Also any general Advice for tournaments? like weird rulings or things. I normally play in a very friendly environment so this will be a big change for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2473364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2473364.page GMT St. Lucius on all the models that can take them, VSS, ect. For their point cost and what they do, they're a steal. I would definitely consider dropping the Storm Bolters on the Exorcists and probably the Extra Armor on them too and add a third Exorcist. I find that Extra Armor is wasted my Exorcists and the Storm Bolters are a waste of points IMO because they will be wasted on the targets the Exorcists should be engaging, light to medium armor or MCs/heavy infantry not in cover. Other than the Exorcists and the one Battle Sister Squad, you seem to be lacking in anti-tank. I would consider dropping the Seraphim down to 5 and replace the hand flamers with twin-linked Inferno Pistols to either DS where you need them or fly them behind a Rhino and move them out when close enough to do their thing. On your Battle Sister Squads, again I recommend the BoSL. Since they can take Heavy Flamers, I would suggest taking them over double Flamers for the added S and AP as well as more wound allocation possibilities. Depending on your flavor you may want to consider taking Combi Bolters on the VSSs or Eviscerators, but Battle Sister Squads generally do not belong in combat. Could also consider dropping the Celestian Retinue down to 5 and take an Immolator instead, but without multiples it may just become a fire magnet. You may want to consider a ranged weapon on your Cannoness, even just a simple bolt pistol. Again, depending on your intended roles of the units, if your Cannoness/Celestian Retinue is going to be assaulting, don't forget to give them grenades. Adding a second Cannoness for the 2 additional Faith Points may be worth it, and you could give her a Jump Pack and Inferno Pistol/Eviscerator/Melta Bombs and have her tank hunt, DS on her own, or go with the Seraphim.

There aren't too many weird rulings for SoB that you will really run into at tourneys in my experience, but one of the biggest things to ensure is getting your Acts of Faith right and doing them at the correct times and such. I always make sure my opponent is at the very least aware of what they are, when they are needed to be tested for, and what is needed to succeed each test. Nothing can be more annoying to an opponent then you as a SoB player asking to be allowed to backtrack to make an Act of Faith, so just be on your game about when they need to be used. I've often still had to stop my opponents so that I can make my Act of Faith checks at the proper times, especially during their own turns, as they can and do have an impact on the game. Sorry for the long(ish) post.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2474790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2474790.page GMT
and next thing for obscure rulings I more or less meant with other armies too. like anything that "power gamers" do that just wouldn't make sense unless you have seen it before.

I edited the list, if you wouldn't mind giving it a look over now.

Would Toning it down and taking two Cheap Cannoness' be worth it? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2478234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2478234.page GMT
As far as "power gamers" and such, it all really depends on the individual. Best general advice I can give without any real specifics is: if it sounds too good to be true, or just seems odd or fishy, it may very well be. Do not be afraid to ask your opponent to show you whatever they are trying to pull off from their codex or the BRB. If you're unfamiliar with their army, as they will probably be with yours, don't hesitate to ask. Make sure to have your codex, BRB, and FAQs handy and you should expect the same of your opponent, especially for a tournament.

Your new list looks good as is, the only suggestions I would give would be to consider giving your Cannoness a pistol just to be able to shoot. I prefer an Inferno Pistol, but if you're short on points, a simple Bolt Pistol is fine. You can be surprised what a single Bolt Pistol shoot can do, especially if you're going to DS her near rear armor of tanks. You may also consider giving the Seraphim VSS a BoSL as well, for the times when you either don't want the Cannoness to be with them, or if she needs to split off on her own just to not leave the Seraphim without a BoLS.

Taking a second Cannoness is a great way to have a great amount of Faith Points, however you run into the problem of points and Kill Points. Ultimately the decision rests with you. If you were to add a second Cannoness, I would suggest dropping the Battle Sister Squad #3 to make the points for her. It is up to you to decide if you want/need 4 Troops at 1500 points. Generally speaking, 3-4 Troops at 1500 is what you'd want to have, but it is up to personal preference. With that, you'd have points for a second cheap Cannoness and gear for her, a pistol for your first one, a BoSL for your Seraphim, and possibly a few more points to spread on your existing Battle Sister Squads for a Combi-Bolter on a VSS. Or smoke for your Exorcists. Although I infrequently use it, smoke on Exorcists allow you to move 12" with them to get in a good position if needed then pop smoke to weather the storm. Or DoW if you have no good targets to shoot yet and are going second. They aren't prohibitively expensive, but I just don't use them all that much. When I do need to use them, I'm glad I paid for them.

To finalize, your lists looks fine as is. You may want to try to practice with it if you can, or at least get a feel for what it can do now before you consider making further changes. Much of it is personal preference, so if the choice is between what you like and what someone else says, go with what you like. Good luck to you, and be sure to post how you do!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2479564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/348407/2479564.page GMT
