Im making a SoB (Adepta Sororitas) Army mostly Drop Pods. To take advantage of SoB Amazing Heavy Flamers + Rending and Ignore Cover Melta Guns.

BA list is 3 Tacs with Drop Pods + Grav and 6 FA Drop Pods with a Storm Raven.

I have Enough points (@2k) to pick a FW Knight...

I dont know what the rules are for them atm (Im ordering the Book W/ the Knight) so I need to know the best Knight to order that goes with This style army.

PS: Sorry about grammar, its hard for me.

I'd just use a Warden.

For the sisters, you're not having trouble with tanks or hoardes, so probably the Lancer so you can point it at GMC's/SHW and use your ignores cover meltas on something else. The knight warden would also fill in for anti MEQ duty with that novacharged heavy burst cannon super assault cannon it totes around.

Difficult to go past the Atropos too if you're after anti superheavy stuff.

I think the Acheron would be a bit more in line with the fluff though, but it might be a bit unwieldy to use given drop pods tend to end up all over the shop and a helstorm flamer can really limit your options if you've got 6+ pods scattered around the place.

The crusader isn't a terrible choice either since you're lacking blasts, but if you really wanted to deal with hoardes, I'd be chosing the Acheron instead and blasts aren't that great anymore, so you;re not really losing out. Also means you won't scatter onto your own guys/gals.

Thanks alot, I like the lancer Idea best so far. I most likely will get that. I was able to get a few PDF's of some of them.

With the Helstorm, yeah that be hard with a Drop pod army lol.

I like the Crusader, personally. Battlecannon (or melta cannon, but with Sisters, you have no shortage of meltas) and gatling gun? Sign me up. Oh, right, and your choice of krak missiles or anti-infantry artillery missiles to boot.

You give up the melee D, but you still have S10 AP2 and Stomp.

Oh, rats, you said Forge World and I missed it - yup, given that, go Lancer or Atropos. I like the Castigator, but what it brings isn't really what you need at this point.

The Main reason I said FW is I dont need another Formation or CAD to take it. Some of the League and Tournaments I play only allow so many CADS/Formations, Im trying to keep it to 2 if I can. 3 at the Most.

That makes sense I guess.

The Lancer is basically a hard counter to Monstrous Creatures and Gargantuan, which is something you'll maybe lack. The Magaera is the second-worst one but still my favorite.

Atrapos. Nothing says Hi like a mini-Titan armed with a lightsaber and a blackhole gun.

Thanks for all the help!

I've ran my lancer several times in RTTs; its quite fun if maybe not super effective unless fighting other Knights/GMCs. Its shooting isn't bad and the CC invul is a perk over most other knights, plus the speed if you skip shooting helps to get it stuck in, but for tactical flexibility its a bit lacking compared to some of the other (shootier) Knights.

Isn't the Magaera really good vs blobs? I personally like my Styrix but Str7 rending large blast w/ Shred can't be that bad?
