Helping out some of my pupils to start playing in the school league, one is going to be borrowing my models... here's the deal

 

no 2+ saves, no models with over 2 wounds, no total armour over 33 (no exo then)

 

10 sisters (flamer, heavy flamer, vss, combi flamer, book, rhino, ea smoke)

 

10 sisters (2 meltaguns, vss, combi flamer, book, rhino, ea smoke)

 

Immolator(smoke)

 

exactly 500 points only 2 faith but no canoness allowed, the rules seem to be made to ruin my 2 armies (orks also)

 

any ideas? i was also thinking about a dh build like this..

 

inquisitor (2 gun servs, h bolter plasma cannon, 2 sage, 2 mystic)

 

6 ISTs(2 plasma, rhino, smoke)

5 ISTs(2 melta, rhino, smoke)

 

eversor

 

but seems a little troop light

This be combat patrol rules. 40k in 40min ect

 

First list doesnt look that bad. If you put all your anti-tank into one squad you may face some problems.

 

Maybe if this was in the list forum you may get more help.

My old SoB Combat patrol list:

 

(81pts)

Palatine w/ Eviserator, Bolt Pistol, Jump Pack

 

(135pts)

5 Celetians w/ 1x Heavy Bolter + Immolator

 

:) (184pts)

Vet + 9 Sisters w/ 1x Meltagun + Rhino

 

400pts, 3 faith, CP legal

 

If I were to up it to 500pts, I might add a second Immolator (Heavy) and use the rest of the points to add a Heavy Flamer to the Battle Sister Squad, and probably swap the Celestian Heavy Bolter for two Meltaguns.

At the 500pt limit there's a few things worth considering.

 

My first suggestion has got to be Penetent engines if they are available. These were almost made with these restrictions in mind and they are devastating in these types of small points games. That said there's not much room for troops once you've got a couple of these in your list but it's well worth the sacrifice.

 

The next thing I'd suggest is dropping the rhinos and using the points for troops. It's true that there'll not be much in the way of large anti armour on the table but although your rhinos will be able to speed around the table the 4/5 extra bodies could prove to be invaluable, especially to somone who isn't 100% up on the rules.

 

The immolator is also a great idea and well worth running.

I like what ArmouredWing said about the rhinos. It is far more practical to kill in these small games than to objective grab tactically. I don't know about the Engine idea but hey, would probably scare the crap out of some of the guys. To change up your list, I would just take meltas in both squads w/ VSS and book, two immolators w/ EA and then a palatine with litanies and combi flamer. jeffersonian000's list doesn't look that bad either.
