of the 5 shots that actually wounded him. Canoness 1 moved into battle with 1 prince, Canoness 2 moved into battle with the other and the spirit of the martyr commenced. No wounds in melee were recorded that fight. The demons then decided they had had enough of the bolter fire. The lord of change hit all 10 sisters that got out of a rhino with the flame template killing 9 instantly (Sadly the last one decided to head for the hills). The tzeentch shooters and flamers made a run for it to try to get closer to the action.

Turn 4: Immolators start firing upon the main tzeentch minions killing 4 3 and 5 in each group respectively. The dominions hop out and attempt to bring their meltas to bear against the lord of change Failing to wound due to his wards. The cannoness decide they want to win and put both demons down to 1 wound while taking a wound each themselves only str 5 thank the emperor. The demons then counter attack with devastating flamers going and wiping out 2 sister squads and the lord of change engaging a third squad in melee killing 4 (taking 2 wounds in the process). The tzeentch shooters proceed to glance and make a rhino unable to shoot this turn. Excorcists hailing missles at flamers to try and wipe out a few.

Turn 5: 1 squad of sisters hops back in rhino and moves behind cover to ride out the battle. A squad of flamers glances both excorcists making them not shoot next turn. Canoness decide the battle is over the BW one (General) taking another wound but killing her prince and the eviscerator one just flat out destroying her prince. Brace myself for death of both HQ's. Demons see 2 HQ's in the open and all 3 tzeentch squads open fire on my general. Miracously the emperor interveened and she survived taking 12 wounds with no failed armor saves. The sisters in combat with the lord of change also found their faith in the emperor and took no wounds from him in the continuing combat (Spirit of the martyr = OP)

Turn 6: Against my wishes the battle continued and My canoness decided to join the battle against the lord while my 2nd in command went to stop the flamers. The remaining rhinos ran for cover as well as my excos taking potshots as they left. Evis canon held off during first assault but died heroicly to the last flamer standing in the end of the demons assault. General with 1 wound left brought the lord of change to 1 wound while the sisters survived another unwounded combat against him yet he held his ground and survived in the end also. Demons chased after the vehicles potshot at a few and failed to do anything at the end.

THe victory went to the demons what with my armies 18 walking VP on the board vs their 9? he scored 9 VP while I had scored 3

This concludes battle one will post battle 2 later

Thats where it's confusing though. It's why I asked the judge before the tournament as well and was told as I am now typing. The Sisters have a cost linked to them IE a sister is 11 points. The squad consists of a sister superior thats like a free model so Thus 0 + 99 (9 sisters). if I want a VSS it would be upgrading the free model making her cost 14 + 99. this is how it was explained to me.

The "defiler" is called a soul grinder.
And also, Correct me if i'm wrong but daemon princes are Str6 base i'm 90% sure. Only T5 however

Nice report regardless though

They are only S6 if you give them a special sword according to my opponent. I asked prior to the charge since if it's S6 I avoid it like the plague do to instant death rules

Thanks for the report.

The judge and yourself are wrong about the points costs. He signed off on it, so you're good, but I would fix it for the future.

A 10 girl sister squad is 110 points base. That is 9 girls and one sister superior.

Same with Seraphim, 5 girls is 110. That's 4 Girls and one sister superior.

Upgrading to a veteran SS is an additional cost.

As Pretre and SabrX said, the costs are confusing because the new codex lists them differently, but you need to pay for all the Sisters and then start upgrading.

The Daemon Princes can be strength 6 with the Unholy Might upgrade, they start at strength 5.

Yeah, thanks for the updates and catching my mistake on points. I have remedied my list pretty much losing the seras to pay for the rest and have told the judge of the folly. Nabbing some dinner and then will post second game of the tourney

The next game was my sisters of battle vs the space marines. Our mision type was capture and control with dawn of war deployment (Our judge has horrible rolls). He won initiative and placed a razorback with a tac squad and tiberius on his control point. I placed a rhino with a cannoness hiding behind it on my own control point and the battle commenced.

His list included:
3 5x tac marine squads
Tiberius
3 7x legion of the damned with MM, melta
3x razorback w/ TL las, 2x plasma
1 predator w/ TL las, 2x plasma
1 vindicator

Turn 1: the rest of his forces drove out onto the field spreading out to prepare for whatever would come. All of my units then drove onto the field with my frontmost rhino and 1 immolator popping smoke for the iminent shooting second turn.

