Azatoth Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So with the Codex:Inquistion out, we get access to at least 2 interesting upgrades. Access to Divination with yummy stuff like Foreboding (Overwatch at full BS) and Perfect Timing (Psyker and Unit gains Ignore Cover) to just list 2 of the powers which boost a shooty AS army. But what I want to set up for discussion here is what I call the Celestial Chorus, the Combo of Exorcist Missle Launchers and Servo Skulls. ...friendly blast templates placed within 12″ of a Servo-skull roll one D6 less for scatter. I think this supports the Exorcist heavy lists even more, but I guess we have to go with what is given to us. Also Servo Skull limit Scouting and Infiltration which will give us more time to shoot. Please let me know your ideas about the new options given to the AS in regard to this as well as other less obvious options C:I unlocks (Like Longrange hvy weapons via an Ape Circus).

vonny Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 except the exorcist is heavy D6, not heavy D6 blast. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283476-celestial-chorus/#findComment-3525119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I don't see how Exorcists and servo skulls would interact. The 1 die scatter from skulls is not something an AS army would gain use from since the only blast weapon they have is a frag grenade.

WAR Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Not liking your ideas...sorry Sisters dislike abhumans and aliens so jokero would be a no go. Also why out a psyker in a unit in an army that is know for killing them as witches.

Fibonacci Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Also why [put] a psyker in a unit in an army that is [known] for killing them as witches. You do realize that the book that gave them the reputation as witch killers (Codex: Witch Hunters) included Inquisitors along with other psykers as a main part of the army, right?

WAR Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Yes but also shield of faith didn't allow them from benefit from psykers iirc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283476-celestial-chorus/#findComment-3525177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatoth Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Not liking your ideas...sorry Sisters dislike abhumans and aliens so jokero would be a no go. Also why out a psyker in a unit in an army that is know for killing them as witches. A lisenced, soulbound psyker is not a witch per definition. except the exorcist is heavy D6, not heavy D6 blast. I don't see how Exorcists and servo skulls would interact. The 1 die scatter from skulls is not something an AS army would gain use from since the only blast weapon they have is a frag grenade. This is a major fumble on my side, I repent! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283476-celestial-chorus/#findComment-3525263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yes but also shield of faith didn't allow them from benefit from psykers iirc The old C:WH Shield of Faith rocked! The Adepta Sororitas represent the epitome of faith and purity – witchcraft, heresy and mutation are anathema to them. Force weapons lose their ability to kill their target outright, simply count them as power weapons. Psychic powers targeted against any unit or character with the Adepta Sororitas special rule, or including them in its area of effect, are nullified and will not work on a D6 roll of 5+ (roll once for each power, even if it affects several Adepta Sororitas units). Minor psychic powers have no effect on Adepta Sororitas units or characters at all, even those used by friendly psykers that would have a beneficial effect on them. Immune to force weapons and minor psychic powers. Not that 40K has minor powers any more.

Faithwing Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Dang, I wish the Exorcist was Heavy D6, Blast. Even the WD Rending Retributors couldn't compete with that!

*Furyou Miko Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 lol, yeah... I think that if it was Blast, nobody would ever agree to play Sisters because the Exorcist would literally kill everything. The only things that it wouldn't be better against is Riptides, and even then it would slaughter them if they took drones.
