GW asked you to design a flyer for the Sisters of Battle what would you come up with? this is my vision of what it could be...

A slightly smaller version of the Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter. Since the Sisters fight with the 'Holy Trinity' of weapons, Bolter, Flamer & Melta that's how I'd arm it. A twin linked Heavy Bolter in each wing, A twin linked Multi Melta in the nose and two "flamer bombs" under the wings. Flamer Bombs would be like napalm, template, S6 AP3, ignores cover. The template can be placed anywere along the path the vehicle moved and would scatter 1D6 forward in the direction of the flyers movement. Flamer Bombs are one use each and can be dropped at the same time or in separate turns. If dropped at the same time each template can be placed individually along the flight path and rolls for scatter seperately. It would be a Fast Attack choice and could be taken in squadrons of up to three. Armour 11 - 11 - 10 and three hull points. Cost about 100 points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713848.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713868.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...

Thanks, this is exactly what I had in mind...

There ya go, just put some bombs under the wings, and give her a long ruler to wack bad things with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713888.page GMT Re:Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...


And I'd give it a giant bolter (probably mid-strength, AP 3, lots of shots) and lascannons, and the option to take some kind of flame missile. Since it's a pretty big plane with lots of guns I'd probably make it heavy support.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713934.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Navy/AVENGER_STRIKE_FIGHTER.html]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5713937.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... FW and into their Codex would also be nice. And it'd make sense, since according to FW they revere it quite a bit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714661.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...
I mean I guess... you could use melta-powered missiles? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714680.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...
Continuing on with the GW current toy design...

It must satisfy the following criteria..

1. Long robes with flowing banners that can easily break.
2. SKULLS!!! lots and lots of SKULLS!!!
3. Some sort of molded on flames and at least one oversized sword that can again, be easily broken.
4. Organ pipes and Censers---because the flames will stay lit moving at Mach 2....

That should just about cover it..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714890.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5714892.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...

Melta missiles could work, and would be unique. On the other hand, the Stormraven comes with a multimelta already, so there's precedent.

All the new Codexes apart from Chaos seem to have had two fliers - a gunship one, and a "fluffy special of the day" one (the DA flying church, Dark Eldar have the void bomb...). For Sisters I reckon something that has some minimal standard weaponry but can target and "demoralise" units with weaponised chanting would fit the bill. Maybe take a Leadership test at -5 and suffer a Wound for every point failed by?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715238.page GMT Re:Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715380.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...

The Doom of Malan`tai is a Tyranid unit that makes evrey enemy unit within 6 inches take a LD test on 3d6 and take a wound with no armor saves for each point you fail by. So there is precedent for it. I could see the mechanic coming back sometime (as much as I would absolutely loathe it on my poor tau).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715401.page GMT Re:Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... tbh, its a pretty hardcore flier. a 12/10/10 flier with an ap3 bolt cannon of doom? sure.. seems about right... ... ..... -_-

Edit:
And to anyone who says ERMAGED NO FORGEWORLD HRMNAHRMMM!!, simply replay that if that is the case, then they cannot use any of the units from DFtS, as it is also an expansion to WH40k, and since only core RB/codex are allowed, they cannot use the fliers in it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715411.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715461.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...

I'm no expert in lore or fluff but the Storm Raven has a nose mounted Multi Melta. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715544.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up...

24inches is one heck of a grenade throw.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5715577.page GMT Sisters of Battle Flyer, lets make one up... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5717872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/532216/5717872.page GMT
