For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

Lol, it's too good for 10 points yeah, but you'd balance for +1 cover and the heavy bolter. 30pts sounds about right IMO.


Star Trek taught me so much. Like, how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female...

Heavy bolters are just fine at 5 points/model. They don't break Sisters at that cost, and Marines are only slightly worse offensively than Sisters, so it makes sense for them to pay the same considering the difference in resilience.
