Looking for some feedback from people on what works with Sisters. I'm worried about the assault power of the list (virtually zero) and a little bit about the ability to handle hordes. Any feedback would be great.

Comes in at 1835 right now.

Change out one melta in each dominion squad with a flamer for hordes. Assault power is going to be limited in this army no matter what. Maybe a penitent engine or a ministorum priest and some arco-flags, death cultist, and crusaders with the sisters. Maybe some ogryns with the guard. Alternatively you could use the dominions to clear the objectives and give your guard some transport to wheel in and try and hold them. I guess it depends on what you are fighting. Good luck with it.

I know you like AM allies but I really like SW allies. You can use the pods to drop in the dominions. Its actually amazing. Then you can use those immolators to MSU your sisters. Also Celestine with a unit of thunder wolves is beast

I'll have to play around with that a little. Any specific setup you recommend for the SW allies?

I have been running a wolf lord with goodies. 2 5 mans in pods with either plas and combi or Melta. This way with 5 pods you can choose whether you need the doms now or later. Also gives obj sec pods from the wolf squads.

I have run celesrine with Thunderwolves to tank wounds as well.

Also they allow you to take a flyer if you wanted.

manticore is not as useful as it looks. If you're looking for anti infantry, go wyverns or Punisher w/ HB's. If you're looking for anti-tank / MC, get a LR Annihilator w/ Las and Meltas. If you're looking for anti marine, LR Executioner w/ las + plasma sponsons.

You also might want to consider dropping the CCS because they look like a suicide squad from your setup. You could grab a LR vanquisher tank commander w/ las and a buddy instead of the manticore. Vendetta transport capacity doesn't need to be utilized for them to be effective. Being dedicated anti air / tank / MC is enough.

Yep. I ran mech sisters and TWC recently at a tourney and went undefeated.

Hmm.... Might be headed back to the drawing board then.

It's a cool combo no one sees often and is great in this meta. Cheap meltas dropping from sky. Awesome.
