Regarding the loss of IG being able to ally with Chaos, personally I think it makes sense from a fluff perspective. Traitor IG aren't the same faction as loyalist IG (which the allies matrix represents), so having loyalists be more tolerant of Chaos never made much sense fluff-wise.

Though I do sympathise with those who had an army of traitor IG built up, and who now have to work around the new allies matrix somehow.

I know exactly what you're getting at.

Their aesthetics blend very nicely. They're going to look just fabulous together.

The Sisters don't anymore. They can of course still work alongside the Inquisition, they're just not Chamber Militant to the Ordo Hereticus anymore.

Basically, the Inquisition codex only lists the Hereticus as "watching" the Sisters (among other organisations). No special relationship between the two is mentioned.

The whole Sisters as Chamber Militant to the Hereticus thing only came about to explain the two sharing a codex back in 3E anyway. Now that the Sisters are back to their own codex, I suppose that GW decided to revert that change away.

So who is serving as Chamber militant now?

You could run your traitor guard as Vrak's renegade militia list.

Which is admittedly far worse (we're talking bottom tier book here) than the AM in virtually every way there is to be worse.

Nobody, as far as I know. In fact, I think I recall hearing that the term "chamber militant" has since fallen out of use.

They rolled all the Imperial armies into one. So now Sisters are somehow BB with Space Wolves, and Space Wolves BB with the Inquisition and GK.

That makes no kind of sense.

Hey, what about the bigger heresy of allying SW with Dark Angels? Not that anyone actually would anyway, but y'know...

Also, I hope the red and orange are better differentiated in person, from this picture they appear to bleed together.

Well you can't fit enough marines with special weapons....

Special weapon squad 30k marines!

Or SoB Celestians.

Did you mean Dominions? They're the best unit for transport-embarked special weapons in the SoB.

Those are the ones that can get a large number of meltas and function as pseudo-fire dragons up until you get past five (wo)man unit size right?

Then those.

Ah I first thought of Dominions but then hesitated and went with Celestians instead, I'm silly.

Seems like a good monstrous creature or vehicle hunter squad.

Between the vendetta's lascannons and the Dominions' meltaguns, pretty much any vehicle or monstrous creature is going to be dead.

Given that we got a full entry for the Lost and the Damned in the 6th ed Rulebook, perhaps we are getting a supplement or something. I wonder if they get a section in the new Rulebook too.
