Respectable number of Sisters

[Captain Hajime]

As a Rule of Thumb How many sisters in Ten woman Squads are acceptable as Respectiable in a Witchhunter force? [Middle Ground 2000 Points]

 

Is the Troop size better is some other form of Squad number like 15 or something?

[WAR]

most players like to field their sister squads at ten in a rhino and at that points I would say about 4 squads of ten in rhinos would be about right after the 3 exorcists, seraphim squads, and flying nun

 

me I perfer running my squads at 14 (odd number but I only have so many sisters with bolters) models for a total of 5 to 6 squads but I like running a horde list (my 1850 hordel list is 101 models all sisters)

I think of 3+ SoB squads being a good number for most games - at 2000pts I'd be thinking of 4 as a minimum. Even if you're taking non-mechanised larger squads I'd still aim for the same unit numbers since I think it's important to have multiple squads to you have options.

 

Especially since a large squad is less mobile than a mechanised one and is vulnerable to being tied up (or worse) in close combat. As war009 said 14 is a good number for larger squads as it provides a good model count without being too lumbering or expensive (or a CC lure!).

 

As with most things it comes down to what you do with the rest of your army but generally speaking with regards to the current way the game plays that's how I go about it.

Agreed with the others, 4 sqauds is a good number for 2000 points, and you can still field a reasonable list with five or even six sisters squads.

[Apogee]

At 2K, I'd take 3-4 Rhino mounted squads (depends on what else you're taking) and one big-ass footsloging squad (at least 14, 20 if possible) to sit on an objective and provide a firebase.