Turn 2: He rolls 3-4 for all 3 of his legion and has all 3 roll on target for teleporting in right next to my right flank. They proceed to pop the empty immolator and 1 Rhino killing 3 sisters in the process. The razorbacks failed to shoot anything and the vindicator moved forward to get into range of my vehicles. The 2 frontmost rhinos and the immolator drove on a beeline for the enemies armor to attempt to pressure them into backing off. the other 2 rhinos rallied near the cratered sisters and unloaded their BSS as well to back up the shooting against the legion. The 7 sister squad aimed for the closest legion proceeding to place 15 wounds on the unit (thank god for having to be clumped after deep striking). The legion collapsed under the firepower dragging every last man down. The second squad had similar results upon the 2nd squad of legion this time doing 11 wounds to them. The last legion took the full force of the final sister squad losing all but their melta who was then challenged and made short work of by a cannoness in CC.

Turn 3: The razorbacks open fire upon the incoming vehicles turning the immolator into a metal box and immobilizing another rhino. The vindicator lobs a shot at the retributors running to get into a better vantage point to shoot the marines once they come out, luckily missing horribly again. The excorcists begin baraging the razorbacks exploding 1 and immobilizing another. The one remaining rhino on that flank makes another dash to get closer and pops smoke for the turn. The sisters after cleaning up the legion hop back into their rhinos leaving the 7 sisters behind to guard the point and begin to go reinforce their comrades against the armor.

Turn 4: TIberius and his squad hop out of their razorback and proceed to take cover beind the vindicator. The predator pops the front rhino through smoke amazingly no sisters were killed in the explosion. the razorback proceeds to shoot the metal box for no damage and the vinidcator immobilizes itself on a wall trying to cut off the sisters from getting close to the capture point. Tiberius uses the void spell (can't remember name) and throws it at the 10 squad of sisters who are unaffected by such trifling phenomena (rolled a 6 on our 5+ to ignore psychic powers). The sisters proceed to fire upon the vindicator wrecking it and the dominions fire upon the predator knocking off it's las cannon.

Turn 5: It's all or nothing to stop the sisters from contesting the point. The last razor lobs a few shots at one of the excos doing nothing. Tiberius and his squad go all out and assault the sisters squad dropping 2 sisters and losing 1 marine. The excorcists return fire upon the razor destroying it and both canoness join the battle against tiberius. It's a bloody battle dropping another 2 sisters and all of tiberius's squad, but he survives with 1 wound managing to keep me from contesting the point ending the game in a draw which was won later by points.

Battle 2 complete Battle 3 posted again later.

Wow. 3 LotD squads? That man is crazy. I'm not entirely sure how that list is supposed to work, but props to him for living the dream.

I think this game shows how it works....

Just kidding, I actually think LotD are a bit underrated, but they need to be deployed correctly. Dropping them down next to a dozen flame templates is not the correct way to do it.

they are so touch and go in my opinion. on one hand they are a 3++ save all times, but on the other hand slow and purposeful. Yes dropping them next to squads capable of mass wounds is a horrid idea because the only way to drop invuln saves is shoot em more.
I think in his game against a guard army during the 3rd round he absolutely destroyed the mech guard. Those lascannons don't do much if your save is invuln and the enemy starts 2 inches from your gun line.

Really? Mechguard should have eaten that list alive. Oh well. Every Chim with 3 S6 and a S5 flamer would probably make quick work of 21 LotD.

From the mumbling I was hearing at their table next to us I'm thinking our mech guard was having a horrible day with the dice gods. I know against our weakest player at the tournament he almost got tabled. (Weakest being another SM player)

Onward to game 3 of the tournament. I call shenanigens on my horrid luck, but my third and final opponent were the necrons. I swear the judge knew I was coming and decided I should never need to use divine guidance or something. Our game mode this time was seize ground on a pitched battle deployment. I won the initiative and the deployment began.

we had 5 points to control
His list included:
2 Monoliths
1 Necron lord on destroyer body w/ 3 wraiths
2 tomb spiders
7 scarab swarms
Nightbringer
2 squads of 10 necron warriors

I deployed again in a parking lot deployment going for the offensive charge for the 2 nearest points to me. He proceeded to deploy one monolith also offensively heading for the center point with nightbringer playing hide and seek behind it. He put one tomb spider near it also then had another tomb spider and the lord/wraiths head for a lower objective. Both warriors and the 2nd monolith started in reserves.

