Drider Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I suppose, from a sisters perspective, this formation gives you super easy access to a land raider. You do drop obsec but at the same time pick up a few bonus which might even things up, especially if your tending towards more melee units than 'usual'. Worth using over double cad? Maybe. if it's double cad dominion spam, whats the point? If it's double cad with some interesting melee, could be worth it, but you'd need to bring a few units before you really start to see the benefit. If you're doing that though, why not just bring a single cad and some priests? penitent engines with rage and hatred would be fun but would still explode at the slightest breeze. I take back the OBsec comment.... take coteaz, get obsec on every non-vehicle. Side note It is the perfect reason to convert an ephrael stern dreadnought Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329736-imperial-castellan/page/2/#findComment-4620605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beams Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 It is. But also, why not take it over double cad dominion spam? DC dominions are generally buffed a lot by having coteaz, so you might as well get hatred and 5+ respawning troops... What did she have on her?

A.T. Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What did she have on her? The stern dread? Inferno cannon, multimelta, and power fist. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329736-imperial-castellan/page/2/#findComment-4620803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drider Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yeah, that one. I'm toying with the idea of nabbing a cheep dread off of ebay (and stripping off the pro paint) for the purposes of. Plaster it in sisters iconography, I could model the inferno cannon as it's just 2 heavy flamers and I have some spares and play it as just a dread with MM, HF and power fist for the purposes of playing Castellan formation if i ever wanted it on the table.

KiwiBen Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm actually really excited about this Detachment. I've got a whole lot of half-completed projects lying around that are just crying out to be used in a Castellans of the Imperium army... Let me count the ways: I have Sisters of Battle coming out my ears - there are a lot. I have enough Inquisition stuff to field quite a few different Warbands and Inquisitors I have a whole lot of "Inquisitorial Storm Troopers" (the old metal "Astronaut" Storm Troopers) - solid Militarum Tempestus contribution After rummaging around in the garage at my parents, I unearthed my Imperial Guard (Cadians, Catachans and Steel Legion), which are in various states of disrepair, but with a bit of TLC would allow me to field a decent array of guardsmen and associated transports, sentinels, tanks and super-heavies (triple-threat Baneblades anyone!?) I stumbled across my aborted attempt at a squad of Black Templars (from back when the BT Codex was released), with a few extra bits, and some "spare" Marines, I could make a unit or two of Crusaders - complete with Initiates and Neophytes Like most 40k players, I have a couple of other Space Marine armies (3... Salamanders, Iron Hands, and Storm Lords) and of course, a regular Knight, and a Cerastus Knight Castigator This Detachment seems to have been tailor made for hobby magpies like myself, who can't help but buy the latest shiny toy, and never seem to stick with one project long enough to field a decent sized (and fully painted) army. But now I can indulge my whims when it comes to painting whatever I want, from multiple armies. Then I can shoe-horn whatever I manage to actually finish painting into a legitimate army, without being "unbound"! Praise be to the Emperor, for my faith in Him has been generously rewarded!

ERJAK Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 You can run Celestine and a LibCon smashfunner ball and still be sisters primary.

jacqualine47 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 and of course, a regular Knight, and a Cerastus Knight Castigator I'm with you on most of your post (I'm also a hobby magpie), but that Castigator is SOL - the detachment lists specific units rather than just codex sources, so barring a FAQ, erratta, or future FW release there will be no FW units at all (not even a Sisters Avenger Fighter) in the Castellan formation barring those taken as dedicated transports (so our repressors are safe).

Spacefrisian Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Losing obj secured isnt that big of a deal, it just ads some extra planning to the mix.

A.T. Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This new formation also gives us repentia and land raiders in the same list Having to deploy outside of it is still a pain though. Lose the roll for first turn and you find yourself with an assault vehicle, but no assault unit.
