Order of the Emperor's Grace

[Montford]

Well done!

 

Which Conviction and Sacred Rite(s) were you using?

[NKirkham24]

I went Valorous Heart for the ignore -1 AP, doubled with the imagifier for ignore -2, but it didnt come up too often suprisingly. The FNP was helpful though. 

 

I also went for, i think it's called Spirit of the Martyr, that allows you to shoot to fight on 5+ when the model is destroyed. This was really useful, helping to finish things off where we'd not quite managed it first time round etc. 

 

It's a good job it was a friendly game though, I forgot to roll for miracle dice at for a couple of rounds etc, but we just went back thankfully. 

 

They really are a fun army to play, I enjoyed it a lot. They feel so different to my Ultramarines (obviously), it just gives so many new challenges.

[NKirkham24]

So it’s been a very long time since I updated this log, apologise for the lack of update.

 

I have continued to add to the Sisters collection and now have a fairly sizeable force, ready for the next wave which should hopefully be announced today.

 

I have played a couple more games with the Sisters, but not as much as I would have liked given the COVID situation here in the UK. In only their 2nd outing I took on the new Death Guard and managed a victory. Unfortunately this was quite a while ago so I don’t remember many details.

 

More recently I managed to play only my 3rd game with the Sisters again vs the Emperors Children again. My list was as follows:

 

Canoness - warlord - blessed Blade & condemnor boltgun; relic - iron surplice, trait - impervious to pain (5+ FNP).

Canoness - chainsword and plasma pistol; relic - litany of faith, trait - beacon of faith

Misssionary

 

5 squads of 5 Sisters - 2 squads with 2 storm bolters, 1 squad with 2 meltas and 2 squads all with boltguns.

 

9 Arco-Flagellants

9 Repentia + Superior

Imagifier - tale of the stoic

Zephyrim - pennant

Celestians - 2 meltaguns, superior with maul and inferno pistol

 

Seraphim - 4 inferno pistols, 4 bolt pistols, plasmas pistol & chainsword on superior

 

Retributors - 4x Multi-Melta; Combi-melta on the superior

2x Exorcists with missile launchers

 

Immolator with flamers

2x Rhinos

 

I also took Ephreal Stern and Kyganil.

 

I took banners, attrition and engage while the EC took assassinate, engage and thin their ranks.

 

A few of the key moments in the game were:

- a rhino making a save in a 6 to survive a further turn, enabling me to keep my arch-flaggelants safe and box in his advance on my right flank.

- The Retributors killing a venom crawler, disco lord and a rhino in one turn (using the cherubs).

- chaos spawn killing my Immolator without much difficulty (never played these before they were good)

- warlord Canoness taking a charge from a chaos lord with the daemonic lightning claws relic. She managed to survive on a wound thanks to her relic and shrug. The Lord was then dispatched by he Celestian bodyguard.

 

It was quite a tight game points wise scores were as follows:

 

Turn 1: EC 0-6 Sisters

Turn 2: EC 21-20 Sisters

Turn 3: EC 46-34 Sisters

Turn 4: EC 49-50 Sisters

Turn 5: EC 59-75 Sisters

 

Really enjoying the Sisters and I’m looking forward to the new releases whenever they finally come round.

Daemonifuge

 

Castigator

Exorcist

 

10 Repentia

2 Crusaders

[WAR]

Well just keep updating us as you go. 

[NKirkham24]

The draw has been done for the 1st round of the GT, and I'll be playing a Tyranid Invasion Fleet.

 

The mission is Priority Targets with Chilling Rain and their list is as follows:

 

Hive Tyrant

Neurotyrant

 

10 Termagaunts

 

Biovore

Exocrine x3

Maleceptor x2

Neurolictor x2

Norn Assimilator

Ripper Swarms

Screamer-Killer x2

 

I'm not overly familiar with the Nids, despite playing them recently, but I'm seeing a lot of big bugs.

 

Anyone have a lot of experience vs Nids, or on this particularly mission, target priority etc. Any input is welcome.

[Dread]

My experience with bugs the past few weeks has been bad. Trying to get objective control is really hard against them. I really didn't expect my exorcist or my multi melta to be so ineffective. Vahl and the suits need a Stat rework.

[RolandTHTG]

Goonhammer recommends Arcos followed by battle sisters to clear and take objectives.

[LittlePlasticHomies]

I dig your color scheme! I've gone for a similar emphasis on purple with mine.

[MoshJason]

I play against bugs a lot - there's certain bugs you just can't hurt (The Norns are mathematically one of the toughest units in the game, and unless you have Dev Wounds, forget about hurting it)

 

In my experience, Castigators have enough Twin-Linked Mid Strength shooting to hurt both small/medium/large bugs, plus a lot of heavy bolter shots. Exorcists can't hurt anything, Meltas need to have the triumph+dialogus to even think about hurting them. The big ones tend to have a ton of wounds, high toughness and a strong invuln save that makes our low rate of fire Str 9 weapons ineffective. Knight allies are a strong help here.

Haven't had a chance to play my sisters yet, but in theoryhammer, I'm thinking Miracle dice on melta from a rhino and free HK's on every tank I bring?

[NKirkham24]

So the event has been and gone. It’s was an interesting one, I went 1-1-3.

 

The event was about 3 weeks ago now, I’ll try my best to remember what went on. I went tactical in all my games.

 

First game was Nids, lots of big bugs. I killed what I could but he was taking fixed and just pinging spore mines into the far corners, which I just couldn’t stop. The fact the spores can do actions is just mad. He took that and Assassinate, I lost this one 47-100.

