Anyone play Dawn of War Soulstrom? I've been playing it a lot lately to play Sisters of Battle in excitement for the army I'm making for 40k, and I feel like I'm starting to get better with the faction but that I could also use some advice on it. Anyone have any advice, strategies, build orders, etc. for the Sisters in this game?

Always build a few missionaries and keep them close to the sister squads. Once you start getting faith built up, they can use their lay hands skill to keep squads alive.

I usually try to get some tanks as quickly as possible; Immolators are cheap and v.good against infantry and buildings alike.

Seraphim are very good but need to be managed quite carefully; if you have the free time you can dance them around enemy assault units and never take any damage.

The faith powers, like in the table-top game, turn the relatively average SoB units into death machines. With the basic weapons upgrade and the divine guidance power active a SoB squad can mow down pretty much any other infantry unit in short order.

Build a bunch of assasains......and RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD Done that once against tau.....or was it orks......either way it was HILARIOUS XD

Get loads of immolators with meltas to melt tanks, bombard with those wierd organs and get loads of assassins and shred whatever gets in your way. Faith is great.

Overall, their really over powered units. The lightning fighters are basicly normal tanks which look wierd, have low armour and weapons and can't be repaired, as with all air units in it. Overall i thought it was a bad expansion

Go the way of FoK mate.

Thanks for the advice to those who gave it. Either way, I like Soulstorm for the factions, being my two favorite in the tabletop game. I know the ratings were pretty bad and bet that most RTS gamers don't play it, but don't really care at all either.
