So, Is there a way to Counter this with a hard to shift Imperial Jump Infantry unit, that also supplies some Close Combat power AND Shooting Power?
I believe the Blood Angels Death Company is the Answer...
As they have....
2 Attacks base
Rage
Fearless
Relentless
Furious Charge
Boltguns (Or Bolt Pistol+Chainsword for 5 attacks on the charge)
FEEL NO PAIN
TOUGHNESS 4

The Feel No Pain and T4 are highlighted as they can counter Saint Celestines Weaknesses
So the DC will provide....
Majority T4
2+ LoS!
3+ Saves
5+Feel No Pain
These can Stop S6-S7 weapons (Rail Rifles, most forms of Plasma, Autocannons, Flamestorm Cannons, Assault Cannons, Multi-Lasers ect) from Forcing Celestine to use her ability (or killing her if the ability was already used) and if there are many S8+ weapons, thats where the Stormraven comes in.

And (With Jump Packs) the Death Company are only 23ppm

So, in your eyes, would DC be the Saviour of Saint Celestine?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745070.page GMT Saint Celestine in a 5 man DC squad (with Stormraven), saviour of her low T and lack of EW?

DC instead of an iron hands command squad on bikes with storm shields and a Apothecary?

DC are still all going to evaporate the first time someone points an Ion Accelerator at them, or even more hilariously, when their stormraven gets glanced to death and they all take a str 10 ap2 hit.

Not to mention that the draft FAQ's say battlebrothers can't start in each others transports anymore, so you'd have to deepstrike in and stand around like a chump getting shot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745853.page GMT Saint Celestine in a 5 man DC squad (with Stormraven), saviour of her low T and lack of EW? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745866.page GMT Saint Celestine in a 5 man DC squad (with Stormraven), saviour of her low T and lack of EW? DC are not that hard to get off the table anymore. Especially since Wulfen have inspired people to start playing the rapid fire battle cannon more on their IKs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8745878.page GMT Saint Celestine in a 5 man DC squad (with Stormraven), saviour of her low T and lack of EW? DC are garbage for the points, well pretty much most BA units are due to lack of invuln.

When this GW FAQ draft becomes official, I do plan on incorporating St. Celestine into my IH command squad for HnR replacing DA. Protect her in the middle and she hits pretty hard in combat, a lot harder than Sammael. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8746283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/695176/8746283.page GMT
