Yeah, but... but.. new stuff!

Once we actually have the book, I'll be all over the new stuff with you.

mmm mmm mmm

Dominions are the only ones that get combi-weapons in the list I build. For the most part I wont use them unless I have my Twin-linking faith power go off, Much better chance that It will be worth those 10pnts.

Here's my BR. It is a bit quick and dirty, but you get the idea:

Game 2, rounds 2-3 you gloss over it but...

I do not understand the Jacobus thing. You left him in the Rhino and brought the Battle Conclave out (fine). later he joins them but the thing is, the unit cannot move AFTER Jacobus joins the squad (by rule). They would have to move first and then Jacobus would have to join them. So how were you able to do this to the Spyders? If the Spyders were that close, why didn't they just charge you?

Pictures were a little blurry so i cannot rightly tell but this was confusing.

Jacobus is in the Rhino. I move the DCA forward to charge range of the spiders and leave a trailing model 10" from the rhino. Jacobus hops out 2", moves 6" and joins the unit. They then charge the spyders.

The Rhino also moved 12" after he got out so that someone else could get in it.

I see. the charge threw me in this description. It did not seem like the Spyders would be that close without charging YOU. Why didn't they?

I guess now that you explain it, it seems like the Spyders just made a fatal mistake in the movement phase. too bad for them (but not really).

Silly thought, but with the rumored allies, I could ally my SoB with SoB and take St. Celestine, Uriah, and Kirnov as well as four Exorcists?!? Yes please!

wow... it has begun...

Scarabs charged but spyders didn't have range. I was parked behind vehicles.

K. Well gratz man!

Heh thanks! Although I just found out I've been misplaying searchlights :(

Gonna drop a Dozer for some.

Ahhh dozer blades... All this talk about the importance of tank shocking has made me retool my list to include them. It's not fun to try and shock a unit out of a building only to get immobilized on the outside wall.

I did win a practice match yesterday. Funniest thing was watching mepheston lose his last wound on a dangerous terrain test. Whop whop...

Making Mephiston kill himself is my pride and joy with my Eldar army.

More dominion squads sounds really cool.
I wonder what armies could provide the strongest support for Sisters in terms of an HQ and a troop slot.

Something particularly long ranged maybe? A tough counter charge unit? Army wide buffs? Something that does a good job of keeping things in melta range safe or more troublesome to charge? I also like the idea of unlocking a potentially useful transport. I always felt like sisters were more in need of land raiders than anyone else.

Ally with SM and take Vulkan and a small Tac Squad or Scout Squad. Maybe grab a Land Raider for Sisters Repentia to ride around in. Twin-linked flamer-y, melta-y goodness for my SoB, while giving Repentia an Assault vehicle. *Drools* All dependent on how allies actually work and whether special rules will carry over or not.

Yeah, Vulcan is a good choice. CCS with astropath and MOO with a platoon with auto cannons is a good choice. Gives us lr anti transport, a reason for the enemy to spread out and reserve buffs (plus makes outflanking doms reliable).

Bonus points for Straken. FC conclave? Yes, please.

My IG force is already a 'inquisition' army and my straken is a counts as inquisitor that was once in my WH.

DCA in a storm raven... or HF Retibutor unit, or just about freaking anything.!!!!!!!!! Lets got 6th Edition!!!!!!!!

Teleporting a Dominion Squad into the backfield of an IG army LOL.... So if we take Ko-Cheeze does that make our battle conclaves scoring?

Really, I don't think we need more transports or choppier units. We just need better LR transport poppers.

well... I am conflicted on this. On one hand it returns the Sisters of Battle ability to take allies. On the other... it lets other races do it. Hmm... Just not entirely sure how I feel about it. That allows for some awful combinations and the feel of the game will be impacted dramatically. So... Just really conflicted about that

I still like the Idea of getting a 4th Fast slot or Heavy slot.

LOL or a 3rd Battle conclave. The possibilities are limitless

If the Landing pad isn't to crazy in points I Could see a very effective Real Decent of Angles list...

4 full Seraphim Squads, backed by 3 Exorcists. Celestine and Uriah 3 BSS Squads.

Only 1710 pnts, naked that is

I was thinking about one of the bastions with AA guns, myself.

Not sure I want to tote around a Bastion to Tournies though..

If it gives me non heavy slot 48" guns and the ability to shoot down flyers as well as something to hide my vehicles behind, I'll do it.

It makes me wish I didn't glue my bastions to scenic bases, that's for sure.

Iirc, exorcists can see over the walls of one of these. Las cannon wouldn't hurt and who knows what the missile silo does.

Have any of you folks gotten a chance to look at the most recent WD? My FLGS apparently will not receive them until next week due to some reason I could not make out between the curses the owner was tossing around, lol

I ask because that youtube preview mentioned a few pages dedicated to reviewing how each army was affected by 6th, and I was curious what was written about our ladies, assuming SOB were even included as one of the studio armies
