pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yeah, I feel you. I'm still testing though and certainly welcome all the feedback I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I think that Sisters are going to work really well as a mixed force. I would have a core of Sisters on foot with some Rets as an infantry core. Maybe have a penitent engine or two near them to be a melee bully. Then I'd have a fast element of either Rhino riders or Seraphim or both. At that point include either Exorcists or inducted IG artillery (Basilisk is looking GOLDEN to me right now).

fluger Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The army seems to have all the tools to be effective. Anti horde you have bolter spam at good BS and lotsa flamers (I have a feeling that seraphim with dual hand flamers getting two rounds of shooting being BAD news for my boyz) and they have melta in spades for the tough stuff. The only weak point is having stuff to take out tough stuff at long range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yeah, amusingly enough, I think I have horde covered pretty well. I'm a bit concerned about heavy stuff, which is usually my opposite problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Exorcists seem like a reasonable answer at range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 So the problem I'm running into now is just minor WYSIWYG. In the past, the difference between a Chainsword and a Sword was non-existent, so tons of my models have knives, axes, swords, etc for their secondary close combat weapon. I'm faced with either swapping them all (a daunting prospect) or getting an exception from each TO. Lastly, I need to see how many of my Redemptionists actually have lasguns instead of 2xPistol or Pistol/CCW, since conscripts have Lasguns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Aha, I have 41! Perfect (counts a couple guys who will need some shoulder slung lasguns and a couple that were missing arms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 It would save me a lot of painting if I got a WYSIWYG pass for all the ones with wacky weapons. I miss the days when Redemptionists just had everything count as LP/CCW no matter what they were carrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Also, I need to find a use for the crap tons of Zealots (Redemptionists with Eviscerators) that I have gotten over the years. I guess they could be repentia, but they still suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is going to be a nightmare for most of my MEq Armies. I've got all kinds of converted CCWs on there. Pretty sure I'm going to go for trying to get people let them all Count As Chainswords.

pretre Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I figured I'd do a pic of what I'm doing to make my extra 6 HB Sisters. This is quick and dirty and I only used enough glue to hold it in place for the pic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Looks good. The conscripts can be a useful tarpit or objective holder. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, normal 2+ AoF only affects people with the AoF keyword. Both Celestine and Imagifer have different wording that affects different units and does not require the AoF keyword. They require either Ordo keyword or Adepta Sororitas keyword, both of which vehicles have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like morale bubbles worked in 7th Ed: sure a rhino within 12" of karamazov can re-roll morale, but it doesn't take morale checks. Similarly an imagifier or Celestine could activate AoF on an exorcist, but they don't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Re-read the AoF section. I posted it in the OP. Normal: On a 2", one unit with AoF can perform an AoF. Celestine: Pick a friendly AS unit and they can perform an AOF. The action 'Act of Faith' is separate from the ability 'AoF'. The ability does not say 'This ability grants you the ability to perform an act of faith. It just references how they work. I agree that it is probably not intended to work the way I have interpreted, but until they FAQ it, it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 It doesn't really matter for this list, unless I want to AOF the Immolators, which I would be unlikely to do since they will be far away from the Imagifers and Celestine generally needs her own AOF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
