I really found that even without the faith, 4 HBs at 600 pts was pretty darn great. Rending was just gravy.

What do you guys think about even lower point levels...kill team to be specific? I had 3 thoughts on it really.

Let the bodies hit the floor

Special weapons galore

Repressed urges

Can you take Rets, 5 of them with 4 HBs in only 89 pnts I think.

85, but yeah.

I think kill team is limited to 2 troop, 1 elite, 1 fast attack, otherwise I'd be all sorts of over that. That would be killer.

Throw in a couple Repentia... Eviscerator for 17pnts is always fun.

Hey guys!
So ill be going to a 1250 team tournament in a few weeks with Blood Angels as my partner. He is bringing mostly CC troops (thankfully) so its up to me to hold down long/mid range shooting. I know SoB isnt the best army for this but I love my girls so im going to bring them anyway.
So here is my list, criticism is welcomed.

Uriah
6 DCA
3 Crusader
Rhino

BSS
M/MM
Rhino

BSS
M/MM
Rhino

Dominion
M/M
Combi-Flamer
MM-Immo

Dominion
M/M
Combi-Flamer
MM-Immo

Exorcist

Exorcist


My idea is to have my BSS sit on home objectives about 8-10 inches apart to overlap Str 8 AP 1 and have Uriah and Co. act as counter-charge against attacks on the BSS when they inevitably get their ride blown out from under them.
Dominions are the alpha strike. Get in, blow up ranged units, die a martyr.
Exorcists provide clean up/ additional long range support for my BA brothers.

So am I totally off base or does this look like a good support army for a very assault phase heavy BA team mate?

If the BA player has CC covered, you should drop the Conclave for more shooting. For 260pts you can get Celestine and a 3rd Exorcist . Another option would be to take Kyrinov for the fearless bubble. That would give you enough leftover points to add a HB Retributor squad with a MM Immo.

Basically this. The only other suggestions I have are to possibly consider taking a squad of HB Rets instead of a 3rd Exorcist and to make sure that the Team Tournament you are going to is allowing normal FOC for both halves of the team. I know of some Team Tournaments that use modified FOC so not every team brings six HS or whatever to the table. Otherwise it looks alright to me and good luck!

Interesting.
Howa bout I drop Uriah and Co. Take Celestine instead and use the savings to put in a Ret squad with 4 HBs with a Sim. That still leaves 40 points I could use for extra ret bodies to suck up wounds until the Saint can bail them out.

This tourney says each team member gets the full force org so 3 heavy support would be ok.

I would give some Combi weapons to your BSS, probably Combi-Meltas. That would still leave you points for one extra Ret body, or a Combi weapon for your RSS. Or alternatively, you could not take the Simulacrum, nor the Combi's I suggested, and get exactly one fully manned Ret Squad with the Heavy Bolters still.

Just walked in the door from IFL Road to the NOVA Invitational Qualifier Tournaments

Went 3 and 0

Rnd 1 was against Jeff Payne with a BA list my dice were on fire and I was able to make alot of saves in the game. Ill post the lists later when I have a chance to write them up from what I can remember. I won on the Primary 8 to 5 KP

Rnd 2 was against Rob Baer with a GK henchmen list. It was a super tough game. It came down to Rob's Libby making a run roll on that last turn of the game to contest an objective and he fell short. I won on the Primary 2 to 1 Objectives.

Rnd 3 was against Jared Myers with his Space Wolves A knock down drag out fight that went to Secondary Objectives after tying table Quarters.

All three of the games were awesome and I really want to compliment them all for some of the best games I have had in 40k in a very long time.

Now its on to Rnd 2 in July.

Went to a store nova tourney and won best overall. Got pics. I hope to post something on Monday.

I just cannot wait to finish the OFCC tourney in August (Team Tau!) so I can turn attentions again to Sisters. LOT of positive outcomes happening for us out there. Can't win em all but Sisters are certainly winning their fair share right now.

Gratz! I cant wait to see the pics what did you go against?

