BLACK BLΠFLY Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I want to take an allied squad of SoB (troop choice) for my 2500 point BA list /Ard Boyz. I have 285 points to play around with. I want the squad mechanized. What do suggest? 0b :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Laen Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hey BO! I can help you over here! The makeup of the squad will lay entirely on what your aiming for.. here is a decent AV setup. 10 sister squad/w Vet sister superior Imagifier Meltagunx2 Combi-Melta Rhino Extra Armor Holy Icon Hunter Killer Missle Search Light Smoke Launchers (263 pts) You can also swap the melta guns for a flamer and a heavy flamer and toss the Vet a Combi-Flamer SoB squads can only be fielded in minimum of 10 woman squads. So.. untless you wanted to drop the Rhino for about... maybe 5-7 more sisters.. that is about what you will be looking at.. give or take a few more items for your vet sister. Edit: something to keep note of.. as far as the codex is concerned the Holy Icon will also affect your Blood Angels.. giving them +1 leadership on moral checks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2084640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 What does the Imagifier do? How many faith points comes with the squad? I was think of running the sister superior with an eviscerator. I want to keep the unit mech so they'll run in a rhino. What is the minimum number of Battle Sisters you can run in a squad ? I'd like to put a priest in the unit if possible. Thanks! 0b :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2084671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Laen Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 What does the Imagifier do? How many faith points comes with the squad? The Imagifier is a battle sister that comes with a Simulacrum Imperialis (holy symbols, bones of a saint), Allows you to roll one extra die when rolling for the 'Test of Faith' and allows you to pick the two rolls that you want. I was think of running the sister superior with an eviscerator. I want to keep the unit mech so they'll run in a rhino. What is the minimum number of Battle Sisters you can run in a squad ? I'd like to put a priest in the unit if possible. Thanks! 0b :lol: The Eviscerator can work. I know I can't say point values on here but if you ditches the combi-melta you could pick that up with no problems on the point limit. Unfortunately, Sisters can only be picked in squad sizes of 9-19 + a sister superior. So unless you can find a way to fit more people into the Rhino.. to add a priest you would need to foot slog the girls. Hope this helps. <faint smile> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2084688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Okay sans priest then... Oh well. I think I am going with a mix of meltagun, heavy flamer and an eviscerator all rolling in a rhino. 0b Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2084725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodwynDi Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I would say drop the imagifer, it will shave off quite a few points from that, and is rarely needed.

the jeske Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 10 sister squad/w Vet sister superiorImagifier Meltagunx2 Combi-Melta Rhino Extra Armor Holy Icon Hunter Killer Missle Search Light Smoke Launchers of course you do understand that this squad is illegal. I personally would go with a unit of serafin or dominions with maximum flamers or melta depending what your army needs. that or a canonnes as a tar pit unit , but I really dont know why BA would need that with their specials.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 It has to be an allied troop choice.

GodwynDi Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nothing illegal about it. Two melta gun squads are perfectly legal for SoB. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2085192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Captain Laen Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Jeske... naughty naughty. I am surprised no one has mentioned Book of St. Lucius yet. 0b :P Because only Heroine's can use the book. So.. if you gave this part of your force a sacrificial heroine with the book that could work.. just make sure you use the book before you sacrifice her for the extra faith point.

So.. if you gave this part of your force a sacrificial heroine with the book that could work.. just make sure you use the book before you sacrifice her for the extra faith point. You've mixed up the Book of St. Lucius with Litanies of Faith. Books can be taken by Superiors, and have a different effect (not to mention that they're a much better value and universally considered obligatory for SoB squads), 10 sister squad/w Vet sister superiorImagifier Meltagunx2 Combi-Melta Rhino Extra Armor Holy Icon Hunter Killer Missle Search Light Smoke Launchers (263 pts) The Imagifer isn't worth its point cost for a squad that will only make a single Test of Faith. Holy Icons and Hunter-Killers also aren't that much of a value, as with all those upgrades the squad's Rhino is costs far too much. Rhinos die too easily to spend so much on them, especially when Sisters of Battle already pay an old-codex premium on them. For Sisters allied with Blood Angels I'd just find a way to put them in a BA Rhino, which has better stats for a lower cost than an SoB one.

Justicar Valius Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 drop imagifier and the rhino, take a BA rhino you won't be using and you get extra points for other stuff like book and evicserator although i don't know if you could get both as i don't know points cost as i don't have codex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176338-allied-sob-squad-for-blood-angels/#findComment-2092140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Orlock Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 10 sister squad/w ... b]Meltagunx2[/b]... of course you do understand that this squad is illegal. You surprise me Jeske. The 'a's after the colon indicate that the bolters are swapped for one flamer/meltagun each. Not that it would serve any purpose to have a sister with two meltaguns.
