Bucky Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hey guys, Getting back into 40k after a long stint of Warmachine. I haven't read the rules for 5th, but wanted to know if mechanized SOB still work? Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155473-does-mech-sisters-still-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogeloo Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Mech Sisters still works and is actually quite competitive in 5th edition. Sisters got a bit of a boost indirectly both to mulitple templates and tank movement and shooting rules.

Mosk Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hey Bucky, (my name is bucky too :D ) any ways, ya as said previously the mech sisters is actually probably the most effective way to play sisters.

Grand Master Iapetus Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Wow - really nice work on your sisters the blue is a great change from the red / black / white of the inquisition. I also took a blue them for my Inquisition / GK / Sisters army. Those girls definitely deserve to come out of retirement and kick some heretic butt! Ave Emperator !!!

Imperator Mos Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That'll do it. Get 'em on the table. But if I had to change anything... HB Retributors, and more Seraphim.

WarriorFish Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I really like those models, especially the Rhinos (though I confess I'm a rabid tread head)! So yes, they certainly deserve to be cleansing the galaxy once more. Judging from your list, things haven't really changed much too, it looks pretty solid. Though get the Book of St Lucius on those VSSs for some smiley SoB faces <_< Ave Imperator indeed! :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155473-does-mech-sisters-still-work/#findComment-1841486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks for all the comments. So I played my first game of 5th. The biggest thing I found is that there are MANY, MANY more cover saves. I only played a small game. I have a larger one planned for tomorrow night. Later!

AkiraCho Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 mobile/mech sisters work amazingly, ive been working with lots of immolators and flamer squads supported by 3 excorcists and melta/multi melta squads in rhinos and such very good stuff very effective in 5th Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155473-does-mech-sisters-still-work/#findComment-1843923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in smaller games. Other than that I like the way they roll. Pun intended! Chow.

In annihilation games, KP are still fairly balanced for the Sisters, and even if we have more available, it just means we have less targets and an easier time getting that Massacre. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155473-does-mech-sisters-still-work/#findComment-1844713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungboy Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If you can, use the updated IA2 rules for your Rhinos, makes them vastly cheaper compared to the Codex price.

Toogeloo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 If you can, use the updated IA2 rules for your Rhinos, makes them vastly cheaper compared to the Codex price. Is that allowed? I mean "tournament legal"? Generally... no. I don't use Forge World myself since many of the people in my area don't use the rules. In tournaments they are also generally illegal. If you work it out with your opponent before the game, you might be able to field some of their stuff. Thing is, yes, they try to bring balance to the vehicles that some forces of the Imperium got while the other forces are still outdated, but they also brought completely broken rules to the game as well (Deathstorm Drop Pods, e.g.). Since some of their rules are still considered playtested, you wont find a tourney that will generally allow them. Also, FW doesn't take into consideration the balance factor. We have cheaper units (11 point Sisters) compared to the more expensive models in the Imperium. Having more expensive vehicles seems to balance it a bit more in my opinion. My recommendation, do as I do, get by with FW rules, make lists that use the codex only. We are still pretty good without IA2 updates, very competitive even, and the only reason to really use IA2 (imo) is to cheese out your list further, because we really don't need it.
