So the following is the army I used yesterday in a tournament. 1999+1 Tournament. The list below is 1998. Thinking behind this list, Celestine is with one of the Seraphim squads, both of which are in reserve in order to deep strike. Uriah is attached to the 20 sister blob and they march forward across the board with their 3+/6++ (5+ FnP) in order to get into close combat. Sisters in the rhino will rush up to try to get in close to any big vehicles for the melta shots. IG are there in order to bring the big weapons that the sisters don't really have access too (ie Lascannons) along with the LRBT for additional big weapons. CCS sits back on the Quad Gun for the higher BS and give orders to the IG in the ADL. PCS is there for the same thing.

Unlucky rolls on my part and some great rolls by my opponent crushed me. In the one game, I blobbed together the 30 IG. Barrage shots from a unit of biovores killed 20 of them and the last 10 broke in ran. In the second game, a thunderfire did almost the same thing except they didn't break but the shots killed my Company Commander in the first turn. I faced tyranids in the first game and White Scars in the second. (had a bye for one of the rounds). Any suggestions or comments?
