Immolators + Doms = 2 units destroyed if you're lucky enough with the immo.

Combined with a very killy unit(s) sitting in your opponent's face... that they have to deal with. This means, usually, your exorcists are left unmolested in the back.

I'm starting to wonder if I should experiment with space marine scout bikes. If I attached them to Celestine, I could bring her 12" forward and hide her in a T5 unit that can Jink, though the Seraphim are definitely better at tanking low AP ignores cover fire. (Does anyone else find it strange that our tankiest sisters are fast attack?)

Or convert them to Sororitas scout bikes if your opponent is okay with homebrew....

Probably not :( Also, I might be moving soon so everything I know about my local meta is about to be wrong.

Immos usually go with my BSS.

Likewise with potentially killing two units with doms in an immo, there's potential to lose two of your killy units. I like to spread out where the pains coming from, make my opponent consider target priority.

Dominions and Repressors = dominions living to turn 2.

Yeah, I do want to try a knight and repressor all AV13 list at some point.

I've used two Repressors with heavy flamer and flamer inside...Very wicked.

Put celestine in front to tank for the bikes. If it's instant death, then look out sir, otherwise all the incoming shots are against T5 and if they aren't ap2 then they aren't going to do much.Essentially the only weakness would be lascanons/meltas.

Also, i'd like to see st celestine on a bike.

I almost did a Google search for an image from a cheesy 1980s RPG called Biker Nuns From Hell... but then remembered that Google includes the images from Biker Nuns with Guns, which is a sexploitation flick from the 80s, and is definitely NSFW.

You'll have to use your imagination.

Close, but a bit off.


SFW for the other one, but big.

Anyone else going to represent the Adepta Sororitas at the LVO with me? (And/Or piss away $75 to FMC and wave serpent spam)

Whats LVO?

Las Vegas Open I think?

Ahh across the pond - bit far I am afraid

Well, sitting here at home after the rehearsal for my Sister's wedding and painting a harridan, and a thought crossed my mind. Do we have any real options from Forge World for transport fliers?

Well there's options, but I'm not sure how 'real' they are lol.

Aquila Landers and Arvus Lighters from Imperial Aeronautica can both be taken as Fast Attack choices for a Sisters Army. The Arvus Lighter is terrible though (75pts, 12 model capacity, AV10/10/10 and can only snap shot any weapons you pay for it). Unless you desperately want a Deep Strike option for a Battle Sister squad, then you'd be far better off just putting the girls in a Rhino.

But the Aquila Lander might do alright as a transport for a MSU of, say, Dominions. It's effectively a flying Rhino with a Heavy Bolter (or pay for a Multilaser or Autocannon), and a 7 model capacity for 110pts. Deep Strike it in hover mode so you can disembark those delicious melta guns in the enemy's backline somewhere then shoot things with the Autocannon.

It's a real shame that the Arvus Lighter sucks so hard, because I think it's a really cool model.

D

I'm unimpressed by the FW Aquila rules, but J3f's fandex has a upgraded Aquila as well as some other homebrew fliers. Myself, I prefer Sororitas Valkyries, which you can legally get (without Shield of Faith and BS:4, of course) with IG allies.

I'm late to the Celestine show-off party, but some of the Celestine paintjobs a few pages back were so awesome that they literally made me go ahead and start collecting Sisters.

Anyway, I just wanted to show off a bit, I think she's easily one of my best painted models. Can't wait to put her on the tabletop with some Seraphim and go to town!

Dunno if this was mentioned before or not, but there was an update to our codex done on June 30th of this year. if you haven't already, might want to re-download it.

1) Awesome Celestine -- is her skin red-gold, or is that just my iPhone screen? I don't think I've ever seen highlight her supernatural nature that way.

2) What got updated, specifically?

I think it's just the lighting and your screen, unfortunately. Although now that I think about it, it would be pretty awesome to see a Celestine like that (not really how I would want mine to look, but I could dig it for someone else ). It'd be like a parallel to Guan Yu. I finished Romance of the Three Kingdoms a month ago and it was very awesome.

It was just the 'update' for 7th Edition - they changed the names of references to the core rulebook, and fixed up some formatting errors on the Condemnor Boltgun and Exorcist/Penitent Engine profiles. Nothing changed in terms of rules.

If you want SoB flyers then I highly recommend the storm wing formation. It gives you 2 storm talons and 1 stormraven in a formation with some extra rules. You can transport a single SoB unit in the stormraven which is even an assault vehicle (so it works well for crusader units and repentia units, in fact it is the only way I have found to run repentia and actually get usage out of them). I have been contemplating remodelling one of my stormravens with a SoB pilot but I think a tinted canopy and inquisition symbols like it currently is is good enough (considering that crusaders are usually the occupants).

SoB actually got 4 major indirect boosts from current releases.
1) SW being able to loan out drop pods can pretty great when you can stuff them with retributor units with 4 heavy flamers (which can gain rending for AoF). I have been toying with these and they make a mess of most units.
2) Imperial Assassins are an incredible addition to the army. If you go with 3 units of scouting doms in transports then you end up with so many high damage units in the opponent's face that they struggle to cope. I prefer the immolators for this as it puts more pressure and I prefer to keep the assassins alive.
3) Issodon, Chapter Master of the Raptors who automatically gets the Master of Ambush Warlord trait...being able to infiltrate 3 retributor units with MM in repressors or rhinos, or a 20 model SoB mob with priests, etc. is just incredible. Combine this with some scouting doms and you will start with the board under your control.
4) Forgeworld Imperial Knights or the Addy Lance. Combined with repressors and exorcists and you can make an extremely scary and effective army, AV13 wall is not just for necrons.

The only thing I have been frustrated with is that I still feel like my HQ is a tax. At least Celestine is pretty

Celestine's still good for deathstars and Uriah is still good for big sob units.

Do you just stick the priest in with 1 of the dominions?

or in with the rets with celestine?

Priest goes wherever. Although I may stick him with the TWC for rerolls on saves. Celestine starts with the TWC and either sticks with them or goes to the rets. Doms is a good place for the priest too. He can hop out and join the TWC later.
