I love playing Cohort Cybernetica, I have a big Dark Angel collection to support them, and I want to experiment with Sisters of Silence to push deathstars out of the meta. I'm also preparing for Adepticon in March 2017. They're likely to use most of the ITC format this year, but we do not yet know if they'll adopt the new
GW FAQ that's presently just a draft.
This is a new version of my previous Cohort Cybernetica and Ravenwing army here
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/689792.page#8649602
This army proved to be very competitive, and I think adding Sisters of Silence can counter psykers; the Cohorts big weakness. But are they better than piles of Black Knights? I'm not sure.

Since this is a rare formation: All three of these units act as one unit and they do not give up their 3 kill points until they're all dead. Instead of shooting, any of the three characters can redirect one robot's fire at another unit. This means the four robots can each fire six S6 AP3 shots at four separate units; they're only BS3 but half of those shots are twin-linked. The characters have 2+/4++ saves and the unit is T7 with a total of 19 Wounds. This unit usually walks up the center of the board firing at everything and charging anything that dares come close.
This Tech-Priest is often my Warlord because he's so hard to kill. There's other good relics, but the Autocadeceus is the best: it gives the entire unit It Will Not Die.
++ Formation Detachment (Sisters of Silence: Dataslate (2016) v2000) (235pts) ++

The new hotness. They'll ride in the three Dark Angel Fast Attack transports, even if they must embark the first turn.
++ Combined Arms Detachment (Dark Angels: Codex (2015) v2001) (795pts) ++
····Interrogator-Chaplain (165pts) [Auspex]

Even without Librarian and Darkshroud support, this is a hell of a unit.

····Tactical Squad (130pts) [Meltagun, 4x Tactical Marine]

····Rhino (40pts) [Dozer blade]
Three transports for the Sisters
So what do y'all think? Is this better than my other list with Ravenwing and two Librarians? The future Adepticon
FAQ is a wild card, but how effective will these Sisters be?