Why did you decided to go Tau for the tourney in the first place lol...

Mech IG, necrons and jump BA.

Congrats Pretre and Spidey!!
I look forward to hearing more about your tournaments like your lists, pics, etc.


I went ahead and dropped Uriah and supplemented Celestine so I could get a ret squad. I did select the sim and 3 extra bodies for wound soaking. I figure their biggest thing is getting rending to go off thus the sim is more important to me than a full squad. The other 3 or so points left over I put into searchlights for the Doms. I already know several Necron guys going so searchlights should help.

I don't like to take combi-weapons on my BSS, I really prefer the Cc/bolt pistol on BSS superiors because I already have the squad armed with melta/MM and they should be in their ride at all times. Once it gets blasted apart and they get charged at least the superior will get an extra attack. It's not much it it's a free exchange and from the hatch only the M/MM will be firing anyway.

Grats on the wins guys.

Any thoughts on how 6th will change our lists?

Tau were my first army and one I am very successful with. But more importantly we wanted to have a themed team (OFCC is a 4 person-per-team, 22 team event where they pre-score all armies, from 1-3 and match them as closesly as possible during the tourney).

The one army all of us owned was Tau so we just said the heck with it, we're doing this! So we built these bizarre lists for it, and our goal as a team is to get the lowest pre-scoring possible as a team as a kind of challenge to ourselves.

PLus Im the oNLY one with a Sisters of battle army so it would be difficult to make THAT our theme even if I shared all my stuff with them. =)

Congratulations on the win! I can't wait to see the Bat-Reps if you are going to do any.

Likewise, great job on the win! I also hope to see some Bat-Reps!

Fair enough, let us know how it works out. Searchlights for the Dominions always seems like a good idea, especially with the recent upsurge of Necron lists. I personally really like the Combi on my Sister Superiors as it gives me the option of that "extra" special weapon shot when I really need it, and at worse it gives me another Bolter to fire. I'd rather have the shot at 24" or additional shot at 12" than the extra attack in CC, but that's me.

With all the (contradictory) rumors currently going on about what is or is not in 6th makes it hard to tell at this point. My personal thoughts on the matter is that 6th might make either foot/horde SoB lists a more viable option as well as possibly making Penitent Engines better (can't really make them worse now can it?). Supposedly vehicles in general or possibly transports more specifically are supposed to get "worse" or "more balanced", but I can't say I've heard or seen anything against Walkers. And with the possible changes to Assault/Charge moves, Penitent Engines may get back some of the mobility they lost from C: WH. With the additionally possibility of there being some sort of universal or game-wide Psyker defense, SoB may no longer be left high and dry in that area too. I also strongly believe that our near army-wide 6++ will somehow become more beneficial or important than it now is in 5th. But these are just my personal thoughts/feelings based off of some possible 6th rumors and none of us will really know until it actually drops. But I'd love more discussion on it in the mean time.

Can you explain this?

I think he means comparatively because of the reduction of cover saves and FnP? Maybe?

Our Uriah bomb is about to get a bit less effective with the rumored FNP nerf.

Maybe there will be a massive reduction to cover saves making our built in 6++ more treasured?

Fingers crossed for sob improvements!!

Partially this, but otherwise it is just a gut feeling I have.

Also remember that (possibly) relentless may give users an extra shot if they stand still.

so command squads with double tap multi meltas = madness

A small glimmer of hope for our disheveled Cannoness?!?!?!

mmm mmm mmm

I hadn't heard this. If that 's the case, Obliterators and CML Terminators are going to be terrifying.

6th Edition Rumor says Sisters Repentia will be getting 4 attacks o nthe charge. I'm just saying. We are SO going to kick ass.

As much fun as the speculation is, can we wait for the rulebook and not pollute this thread with it? There's like 5 million 6th ed threads to talk about that stuff in.

You forgot that she can give them preferred enemy also that will allow them to re-roll ones in the shooting phase. LOL 4 Multi-Melta shots coming from a Rhino. That would be awesome.
