Mainly just for fun, I've been playing around with building lists, trying to find synergies between different armies.
Due to this I've stumbled across a fun little synergy between the Imperial Guard and Sisters of Battle.
Description of the strategy for the list will be given at the bottom.
The list:
The strategy:
The infantry squads are first bunched together in one single big unit, since they're all in the same platoon the rules allow this.
Then Uriah Jacobus is joined into this unit to give every single guardsman the "Feel No Pain" rule.
The Retributor Squads are each given a Vendetta as their transport. The normal sisters however will remain on foot.
Assuming the roll to go first is won, I use Creed's tactical genius to give my huge infantry blob the Scouts special rule.
Using the Scouts rule on both Vendetta gunships and the guards, I move them all forward into the field.
The other sister squads however will be staying at the very top of the deployment zone.
In the first turn I will move my Vendetta gunships flat-out, and drop the Retributors in front of the enemy's face using Grav Shute Insertion.
My guards and battle sisters will also be moved forward. In the shooting phase I will try to get rending on both my Retributor Squads.
If this succeeds, flame hell will be unleashed upon the enemy which is but a few inches away.
Conclusion:
Of course, this is still a concept, and probably loaded with flaws, I hope any of you have suggestions upon improving the list.
