Ulfast Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I was thinking that I could use some close combat unit in my Ad-mech army and that I at the same time need some pshycic protection. Then it hit me, why not get a unit of sister of silence in a rhino? They can both fight, move forward and give some protection from phsycic powers. But my questions are: 1. has anyone tried this? 2. are they any good? 3. is there any better option (like a assassin)? I do love the models and it would be intersting to paint one unit of them with great swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilt_imp Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I've proxied & used a unit of 5 with swords & a unit of 5 with flamers in a rhino, as part of a vanguard detachment with an astropath & primaris psyker using the keyword 'Astra Telepathica'. Meant I was still legally battle forged & got 1cp. They performed... Ok. Helped more with blocking psychics really. It was a heavy urban terrain set up so the flamer ones helped. I wish I'd had more swords but against low armour they did ok. I'm thinking of getting the real figures to use just so then I could build an imperial knight house with 'lady knights' supporting too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulfast Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 That sounds very intersting. I´m thinking to start to get a 10-women unit with swords in a rhino. I think they will be fun to paint and be fun (even if not great) on the battlefield :) Thanks for the advice to get a vanguard detachment. I didn´t think about that.

Charlo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sisters are a solid little unit - great CC ability and MASSIVE debuff aura to psykers. Even one unit imposing just a -1 to manifest powers at a whopping 18" will make your opponent sweat. Not to mention, if you really need to kill that horde, you can bring an entire unit of flamer ladies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulfast Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Seems I could in the future get two units, one with flamers, one with swords ;) Both seems like a lot of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterZorro Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 My 2cts: admech suffers from 3 main points: mobility and (less) CC. Sisters don't put much in the firts point and don't add something that we already have on the 2nd. Yes, they can add about psy. What I did? 3 custode jetbikes captains. But hey, it is the easy rider solution, I'm soooooo lazy ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
