The Return of the Easy Bake Oven

[Ironheaded]

Right guys, Ive been playing sisters a long time and wanted to share a great recipe for a strong unit you can field that can deal a lot of damage, be used in defense or attack and will be a nut to crack for the opposing player which I have dubbed...... the fire truck. 

 

Ingredients you will need:

 

1 x Repressor - 75points

 

1 x 9 sister Retributor Squad

 

This includes:

 

1 x simulcrum imperialis

4 x heavy flamers

1 x combi flamer on superior

 

Then add a priest, armed with a combi flamer and litanies of faith

 

Unit Total Points - 293 points

 

The "Fire Truck" chucks out 7 templates (5 x heavy flamer, 2 flamer) of which 5 rend instantly (squad not the priest and tanks flamer) because of the priests litanies of faith, and because of the simulcrum they can pump it out twice rending (only heavy flamer second time round). Do not forget that the other wound sisters bolters also rend as well including the simulcrum bearers.

 

Being loaded in a repressor, gives you an armored bunker tank with 8 fire points that you can shoot all of the flamers out of!

 

I have used this many many times and is nigh on an auto include for most of my games!

 

Steam the tank up the board and unleash hell, even if the tank gets popped the amount of rending fire will make the opposing player either avoid or have to direct a lot of his force to deal with it. And if for any reason someone is mad enough to charge you, wall of flame them and the priest will get his buffs in combat and make the squad rock hard, i personally always re roll failed armour and invuls! 

 

Hope you guys like and if it helps you, let me know how it works for you!

 

I've never even seen a Repressor model live, nor found anyone who'd accept it's rules in a game.   But yeah, that unit sounds fun as well as the EasyBakeOven.  I had started the thread off some 3rd Edition nostalgia, which recent codex lets players use again.

I've got six that I cobbled together out of old style Rhinos, bits and bobs and some plasticard. They don't look as good as the official ones, but so far no one has had problems identifying them.

Where I play we're pretty relaxed about such things. The only thing we ask is that you have a copy of the rules handy so your opponent can read them, ask questions if necessary and know what's going on.

Of course, I don't play in tournaments. I'm strictly a beer and pretzels player. (Except I don't drink and am not especially fond of pretzels. What can I say, everyone tells me I'm NQR. )

im pretty sure you can get away with Repressors if you model them with the dozer shovel from chimeras, plus a copy of IA2.

 

Now that i think about it...

Some people get picky about the raised Fire point hatches on the official model, if you can show it has more fire points then it's ok.

[sedibear]

If it was just me i'd model the top doors as open and use that as the fire point. But yes, that's a possible thing.

 

If only Repressor kits were still a thing. Hrmf.

I've actually decided to give this a shot entirely thanks to this thread. £25 off ebay for four Heavy Flamers and the Superior with Combi-Flamer made it impossible to resist.

I look forward to the reports of its successes or failures Brightstar :)
