Mechanised Sisters of Battle - 1500 pt Army
« on: July 23, 2005, 12:43:45 PM »
I've decided for my next army that a pure Sisters of Battle army would be a fun choice. I really like the fluff, the models, and the playing style of the Sisters. They also have the advantage that not many people play them (at my GW anyway) and I like to be different.

Having looked through the codex it seems clear that these girls excel at midrange firepower but have very little in the way of long range shooting. Therefore I've decided to try a mobile list to try and capitalise on this. This army is designed to be fast and flexible, whilst still taking a fair amount of special weapons and cramming in as many Sisters as possible.

Opinions/criticisms are welcome!

List looks great, looks deadly.

*Drop the frag grenades from the Celestians
*Get a Celestian veteran with a eviscerator/power weapon
*Switch the flamer for a HF

*Any reason for the storm bolters. You'll be in rapid fire range quickly, so what you need the weapon for

*Extra armour for your Exorcist if you can afford it, (not really needed)

Besides that, your list is great (sulks about not having enough rhinos to make such a cool list :-[)

Thanks  :)

Yeah I will change the storm bolters, most likely to some more flamers/heavy flamers. Celestian with eviscerator..... is appealing, I will see if I can fit something like that in.

I was considering swapping out one of the Dominion squads for a unit of Seraphim. Would this be effective or am i better off sticking with the Dominions flamey goodness?

Seraphin are much better but need around 7/8 starting number so it costs more then the Dominions now.

Seraphin have won games for me  ;D

I would say dominions, they both have their uses though (fluff aswell).

Yeah, take out the storm bolters, useless.  I also think seraphim, you don't have enough anti-tank.  Someone just has to take a land raider and you'll be in trouble.  The exorcist can only kill so much.  With D6 shots, they really are hit and miss.  Get 6, great, get 1, your game has already gone downhill my friend.

I'd also swap the plasma pistol on your cannoness for an inferno, for some tank busting action without the threat of death.  Also, in the celestian squad, go hvy flamer instead of flamer.  It is an assault weapon and would be handier overall when using divine guidance.

Yeah, which is why you use dominion squads with melta-guns.
