So we have a Crusader bomb, that I feel comfortable could take on just about anything in CC, auto-pass Hymns and AoF for a crap-ton of rerolls. They are supported by 2 melta-sister-squads to open up transports and take out armor. The backfield is a bit lean but we got a lascannon dev squad for long-range anti-tank support sitting in reinforced terrain thanks to the TFC. 2 decent flyers will provide AA and further firepower. The scout squad will be there for late game Objective Secured.

Thought? Trying to keep this fluffy while still having some bite. Alternatively I thought of swapping by "uber" EC for a regular EC and adding a MrkV Mortis dread with TLACs, it would provide a bit more firepower but lose umph and wound-tanking in the Crusader blob.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6963522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6963522.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6966900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6966900.page GMT
Scouts - drop the cloaks, you can get flamered in the speeder now anyway, and they're not worth the points if you're just trying to get into combat anyway. The speeder and heavy flamer are nice though.

Crusader Squad - I think the power fists are overkill, I like just 2 power axes in there. If you have the points I guess though go for it. I also like melta bombs and a melta gun just because you might get lucky and pop a transport with the melta shot (or MM shot from the LR before they charge in) and then charge the contents?

Other than that, it looks pretty fluffy and fun!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6967393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6967393.page GMT
However Priests give out Hatred anyway, meaning the Canoness' Act of Faith (which is Hatred) is unnecessary. Also are the combi-melta's necessary on the Sister Superiors? Those 10 points may be better spent on upgrading the Sister Superiors to Veteran Superiors for the extra leadership (to help with Act of Faith and morale/pinning checks - Sisters don't have ATSKNF remember).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6968212.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6968212.page GMT
Good point about the AoF. What about War Hymns? Does that work on allied units or is only for sororitas units? If it doesn't work on the crusader squad then this list is pretty much pooped.
Not worried about the canoness, just took her as mandatory HQ and to carry the Litanies relic.

Tks for the pointers.

And Clincher, good feedback on the scouts, I'll tweak the list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6968318.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6968318.page GMT btw, which might be a useful point if you ever need to detach the Priest or Canoness away from the blob.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6968342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601962/6968342.page GMT

So I shaved off a few options, swapped the eviscerators for maces and dropped a bolter marine in the devs, and brought the scouts to 10, combat-squadded with 5 CCWs in the LSS and 5 snipers hanging in a ruin.
