I decided to convert more 40K faction rules to Kill Team; continuing with the Sisters of Silence. This should be easier to balance since they only have 1 unit, unlike my last ruleset, the Kroot Mercenaries (which could still use some love if any of you have suggestions or improvements)
Any and all suggestions are welcome; I hold no presumptions to be an authority on this faction and only wish to provide more ways to enjoy Kill Team with this thread.
A quick disclaimer: I know that Psychic Blanks are supposed to be wholly immune to psyker powers, but keeping that expectation would only be fun for one person. For the sake of keeping the game playable, but still honoring the "anti-psyker" role of the Sisters, I figured a cumulative penalty against enemy psykers was more appropriate for a skirmish level game. Furthermore, psykers in the fluff have been able to attack Blanks with their powers using telekinesis & warpflames, albeit with diminshed effectiveness.
Tactics:
Unnatural Aura: 2 CP use this stratagem at the start of the morale phase. All models within 6” of a Sisters of Silence model subtract 1 on nerve tests they make.
Purging Fire: 1 CP use this stratagem on a model equipped with a flamer. Roll two dice when rolling for the number of shots and discard the lowest number.
Masked Presence: 2 CP pick a Sisters of Silence model. That model is considered obscured until end of turn.
Untouchable to the Warp: 1 CP Pick a model during the fight phase. Daemon models are at -1 to hit the chosen model.
Datasheets:
Null-Maidens:
Null-maiden M: 7” WS: 3+ BS: 3+ S: 3 T: 3 W: 1 A: 2 Ld: 7 Sv: 3+ MAX -
Sister Superior M: 7” WS: 3+ BS: 3+ S: 3 T: 3 W: 1 A: 3 Ld: 8 Sv: 3+ MAX 1
Null-maidens & Sister Superiors are equipped with boltguns & Psyk-Out Grenades.
Null-Maidens & Sister Superiors can replace their boltguns with either a flamer, an Executioner Greatblade, or two Bolt Pistols.
A Sister Superior with an Executioner Greatblade may take a Bolt Pistol.
Witch Hunters: Can re-roll failed wound rolls against Psykers in the fight phase.
Psychic Abominations: Enemy Psykers take a cumulative -1 penalty to cast spells for each Sister of Silence model on the battlefield to a maximum of -4. Enemy Psykers within 6” of a Sister of Silence model cannot cast spells this turn.
