TheShredder Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Back in the days before codices came out, I saw quite a few people (myself included) running St. Celestine in IG armies. However, once the codex came out, this seemed to drop off almost entirely. With the new SoB rules, do you think there's any benefit in running her as part of an IG army again? (Either as part of a very small SoB detachment or even just as an Auxiliary Support Detachment.)If so, do you think running her would be a cheesy thing to do in casual games?

HallofStovokor Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 She's still good, but with chapter approved and vigilus, mono-guard armies are amazing. Celestine costs 160. That's a lot of points for a single model. She gives a 6+ invulnerable save, but that's not exactly great. For only 1 point more you can field an executioner w/ HBs or a basilisk and an infantry squad with voxcaster and plasma. Most of our army won't get coverage anyway. Better to get more guns than as single model that only buffs models close by her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokugawa Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 She is also an anti-charge hammer, not only a babysitter coward. With reduced cost she is not worse than 1 Dawneagle captain, and no IG player could say "useless" to dawneagles. Also, sister squad with 3 storm bolters is very cost effective. So no reason to take -1cp detc. Minimium patrol or batallion(you can move Ministorium priest here) is more operationable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I didn't say she's useless, I just feel that there are better uses for points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofish7591 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 So, I don't want to say that she isn't worth it... but with the changes to acts of faith and her geminae in the beta codex, she doesn't do what she used to do in the index. I think Celestine is still worth taking, but pretty much only in a sisters army at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beams Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Celestine got nerfed pretty hard in chapter approved. She's not what she once was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 To be fair, acts of faith were overpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
