As for Celestine, I planned to get her into a lot of action and I know her chances of dying is really high (I usually kill her in my games against SabrX). That's why I was trying out making someone else the Warlord. But you're right, I should have just stuck to "standard procedures" here in this case.

Right, but there's actually two more arguments for Celestine:
1) You CAN, if you choose, try to stand her up and they lose STW.
2) You CAN, if you choose, not try to stand her up and they never get STW. (Strict RAW reading)

She really is the best Warlord for STW denial.

Just as Tim isn't 100% refined with my army, I am not 100% refined with his army as well. I don't know some of the "tricks" of his army. I knew that Celestine could get back up, but I didn't know that you could choose not to have her get back and thus, deny STW. That is indeed a very good denial trick. I learn something new every day.

While Saint Celestine might be useful for STW denial, her warlord trait is lackluster.

A lot of time a warlord with a good Strategic Trait will give the warlord's army a huge advantage.

Yeah, that was one of the other reasons why I didn't go with Celestine as the WL. I was hoping to get a good Warlord trait on the Strategic chart. Though in this game, I didn't get anything useful.

Her warlord traits good if you run a lot of faith that you need to have happen. Plus her warlord denial is awesome.

It's an even better WL denial character with Invisibility on.

Yeah, I just don't usually see it worth it to get the character to give it to her.

In normal Sisters lists, no.

But in my list, making Celestine WL would have been even better because for most of the game, she was Invisible. It was just something that I didn't think about when selecting my Warlord.

That is a good point.
