Has anyone here had any good experiences with this unit?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1272828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1272828.page GMT
I would have considered at least trying them but then once you get past all of their game play shortcomings they are also heavy pewter and have a nasty price tag.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1272888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1272888.page GMT WS with a single lousy attack that you pay an obscene amount of points for. Orks work because they are T4, 6 points, you take 30 of them, and there is a Nob in the unit. For that cost, you can take 10 Repentia who are individually inferior to a Boy. Apparently they were originally supposed to have Terminator Armour, but that was cut as a last minute change and they never playtested the revised entry. It shows. They are worthless in assault, but *would* be good at taking out a vehicle. That is where their lack of a transport option, lack of Fleet, and random Holy Rage completely screws them over. They will only reach a vehicle if your opponent is really, really stupid.

40K players often measure the badness of a unit by comparing it with other awful units. We have Flash Gits and Possessed as a usual yard stick, but Repentia are a whole level of awful well below those `almost-good' units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273004.page GMT 40k. Stay far, far away from them. With t3 and 4+ armour, they will never survive to swing their weapons...

The basic rules that was lost ignored with Repentia is that CC troops MUST have a base of at least 2 attacks to be worthwhile.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273138.page GMT
They are a really fun unit. They aren't really what you would call a great unit. 5th did help them a little as they can now run when there isn't a target to charge in range.

Single attack, I1. Anything with more than 1 attack is going to rip them up.
Now if you had Creed in the list and they were outflanking that might be fun...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273404.page GMT SM biker list for kicks.
They are a very characterful and I would say fun unit to use.

They were a big threat for my opponent who was a bit dread heavy 4-5 Dreads (Master of the Forge).
So they absorbed alot of shooting esp. when going to ground and then failing morale to run forward and break out of going to ground.

They have variable movement values, but can be crazy fast.

I guess it's just, if you can live with the oppurtunity cost and just want a fling with the Sisters, they are fun to use... they are not overly great, but they have targets that piss in their pants.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273778.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1273827.page GMT
At anyrate, they really need 2 attacks, Str4(8), invulnerable save, swing at I4 on the charge, or a 5-10 point price decrease. Really, any 2 of those would probably do the trick. They seem to suffer from the same issue as a lot of the old Inquisition codex units do: a bunch of abilities that are worth 2-5 points or so each, but not with 10-20 all together. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1274063.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275287/1274063.page GMT
