Naminé Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hello again, So my current sisters setup is running 1 loss, 1draw and 2 wins, but I will soon be playing against Space Wolves for the first time with any army! From a purely sisters perspective then, what should I be looking out for, and what units do you recommend I include? Thanks in advance.

*Furyou Miko Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Anything that can OHKO his rune priest. :D Exorcists are excellent against terminators and long fangs. Don't let him engage in melee, even more so than regular marines. Can't rely on night fighting either, since he totally ignores it.

So I should go with a shooty-shooty army; but do you think it would be worth taking a unit of DCA, Repentia, or Pen. Engines for counter-assault? I have absolutely no idea what special weapons would be best to take on the BSS. thanks for the reply Furyou!

Acute Senses simply allows Outflanking units to re-roll the board edge they move on from.

*Furyou Miko Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Oh, right, forgot they don't have AS/NV, just AS. Rune Priests just wreck everything. Personally I'd go for shooty-shooty. Death Cult Assassins might be able to go toe to toe with basic Wolf infantry, but against their CC specialists they'll just be overwhelmed.

Naminé Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well the game is tonight, so I'll let you know what happens :p I decided to go with 3 squads of sisters, 1 doms with meltas, some retributors with heavy flamers and a simulcrum (hopefully they'll get lucky) and 2 exorcists. I'm also taking a unit of DCA with jacobus, but have dropped the Seraphim :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270221-tips-vs-space-wolves/#findComment-3295289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naminé Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well, things didn't go quite to plan; in that my opponant stood me up! :( However, I found a game vs orks, which were also fairly new to me (I've only played them once before and it was a different guy. He had an Aegis line, dakkajet, 3 squads of lootas and a big unit of boyz in a truck thing. He also had Gretchin and a big scary biker gang with the Boss. Long story short, I won 14-3 (we played the scouring) highlights included roasting a unit of Lootas with the retri squad, Celestine pwning everything she came across and The death cult being called Broken after they put 15 invulnerable saves on his warlord! The battle conclave was MVP whilst the Exorcists really failed. I'm sure had I actually played Wolves they would have done better, however :) So thanks B&C for the help!

*Furyou Miko Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah, Exorcists against Orks are a losing proposition. :D They just don't have any serious targets, unless the enemy are fielding a big squad of Meganobz or something.
