Too abrupt. :(<br /><br />Needs to continue in the same vein, with an analysis (heh, anal!) of what you could build instead, by taking the Immos - and why this is more synergistic. :)<br /><br />Explaining it in the comments below is simply an inferior way of doing this. It's frankly too easy to get into that mire, but you're better than that.TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-22549469295597838302010-06-07T11:01:14.528+10:002010-06-07T11:01:14.528+10:00@BroLo; not too much competition, lack of synergy ...@BroLo; not too much competition, lack of synergy in relation to what SoB do best. The ACs aren't fantastic but they'll be putting out some decent suppression fire which is what the list 'needs.'<br /><br />@Hospitaller; even in a pure SoB list you'd want Immos in Heavy Support otherwise you suffer from the same weak push as the aforementioned list (you'd be sitting around with 8 Immos + 2-3 Rhinos). This also means you've got no where for ISTs to hijack and if you're not using ISTs you don't have as much melta as before which keeps with the army synergy making your army a tougher nut to crack.<br /><br />As BroLo insinuated, it's not a bad tank but in relation to the army SoB field, it makes the army less cohesive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-28997788407294068702010-06-07T08:49:39.138+10:002010-06-07T08:49:39.138+10:00I was going to make an attempt to create a ranged ...I was going to make an attempt to create a ranged WH/IG list with Exorcists, but even with a brief amount of thought... IG will fill 'heavy' slots more effectively. 3 flak tanks per slot is probably a better use of them... but there are definitely better sources for such advice.<br /><br />I do like the list, but will just 7 BS3 autocannons be sufficient ranged fire support? I suppose with 11 melta units approaching your lines you've got bigger things to be worried about so the dakka can just keep on dakka'ing.<br /><br />But what you're trying to tell is.... okay tank, too much competition?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-90744994738324917922010-06-07T04:39:52.004+10:002010-06-07T04:39:52.004+10:00This site is mostly about making competitive armie...This site is mostly about making competitive armies, though we do have our hobby elements.<br /><br />This said, we do like the idea of as many options in a codex being top-notch, or even playable. The more good army types that can be built from units interacting properly with one another, then the more variety 40k has.<br /><br />Which is why we like all the new codexes; even if you went the pure fluff route, decided to go for (as an example) Catachan Jungle infantry with Sentinel Support, at worst your army will be semi-competitive. Contrast with something like running Foot Grey Knights or a Firewarrior gunline. Making fluffy armies playable in-game (rather than comping armies for not being fluffy), means everyone wins.MagicJugglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389692084919259441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-48796171157301904172010-06-07T04:16:21.209+10:002010-06-07T04:16:21.209+10:00Many who play Sisters of Battle wants to play, wel...Many who play Sisters of Battle wants to play, well, Sisters of Battle. Not a few Sisters and an entire entourage of Imperial Guard and Inquisitorial Storm Troopers.<br /><br />Even if it might be better the margin is so small that a thematic Sisters of Battle force hardly ends up being in a worse position when compared to a mixed force.<br /><br />In a pure Sisters of Battle force the Exorcist is very much a functional addition, even though it is random and suffers from the mentioned drawbacks. <br /><br />Not every option in a codex is (or indeed has to be) top notch but that doesn't mean that they are incapable of pulling their weight or add functionality to a list.Sister Hospitallernoreply@blogger.com
