PureFodder Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 With the 40k Escalation expansion rumored for next month that will add a superheavy slot into the FOC of each army, what do you think this will mean for the Adepta Sororitas? Will we get Baneblades, Thunderhawks, or a cold shoulder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Probably the shivers, but we do have access to them via apoc rules anyway. I have one built just for my sisters I call the Flame Blade and use the rules for the nurgle plague reaper. Works just fine except I have it at 525 pts. Load out is front mount exorcist and TL hvy bolters, sponson twin linked multi meltas and hvy bolters, turret flame blade cannon and pintle storm bolter.

WarriorFish Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Usually not much, but we're not the only army that has a few question marks regarding this. Assuming of course that the rumours are true then we share similarities with the Space Marines in that we don't directly get Super Heavies (Thunderhawk aside and the few who own one). So does this mean we don't get one? More than likely it'd be "borrowing" a Baneblade if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Going to go with "They won't reprint any datasheets, so we probably won't get anything new added... but we'll get access to what we already have". So, Guard will get a ton, we won't get anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Probably the shivers, but we do have access to them via apoc rules anyway.Problem is Apoc rules give you access to anything and everything - even a Stompa in your Sisters army if you want - but the same won't apply in this expansion most likely. So it'll certainly be interesting to see what, if anything, Sisters get. Then again I'm curious about what marines get as well - or rather if they get anything other than the Thunderhawk, what with the Thunderhawk being kind of a pain to haul around and fit onto a table, not to mention being much too expensive unless they do indeed release it in plastic. In general curious how they'll handle this. But I think in the end it won't matter much as local tournaments etc likely will ban the superheavies anyway.

WarriorFish Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The award for shortest effective description goes to... :P The only caveat I'd add is that sometimes the big guns are particularly nasty with Strength D that will almost certainly wreck any normal 40k unit it hits.

AdmLancel Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The Cloak of St. Aspira was lined with fur for a reason. We'll probably have to ally in some Guard if we want to requisition a Baneblade or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess once she's begged the Ecclesiarchy for a retinue of Sisters, being able to march up to the Munitorium and say "Oi!" must be pretty relaxing.

tvih Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 We'll get what we've always got for super heavies: IG allies.That assumes that the Super Heavy FOC slot can be filled from either primary or allied detachment, and not just the primary one. And I wouldn't bet on that being possible. I'd say it's almost certain that the allied FOC doesn't have a separate Super Heavy FOC slot, as to allow two Super Heavies to be fielded at once.

AdmLancel Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I am assuming it can be filled by an ally, but if not then I suspect the only option we'd have is not taking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hmm. Given the precedence in Horus Heresy, it's possible we'll get Avengers as our Super Heavy FoC - in Massacre, they're a Lord of War choice for a Legiones Astartes army or a Fast Attack choice for an Ordo Reductor Remnants army.

PureFodder Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 The answer to the question of what do SoB get from the Escalation expansion is now in......... Sisters of battle get absolutely nothing despite GW advertising it as having Lord of War options for all armies. Good job GW, good job.....

heron Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Its a disappointment. I was hoping to convert a Stormlord to be a Sororitas mobile convent... Still might, but it would be have been better not to have to include a handful of Guardsmen to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
