So, I decided to tinker around a bit with the new Sisters of Battle codex. Here's what I came up with on the first try:


St. Celestine- 135
5 Battle Sisters- flamer, heavy flamer, Veteran Sister w. combi flamer- 100
-Immolator- multi-melta- 60
5 Battle Sisters- flamer, heavy flamer, Veteran Sister w. combi flamer- 100
-Immolator- multi-melta- 60
5 Battle Sisters- flamer, heavy flamer, Veteran Sister w. combi flamer- 100
-Immolator- multi-melta- 60
10 Repentias- 155
10 Repentias- 155
5 Dominions- 4 meltaguns 105
-Immolator- multi-metla- 60
8 Seraphim- 2 hand flamers, Veteran Sister w. melta bombs- 155
Exorcist- 125
Exorcist- 125

1495

The Battle Sisters grab objectives/do fire support, Celestine and the Seraphim fly around and be an annoying threat, the Exorcists provide long range fire support, the Dominions (hopefully) either Scout or outflank to bust some tanks, and the Repentias either run screaming at the enemy or stay behind the wall of transports to counter-attack.

Any thoughts? In all honesty, I'm a little uncertain about the double Repentias. I took two units of them to take advantage of their new cheapness, but I now wonder if I could ditch one unit for something else.

If i was you I'd drop one of the repentia squads, get the other squad a rhino, and spend the rest of the points on some priests. They got so much better for their cost that it's kinda folly not to take at least a couple

I was considering Priests. However, rerolls or no rerolls, a unit of 5 Battle Sisters is dead the moment it gets into combat, so I think Priests would be pretty much wated n them.

The one thing I was thinking of as an alternative was an aegis line w. quad gun, and maybe a small squad of Sisters to man (woman?) it.

I was thinking add a priest to the repentia to make them killier. ADL is something you need because otherwise you have no AA, so that's probably what i would end up going with

I would lose a squad of Repentia, if only to add a third Exoricst. This is the best tank in the game for its cost.

And do not discount the priests. For 25 points, you are making those small 5 girl squads fearless.

Also, scrape up ten points for a laud hailer on the Dominion squad's immolator. You definitely want that AoF to go off.
