It basically involves running Dark Eldar with either a space marine or space wolves allies in a drop pod. The single drop pod always comes down turn 1 in your opponents face forcing him to deal with it. The same way Vect took over Commorragh by crashing a salamander battle cruiser into The Dark City just on a smaller scale. I allow myself a rare smile whenever pull this trick off. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976723143092620262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-34482583010155979252013-02-06T10:36:15.096-08:002013-02-06T10:36:15.096-08:00You're welcome, and correct.

If you go through previous posts, you will find a number of other articles o nthe Sisters of Battle that might also give you some perspective.<br /><br />This force I just detailed gives you SO much flexibility in deployment, a lot of speed and the firepower is probably obvious to you. The more elite the enemy is, the better it does because elite armies cannot handle the attrition like we can and their attacks mean less to us. they simply aren't chipping away at our offense fast enough most of the time even though we take losses readily. Kinda like orcs only with Power armor. =).Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-17854775600463907712013-02-06T05:12:16.495-08:002013-02-06T05:12:16.495-08:00I have to say I really like this list and thank yo...I have to say I really like this list and thank you for taking the time to do up this for me. It looks like a really fun army to play and u dont see any sister's of battle so it will catch many people off guard. Thanks again! <br /><br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098743162209825371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-51058055485511555402013-02-05T23:22:23.616-08:002013-02-05T23:22:23.616-08:00The Sisters of Battle "protect" the Bast...The Sisters of Battle "protect" the Bastion, providing violent suppression fire against the approaching enemy and punishing those who would Deep strike against them or attempt to take their valuable objectives. Their Rhino is dontaed to Sisters Repentia. The second Sisters of Battle unit will likely be a reserve unit in all but the Relic missions.<br /><br />Attacking at range is the Dread, cycling its cannons into the enemy armor with help from the Quadgun and providing vital Psyker defense. Next to or around it will be the second Pillbox, The Chimera with the two Lascannon wielding Weaponsmiths inside, possibly assisted by their Psyker master. They are defended ably by their bodyguards against charges and capable of winning a close combat as well! The Crusaders and Deathcult Assassins are potent in the first round of combat and of course overwatch will be painful for any enemy, what with three flamers floating in the unit. it is a multipurpose unit for sure. <br /><br />Note that all the Rhinos are armed with First blood Seeking Missiles (my name, nothing official), giving the first round a solid punch at the enemy and a good chance of opening up enemy armor or just high priced units like Honour Guards, Dark Angel Biker Squads and their damnable Teleport Homers and so on. If not needed they may also be vital last ditch tools to kill Aerial attackers.<br /><br />Sisters Repentia are there to defend against DS, then to advance on the enemy if necessary. They hide behind or in rhinos. Which brings us to....<br /><br />The Dominion form the spearhead and are accompanied by the Retributors. These two squads can singlehandedly win you the Relic mission, and they can outflank when going second if they need to in other missions. These units are easily the best weapons in your arsenal here, especially if all the firepower in the midfield can be successful in forcing troops out of their shells. If there are no shells, all the better for you.<br /><br />St. Celesting is a unit unto herself. She can lead the charge or defend the Sisters Repentia! Her 2+ armor and ressurrection ability is truly awesome. HINT: Going second means you will always get a chance to avoid "Slay the Warlord!". So while not optiimal to go second, it's something to keep in mind. Taking her up one side and keeping eyes on her is a diversionary tactic that I think you will find draws much more fire than is actually healthy for the enemy. Who can resist little old her all alone in the wilderness...<br /><br />Uriah really helps the army and geneerally goes with the Sisters Repentia. On rare occassion when the Retributors are necessary later in the game, I may put him in their unit to keep them alive, but I find the Sisters Repentia to benefit the most from his presence.<br /><br />Try it. This gives more reliable long range shooting than the Exorcist, gives you anti-aircraft ability, First Blood is easy to get when going first, Saturation is good and the enemy cannot focus on any one thing and cripple you. No component is so necessary to the overall strategy that you can't afford to lose it.<br /><br />Questions?Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-25579235779858138522013-02-05T22:57:45.361-08:002013-02-05T22:57:45.361-08:00Yes, Cult Review is in the works!

When I use them or play against them it offers a very cinematic experience and I come away from the battle very happy. The Eldar army I have usually finishes around mid table at some of the tournaments ive been to here in ireland but I wonder will an Inquisition themed army fair better? I recon it would :) looking forward to checking out what you come up with.<br /><br />John.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098743162209825371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-14907645790204749052013-02-05T16:55:02.076-08:002013-02-05T16:55:02.076-08:00WHAR CULT REVIEW?!WHAR CULT REVIEW?!APZachariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049404039602583132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-88365809670686294842013-02-05T13:54:09.873-08:002013-02-05T13:54:09.873-08:00I think Highly of the idea on several fronts.

And thirdly, that combination took second place at NOVA and continues to get good results in the general arena of tournament. I have many tournament wins with Sisters of Battle and Grey Knights do fine. I will work on a list tonight for you, but i don't think you need to fear that the list will lose. The question in all lists you build is, "how do I USE what I have here?". So I will give you the list, but will include some tactics with it. I think that's th more critical issue in wins and losses anyways, not the list. As you can see in past posts, or if you know people who I have fought, I have used some unusual things to great effect. Check back late in the day tomorrow as I will need some time to work on it.Unorthodoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577407895720451428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717820694387825462.post-37366861508089039392013-02-05T09:45:53.979-08:002013-02-05T09:45:53.979-08:00Hi there,
A very nice blog and a very interesting...Hi there,<br /><br />A very nice blog and a very interesting article. I have a question for you though. I am a big themed army player. I currently run with a completely fluffy Eldar Saim Hann Jetbike army and love it but I recently bought a box of grey knight terminators because I like the look of them. This then got the juices flowing about a fully themed Inquisition army made up of Grey Knights and Sisters of battle. I know they are only allies of convenience but that doesn't bother me. Have you any thoughts on how you could come up with a 2000pts list comprised of sisters and grey knights that wouldnt lose painfully all the time? I love the idea of saint celestine and grey knight terminators and retributors in my list but im easy after that. Cheers mate!<br />John.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098743162209825371noreply@blogger.com
