Hey there, I have been a lurker around here for a little while and I have not posted before, so greetings! I am kind of a noob player.
I wanted to discuss the new beta rules about Sisters of Silence detachments. According to the new beta rules, you can't use Imperium as a detachment keyword like I've been doing, using a Primaris Lt. and 2 squads of Intercessors with my Vigilators and Null Maiden Rhino to fill a patrol detachment that I run with my AdMech. The changes mention that you can run Sisters in a vanguard detachment without an HQ, at no CP gain. The vanguard still takes 3 squads of 5 sisters at a minimum. The Rhino only holds 10 sisters. It's give or take about 250 points for my 10 vigilators and a single null maiden rhino. Filling the detachment would require adding at least 5 more sisters, but they'd be without transport. Adding another rhino is another 70 points, and then its only half full of sisters. It seems to me that ideally you'd want two rhinos full of sisters, but thats kind of banking points on them.
I've never really felt like it's worth taking 500 points worth of sisters, but the new rules seem to be requiring it. Considering the new beta smite rules, is it worth bringing that many of them? Am I crazy for bringing them at all?
