So, finally I got my hands on the codex: imperial agents and started to check out the Adepta Sororitas chapter. There is one thing that I immediately started to think about though. When I make a list for my Adepta Sororitas, do I have to use the Vestal Task force-detachment in Codex: Imperial Agents or can I make a list and using an ordinary CAD?

For those of you who doesn´t know what the Vestal Task force is: it´s a unique detachment for the AS. You have a compulsory Elite choice in addition to the HQ and Troop choice. You loose the objective secure rule, but you get another bonus instead.

1. Not all missions are objective missions.
2. For an MSU force getting a turn of Power armor rerolling 1's is really nice.
3. The saint is a 2+, so you are getting a 2+ reroll for a turn on her.

With a CAD, I run up the table, hop out my tanks, shoot, then get blasted off the table.

With the new formation I run up the table, pop the reroll 1's ability, hop out the tank, shoot, then tank the crap out of the fire coming my way so I can shoot another turn.

Another way of thinking is, if these were Space Marines getting reroll 1's for a turn, I don't think you would say it was a worthless formation......]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9179548.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9179548.page GMT Adepta sororitas detachments in Imperial Agents

1. Space marines have access to 2+ armor. 2. Space marines have access to 3+ invuls, 3. Space marines have ATSKNF 4. Space marines have +1 toughness. 5. It absolutely would still be a terrible detachment 6. The elite slot in SoB might as well not exist for how terrible it is. 7. You're still getting shot to sh** when you get out, it might take 3 extra bolter shots but you're still going to die. 8. The 5 wound saint is plenty survivable as is, the 3 wound one isn't getting her armor save because she goes down to a single melta shot and that's what people will fire at her.

What I'm getting at is that while you'll generally be better off building your army around a CAD, you can always sprinkle the Vestal Task Force on top if you just happen to want to take units that fit into that detachment. It's probably not a very competitive choice, but it's there for those rare occassions when it does what you're looking for.

And honestly? i don't personally put a ton of stock in obsec most of the time. It's good, but not amazing. I could see myself occassionally just wanting to pick up some 1s and save some sisters instead of being super-scoring.

Also, some of us play a non-zero number of Eternal War missions. In which case, obsec only matters at the very end of the game whereas the rerolling saves benefit matters on a turn of your choice.

I'd give it a solid B. You probably won't use it in tournaments, but you won't hate yourself for using it in casual games either. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9180371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9180371.page GMT Re:Adepta sororitas detachments in Imperial Agents CAD base is Skitarii. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9180392.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9180392.page GMT Adepta sororitas detachments in Imperial Agents

You're 100% right for book missions, but a lot of tournament scenarios have some aspect of flag-capping to them. In those situations it's very useful to have ObSec units, especially vehicles.

2. For an MSU force getting a turn of Power armor rerolling 1's is really nice.

It's not bad, but ObSec is still what I'd prefer. I mean, you're rerolling 1s. Half of your Sisters who fail armour saves and almost everyone rolling SoF will still die. If your opponent scores lots of wounds but has has a limited number of AP3/2/1 options (i.e. Eldar, Tau) it will save a bunch of models, otherwise it's largely wasted. It also doesn't get your Sisters out of combat which is where they tend to die the most.

All that said, the CAD only makes your Troops ObSec and the Detachments aren't mutually exclusive - you could run some BSS in your CAD and your support stuff in a VTF. It does mean paying the Elites tax for the VTF though, which is... not good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9180393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9180393.page GMT Re:Adepta sororitas detachments in Imperial Agents

Go nuts, use either of those for any book

don't have to use the specialized detachments or the metadetachments unless you want to and decide they're to your benefit.

This is also correct.

This. These formation have always been there and they're Apoc only courtesy of GW FAQ brainmelt...seriously, why ban these formations from normal games? Purge squadron? Fair enough, it uses apoc blast templates but is so easily broken it's not funny. Repentant host? The super squishies and the wet-paper Walker? They don't even really get anything out of it. Angelic host? These girls literally get nothing but the ability to deep strike at start of any turn.
The squads have to be maxed out. They're such costly formations with few returns. I really don't know what GW were smoking to say "no" to these formations. (Angelic host is fun) seriously, there's plenty formations in other armies with more benefits and more powerful units that

Imperial Agents contains Formations and the units they can include in them. The units in ther Imperial Agents book are forthe Vestal Fiormation. It no more replaces the Sisters of Battle Codex than the Grey Knight section replaces Grey Knights.

i wouldn't say the Walkers are wet paper... i had a squad of them walk through a landraider the other day and kept on walking.
and the Angelic Host gets shred as well. which is useful.

It has 3 on each side and then the back hatch is two more. The actual model even has 3 ports on each side to allow guns to poke out.

No possible way all 8 are facing the same target.

It really depends on the target. There's only about a 2 inch separation of the two sides. Since they are mounted on both sides you caaaan carefully aim the repressor at a lot of monsterous creatures and still hit them. Otherwise it works wonders on blobs of people.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9194898.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/716472/9194898.page GMT
