Vigrid Of Asgaror Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 With the release of the new Apocalypse rules came a wave of new formations, units and fortifications. This topic is to discuss how Sisters play in Apocalypse, how the new rules will change the way we play and how/or any of the new additions help us in anyway. This topic can cover common lists, effective units and strategies and tactics. This topic will also cover Apocalypse in general. So, Apocalypse and us. Do we go hand in hand or are we destined for failure? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277686-apocalypse-and-us/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswanick Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm hoping my planned force will still be viable in the new edition - Cannonness and squad, 6 squads of Battle Sisters, Dominians, Seraphim, and Repentia all embarked in a Valkyrie formation with the Holy War strategic asset. The entire force enters as a single formation, zooms into the enemy deployment zone, and then disembarks with Rage and Relentless...

andrewm9 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 We'll have to adopt a wait and see attitude I think for now. So far it doesn't look promising given a lack of formations or assets designed for us. This is all based on conjecture at the moment, but the listed formations have been added up and there doesn't seem to be any room for us.

WarriorFish Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 It's less "Apocalypse and us" and more "Apocalypse isn't for us" :( I've pre-ordered the rulebook so I'll be devouring it as soon as I get it but as far as I've heard there's nothing for us. As I've mentioned somewhere else my hope is that there will be a Reload style expansion to Apoc that will be done after we've got our new codex and plastics where GW can give us the love they have so cruelly withheld for so long. I'm not holding out much hope, only the big armies seem to get any number of formations of note - not that it's a guarantee of them being any good.

Vigrid Of Asgaror Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I unfortunately won't be getting my hands on the book for quite a while so, it will be interesting to hear what is in it. As you said, I hope we do get a little something once we get an actual codex.

PureFodder Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'm currently putting together a repentant host which will be mounted in two stormlords which I'm hoping should work quite well.

Sister Rosette Soulknyt Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just ordered the weapon arms for a Reaver Titan that will have close ties with my SoB order, iconograpghy, purity seals, heraldy and flaming banners maybe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277686-apocalypse-and-us/#findComment-3407724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Furyou Miko Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Once again it looks like there's nothing in the book for us. Sigh. So even our Apoc formations are limited to white dwarf, although at least THAT issue is easier to come by (I expect). Where is the love? There is no love. It's depressing...

Vigrid Of Asgaror Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 I would have thought we would have got something, just a little something. To my knowledge (correct me if I am wrong) we are the only army not to get anything from this.

AdmLancel Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Black Templar didn't get a formation as far as I know, don't have the book yet to say for sure, but maybe they can use some Space Marine formations. It's still pretty depressing that the Sisters were once again basically ignored. I wonder if the Sisters are even mentioned in the new Apocalypse. It feels like the Sisters' prayers have gone from praying for a new codex each day to thanking the Emperor every night before bed that another day has passed without GW discontinuing them.

Naminé Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This doesn't look like it will all be doom and gloom; some of the new fortifications for use in 40k for example... I wonder if those gun emplacements can be manned as usual. If so, Retributors will have a field day with 52 s5 rending shots. Even if not, the 8x Icarus Lascannons should spell the end of certain Necron-players fun :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277686-apocalypse-and-us/#findComment-3408815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Once again it looks like there's nothing in the book for us. Sigh. So even our Apoc formations are limited to white dwarf, although at least THAT issue is easier to come by (I expect). Where is the love? There is no love. It's depressing... It could just be that acknowledging Sisters in Apoc lets the cat out of the bag that they will get some love eventually. If they haven't gotten near finishing a Sisters range and rule book, then they've prematurely given hope to those who are near their lowest ebb already. I feel that the Sisters will get their turn in the sun.

Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm pretty surprised they didn't get an update of that "Exorcist Concert" formation from one of the Forgeworld books; it's not based around the metal troops, so the price won't be insane, and it'd provide strong, long-range anti-big-stuff firepower, which is pretty key to apoc. I mean, it would've only taken a page :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277686-apocalypse-and-us/#findComment-3409082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Orlock Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well, we could probably do something with Count Zazz and the Lost and the Damned formation. One high priest and expendable waves of militia.

Rhamnusia Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Whatever paltry mentions in Apoc are pretty overshadowed by how much we're ignored everywhere else. 3 pages in the BRB, almost no mentions in the big 6th ed launch WD, no formations (are the WD ones still valid?), no bundles, no word on the horizon for the next 9 months and I'm still sore about that giant poster of minis in WD not including a single SoB piece. I'm 1 week away from packing my stuff away and starting Warmachine. That's how butthurt I am.

WarriorFish Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 We've all been here before, just got to be resolute and wait it out.
