<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas]"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas] GW Exorcist. It's an undeniable fact that it has a large following, for its sheer ridiculousness and incredible blinginess.

I like the model too, but I'll forever cling to the image of Sisters as being more soldier than icon - I like the FW Exorcist.

So, I thought... what can I then use the organ gun for?

Well, how about actually playing music?!

War Organ [Elites] - 60 points

BS 4 FA 11 SA 11 RA 11 HP 3

Unit Composition:
1 War Organ

Wargear:
Storm Bolter, Smoke Launchers, Searchlight, Laud Hailer, Organ of Retribution

Special Rules:
Shield of Faith

Transport Capacity:
1 model

Access Points:
2 side hatches

Options:
May take vehicle upgrades from Codex: Adepta Sororitas.

May be accompanied by up to two of the following, forming a squadron:
- Sororitas Rhino.......................... codex cost
- Immolator.................................. codex cost
- War Organ................................. 60 pts each
- Penitent Engine......................... codex cost

Organ of Retribution: This weapon does not have a standard profile. Instead, it provides a passive bonus to friendly units with a model within 6", chosen at the start of the shooting phase. These effects last until the start of the controlling player's next shooting phase, and can include the Organ's squadron. Such is the skill of the Sister playing the instrument that this does not count as firing a weapon.
- Hymn of Loyalty: Affected models may reroll all failed Leadership tests.
- Hymn of Vengeance: Affected models receive +1 attack and a +1 bonus to Combat Resolution.
- Hymn of Victory: Affected units may reroll the dice when determining how far they run or flat-out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7295662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7295662.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas]

An idea to make it more fun:

Wargear:
Storm Bolter, Smoke Launchers, Searchlight, Laud Hailer, Organ of Retribution, Loudspeaker.

Options:
May purchase up to four addition loudspeakers - 20 pts each

Loudspeaker: A Loudspeaker increases the effect of the Organ of Retribution by 12".

Or Vox Casters depending on context. I always figured the Laud Hailer was a loudspeaker that was specifically used to laud (praise) the Imperial Creed.

I'm not sure about an upgrade to bolt extra speakers onto it... is its range that much of an issue? You can already take multiples to build a bigger bubble.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7300722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7300722.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas] http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302397.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas]

This way you still get what you are looking for, without the hassle of "This is a weapon...doesn't count as firing a weapon."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302552.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302552.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas]

With a 6" range, the units really have to clump up against the organ to get the benefit, which could make maneuvering on the battlefield awkward. 30" bonuses (if somebody can take 4 speakers) with that many weapons that need to be destroyed one at a time seems like a bit much.


Ah, it's supposed to affect a whole unit even if only one model from that unit is within the 6" mark. I guess if you're running MSU, that could be a problem though.

That is probably a more elegant way of doing it.

A Vox-Caster is actually a radio transceiver, typically used to refer to a man-carried or vehicle-mounted military-style radio. It's what units need to take advantage of Orders.

As to the bubble thing, I'm thinking that it should just have a base range of, like, 12", and the Laud-Hailers are just on it by default, because this is an Ecclesiarchy vehicle that is designed to be playing music at high volume. Cherubs bearing censers of incense are an after-market add-on. With a 12" stock bubble, you have a total of 24" + length of vehicle (park it sideways) reach with its hymn. Get 3 of these things on the table, and you can cover just about everything worth covering..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302809.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302809.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas] http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7302843.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas]
I love the whole WW2/Korean War-esque vibe of the Imperium's field radios, and not only because i, myself, was an RTO in the Army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7304298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7304298.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas]
1) who's the one passenger supposed to be -- a Canoness or Priest or something? What does that one passenger do?

2) why Rear Armour 11? Other Rhino variants are all 11/11/10.

3) I agree with Psienesis that laud hailers should be default wargear and that the base range should be 12" -- this thing should be LOUD.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7305325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7305325.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas] are default wargear, it's the Laudspeaker that's optional :p But I suppose so, if opinions match. So that would make it 70 points base, do we think that's fair? I dunno, seventy points feels like a lot for something so fragile that can't "earn its points" in a single turn...

RA11 is a typo that nobody else picked up on. ^^;

One passenger is... yeah, the idea is a priest or Canoness, and is mostly because I'm frustrated at not being able to fit a priest in my command squad immolator... >> just snuck it in there, lol.

Costing is hard, but the ability for Sisters to form a squadron is itself somewhat valuable. (If you could squadron Exorcists, it would be awesome/broken). My rough Ovion-style costing would be

Spoiler:

Sororitas rhino: 40 points
Reduce troop capacity from 10 to 1: -9*2 = -27
Add limited ability to squadron: +10
Add Laud Hailers: +10
Ability to give War Hymns-like buffs, w/o needing to check Ld, to units within 12", let's say on average 3 units: 3*20 = 60?

40 + 10 + 10 + 60 = 120
120 - 27 = 93


So 90 points at a rough guess.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7306172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7306172.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas] http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7306227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7306227.page GMT Toccata and Fugue in D Minor [Adepta Sororitas] ppm between writing the first part of the equation and the last.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7307375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/619954/7307375.page GMT
