I think Sisters would be top tier if they had pods as dedicated transports.

I'm also really torn on the second Iron Priest on a mount with the group or sit him back with 3 servitors with the exorcists, and use the other 20pts for upgrades for the other wolves. It gives you a good backfield assault unit on a point, and keeps the exorcists alive an relevant the whole game.

I think sisters are top 3rd without pods. So definitely.

That's the good part of allied SW.

The second iron priest gives you anti-knight capability if you run into a group of them that you can't take down with the doms/exos. People don't usually worry about the exorcists when there's that much in their face turn 1.

Sisters also work very well in the meta with ignores cover melta and lots of S8. Elite armies hate them. We can also make it hard for Knights to shield our shots since you can split into multiple arcs pretty easy with Doms and Exos.

There's 6 of us going from our FLGS in St Louis to LVO, so the TO is running a 6 week league using the LVO rules for us. This thursday will be my first game using the list. I finally got my 4 repressors tabletop acceptable/ready.

Also, the beards and braids on the space wolves make great pony tails on sister's heads.

heh. Very nice. Keep us informed on how it goes and let me know if you need any info.

Holy crap, how have I missed that? I've gotten over watched so many times.

The problem with adding the WGBL to the unit is they lose the FNP. He pretty much has to tank everything until I1. Though, I suppose with 2+/3++ reroll able you could hurt not super melee focused enemies.

That's a good point. No Faith if he's in the unit.

You don't care about faith at that point. There are other ways to do it, if you are at the LVO come by and check it out. I do this to add a lot of flexibility in the list. Majority of the time, they come out unhurt depending on what I am attacking. The other thing to consider is the cost of the unit is very cheap overall. Your 10 man Repentia squad compared to a 5 man terminator squad is a big difference.

Also Pretre how could use miss that Slow and purposeful can't overwatch?

I knew slow and purposeful couldn't over watch but didn't know cents had that instead of relentless. Prob two or three games where that would have stopped over watch.

I just cant bring myself to put anything but marines in drop pods. its only for fluff reasons, but I always imaged anything but marines being gelled by the impact.

Sisters had pods in third as part of citadel journal.

I can't remember if the 5 deaths were during his Shooting phase (my waiting to charge) or Overwatch....

In any case, Grav guns V Repentia is always fun

"What's your armor?"
"None"

"The enemy has Grav-Guns, Sisters! Beware, I can feel my rags... fluttering....well, slightly.... um.... I think. Yeah, definitely, right there on my left shoulder. Hmm, kinda feels good, that shoulder gets real sore holding the Eviscerator up....."

We actually had to use the "If no armour, use 6+ To Wound" part of Grav guns.

He had never read that rule before, ever. lol

Grav guns actually make the armor on DCAs and crusaders worse than useless.

idk, they almost always have hurricane bolters and they cut through repentia pretty nicely.

I think that for my repentia to get much table time they need to be cheaper. I love to play the crazies, but i'm always so sad when they die off before they get to do anything.

I found some exorcist parts in a FLGS bits bin recently and decided to start building another one. I had to cast a lot of the pieces I didn't have in resin, and plate pieces of the rhino in Plexiglas to make it work right, but I think that its coming along all right. I've been looking around at craft stores for 2 or 3 mm fleur de lis, but thus far I have been unable to find anything that is small enough to work. Anyway, what do you think?

the only part that is metal on this figure is the organ and the front plate. The rhino was just a stripped and horribly painted chassee without doors/lighs/top pieces ect.

I think the worst part of it was trying to get that top piece cast, then the extra resin shaved off of it. When you use resin it makes a solid chunk and the part really needs to be hollow to fit on top of the rhino. That said, I will NOT pay GW for a full immolator just to get that plastic piece. Its good to find work arounds.

oh, one last thing on it. I didn't wire this one up to have working headlights (I do that with my immolators). I didn't have a good way of making it fit on the figure, so this one won't need batteries.

Very nice!

I agree nice conversion

*Edit* It looks like I've been promoted to Repentia Mistress. No more Sister vastly Superior for me

I was disappointed with my place on the sob track so went with SW.

I sometimes switch back to my Arbite designation.

Some days I can't figure out if I love police brutality more or burning heretics more

Hey I heard that sisters use to have a dreadnot long time ago from WD i wanna say. Is that true?

Reference to the penitent Engine maybe? Can't think of any other Dreadnaught apart from Witchhunter days and the multiple allies?

Very nice Exo, but i have to say i'm not a big fan of the Organ Gun. Only the sister on the piano at the from is what makes it for me, pity you didn't find just that part =P

The reason that I was able to cast the pieces in resin is that I have another model on my shelf that I haven't started yet. I'm debating casting the organ player.... lots of small parts and I have an extra immolator part that would work all right anyway. I may just look at it when its done and see if I like what I see.

Didn't somebody convert an Exorcist variant once where the organ pipes pointed forward at an angle, kind of like a MLRS or Katyusha multi-barreled rocket launcher? Or did I just wish for that so hard I believed it was real?

Might be mine - got off ebay and think it looks very good - top left of shot

Yep, 1.4i (ish) did. You were the one to call it the "Saint Katyusha" pattern.

I like the vertical pipe organs better. it helps with the 360 degree firing arc turret argument.

And LoS if you draw it from the top of the pipe.

Actually, can you hide the exorcist so that only its pipes are showing to get LoS while not exposing yourself to fire, or does the barrel of your gun count as one of the bits which can be shot at.

Morden's army is beautiful, but Mallich is right, this is the one I was thinking of:

A little bit of putty and plastic or brass tubing you can make your own organ if you want. I did my first that way. Not the best job, but I think it turned out pretty well. I tiled the organ in an attempt to make it look more like a weapon. The Icons are charms from Hobby Lobby.

Yes, it's harder to argue it's got 360 field of fire with that arrangement, but it's such a beautiful balance of Insane 40K Bling-o-War and an actual practicable weapons system.

Morden that is a gorgeous army, I'm quite jealous. I like the exorcist pipes forward too, I think both SQRT and Morden have awesome conversions for that. No a fan of the organ look so this is a great middle ground.

As for rules, I think that the rulebook states you have to be able to see the hull to fire at a vehicle. Please correct me if I'm wrong. At the very worst you'll definitely get a cover save. I'm not a competitive player, just a beers in the basement type of player so using the pipes height for an advantage to shoot over things without the possibility of getting shot back it seems kind of... munchkinny? Personally I would either say I can't shoot over what atleast a part of my hull can see over (just so I can get shot at) or that if I'm going to play being able to shoot over things then my opponent can shoot me back. I play for fun, not to win. Unless I'm fielding my Eldar force, then winning just seems to happen whether I want it to or not. I don't even run wave serpents or wraithknights...

It's using defilade fire and perfectly legal. It's not any munchkinnier than half the units in the game that can shoot and run. It is a bit harder to pull off though, and usually sparks the argument of where do the pipes (weapon barrels) end and the turret begins.
