They are bulky, but it specially calls out all rhino chassis as not being able to carry any bulky troops. For, "reasons." She can ride in a chimera though, or a land raider
"Suffering is Faith, Faith is Strength.
Generations have suffered with the same devotion that we can offer but once. Still, our Faith leads us through these dark times like a beacon. It will guide us to triumph over these abominations. Either by breaking them upon us like waves against a limitless, golden peak or by thrusting through them like the spear of the Immortal Emperor Himself." - Cannoness Aoife, Order of the desert rose #Yesallwomen

No she can't - only Infantry units can embark on transports (unless specifically stated otherwise). Celestine is "Jump Infantry", not "Infantry".

Pg 78 of the 6th edition rulebook states that jump infantry, while "infantry", cannot board transports (of any kind) unless the transport specifically calls out an exception.The space they take up is irrelevant unless called out by the transport.
I think it's interesting with the heavy bolter focus though. perhaps swap the heavy bolters out on two mobile sister squads and throw in 2 storm bolters to keep with the bolter theme and still maintain a decent RoF? Haven't looked into this, I think 2 specials is legal in a BSS squad?
The two BSS squads that stay back though might still be able to make good use of their HB.
I agree with others that Celestine seems out of place here. Her points might be better spent elsewhere.
As for the redoubt, I own one and while it is expensive I feel it makes for a nice firebase. The HB command squad or retributors really feel at home there.
I do like the list overall though and it looks very fun, lotsa good tips here too, this thread has some amazing pros in it. I know they won't steer you wrong despite my best efforts here! lol

Thank you guys for the replies! Unfortunately only one special weapon per squad. But after some of the advice I have decided to drop the priest unit alo together as well as the two rhinos for the battle sisters squad. That leaves me with 250pts. I was thinking another canoness with command squad and another five man sister squad with heavy bolsters. Alternatively I could go with four immolators for the battle sister squads and I've two Flanders. The second canoness squad would have MM or heavy bolsters as well. I can do three hqs due to allying a AS with itself which adepticon is allowing. Thanks again for all the advice so far!
I personally love immolaters so they are never a bad choice in my mind. If choosing a second cannoness with command squad I'd go with HB again cause I feel with 3 exorcists and all those doms with melta you got the AV side of things covered. That many HB can really lay down some hurt and if you choose the 4 immos then you can kit them however you like. TLMM is my favourite but I don't have exorcists or a plethora of dominions to throw out there so I need to rely on them for AV. Alternatively TLHF are great especially against static cover campers or swarm nids. The TLHB are probably the least used but they would synergise with your command squad
On the note of immos, I think they are a great idea cause you may need a method of moving forward to cap some objectives. Immos are a decent way to move those girls up in relative safety while dishing out some fire/bolt/OMGLAZORHEETBEAM on the enemy. And since every dedicated transport for a troop is also a "troop choice" then it gets the benefits of obsec!

Battle Sister Squads can definitely take 2 Specials (or 1 Special and 1 Heavy). However Storm Bolters are rarely worth the points - 2 extra Boltgun shots at 24" are not going to affect the outcome of the game. Battle Sister Squads are far better suited with either 2 Meltaguns or 2 Flamers imo.
If you are keen on the Heavy Bolter focus, take a Retributor squad with Heavy Bolters rather than another Command Squad. I'm not sure on the rules for Adepticon, but if you said you can at least take an Allied Detachment with yourself then that will give you the extra Heavy Support slot to take a Ret squad alongside your 3 Exorcists. Rending Heavy Bolters are actually pretty decent, and if you put a Simulacrum in that squad you can get 2 turns of Rending. Put your Cannoness in that squad to make them Ld10 for the Act of Faith to make sure it goes off (or keep a Laud Hailer on an Exorcist or something nearby).
It is possible to have two special weapons in your BSS squads.
Besides, It would be better to swap the VSS on the Dominions for Laud hailers. Ld 8 with rerolls is better then just Ld 9.
I would drop the HB on the BSS and go for either: Double flamer, Melta gun or flamer HF. Put these in a rhino (so you can make use of the firepoints) and shoot away.

