Devastaor squad for SISTER

Well give us your feedback.  Is there anything the Sisters cant handle?  Can you give Sisters las cannons and missle launchers?  Or more to the point should the be changed so they can?

The Sisters' limited armoury is one of the things that makes them unique.

Lascannons really go against the "cleansing heretics with purifying flame" ideal of the Sisters.  Giving them these weapons just makes them into another SM chapter.

Our current cheapest long-range solution, autocannon Redemptionists, will probably disappear the next time an official Sisters army list is released.

Don't like it?  Boohoo.  Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

I def agree the sisters need more anti-tank capability.  They do have excosist tank (think i misspelled that), but very random in nature.  Is it also limited to how many shots it can have?  I hear rumors of a codex for the inquisition coming out in 2003 which will include a new army list for the mighty sisters.  Hopefully we will see some great changes to their army, maybe even having detachments or something. :)

     Greetings!

     If I were to make any changes to the Sisters of Battle list, I would include some way for Sisters to effect high T units in an Assault. As it is, it is all but impossible for Sisters to get numerous units with things such as Power Fists on target at once. IC commanders and suchlike can get Power Fists, why not the Sisters? They seem to be stuck in the cleft stick of being an army good only at close range... but poor in Assault.

     In short, any army that needs to struggle to *would* Eldar in Assaults needs some work. Even the Tau can get effective Assault troops... but not the Sisters...

Tau can get effective assulttroops? Thats a new one....

FYI Sisters can be quite good CC troops if you use the passion.

I dunno what you're smoking, but it must be the good stuff.

Have you ever seen Redemptionists fielded?  With an Act of Passion, they're 64 S3 and 8 S6 Chainfist attacks on the charge.  Oh yeah, they're fearless too.  Throw in some Divine Guidance (that many rolls is ~10.6 6's on average), and you have one of the hardest assault squads in the game.
