mertbl Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Really excited to try this format. List building is a bit of a pain though. We can bring a unit of dominions and 3 characters outside of the normal restrictions. Noticed last night that you can only bring 1 of each elite choice though. RIght now i'm here with a list idea. Bloody Rose Canoness, blessed blade, inferno pistol 10 Sacs, Halberds, Spear of Faithful, inferno pistol 5 celestians - combi melta sgt, 2 melta 9 repentia 5 Dominion 4 melta combi melta Maschinenpriester and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Interesting idea. Sacs are definite but think I may go more troop heavy but I also play Valorous Heart. So I need to start planning some lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Rose Canoness, blessed blade, inferno pistol 10 Sacs, Halberds, Spear of Faithful, inferno pistol 5 celestians - combi melta sgt, 2 melta 9 repentia 5 Dominion 4 melta combi melta I am planning similar but - Bloody Rose Canoness, Blessed Blade, Inferno Pistol 5 Battle Sister Squad 5 Battle Sister Squad 10 Sacs, Hammers, 10 Celestians, 2 Meltas Dialogus Keeps me at 32 models, but gives me decent ranged firepower, and the dialogus gives a buttload of Psychic Protection, since I can see Smite Being absolutely bonkers. Since you need to be able to see the unit you are Psychic-ing, you put a unit stretching in front, and then cast Spiritual Fortitude, and your opponent can't target that unit with psychic, or the units behind them. Since I am likely playing against Grey Knights, Salamanders led by a Psyker, Imperial Guard, Tyranids or Custodes, I feel it helps. Plus, the +1/-1 on miracle dice means I can make sure my meltas wound or my charges go through a lot easier. The Repentia are an interesting choice - I am sure they will hit hard, but I am not sure if they will be survivable enough.

mertbl Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Why the 10 celestians? They'll break into 2x5 at deployment so you kind of just end up with 5 more sisters. I hadn't thought of the psychic angle. Maybe i should re work for a dogmata. Heavy flamer battle sisters with the overwatch action could be interesting too.

MoshJason Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Celestians are our most dependable unit - near a Canoness they have a 2+ rerollable to hit, and a Bloody Rose Celestian has 3 ap -1 Melee Attacks without any buffs. I think in boarding action, their dependability and overall decent stats will keep them worth their points. Plus, each squad of 5 will have a Melta that is *going* to hit, and should help punch through any big baddies that we will encounter. I could replace the Battle Sisters with Dominions/Repentia, but I would like to keep a decent amount of squads/bodies on the board to make sure I can cover ground and objectives. As for psychic, if you think there's a chance that you can get Smote'd, our natural defenses can help - the Miracle Dice and AEgis of The Emperor are a strong defense, but a successful smite can deal d3 to d6 wounds, that can take out entire squads with a decent roll of the dice.

Bonzi Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just got a couple games of boarding Action yesterday. I ran Argent Shroud with: X5 BSS: combimelta, multimelta X5 BSS: multimelta X10 Noviates: power sword, x2 flamers, pistols & CCW 10 Sacresants: spear, inferno, halberds Preacher: vindicator, trademark weapon 4 Repentia Sacresants are pretty important for taking and holding contested objectives. They're probably sisters best boarding Action unit. A high point in posting BSS with a multimelta in a junction and putting them in overwatch against elite enemies like Marines or Ogryns if you have a 6 miracle dice. It guarantees the first thing to come in dies. brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