BlackTalos wrote: The idea here is to get most players who collect Adepta Sororitas armies to purchase a single model in order to show our support for GW, and entice them to update their Battle Sisters range.
The plan is very simple, and will simply work on the spread in Social media and gaming groups.
On the 4th of March 2015, i would kindly ask that you purchase THIS MODEL.
You may select an alternative, such as THIS or THIS.
The most important thing is to try and do this as close as you can to a selected time:
8am PST
10am CST
11am EST for the US
4pm GMT in the UK
5pm CET for most of Europe
Or the equivalent time in your time zone.
If you own an Adepta Sororitas army, that model will surely find a home and be useful. Even fully equipped collectors of AS could make use of this 1 model, and would show support for the cause. I know you might be happy with the amount of models you have, but this is a message that you want more attention given to your Faction.
The next step is simply to spread this message as far and wide as you can, and make the purchase on the stated date.
As a bonus, you may also send the following email, or an amended version of your own, to the following address: custserv@gwplc.com or uk.custserv@gwplc.com in conjunction with your order.
Spoiler:
Dear Madam/Sir,
I am contacting you in regards to my recent order of an Adepta Sororitas model.
First of all, I do apologise for the high amount of administration work this has probably caused. Secondly, I do not expect a delivery of the model if the stocks have been emptied as a result, but would greatly appreciate a refund if this is the case and if it is within your means.
Lastly I would explain the reason for this purchase: I am an earnest collector of Adepta Sororitas models, and have been waiting for an update to this Faction for some time now. This purchase shows my interest in this range of models, and shows that an Update, or simply more attention to this Faction would bring me great joy.
Kind Regards,
A Sisters of Battle players.
I do really want to emphasise on the fact that this petition will probably create some chaos for GW, but hopefully the spread of the campaign will provide them with warning, as i do not this to be a 'surprise', rather a evaluation of how many would support this cause.
Please spread the word, including translations and adaptations where necessary.

$9.90 plus $10 shipping. :(

I had no idea the shipping charges were so..... I'm from the UK, a GW store is usually within 30min drive too... :(
I don't have a BOLS account, put i posted it up in the SoB rumours thread there. Hopefully someone with a few more rights might pick it up....
I'll ask over if Faeit can put something up, though he'd pick up on it anyway =P

Pretre, shipping is free if you get it delivered to a GW store. Even if there isn't one in your area, $10 for a new model range?

$10 for a miniscule chance of a new range.

It's a side note to having another Sister with meltagun to play around with
In the end i don't really mind what it does or doesn't do for us.... It'll show we still care lol Especially if i can get all the players who already have full armies on-board...

For a company of GWs' size, 50 people ain't worth it
I think that it is the same either way. 50 or 50,000, GW doesn't listen.

I feel the intent behind this is solid. It shows that we care about the army, that we want to continue supporting it and that we are willing to open our wallets to do so. As long as the word gets out there and that enough players jump on board (heck I know my local group, though not SoB players themselves would probably chip in an make an order under their own accounts and I could just pay them for the models, that gets like 8 models for me that are all under different names to help further the cause. I know even though they don't play SoB they enjoy facing it and it's a good time whenever I deploy them).
My faith in the empo... GW is lacking however and I'm not certain if this will change any big-wigs minds over there about doing the line justice. It's worth a shot anyways though right? And doesn't hurt me at all anyways because I'd need the models to grow my force in either case.
Count me in, I'll print out that poster and post it by my comp so I don't forget.

Today the Sisters had there first victory under my command!
I had a simple list, Three troop squads in rhinos, two domination squads in imolators, three Exorcist, four priest with plasma guns and the crazy old man.
I was up against guard. Two of the tanks with the 20 shot cannon, a basilisk, some chimeras with veterans, a flyer and a HUGE blob of guys with lots of heavy weapons.

If we're serious about this thing it might be worth trying to get some of the big podcasts to mention it. The Independent Characters and the Overlords spring to mind, some of the more community facing/fluffy podcasts might give it a mention too (Imperial Voxcast, Life after the cover save, Masters of the Forge). I'd be up for it, there's a few models I've been wanting to pick up for a while.

I just ordered two more immolators. Don't need any more meltagunners (have 36 already) so count my immo's as support. Or, assume that I'm okay with the codex we have, the figs we have. I just want a faq or dataslate fix for repentia and penengines, maybe do something with celestians.
Of course, I don't think you have a prayer of doing anything to change gw's release schedule. That being said, good luck and happy hunting!
