Against a mobile assault list, I will likely stay back and shoot until the enemy is close enough for me to move up and rapid fire. Against a static gun-line, I will move (and run) everything forward on my first turn. On my second turn, I'll continue to push up with the battle sister and seraphim squads, while the celestians hang back and fire their multimeltas. The canoness and her retinue will start with the latter group, so that it can fire its multimelta and the small celestian squads can benefit from the canoness's book, but later it will move up to help a battle sister unit that's trapped in an assault or to shoot something the other sisters couldn't take down.

I have thought about dropping some battle sisters to get a heavy bolter retributor unit, but I hate to remove scoring models. Also, I want to keep the size of the battle sister units on the high side for the divine guidance. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320517.page GMT WH list does not allow you to take more than one two-handed weapon.

Also, the multimelta in the Celestian retinue doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Everything else the squad is good for requires moving forward.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320523.page GMT

Would it be better to split up my 3 large battle sister units into 4 smaller units? On one hand, that would give an additional scoring unit, two more meltaguns, an additional faith point and some versatility. On the other hand, that would mean fewer models total (more points spent on upgrades) and less effective divine guidance. With large squads, I get more hits and can afford to take more casualties before I am at risk of failing the faith roll.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320666.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213786/320840.page GMT
