Trevak Dal Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Seraphim are very specialized, it's difficult to compare them to a marine unit. I view them as a highly mobile, anti infantry, shooty unit. They don't really want to assault most of the time, just maximize that act of faith vs a nice target. I'd say seraphim excel in their role but lack the flexibility compared to the BA equivalent. Sort of like Tau crisis suits in the Firestorm configuration (Burst cannon, missile pod)? My friend who plays sisters tries to assault with his all the time, and after looking at them (my main army is Tau) I pointed this out to him, and he just flat out denied it.

*Furyou Miko Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Against Tau, Seraphim can probably be used as an assault unit But yeah, ok, I'll take knife's explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I still see this as us losing one of our few edges, sure, I did not expect to take them in combat but in shooting, that was where we had the edge. Just not here. Make no mistakes, I have played BA the longest of any of my armies starting back in 94 or 95 but still I don't like the overshadowing. Also BS on that flesh tearer BS, I mean wth was even the point of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I expect it was probably just White Dwarf's usual lazy journalism. Whoever wrote the article kind of half remembered there was an incident with some Flesh Tearers and Sisters on Armageddon, googled it, saw a mention of Argent Shroud on the search summary and shoved it in there. Still, you just know that when we get our full Dark Eldar-style re-release, everyone is just going to look at our army book and say, "huh, so they're BA -1?"

Banjulhu Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 There is a sad possibility that as more imperial books are released that the unique design space that the sisters sit in gets eroded to the point where it becomes pointless to make them because their things is done by other more popular armies.

*Furyou Miko Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 At the moment the only other unit that can have a squad of humans in power armour are the overcosted Inquisitorial Henchmen, I don't think it's likely that they'll give that niche to someone else.

Duke Danse Macabre Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I'm still borderline on plastic kits, where as i do want them I will scream when people start flavout of the monthing sisters after all he old vets have been lovingly loyal for the last decade. Think I'm going to have to start judging people of the number of none metal models are in their armies. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronozoah Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I felt inclined to make some form of crude joke but then realised that I lack the tact or sense of humour to pull it off. Just thought you all should know (apparently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taikishi Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Even though most of my stuff isn't painted (eBay army and haven't settled on a scheme yet), I do love the looks I get from our local gaming store when I show up with my Sisters army. Now if only I can get some effing meltaguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjetto Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I just cut the tips off bolters and added the tips from kroot rifles. Without the hook blades they look like meltaguns. Kinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