Turn 1: I ran my sisters forward taking the first spot and getting close to the second point before popping smoke on my front most vehicles. My excorcists attempted to destroy the monolith but failed to glance it. He moved forward with his forces and wounded 1 of his tombspiders spawning scarabs. His lower tomb spider with the lord went for the point while the lord and wraiths rushed towards my sisters going towards an assault for turn 2.

Turn 2: 2 Rhinos worth of sisters and my 2nd canoness surrounded the wraiths and the lord preparing everything they had to destroy the unit. The other sisters attempted to hurt the monolith from the protection of the rhinos, but again failed with the excos to actually do anything. The lord and 3 wraiths proceeded to die from the concentrated fire of 2 squads of sisters + 4 rhinos and a canoness with a bolt pistol. The lord then fails his resurrection orb save and 1/3 of the necrons army is elimanated. The monolith proceeded to use it's small guns fire upon the sisters out in the open killing 0 of them.

Turn 3: 1 squad of sisters got back in their rhino and joined the shooting spree at the monolith attempting to bring it down. the other squad began it's walk towards the point held by the solo tomb spider along with the 2nd canoness. THe necrons rolled lucky on reinforcements and had everything come in. The 2 squads of warriors walked onto the board back in his deployment zone and started making way for the 2 closest points to them. His scarab swarms came up behind the excorcists and proceeded to assault them destroying ones gun and shaking the other one. the 2nd monolith landed on the other side of my sisters from the first monolith and destroyed a rhino with it's main cannon.

Turn 4: My seraphim who were hanging in the back engaged the scarabs in melee after killing 2 with their IP's to keep them off the remaining exco. The retributors now being able to see nightbringer open fire upon him causing no wounds. My sisters pour fire upon the one tomb spider killing it's scarabs and wounding it once. The immolator drops off it's dominos and proceeds to head for the warriors. My sisters turn to the new monolith it being the new imminent threat and after shots from 3 different meltas 1 glances and wrecks the mono. The first monolith main cannons my immolator headed towards the warriors blowing off it's weapon nightbringer starts making his way towards my retributors and the tomb spiders attack my squad of sisters and my immolator with no weapon respectively. The immolator makes it out unscathed from damage the seraphim kill 2 more swarms but lose a sister in the process. My BSS lose a sister to the tomb spider and do no wounds in return.

Turn 5: I attempt to tank shock the warriors with my box on wheels but they pass their morale check and move out of the way. My 2nd cannoness jumps into the fray against the tomb spider hoping to end that battle quickly. My excorcist pot shots at nightbringer with only 1 shot and fails to do anything. the retributors make a run for it so as not to be caught by the god of the necrons. 1 squad of sisters makes a last ditch effort to contest the point in the center of the field and gets close enough to do so. Again the monolith survives the barrage from the meltas taking a can't shoot result. The warriors make it to both their points they were heading for the 1 squad wrecking the immolator in the process. The monolith also moves onto the center point contesting it making it a tie game nightbringer then assaults the sisters contesting the point making them have to consolidate into the assault and pulling them off the point. I lose 3 sisters in the battle against nightbringer causing no wounds to him. My sisters and canoness destroy the tomb spider claiming the point for themselves in the process. The game ends with him winning with each of us controlling 2 points and him contesting 1.

The guy only had 24 necrons. Every shot should be going into a 'cron body. Good try though.

There's not much Sisters can do against Monoliths and Nightbringer. As pretre mentioned, you should focus on phasing out the crons.

Nice try though.

I was amazed he popped one with a melta. ;

Yeah I had very little answers to the death citadels. downside for the warriors was they came on all the way across the table and to get to them would bring me right beside the mono and nightbringer. Was a good move on his part and had I gotten lucky a sister would have made it over, but would have had to sac a couple squads to tie up nightbringer. Also didn't realize how big of a threat he was until he got to close
