Your source probably read all the sites the re posted CZs rumor.

Nah, this guy doesn't really do the internet much. (think older, has pretty much a full chapter of space marines from 1st edition on) I never really ask him about his connections, but the rumor gives me hope that it could happen.

Even if the new figures are amazing I have no plan on 'updating' my army by getting rid of my current ones. That said, if there is something really cool that comes out then i'm totally for it! Either way it would be cool to see what they will do. The quality of the new stuff that comes out from GW is, frankly, amazing.

Here's hoping

Yeah, I have 100+ metal sisters. I'm not going to need any of the new ones unless we get significant rules changes.

The one thing I would get are sisters superior with plasma pistols if I can get some that don't have a chainsword. There is literally no reason to have a chainsword over a bolt pistol in the other hand.

3 left side.
3 right side.
2 from the hatch.
8 total.

Which means every member of a 5 (wo)man squad can shoot at the same target every turn.

Sorry, yes, i meant the 3 on each side:
You can rarely make use of all 8 firepoints right? What are the angles?

Cause you have to "present your flanks" right? Unless you're lucky and the enemy has a Unit close enough?

I have like 200 metal sisters but I could always use more plastic ones! Converting sergeants is such a pain (if you don't want to use the same sergeant every time). When I look what ease Marine players have with converting truly individual models I always get jealous.

I feel your pain with the conversion nightmare... I painstakingly converted ten vanguard vets to the exact super load out I wanted, only to have them make plastic shortly after I finished. I'm still very happy with the models and the level of detail I was able to achieve with getting the exact bits and modeling to fit, but it sure would have been convenient to just wysiwyg straight out of the box with plastic

Slightly OT: I remember someone had some nice sisters themed tokens once upon a time. Some for wounds, some for AoF... anyone remember that?

If I can't find 'em, I'm going to have the wife design some and use her vinyl cutting machine to spit them out. I hate tracking things with dice, as I learned yesterday (I keep wanting to pick them up)

An repressors, since they're currently on topic:

They're the same points cost as a chimera w/ dozer/flamer/pinnacle bolter upgrade yeah? 1 less fire point (5vs6) but 1 more point of armor (and the ability to take up-armor for 15pts)

Just in case someone balks at the idea of me running them, the IG stuff is pretty close right out of the box...and since allies can now use transports, shouldn't be an issue.

So... I fielded the pen engine army this weekend. Went 1-2, but the two I lost were kill point missions. Needless to say, the deck was stacked against me.

I faced a khorne berzerker army with a spartan LR. Kharn wrecked those things quick.

Against the other two, they lasted a long time. The last game, all my opponent had left was a fire raptor. So, overall the list did better than expected. Definitely not a power list, but fun to play.

Will post pics later on this week.

Hey guys/girls,

Thanks for the help earlier. Here is the list I'm planning on taking to an RTT next weekend assuming I get the last couple vehicles finished. Please let me know any other thoughts you have. I kept St. Celestine in because I figure I can use her as a disruption unit. Maybe deep strike into the backfield, pick on some weak units with her heavy flamer and AP3 attacks. She should be able to handle basic infantry fairly well. I don't have the right models to do priests right now, but I have a canoness if someone has suggestions for replacing the Saint. All thoughts welcome.

Nice job, Green! One win normally isn't much to be happy with, but you took a list that was somewhat handicapped but still very cool. Sorry I couldn't make it down to Legions in person. Definitely get some pics up when you have a moment.

I finally crossed paths with Green at the tourney this past weekend. I ended up bringing an entirely different list, but I have to admit that I was impressed with Green's pen list. Looked awesome!

My list was:

Uriah
priest with LoF
3x BSS (H.flamer, flamer) in immolator (MM)
3x Dominion (4x melta) in immolator (H.flamer)
2x Exorcists

Hereticus inquisitor with psyocculum and hereticus relic
Inq squad (3x crusaders, 3x plasma accolytes, 1x DCA, Priest, psyker)
Inq squad (6x crusaders, 3x DCA, loser carrying a melta bomb)

Anti psyker assassin


I ended up facing:

1: Guard, tank heavy + imperial knight
2: The Chaos SM list that Green faced in turn 1
3: Dark eldar/eldar list

Went 3 and 0 and only lost a total of 2 points (out of 72) in the entire tourney, but ended up placing 3rd overall. Had three very good games, but I do wish I would have been able to face Green's list, just to see another sisters player across the table.

I'll post more on it later.

Also, please note that 3 pen engines are more then enough to wreck an invisible land raider. That vile chaos worshipping heretic thought he was safe from the emperor's wrath!!!

