Re: [BTSS] Sisters Veh.

Meh to power gaming options sisters are strong enough as it.is. They can take on any army as it is even with the crappy wd codex they always have been incredibly competitive it's the limited options that suck and of course the price there aren't many people out there that are going to spend £300 to field 30 seraphim with the living saint but they are easily a formidable choice to face that gives an oh shit factor to anyone on the recieving end of them the same goes for fielding 9 penitent engines with all those extra attack for unsaved wounds (and there will be a lot) or even the assaulting sisters repentia can cause nightmares for many players from what i've seen of army lists everyone is stuck.into doing the exact same mechanised sisters lists with a uriah bomb of death cult assains. There are other strategies out there that work just as well not better

more.character would be nice though now thwe inquisition is gone.as they are just space marines with less strength and less choice cavalry may not be to everyone's taste but certainly could provide thaylt extra suprising punch

i'm not denying a flyer would be nice and no doubt if it carried seraphim there would be no end of lists titled the flying nuns of ophelia vii etc. But it just doesn't strike me as very sistery thwley already had access to the vapkyrie with ia and inquisitors it's a change but and with a uriah bomb would probably be more op than the grey knight equivalent in a storm raven but that's it if i played that every game my mates would tell me to get lost they already hae how powerful the living saint is on her own. For how littoe she costs. A giant gunship to fly round the battlefield i couldn't bring myself to take it in small games with their cost and how easy they are to pop and ravage the troops inside when there are other units i could take that would do a lot more for their points.

That said and done if we're talking apoc games i'd kill for a sisters only super heavy optiob i know itthere won't be a specific titan for them with their fluff but a super-sized dread. Or a superheavy tank wouldn't go amiss so long as it has the appropriate amount of burny things on it

each to their own i guess but with sisters for fluffy bits i see ancient.relics protected in the halls of ecclesiarchy for centuries brought out in times of great conflict maybe not pre-heresy but there had to be a lot of sinister tech pre-apostacy

Militia would be nice to see again but i just don't see thwm as cavalry being as a militia was a rag tag group of town folk grabbing whatever weapons thwy had laying around a horse is a lot more expensive than a las pistol or stub gun. I know tueley put thwe option in the the second ed codex it just never sat right with me kinda like all these films you see of the medieval period with virtually everyone having a sword when it would have cost them a year's salary to buy a sword minor thing i know for a fantasy setting with tons of things we'll never see in a million years. But it's just my opinion
as for the rhino variants it kinda comes with the territory of them being space marine clones really atleast they are varied enough not to just be rhinos predators whirlwinds etc

Don't complain about guard being faster than you mostbplayers don't move half their guard army in fear that they won't be able to fire and those that go air borne take the options where they'll regret moving quickly into your eviscerators and mass of flamers and heavy flamera and bolter fire it won't be long before all you have letlft is the flying tin can with an entire army of guns firing on it and nut job nun trying to cut it open ready to cook it's contents /end rant

It would be nice to have some sort of flier even its only a repurposed SM or IG unit (would it really be so hard for GW to pony up one lousy option sprue to make it work?), considering we don't even have a 'centerpiece model', and the Living Saint doesn't match up with all the cool hotness everyone else has.

Having another worthwhile choice in Fast Attack would be awesome and might cut down on the cost of the army a bit since a dominion squad probably costs around 85 dollars US (2 sisters, 1 superior, 2 special wpns, and a rhino\immolator). A single decent vehicle would save around 20 dollars even its a big flier. Across 3 squads thats 60 dollars not to mention it woudl be new and go liek hotcakes for GW.

SIsters hurt for soemthign that actually goes fast. Even IG can outpace Sisters and they don't even get the benefits of the Ecclesiarchy's deep pockets.
