Sisters of Silence, swords, rhino 110


The other version I had replaced the shooting command squad with 3 grav cents and a pod (other minor points shifts too of course)

Thoughts?

I see a bit of a lack of anti tank and although the plasmagun on the scions is nice because of rapid fire and double shots your scions are going to quickly die to gets hot. So you might want to change those specials to meltaguns and use those 10 points as an upgrade somewhere else.

I did consider that but feel like 2 melta s rarely do much :-(

Well bolted scouts won't do much of anything and sisters of silence may end up doing very little themselves if no psychers.

So redundancy helps especially with deep striking suicide units.
I'd drop 1 sisters of silence squad, 1 bolter scout squad and that gives you enough points for 3 melta scions and 1 plasma scion squad with 5 pts left over to add something to your scout sergeant like a locator beacon for your scions.

That means while ur scouts are a low threat target they still help your scions by reducing scatter when they deepstrike in if they drop close by or just a melta bomb on ur sergeant if you're a risk taker.