Lol! That's the only thing of his that survived when I played him

First thought: Too many toys. I would cut a lot of the extra stuff you have to get more units.
Examples: 6-9 sisters on BSS, Simulacrums, Melta Bombs. That's what, 75 points each unit? That's almost a dominion squad there.
Demo Doctrine. Seems like a waste since they're not going to get very close to use the demo charge/mb. They are a shooty unit.
Trade that stuff in for another dom squad and you're probably golden.

Second thought: Celestine should always be your warlord. Let him your opponent kill them and then choose not to use her faith power. They can't get slay the warlord. (Make sure they know this before the start of the game.)

Here our servo-skull has taken an image of the purging of the vile Chaos worshipers. The foul magics of the warp clearly had protected the defiled land raider as the Emperor's melta was not able to destroy the construction in a reasonable time.

So during the game it was the off kilter map (corners, not edges). I scouted with my chimera and all the dominion. I snapped the pic after the end of my first turn. The single CSM standing alone had just fallen out of his blown up rhino and his squad was decimated by the inquisitor's plasma. The other squad on the other side of the map had a similar fate, but not quite as quickly. In the forest there was once two predators, but one was just in range of a dominion squad. No-cover melta is a wonderful thing sometimes.

Soon after, Karn shot out and killed the dominion in the front of the pic, but lucky for me two of the other dom squad survived and rolled amazing to pen and blow up the last predator. The rest of the game was mostly just cleaning up what was left and waiting for his reserves to show up and get shot up.

Rough game on my opponent, but I rolled wonderfully in turn 1 and he couldn't make a save for anything. When the dice decide you are going to lose.... you are going to lose.

I did not realize that about Celestine. I was going to fish on strategic traits but I'm going to reconsider now. That would be a key point to deny in the BAO format. I don't know if it'll matter as much at the RTT since it'll be using the ETC format where points will be plentiful (Eternal War Mission + Maelstrom Mission + Modified KP).

The main constraint right now is models. I only have 2 dominion squads and 2 immolators. The combi-meltas, melta bombs and demo doctrine all came after I poured all my models into the list and came up with 1800 points. Looks like investing in the third dominion squad will be next as I continue building this force.

Yeah, that interpretation may not stand. I can't remember the exact references anymore. (It might have been dependent on old FAQs.)

it does stand. Raw from the book; no FAQs.

When in doubt, ask the TO in advance....

"Is the sky blue?"
"No. Our ruling is that the sky is cyan."

So, I have a 2'000pt game vs the 'new' orks come wednesday, and seeing as it's not cut throat competitive thought I'd go with something a little crazy. What do you guys think?

*We allow template weapons to fire simultaneously.

Adepta Sororitas
Saint Celestine
10 Seraphim, 2x hand flamers, Superior, Melta bombs
2x (9 Sisters, flamer, heavy flamer, sister superior, meltabombs, priest, meltabombs
-Repressor)
Retributors, 4x heavy bolter
Penitent Engine
Penitent Engine

Elysian Drop Troops
Command Squad, 4x snipers, carapace
Veteran Squad, carapace, 3x flamers, heavy flamer
-Valkyrie, heavy bolters, MRP


Inquisitorial Detachment
Ordo Hereticus, Power armor, 3 servo skulls, ML1, Pysocculum
10 DCA, 2 Priests
-Land Raider Crusader, Pysbolt

The Inquisitor sits back with the Retributors, and has fun casting guide, while keeping my Slay the Warlord point safe.

I realise that the henchmen squad is stupidly expensive, and insanely pointless, but hey, I want to put the fear of the Emperor in these green skins, dammit!

The Elyians provide objective sitters and harassing fire (command squad), while the veterans are there for jumping out and burning something that needs burning, while also providing air support.

So, critiques?

If you're not going competitive, then it looks fine.

You should drop the priests and take them from the SoB codex. Then give one of them the litanies of faith. Swap a couple DCAs for crusaders, maybe to allow the unit to survive a bit longer. You really just need to kill enough that you force him to fail the LD check and you can sweep the rest of the enemy unit.

So, here are some pictures of the Repentant Host.
I uploaded more into my gallery as well as some pics from the three battles.

I was looking at the 'drop troop' list and I have a question. Do you have to have the transport plane to benifit from the deep strike rule? Do the troops automatically get the deep strike, or is it something that happens when they get loaded on a plane?

The list seems like it would be a potentially good ally for a sisters force. It provides cheap-ish bodies to go collect strategic points, they come in planes so AA is built in, and they fit the theme of an elite force.

If I was going to add guard, it would probably be either drop troops or the tempest guys

While sisters' priests are better, doing it that way adds 2 easy kill points to the list. Just something to be aware of.

Some awesome semi-naked psychos you got there. I'd be scared facing them across the table.

Damn that is a awesome looking army!

Waaaagh da choppy army!!!

Sorry I sometimes revert back to my Ork roots

(First army, first love. Ahh the summer of 97)

The Repentant Host look brilliant, great work green.

D

You almost make me want to run Repententia... almost.
