WarriorFish Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sisters can add a lot as allies, for Marines perhaps less so than other armies but Sisters run a bit cheaper than Marines but with equal or greater fire output. That's pretty nifty as you can imagine especially if you take the like of Dominions. Otherwise standard squads can bring some mechanised melta or flamer punch which can go down very well in a similar themed list but they also offer the ability to get lots of power armour and bolters on the table if you'd like.

Cheers warriorfish im thinking melta dominions in a pod and a flamer sisters squad in another. Only place where im stuck is what HQ to take Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319402-sisters-as-allies-to-marines/#findComment-4310587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Canoness can easily be cheap and cheerful if you want, especially if you're planning on adding a bit of oomph to a squad on a budget :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319402-sisters-as-allies-to-marines/#findComment-4310628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedarkprincesnun Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 she could be kept relatively cheapful thinking about it. Also have any sisters orders been fleet based?

Thedarkprincesnun Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 So heres my planned allied detachment of sisters roughly hoping it as well as 2 more pods should fit in 500 points Cannoness with eviscarator rosarius mantle of eternal warrior 10 battle sisters flamer heavy flamer 5 dominions with 4 melta guns Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319402-sisters-as-allies-to-marines/#findComment-4310756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 They're classics for a reason :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319402-sisters-as-allies-to-marines/#findComment-4310855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 So heres my planned allied detachment of sisters roughly hoping it as well as 2 more pods should fit in 500 points Cannoness with eviscarator rosarius mantle of eternal warrior 10 battle sisters flamer heavy flamer 5 dominions with 4 melta guns Give the cannoness two inferno pistols for the same price as an eviscerator. Even with it she's not much in combat, but two extra meltashots with the dominions is nothing to sniff at.

Goonbandito Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 St Celestine makes a great addition to a Bike squad kitted for Close Combat - use a kitted out Chapter Master to tank stuff while Celestine provides initiative 7 for Hit and Run and Sweeping Advance. Plus she's no slouch in combat herself. Ministorum Priests are also ridiculously good close combat force multipliers, especially because Sisters Priests can take the Litanies of the Faith relic to auto-pass those Ld7 War Hymns. Obviously the lack of Jump Packs or Bike upgrades might limit the units they can roll with though. Melta Dominions and Exorcists can also probably find a spot in almost any list. The ability to put Sisters in Drop Pods is pretty nifty - drop a squad of 4 Heavy Flamer Retributors who activate the Rending Act of Faith, or Melta Dominions who activate Ignores Cover in someone's face turn 1.
