Hi.
seems sisters are a rare sight in Army lists.

I may feel with the owners of these faithful servants of the God-Emperor. The loss and lack of anything to make up for it...
But I'd like to throw out a list for some of these fine ladies.
Once i had a chance to add some of them I also found some good advice at dakka how to organize them.

They were at 1500 / 2000 in the ge of the WH dex. Yet, it looks like they decreased in points...
What it was:

HQ:
- principalis
- inquisitor

Elite:
- celestian bodyguard
- repentia

FA:
- seraphim
- dominators

TR:
- battlesisters x3

HS:
- retributors
- exorcist

dedicated transports: immolator x2

Could turn this into ( using the models I have ):

HQ:
- Principalis
- Uriah
- kyrinov

Elite:
- repentia (10)
- priest ( really? )

FA:
- seraphim (9)
- dominators x2 (5)

TR:
- battlesisters x4 (10)

HS:
- retributors (5)
- exorcist

dedicated transports: immolator x3, rhino x2

non-FOC units:
- celestia retinue (5)
- battle conclave (10)

The whole lot at something of 150 pts per unit, in summary 2k.

Could add some henchmen as conclave and may need to add a few vehicles.

But is there a place for this Priest at all? Never see them talked of..

Can they not take assassins anymore? I didn't see them in the White Dwarf codex.

they really cant take anything anymore.... Here is what ur missing

Here are your selections for competative SOB!
HQ Celestine or Inquisitor Guy
Elete: Deathcults
Troops: Battle Sisters
Fast: Dominions in Imolators!
Heavy: Exorcists

Ez army,, just run 2HQ, 1 Elete, 3 Fast, 3 Heavy and the rest troops...

Some call is spam, some call it lack of other units to take...

But its competative... Say goodbye to guard armies...

Not to troll and/or trump your list but this is an example of the most competitive lists I could come with the new wd


Hq

Cannoness w/ Melta bombs 70


Troop

Battle squad w/ Melta gun x2,rhino 180

Battle squad w/ Melta gun x2,rhino 180

Battle squad w/ Melta gun x2,rhino 180

Battle squad w/ Melta gun x2,rhino 180

Battle squad w/ Flamer x2,rhino 170

Battle squad w/ Flamer x2,rhino 170


Fast attack

Dominion squad w/ Melta gun x 2, simulacrum imperialis, rhino 145

Dominion squad w/ Melta gun x 2, simulacrum imperialis, rhino 145

Dominion squad w/ Melta gun x 2, simulacrum imperialis, rhino 145


Heavy support

Exorcist 135

Exorcist 135

Exorcist 135

Total: 1970

The only things I would change to free up some points would be the imperalis' ... They're main job to make sure twin-linked meltas go off

Replace those with dozer blades or give the superiors combi-meltas

Without the =I= its deathcult only.

Yes, most lists found on the net are spam.
Should I post spam list N°543209483? I think nobody needs that.

No problem.
Just not going to build hybrid kits ( exorcists ) or spamming rhino hulls ( alredy own more tanks than is healthy..).
I am aware of the commonly agreed list. But as stated above I doubt anyone wants to see that. So I am going for the
list I intend to use as a theme if the girls don't have to compete that hard.

Example 1:

Martyrdom
Themed around the ecclesiarchy and a SoB support force.

HQ:

- Konfessor Kyrinov
- conclave, crusaders ( 3 ) , DCA ( 4 ), arco ( 2 ), rhino
- Konfessor, eviscerator
- conclave, crusaders ( 3 ) , DCA ( 4 ), arco ( 2 ), rhino

=> 530

Elite:

- Priest ( joins repentia )
- Repentia ( 9 ) , ( borrow a rhino from a battle-sister squad )

=> 203

FA:

- Dominions ( 6 ), Meltagun x2, co-plasma, immolator

=> 178

TR:

- Battle sisters ( 20 ), MM, Flamer, co-plasma, rhino ( provide the taxi )
- Battle sisters ( 20 ), MM, Flamer, co-plasma

=> 575

HS:

- Penitent engine ( 2 )
- Penitent engine ( 2 )
- Penitent engine ( 2 )

=> 510

==> 1996 ( 6 walkers, 4 transports, 76 belivers in the imperial creed )
The priesthood, the repentia and the sinners get close, the sisters support. Maybe something to try in CoD.
Parts of the conclave and the PE would have to be 'counts as' models for now. ( sentinels as PE ? )


Example 2:

The sisterhoods reaction to a threat
SoB in a friendly game

HQ:

- Principalis, PW, IP, rosarius
- Celestial retinue ( 5 ) , Banner, MM x2 , stormbolter

- Uriah Jacobus
- conclave ( 8 ), crusaders ( 3 ) DCA ( 3 ) arco ( 2 ), rhino

=> 513

elite:

- Repentia ( 9 )

=> 158

FA:

- Dominions, ( 5 ) meltagun x2, co-plasma
- Dominions, ( 5 ) flamers x2, co-plasma
- Seraphim, ( 7 ) flamer pistols x2, PW

=> 350

TR:

- Battle sisters, ( 10 ) MM, flamer, co-plasma
- Battle sisters, ( 10 ) MM, flamer, co-plasma
- Battle sisters, ( 10 ) MM, flamer, co-plasma

=> 450

HS:

- Retributors ( 5 ) HB x4
- Retributors ( 5 ) HF x2, stormbolter
- Exorcist

=> 328

dedicated transports.

- immolator x2
- rhino x2

=> 200

==> 1999 ( 5 transports, 81 hopefully faithful servants )
The conclave, the repentia and the small units get transported. Principalis, retinue and seraphim support them.
Less, "look, clones!" more a mixed bag of models is already have. ( except the combi-weapons, which seem to be common now )
