I also think I can forge a narrative with them, which is becoming increasingly important for me

Sisters of Battle:

HQ:

Uriah Jacobus
Battle Conclave: 5x Death Cult Assassin, 2x Crusader

Troop:

9 x Battle Sisters (Flamer, Melta)
1x Sister Superior (Combi-Melta)
1x Rhino


9 x Battle Sisters (Flamer, Melta)
1x Sister Superior (Combi-Melta)
1x Rhino


Fast Attack:

4x Dominion Sisters (2x Melta)
1x Dominion Superior (1x Combi-Melta)
1x Immolator (TL MultiMelta)


4x Dominion Sisters (2x Melta)
1x Dominion Superior (1x Combi-Melta)
1x Immolator (TL MultiMelta)

Heavy Support:

Exorcist

Exorcist

4x Retributor Sisters (Heavy Bolters)
1x Retributor Superior

Fortification:

1x Aegis Defence Line + Quad-gun

Subotal: 1400


Imperial Guard Allies:

HQ:

Company Command Squad

Troop:
Infantry Platoon:

1x Platoon Command Squad

1x Infantry Squad

1x Infantry Squad

1x Heavy Weapons Squad (3x Missile Launchers)

1x Heavy Weapons Squad (3x Missile Launchers)

1x Heavy Weapons Squad (3x Missile Launchers)

Subtotal: 450

Total: 1850

I would start the Retributors and maybe one or two HWS behind the aegis defence line. Since the Retributor Superior can't take a heavy bolter, she'll be operating the quad-gun when its not needed in intercept mode. (I have a question in YMDC about whether these shots could be rending, but.... either way its a good weapon). This gives them the old 4+ cover save I am used to from 5E area terrain

The missile launchers are there for their versatility and potential future for AA as well.

Thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Just as a side note, I am playtesting battle conclave vs repentia, both foot-slogging. The new assault out of vehicles even if they've never moved rules are limiting the effectiveness of starting them in a dedicated transport anyway. Repentia have the advantage of stronger hits but suffer at a lower initiative and less survivability.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4469882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4469882.page GMT [6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies
you could change one of your guard troop choices for a guard vet squad with 3plasma or melta mounted in a vendetta with pask, gives you anti air, a good armour busting unit and with pask you can use orders to make them twin linked!

It's just an idea I was toying with...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471047.page GMT Re:[6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471358.page GMT [6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471424.page GMT Re:[6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471444.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471444.page GMT [6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies
I was also looking for an alliance with my Imperial guard with battle sisters, what are the exorcists like? Any good? I've never played against one?

Also I would never put troops into a vendetta, but I would definitely recommend purchasing one! Must be one of the best fliers if not THE best!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471518.page GMT Re:[6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies AV 13/11/11 with a 48", STR 8, AP 1 Heavy D6 weapon.

Thought it would be a good idea as they can grave chute when the vendetta comes in onto an objective.

Exorcists are temperamental, with str 8 ap 1 if you manage to roll a decent amount of rockets they work well, but if you don't it's a waste. I've had games when they've been great and others where they've done poorly.

As above too]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4471608.page GMT Re:[6e] 1850 Sisters of Battle + IG Allies

I tend to agree with this. The autocannons are two shots each and with the slight strength ding. I would rather land my shots than miss while having a higher strength. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4472773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/458675/4472773.page GMT
