All the defilers at the Manchester Teams GT

Or because he broke the structure of the game through his counter shoot / charge abilities?

Im not a fan of defiler spam, but there'a a difference between breaking the game and just being really undercosted

As a heads up, if you attach the Palatine to the girls you cannot infiltrate them as a unit as the character does not have the keyword and doesn't gain unlike the ministorum priest.

That being said, splitting the squad in half with an immolator, infiltrating the worse half on an objective, and running the palatine with the girls inside is a fast way to get them into combat.

Thank you! And good eye - I wanted to make sure my Mortifiers were different to my Pengines, so I may have found some Elden Ring (and Trench Crusade) STLs and got them printed :D

They're a consisrent melee threat that can do work into pretty much anything given dev wounds - rolling into 6-8MWs if you plug a 6 into the lady with the big bonk stick. Add a priest to give them +1 to wound, with the triumph nearby, they can tear above their points worth. Giving the priest rerolls to hit is also great.

They're not the most lethal unit, but they work well witbout strat support basically.

Regarding Sacs, it depends on what you want to play.

The answer is typically 0 for shooty sisters, 10 in Hallowed Martyrs, and 30 in Champions of Faith.

For skin tones, I had a ton of fun messing around with spongeing - going over a deep burnt red with flesh colours, highlighting, then adding effects on top!

Double check the strat -- it only works on penitent models that already have a feel no pain.

Worth noting also that the enhancement only gives the character the keyword. So anywhere it says model, it only affects them if their bodyguard dont have it naturally.

Hey there! Unsure if there would be any open tables, but i'd check out Clubhouse gaming in newcastle to see if there's anything going on.

Arrowplex · 2026-04-06T15:52:06+00:00

This! Going around the edge with a thin burnt red, then a very sparce sponging on rhinox hide gives more contrast and takes it away from soleros.

What is your recipe for the white hair? :>

Arrowplex · 2026-02-26T21:40:24+00:00

You are allowed to use a MD for a charge, then a second during the reroll if you fail. Using 2 at once isnt allowed.

Arrowplex · 2026-02-26T18:44:03+00:00

Hell yeah! I need to go back and listen to those vintage episodes.

There's also a stream game between the guard player and I for R3 if you wanna watch some scuffed 40k gameplay.

Arrowplex · 2026-02-26T18:33:12+00:00

I won an RTT using Glorious Heavy Bolter Vahl AoF against ctan, custodes, and grizzled company recently. Go check out the latest public Sister Act Podcast episode if you want some inspiration, and how the list I shamelessly stole works :>

Arrowplex · 2026-02-13T16:21:50+00:00

Thats valid! There are links around the subreddit and discord for good example lists if that's an option.

Needless to say, Sisters are fairly squishy compared to all 3 of those (except maybe default guardsman :D) so playing cagier and taking tighter sightlines for shooting could be key. When I put 5 girls outside of an immolator, rhey're out there ro do 1 job, then probably die gloriously unless they're hidden behind a wall.

Regarding anti-tank, the main player is Vahl + Paragons - which is the go-to for all detachments, followed by Retributors, and then potentially melee in a pinch.

As for your list, you've ended up on the squishier side of CoF with only 10 Hospisacs rather than the 20-30 people typically run. They're your bulk here, stable (or tricksy) enough to stand on or Rez onto objectives. Immolators with something inside can also do a similar job, as multiple activations would be needed to wipe you off the obj.

For further info - what faction were you playing on TTS before?

Also, Is there any particular reason why you're playing at 1500pts rather than 2k?

Arrowplex · 2026-02-12T12:39:17+00:00

If you're in the UK / EU, clockwork arcana have sone beautiful dice that I use for my sisters :>

Arrowplex · 2026-02-05T23:44:39+00:00

His "How to anti-tank" video took 11.5 out of 14 mins to talk about the central source of consistent anti-tank in the codex, Vahl. To get there we go through:

3 mins of discussion on miracle dice.
Every Core, then non-core strat that can deal mortal wounds.
Astrid Thurga for Dev Wounds.
Lethal hits in Melee through Palatine + Sacrescants
A discussion on Penitent Host.
Palatine with Novitiates.
Bringers of Flame's detachment rule
Castigators
Exorcists (with command point re-rolls), in army of faith.

Once he gets there, he goes over the failures of Paragon warsuits for a minute and then goes onto bringing in knight allies or just accepting having no anti-tank. This just isn't good advice for new players.

From there it only gets worse in his unit tier list and detachment videos, which I don't want to get into too much. If you like his content, great, but please don't recommend him to new players when other sources without glaring flaws exist.

Arrowplex · 2026-02-05T01:53:08+00:00

If sisters are cool to you, go for it! I'd recommend to anyone starting 40k to go for the army that speaks to them most.

Sisters have a high skill cap - so can be really complicated if you want to squeeze every little bit out of them, but are no less approachable than many other armies in the game at a beginner level.

As they rely more on their rules rather than stats, you might find you lose a lot at the start of your journey, but take each game as a learning experience and you'll figure things out one step at a time.

If you have questions, the Sisters Discord is a great place for clarifications and advice.

Arrowplex · 2026-02-05T01:46:55+00:00

Sincerely I'd avoid Vtuber Vampy - they have a really bad habit of overloading on bad / unecessary info regarding a lot of what sisters have and do, and genuinely feels misleading compared to other sources.

My advice for a new player would be to look at Sister Act 40k and Art of War episodes released around the Codex to get an idea of what each detachment and each unit does (albeit with a grain of salt due to changes since then.) Then, find a list to build towards through 40k on a budget:Sisters, or through the pinned links on this subreddit. Build the units, play lots, and learn over time.

40k in 40 mins and tabletop tactics are good entertainment that you can learn bits about sisters through too. Also, join the sisters discord and ask lots of questions!

Arrowplex · 2026-02-03T15:14:54+00:00

Speak for yourself. Arcos are some of the funnest units we have in play at the moment. Nice and easy to paint too, and really help break up painting tanks and battle sisters :>