 

Second game, I played T’au. The big suites were too much for me again, really struggled in having enough anti tank. Went down 65-83.

 

Game 3 I played Thousand Sons featuring Magnus, Ahriman and loads of flamers. It was a very close game, which really swung on him having some insane luck on his DP. I basically shot my entire army at him to get Area Denial and Assassinate, with various shenanigans he survived in a wound, effectively winning the game. This one ended at 100-75.

 

Day 2 and Game 4, into T’au again. Thankfully I’d learnt my lesson from the previous day, and managed to win this one 83-70. This also achieved the goal of getting at least a win.

 

Final game was against the Squats. Interesting one, he had a couple of blobs of terminators and 6 Sagittaurs. Really close game, he that needed me to kill terminators and take the objective they were on to steal a draw which I did. Ended up 90-90.

 

Things I took away from this were: 

 

I was too reliant on the Triumph, Dialogus Palatine combo. Two big blobs of 10 Sisters plus the characters, were difficult to manoeuvre and maintain the synergies, and the sisters just melt. Tanks are decent, but s10 is really painful vs the bigger targets we face. Often the Palatine, +1 to wound and the enhancement were the best choice to kill tough things.

 

Moving forward, I’m bulking up the Sacresants and the Palatine is joining them, going three Rhinos and having just one squad of Sisters split in the Immolator. Triumph is going to run solo moving forward and see how that goes

[NKirkham24]

So I’ve updated my list a little and recently (2 weeks ago) went to a 1 day RTT event. Went 2-1 for the event which is was pretty happy with.

 

Firstly my list was as follows:

 

Morvenn Vahl + 3 Paragons with Swords & Multi-Melta

Preacher (saintly example) + 10 Arcos + Rhino

Palatine (blade) + 10 Sacresants with Halberds + Rhino

Dialogus (Litanies) + 5 Retributors with Multi-Melta + Immolator, also with Melta

10 Repentia + Rhino

 

5 Seraphim

10 Sisters with Flamer/Heavy Flamer

Inquisitor Eisenhorn + 4 Henchmen, a Mystic & Jokaero

Daemonifuge

 

Castigator

Exorcist

Game 1 was a really close one vs World Eaters

 

Highlight was my Exorcist rinsing some Eightbound indirectly in T1 to get me Both my secondaries. I killed Angry Ron in T2, he didn’t come back til T5 and still nearly swung it for him. My Exorcist survived on a single wound to deny him 3 more VP on Bring it down.

Arcos did some really work, ripped through some Jakhals easily then interrupted next turn on killed 7 from a squad of Bersekers.

 

It was such a close game, but my final turn was ultimately kill a unit to get 4 VP and win the game. I killed a unit of Exalted Eightbound to win the game 89-87.

 

Game 2, I played a Canoptek Court using the Void Dragon & Nightbringer. It was the odd mission where you don’t get primary for your home objective, and I just didn’t have the staying power to hold any in No Man’s Land til it was much too late. It was also the game where NmL objectives disappear in T4 & T5.

 

neither of us ended with too much left but the points were massive for the Crons, as I literally scored zero on primary. I probs played it poorly, but I was conscious these are some of the bogeymen lists at the moment, so wasn’t too expectant going in. I believe the score was 27-93 on something terrible like that.

 

Final game and I played Ironstorm Ultramarines. As you may be able to tell, this is one of my armies, so I was very familiar with what’s what. He had 3 Redemptors, 2 Techmarines, 2 Whirlwinds, 2 Lancers and a few scouts. These he out on NML objectives but I easily picked them up.

 

Again the Arcos were great, I ran them to the centre and then held a Redemptor in combat. It really struggled to shift them, and his other Dreads were largely bottle necked behind it. This allowed me time to take care of other stuff and for my Retributors to get into range and hit it. They finally went down but only after one of the Techmarines joined in to get rid of the Arcos, failed and was then killed in return.

 

Vahl and pals came on Strat reserves, killed a Lancer one turn, then killed one Whirlwind with shooting and another in combat. In the end it came out a pretty comprehensive win, despite being tight in T3, 100-63.

 

overally really happy with the list, I’ll probs not get too many more games in before the codex arrives, but if I do, I’ll be sticking with it.

[NKirkham24]

Had my first game with the new codex last night. 
 

I went with the penitent Legion and my list was as follows:

 

Canoness with 10 Sacresants

Priest with 10 Arcos

Palatine with some repentia

Vahl with three paragons

another three paragons

two penitent engines,

one squad of Seraphim

exorcist

one squad of Battle sisters

three rhinos

 

we played the new Mission from the pariah Nexus box, with staggered deployments, scorched earth and prepared positions.

 

I played Gladius task force Ultramarines I managed to win 82-61.

 

I thought I was done in T3, I think I had just 7 Repentia, one Penitent, some sisters, the seraphim and Vahl with friends.

 

Vahl was undoubtedly MVP, with her squad she killed a Repulsor for Bring it down, killed the lone op Lieutenant for assassinate, Took out a Gladiator then rinsed through the brick of Calgar, aggressors and Biologis. Finally they took a charge from Tiggy and Bladeguard. Vahl finished the game alone on 1W on the middle objective.

 

I had Vahl, 2 Seraphim and 6 Battle sisters left, while he had a wounded Ballistus and 5 Infiltrators remaining!

 

For what little I had left, the list maintained some serious punch which ultimately won it for me.

 

For the detachment, I don’t think I had enough Penitent stuff, I’ll be swapping out the Sacresants and Canones for another unit of repentia for a start. I’ll be adding a Mortifier and a small arco unit just to hide on a home objective.
