The only way I can see repentia actually making it into combat is by maxing out on the void shields and saturating the assult troops. if the enemy has to shoot through 9 void shields before they can hit your repentia then you should be fine. There is only like one army that can reliably cut through that much av12 and lets face it, sisters don't show up all that often.
Using this soon to be available set, that coincidently has a resemblence to certain stuff.
This set up will give you 4+ cover, defence against tanks, bikes and infantry, 3 recharging AV12 layers and upgrades Flamers to Torrent, and bypasses the explodey aspect of the pipes.
All for the low cost of 200pts!
Now you just need to make it commercially available.

So I'm going to adepticon for the first time. Assuming they don't include escalation or stronghold assault what would your 1850 pts include ? If I may ask. (I'm just assuming they don't include those two, because it's better to be ready for them not to be than make slight adjustments to include them.)
Uriah and Priest star (5 priest, 3 mauls, 1 litany)
2-3 Sisters in Rhinos (5 with F/HF)
1 20 Sisters
3 Exorcists
as many dominions as you can fit in.
YOu could drop some of that to fit in Coteaz and henchmen in a bastion as well.

Are you planning to make this available via shapeways? I will be pretty happy if you do.

I've actually already put it on shapeways. Problem is, it's prohibitively expensive.
The Force Field Generator Building costs £600 (white strong) - £2100 (frosted detail - needed for the detail). The Fuel Pipes are £150-£200. This is all as hollowed sprues as well. At special request, if you want these parts put up for public sale at these prices, I will...
Otherwise, I'm going to be running a kickstarter in the new year, to purchase a Resin Printer (a £300-500 type thing) for resin masters, and casting gear, so I can put them up myself. And I'll be back to shamelessley plug and encourage people to back it at the time. Until then, you can always look at more of my renders in my 3D model thread in my sig - plenty of Sisters counts-as in there.

Ovion, that stuff looks great. I'm looking forwardo seeing a kickstarter for it in the new year.
In other news, entered a local tourament today, it was a 'twisted doubles' where you bring 900 pts and are randomly selected a partner for each game. I managed to lose all 3 games, I was running jaco in a 9 woman sister squad in a rhino, a 5 woman squa in a mm Immo, melta doms in rhino witha sim imp, and 2 exorcists. Despite losing all 3 games the Sisters didn't perform too badly, weshould have really won the second but it wasn't to be. I'll give a more detsiked breakdown once iget to my pc if anyone's interested.

Always interested in hearing! What partners did you end up with, and what did you play against? That and a BRIEF summary should probably be enough for interested parties to ask more specific questions, if we have any
Thanks for sharing (and I actually really like the idea of a twisted doubles event… hmmm)
Would be interested indeed! Not enough flamers to my liking

As of the new IA 12 book the Avenger strike fighter is now capable of being run in squads of 1-3 and now has 3 HP. Found this out the other-day and haven't seen anyone else that's noticed this. Now for my liking 2 exorcists and 2 strike fighters sounds like something fun to build a list around.
Anyone got any thoughts on this? And before anyone asks, it is legit, i even received a email from forgeworld confirming it.
The 3 HP change is a welcome one. I'm not sure running them in squadrons is good. It's a bit of overkill on most things you'd fire at. Plus you risk losing all to a single volley of enemy fire.

Could the two Avengers in the squadron do two parallel strafing runs and tear up the board side by side? Or is that only bombing runs?

as for the running in squadrons im going to be building mine out of a Valkarie so its gonna cost half the price but before i get into that i think ill just proxy a second one just to try how well (or bad) it works with 2. Ive always liked the model and the rules for it but the 2hp kinda put me off a little.
As for viability there are a lot of people at my local clubs that play CSM and having two avengers would make dealing with the heldrakes quite a bit easier and as im running 2 Dominion squads in immolators i dont want them to hop out and just get the 6 girls baleflamed off the board
I was completely unaware people were still playing with 2HP, sorry.
I've been using the 3HP rules for a while now =S
You also have armoured cockpit to ignore Stunned & Shaken on a 4+. No shield of faith though unfortunately... (Was Q in an email though so not to trust)

Put the Aegis 5.5 inches from mid board.
Infiltrate Cypher and the Blob behind the Aegis. Put Cypher on the quad.
Your blob now has a 2+ cover, 3+ armor and 5++ invulnerable, is fearless and has all the nasty bits from the priests/uriah. Enjoy!

I try to avoid the YMDC part of the forum if at all possible.
In a casual game I would just ask my opponent. (remember alot of tournies do allow this so I take that to be RAI rather than RAW which is always better in a casual game)
This message was edited 1 time. Last update was at 2013/12/28 13:00:10
Very true, but RAI or RAW both broken my Avenger strike Fighter has a Shield of Faith, because it's flown by Sisters...
Imperial guards pilots? i wouldn't even trust them with my Rhinos
I'd probably put it in the same boat: If it gets challenged as "unfair" and in tournies where people go "not allowed", i guess both can be dropped =D
