Edit: oops! wrong forum could a mod please move this to army lists please!

Are battle sisters still the only troop? Because if they are, your running very low on troops.

BSS are the only troop squad in the "codex"

Then 20 T. 3 models wont survive that long, even with a 3+ save.

I concur, unfortunately BSS are pretty terrible compared tot heir previous power.

Right. I am still wondering about how we can manage to not lose too much power, fielding enough BSS in case of objectives game...

20 power armored models even with T3 should be reasonably survivable, assuming you aren't stupid and throw them out into open to rapid fire thinking this is the old witch hunters book. Hell, I manage with 30 t3 modesl with 5+ saves as my scoring contingent as dark eldar, so you should be fine with SoB (as fine as you can with this horrible should have been aborted "codex"). I also don't think its all that good running more battle sisters than you need consider they had a very considerable nerf on top of a points increase.

I think the way to run them now is to just play them like eldar, tau, and chaos space marines do. Spam the few units that you have that are good, and hope your have protected your troop tax enough so you can be in the game towards the end. Any thing more is probably wishful thinking.

Agreed.

I'm still tempted to slip a crusader or two in the assassins to give a soak, but it's probably not worth losing the extra 4+ power weapon attacks at s4

I'd say we are more likely to see 2 exorcists + 1 HB retributor squad + transport for the REPENTIA to use, if you are taking repentia.

Personally I'd drop Repentia for another troop option; others have highlighted why I'd also drop a dominion for a seraphim squad for celestine to roll with (actually two, because I love my conversions, but sensibly, just the one squad should do it)


Gosh darn I miss our own codex/FAQ version of Hit N Run, especially now we lose 4i on seraphim. Not as much as I miss reliable 3+ invun of course ;3
