Hi all, long time since I last posted. I just wanted to ask for what I should purchase next for my Sisters. Yes, I know it's cheaper to wait for plastics however I want everything to match, so metal it is.

 

Currently I have:

 -   1 Celestine

 -   5 Penitent Engine

 -   3 Exorcist

 -   3 Immolator 

 - 50 Battle Sisters

 -   5 Battle Sister Superior

 -   5 Battle Simulacrum Imperialis

 -   5 Battle Sister w/Storm Bolter

 -   2 Battle Sister w/Flamer

 -   2 Battle Sister w/Heavy Flamer

 -   6 Battle Sister w/Meltagun

 -   5 Battle Sister w/Multi-melta

More Flamers, Heavy Flamers, Melta, Heavy Bolters and transports are your optimal choice in terms of what you need for min/maxing. But if you want fun stuff pick up some repentia/seraphim/battle conclave 

How many of each special weapons would you recommend? I was thinking enough to fit 6 units of Battle Sisters. I only ever run a single CAD.

Flamer & HF for each squad of BSS. If you want to run six squads the you'll need four more of each. Probably two more melta girls to run two full squads of doms, and 10 seraphim, two with twin hand flamers and 3 more rhino chassis transports if you decide to do full mech.

Personally I have...

 

4 Flamer

4 Heavy Flamer

12 Melta

2 Heavy Bolter

1 Stormbolter

 

...and i want more of all of them especially heavy bolters so i don't have to proxi for HB rets. I've been thinking about running a list with 4 flamer, 8 heavy flamer and 20 melta recently but haven't got the cash to pony up to try out the list. The main strength of sisters is the ability to bring a crap load of special/heavy weapons and usually that's what your should be buying when you don't know what to buy. 

 

At the end of the day, the best way is to faff around with battlescribe or similar program and come up with a list that looks good (without worrying about the constraints of your current collection) then you know what you need to put on your shopping list.

Ideally I'd have the max number of each, but that would be expensive considering in a CAD you can have:

- Flamer         30

- Meltagun      30

- Storm Bolter 30

- H/Flamer      21

- Multi-melta    21     

- H/Bolter         21

I would go with meltaguns to max out two dom squads,

 

The only reason I can think of to own stormbolter girls is to convert them into combi weapons.

 

After the meltaguns and stormbolter to combi weapon conversions, I would look for some more rhino/immolators or repressors.

Well, I wouldn't have less than 3 squads of Dominions with x4 meltaguns, but that's just me, and I run double CAD, so YMMV. But on the other hand, in a single CAD I still run x2 Dominions with melta, and use the third squad to spread more melta throughout the BSS.

 

What I'm saying is, can you ever have enough meltaguns?

 

Also, how are you fixed for Priests? And are you avoiding Seraphim on purpose?

Same as above, I really missed another melta dominion team the other day, as well as heavy bolter retributors (didn't have enough HB sisters), I'd also go for :

 

- 2x4melta for 2 squads of dominions

- 2 immolators for the above mentioned

- 10 seraphim and a few seraphim superior models with different weapon loadouts

- 9 repentia and a mistress

- 1x or 2x 4 heavy bolters for retributor squads

- superiors with combi weapons if you find the models on ebay ,because they are nice and useful :)

- rhinos and/or repressors to transport all these people (or conversions thereof)

- extra sisters or superiors if you wish to complement these dominion or retributor units with more bodies or if you can't spare a sister from other squads to become their superior

- 15 tubes of super glue :D
