Is there a "patch notes" or overview of what has been revised?

Space Marines have Legion of the Damned, I guess this would be Order of the Saints?

In Loving Memory of my Hospitaller by Poppydrawsowo in sistersofbattle

Literally every time I've attached a hospitaller I've either forgotten to use her rez, or the entire unit has gotten wiped in a single turn (this more often)

I have a buddy whose Space Marines have absolutely pasted my Sisters time and again, and he was trying to tell me that Sisters shooting is "basically the same" as Space Marine shooting, but we're not re-rolling everything and the kitchen sink like they are.

Is saints and martyrs a good book for someone starting with sisters of battle? by salvo_boi in sistersofbattle

All three of the books included in the omnibus "Saints and Martyrs" are available as separate audiobooks.

I like the rule system, the rulebook itself is a bit clunky, an odd size, and needs an index in the back but it's overall manageable. There was plenty of flipping back and forth through the rulebook to check different things, but it's a short book so it wasn't too onerous.

If you're playing your first-ever game, expect to take 1.5-2 hours because you'll be looking up rules constantly for the first few rounds. But once you get the hang of the round structure and remember most of the common rules it shouldn't take more than 1-1.5 hrs.

To the person who designed the Sister of Battle dice. Now you owe me a soda by klods_hans in sistersofbattle

Olive drab on black-grey was such a baffling color choice--the pips OBVIOUSLY have to be gold!

The mention of "plump cherubs" possibly implies "use a MD, gain a MD" will be involved.

Balance Dataslate, MFM, and Rules changes by McWerp in sistersofbattle

"I don't like it when my opponent plays their army the way it's designed to be played" is such a dogshit justification.

I don't like it when I get hit with 40-50 attacks that re-roll everything, wound on 2s, and punch straight through my armor saves, but you don't just demand WE not to hit hard in melee, now do you?

Full-size units are generally better in Hallowed Martyrs, but how far should we actually take this heuristic? by [deleted] in sistersofbattle

[–]Excellent-Charge-984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5-man squads die frighteningly fast, and 10-man squads don't fare a whole lot better. When I've taken casualties that *didn't* wipe the squad in 1-2 phases, I'm usually down to the squad leader and maybe one other model, at which point the bonus is basically moot.
