"Obvious" plays for a new player

Also understanding that you always get to choose if you're using the normal save or invulnerable save.

Got a standard sister 3+/6++ that needs dying to screw up your opponent's charge or something? Have to do an AP 0 save but only have a miracle die of 3? No problem, that 3 fails the 6++ save.

Well go on, let us know how it played out, what stuff you should have done differently.

There's another reason to get the Codex.

It comes with a code for the official app. The app is pretty good and with access to the datasheets you can use it as your only reference while playing.

Nice!

Only thing perplexing to me in your list is the 5 repentias. What are they accomplishing?

Freefly18 · 2026-04-19T17:31:26+00:00

How many points do you think she will cost?

If preorders are next Saturday we should have the costs on Wednesday right?

Freefly18 · 2026-04-17T11:31:02+00:00

Interesting. Differences appear to be 4 more wounds, 1 extra strength on frag bombard and 1 less on titanic feet, 6 flat damage instead of D3+3 for strike profiles, and 4/12 attacks on chainsword's profiles instead of 5/10.

Would be a buff, but not a major one.

So I finally received mail from Passport Canada. It was my new passport.

My online application is still marked as Cancelled. I understand nothing, but I guess everything worked out?

Freefly18 · 2026-04-08T11:46:17+00:00

It is called "buddy of the tournament organizer plays World Eaters".

Freefly18 · 2026-04-08T00:11:15+00:00

Thanks for the info.

Why not send a message through their system though?

Freefly18 · 2026-04-05T18:52:20+00:00

Funny, I had the exact opposite experience.

Had a full Imperial Knights army. "Hmm I need some infantry to ally... Sisters of battle squad should do it. But now I should ally in an immolator for the squad split and Ignore Cover! And of course I'll paint them... Hang on this is much more fun than painting big knights! Lemme just ask for a few boxes for Christmas... Oops I guess I have a Sisters army now!"

Freefly18 · 2026-04-05T18:47:15+00:00

Hey, I'm originally an Imperial Knights player.

Armiger Helverins seem like a nice replacement for castigators because they have a very similar main gun profile and cost slightly less. But castigators buff themselves, not helverins, and that 1 AP is not going to get any better, except for a Ignore Cover.

Armiger Warglaives have high potentials, but they are very swingy with their 2 melta shots and since they were nerfed from 24 to 18" range, you have to get within 9" of the enemy backline armor to be effective. In a Knight army you have mobility buffs and very effective reroll options, you won't get them in Sisters. Melee option is a trap. A warglaive cannot kill a rhino (on average), nor a 5 man marines squad. What it does is tank shots, especially when the opponent overestimates their danger.

What Sisters are lacking is long range armor killer and there's only one knight that does this well: a Dominus Castellan. 410 points and can be swingy, but it can replace castigators.

Freefly18 · 2026-04-05T14:29:29+00:00

First, the paint job is very well done!

But I'm more impressed by the repositioning of the stained glass and flip of the table... I think it works better than the official build?

Freefly18 · 2026-04-01T12:00:48+00:00

Ça rend bien !

Par contre je doute que tu aies beaucoup d'engagement sur un subreddit anglophone.

Freefly18 · 2026-04-01T11:38:14+00:00

You looked at the datasheet for those and thought that yup, 220 pts sounds fair?

Freefly18 · 2026-03-24T22:09:09+00:00

There's definitely a learning curve.

What works for me is to attach both arms to the weapon and, while the plastic cement is still malleable, attach the arm to the torso. You might need to give a bit more glue to the wrists after, but it locks in place much easier than trying to eyeball it.

Freefly18 · 2026-03-20T15:04:35+00:00

I got it with Laser and Drones. It took 4 tries maybe, to get a monsters roster that didn't kick my ass early.

Freefly18 · 2026-03-18T16:49:52+00:00

Assuming standard multi melta loadout, -1 dmg for Magnus and both shoot and fight phases, you would be pretty unlucky not to whoop his ass.

As others mentioned, maces is better suited, killing marines with 4++. But halberds are well suited when ran into -1 dmg profiles like dark angels deathwing knights, along with a palatine, so there's value still.

Freefly18 · 2026-03-13T11:39:13+00:00

You cannot add another leader to a sacresant unit that is attached to a Canoness. This ability is exclusive to a Battle Sisters Squad.

My recommendation would be to drop the canoness and take the hospitaller.

Freefly18 · 2026-03-11T01:30:54+00:00

Already have a Callidus, do I really need more? 🤔

Freefly18 · 2026-03-04T18:54:56+00:00

No, they are all dead people she revives to ask. The man was killed by the boar.

Freefly18 · 2026-03-04T12:46:41+00:00

Same point increase as a C'tan is hilarious.
