I get a bit sad every time I see sob on the swap shop. I don't think I could ever sell mine.

Do you have 6 Repressors that you are trying to get rid of? I need 6 before the tournament next weekend and making the top piece from scratch is really tedious.

I just use immo rhinos as repressor tops and normal rhinos as rhonos.

lol.... no.... I DO have 3 Exorcist and 9 Immolators though.

That's actually not a bad idea. I bet half of the 40k community doesn't even know what an SoB Rhino looks like. Just purchase some flamer bits, throw them on the Rhino, and done! I'm not sure if tournaments will except it, but it's worth a shot.

I just noticed Repressors doesn't forbid carrying models with bulky, very bulky, or extremely bulky like Rhinos. I could have a squad of Retributors with 4 Multi-meltas, attach a Sanguinary Priest w/ Terminator Armor to give them Relentless, and transport them all in a Repressor. 260 points might seem a little steep, but consider the Repressor moving cruising speed and the Retributors still firing normal BS out of the two fire points.

As far as tournaments go, as long as there is no confusion, I don't see why you couldn't use them. As long as you are not running both repressors and immolators in the same list, you can call your immos a converted repressor.

This is wrong on 2 accounts:

1. Relentless does not confer onto the unit. Only the Priest in TDA would be relentless. The retributors wouldn't.

2. If you are moving at Cruising, you are snap-firing. It has nothing to do with being Relentless. Rather, it is the vehicle movement rules that govern how you can shoot depending on how fast you move.

BTW, instead of allying in BA for the for the SP's, you should instead ally in a Dark Angel Librarian with the Power Field Generator in a Land Raider Achilles. 4++ Invuln's to every unit within 3" of him! Just keep in mind that is about 500-pts of allies.

Oh wow, I think I got relentless mixed up with slow and purposeful. I don't think there's a way to get 3 Imperial ally IC attached to Retributors for that.

Well you can take a 2nd CAD with 2 marine HQs and ally in another HQ choice. But it's a lot of points!

A bit late to the party, but here's some of mine:

Will need to fill up the gallery with all of my painted stuff =p

Wasn't that changed in the e-codex? You can only take 1 weapon from the ranged weapon list for most sergeants.

I converted a canoness with 2 plasma pistols for the WD codex and haven't been able to use her.

Doesn't matter either way, you still only fire 1 gun.

I did think the wording meant "only one", but it is says "replace one with one": nothing at all disallows you from doing "one with one" twice....?
And as pretre said, everyone has the Gunslinger rule, so you may fire both as shooting and overwatch.

Makes for a 43pts model though, so the cost is high. She's been doing very well though =)

I'd imagine Exorcists and Knight Paladin makes a good combo. Can opener and 2 frying pans to whatever is inside. I'll borrow my friend's and give it a test drive.

I personally prefer playing with Errant. The sisters lack forward armour like Land Raiders, so this fills the spot quite nicely. Flank up one side and the enemy WILL target your knight. Draws fire from exorcists and you can always run him back / charge into combat if things get dicey for him.

As i've said before: the knights main weapon is his Apocalyptic explosion, and you don't want that between your Exorcists... because he will go down at some point if drawing fire, and if he's not, that means the rest of your sisters are usually fried =P

pretre, we've got the same colour scheme. Order of the Bloody Rose. But I mae some modifications.

Nice Marauder there Shandara. I didn't realise it was so big compared to the Avenger. The Avenger looks pretty small beside it.

The Marauder is by far the biggest and heaviest model I have. It is also hard to use because it needs a huge and heavy base to stop from toppling.

Its wingspan is about 50 cm.

That is a massive, but awesome-looking plane!

I found Shandara's models & painting so amazing most of my stuff is based on the same paint scheme with some modifications...

I think Shandara knows i've been plagiarizing him though =P
But in case you didn't, now you know lol

"One weapon with one of the following" means that you swap them on a one for one basis.

Look at it another way.

You have a Bolt Pistol and a Chainsword. You can swap your bolt pistol and you can swap your chainsword. Why then would you not be able to swap your bolt pistol and your chainsword?

Anyway, the Marauder is a super-heavy flier that weighs in at just under a baneblade, I should hope its bigger than a 2HP ground attack plane!

In terms of points i do suppose? Because he's just said that in weight, i think it's far more

Marauder weighs 1095g (without the base). About 1750g with the base/flying stem I have.

To further differentiate mine, I gave mine removable front 'armor' and put a HF on the cupola turret. See this:



I have plenty of rhinos as well, without the immo conversion kit so it makes it really clear.

Points, yes, lol. Unless you have a resin baneblade.

