Email in: A sisters of battle list looking for advice.

CoolMiniOrNot


"Hi Kirby

Your blog is one of my favorites for 40k related information.

So I've decided to shoot a list at you to tear a part if you have the time.

My friend is a Sisters of battle player, since the white dwarf dex Ive been trying to help him throw a new list together.

I don't have a lot of list building experience but my friend has even less, Learned a lot of what I know from 3++ :)

We put this together for 1500pt games since that seems to be popular at our local game store. We feel its pretty solid and should be able to do something other then roll over dead when space marines look at them.

From what Ive seen you and the other authors and your readers tend to have pretty solid advice.

Thank you for your time and hope to hear back.

HEAVY

Exorcist X2 270pt

Penitent engine X3 255pt

The basic plan is to scout the Dominion squads forward, Use the Exorcists to try and remove some armor at range and to kill things trying to "kite" the penitent engines. Sisters take objectives or shield the Exorcists. Celestine is going to join up with the Seraphim and just try to get into the enemy's lines."


Replace Seraphim with Dominions and give Dominions combi-meltas instead of Storm Bolters on their Superiors. Celestine is a fine beatstick alone and she can hide pretty easily. Engines are pretty blargh and I'd rather see another Exorcist or Retribution squad with Heavy Bolters here. Gives you some ranged anti-infantry which can ping tanks in a pinch. The SoB squads are neh. Multi-melta and something please. I'm happy with the Immolator option and then deploying the SoBs on foot but running melta/combi-flamer/MM/Rhino gives them more durability (they are T3 remember) and mobility.

Any spare points should go into Jacobus + DCA retinue for another beatstick/counter-charge unit.

It seems like this is the same advice I give for all SoB lists atm *sad face*.