Good game tonight - even I lost (again)

The Orks roared into action and by the end of their first turn had already reached the Sororitas lines -they weathered the intial fire and cut down the Inquisitor and her bodyguards, a vicious exchange of fire in the next few turns saw most of the orks burn and die to bolter fire, with Wazdakka being impaled by the Knights mighty Chainswaw. The Lootas weight of fire was truely devestating (taking off 4 hull pts from the Knight in a single turn!) and finally destroyed the Knight with overwatch even as it staggered towards them, chainsaw raised to cleave them in half, its melta having failed to damage the battlewagon from close range. A sinlge Ork Nob was devestating, singlehanded he dispatched two Sisters units and a immolator, suriving all the Sororitas could throw at him..............his Boss was less impressive, having gone backward to look for loot (not running away apparently) and only getting into the fight when the Knight was dispatched.

Whilst my Sisters were ok in shooting - they were absolutely dire in Close combat - I could roll nothing but 1 and 2's when I only needed asingle wound here and there to turn combats - the single Nob was on 1 wound and fought 4 rounds of combat on his own against two groups of sisters :(

How'd he field wazdakka?

6th ed game - part of a league started before new rules - so the Knight was hell on wheels in H-t-H

I just had game with my AV13 list featuring Knight, 6 Repressors, and 3 Exorcists against the Farsight bomb with min troops and triple Riptides.

Primary was crusader and secondary BAO maelstrom which ranges from control a certain objective, be in enemy's deployment zone, kill a unit, or have your own deployment zone secured. MSU mech overwhelmed the Tau death star thanks to the objectives being spread far a part. My opponent had to leave early after finishing his turn at top of 4, but I was far ahead in secondary and had too many units for my opponent to win primary.

I really like quad Meltagun Dominions in a Repressor. Heavy Flamers are great against light armored support infantry that rely on being in cover. The meltaguns were also extremely useful against Riptides.

My single Imperial Knight died the moment Farsight bomb came in. Then again, my opponent fielded Shadowsun + 12 Fusion Blasters in the unit, so I'm not surprised.

Overall, fun match. The only thing I'm concerned about is Sky Blight Nids, flyer heavy lists, or strong gunline ordnance IG.

Thanks for the pic. Your conversion looks awesome! I just showed it to the TO and gave me the green light.

Repressors are ace! I won a big tourney in 6th with AV13 repressor spam. The Firepoints make all the difference.

Thanks! And it gives you something to do with all those extra penitent engines. As an FYI, I drilled a hole in the little flap on the front of the rhino and threw in a magnet then put one on the back. Now I can do Repressor or Immo. Also, I'm probably going to use IG dozers instead. The old ones are too small.

Chimera Dozers are great, they also have a rather big section that extends under the chassis, which makes it easy to magnetise (I used 4 magnets in a square formation).

Thanks once more for all the input, reckon I've got a viable list at about 1600 points.
And as we're talking treads:

So, finally got my list pretty much ready for the upcoming 2000pts escalation, could do with a bit of advice on organisation (force split up in 500 "bunches")

Game 1: 490pt
Command Squad (5HB)
BSS 5, Melta, HF
BSS 5, Flamer, HF
BSS 5 Flamer, HF
Dominions 4Melta, 2Plasma Pistols

Game 2 - Add 500pts:
Jacobus
Rhino
Rhino
Immolator (MM, Laud H.)
Exorcist x 2

Game 3 - Add 510:
Priest (Power maul)
Priest
BSS 20 with Flamer, HF
Rhino
Avenger

Game 4 - Add 500:
Canoness
Errant Knight

Canoness kinda needed for the Command squad. I'm thinking of dropping the 2 plasma Pistols for a Combi-Melta in the dominions, and get Litanies + Dozer blade with the spare.

Game 2 i might struggle against Flyers (and maybe more) but i'd have good mobility - we're playing Game 1: Vanguard, Game 2 Scourging objectives, Game 3urge the alien and Game 4: Relic

I think the double plasma pistol on the dominions might be a bit excessive. I'd swap it for a combi-melta and spend the points in game 2 for either an immolator or some storm bolters on the exorcists.

I agree that you lack AA a bit. I think getting an Aegis line + quad in the second game would be worth it, but what to drop to get it in?

Yeah, exactly. You also need to "keep the same list", so i could not take an aegis for game 2 and drop it in game 3....
being mostly in rhinos, i should be able to out-manoeuvre a flyer, but the risk is still there...

Saving the points on Plasma pistols is only 20points, so i'd need to find another 40 for the immo.... Exorcists already have Storm Bolters =)

Maybe drop the command squad and shuffle them to a later game.
