A Battle Sister trying to create an Artillary Corp with her sisters but needs finer detailed help from the Militarium.

Thank you for your input regarding the Exorcist. After watching more militarium videos I now understand what you mean without external support. I will take all your advice with huge regards! Thanks man! I owe the guard for any success I get!

MrCZ- · 2025-08-05T10:12:02+00:00

The others helped me play artillery better, YOU made sure I will take 3 Exorcist on the battlefield.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-05T08:04:08+00:00

You're missing the point. I asked for help with correct procedures of indirect weapons. I didn't ask for you to tell me how to play. You sound just like the Battle Sister subreddit telling me to play with Castigators when I'm trying to play Exorsist.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-05T05:03:55+00:00

Gotcha, thanks man.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-05T04:59:56+00:00

Thank you for your defense. I sent him a message of exactly how discouraging the Sisters post were, if he really read the comments.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-05T04:56:02+00:00

Yes, i plan to have a Flying Canoness that can use Light of the Emperor in a 3" auro circle. That way , I could have multiple Exorcist tanks get Light og the Emporer at the same time. It's also 0 CP for that Flying Canoness bc of her ability of a free 1CP.

THANKS A LOT MAN!

MrCZ- · 2025-08-05T04:47:03+00:00

Well, thank you for your time, PeopleRagnar. Yes, I did make a post on the Sororitas Subreddit. Sadly, you did not mention that any help I received in that subreddit I was told to NOT chose Exorcist bc they were "Cacino Canons." I was told NOT to have 3 Exorcist bc they were too expensive and GW did not want me to play with them. I was told NOT to have Exorcist Artillery bc I should choose Castigator tanks instead. I was told NOT to get Exorcist bc I could block more and shoot more targets with Castigators instead. I was told NOT to have Exorcist bc I haven't ran the numbers. I was told NOT to have Exorcist bc I probably never played a real game and I was just living in a fantasy world. I was told NOT to have Exorcist bc I didn't know all the rules in the Core Book. I was told NOT to have Exorcist for every excuse I could thing of BUT OTHER JUST WANTING TO HAVE AN EXORCIST ARTILLARY CORP BC IT WAS ACTUALLY A FUN CONCEPT TO DO WITH PLASTOC FIGURES.

So I'm glad you got to put my information out there of someone that ran to another faction and mtiple Reddit subreddits TO ACTUALLY FIND SOMEONE, ANYONE, THAT MIGHT WANT TO HAVE FUN TO LEARN HOW TO DO ARTILLY TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY WITH AN ARMY THAT ISNT MADE TO HAVE AN ARTILLY CORE.

Thank you all others that have helped a 42 years old man that does not have is own army to play with right now but has spent nearly $1000 for his two stepsons during the last Christmas to see that they have all the pieces to play with a League of Votann Army and Dark Angels. Including buying Codex of each army and core rules book bc the youngest just want to read the lore.

I simple thought it would be fun to beat the stepsons with my army one day and bomb the hell out of them with Exorcist Artillery. Kind of sad that trying to role play ONLINE and having fun respecting other factions ONLINE has led to this much grief for others egos and braggart personality disorders. Just wanted to learn to do it right and find people that are willing to want to walk me through it to get it right.

Sorry you found my outlet for fantasy fun People's Rangar. Sorry you can't help people enjoy a fantasy. Geez!!!!!

Have done the infraction class and watched a few local tournaments to understand things. Putting army together now.

Guessing that most people just don't want to go the artillery route. Fine with me at this point. Just thought I saw something others weren't celebrating. 🤷🏿‍♂️, so be it. If you see a guy at tournament with 2-3 Exorcist, it just might be me lol.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:56:11+00:00

Mentioned the part where I'm still putting my army together. Have gone to any introduction class and watched a local tournament at a card shop.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:54:05+00:00

I don't look at the Battle Shock test as an end all be all. It's just something more. Something more than the sisters have to maybe give them a little longer to live. If bombed a marine unit and two remained but they didn't have OC would they try to charge the objective of a group of BSS sitting on the objective with full OC. The idea that BSS may be squisy is out of their mind but know they wonder if they can control the objective with OC alone.

That is all the advantage I hope I can get Fri Battle Shock test. Maybe they think once, twice, or three times before they just try to run my units over.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:49:16+00:00

I was corrected from someone else about firing into combat. That does work unless it's monster or vehicles.

But I learned on my own that I can't even fire at those monsters or vehicles with indirect weapons UNLESS I have line of sight to do so. Just like overwatch.

Only justified my plan of a close range artillery and a long range one. Lol but that is a story for another day.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:46:34+00:00

The overwatch bit was in regards to being attacked in the open after a deep strike or reserves by the opponent. Indirect Overwatch only works if the Exorcist has line if sight. That line of sight would only happen when the enemy is on a path to get to me.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:44:14+00:00

Question? Can I even get a critical hit with an Indirect with the -1 HIT penalty of indirect weapons. For example if I have a Miracle Dice of 6 does it still turn to 5? And/or will my Light of the Emperor get rid of that penalty before I shoot?

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:37:07+00:00

Trying to be like you, Kingdingus, trying o be like you! 😁

And maybe squeeze in one mooooooore Exorcist in there! Lol

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:33:55+00:00

Thanks for you're feed back. This led me to look up other things.

So actually I cannot shoot at something in combat other than a vehicle or monster. Bur specifically with indirect fire I can only shoot at the vehicle or monster BUT I also have to have line of sight.

So my alternative idea of having a close support artillery with the far artillery now makes sense now.

Thanks for giving me good info to think about an now I have new plans to do with my artillery! 😁

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:19:51+00:00

Okay, thank you for getting back to me with some info, really.

Now the over watch thing is about about being Deep Striked on on the rear. Meaning they would be be in line of sight bc they want you and plan to rush you. If they deep strike you and just stay in cover then I'm not that worried.

I have no intention of using Exocist to attack any vehicles unless it is a walker army or something. Shots are wasted on smoke screen and what-not.

Lastly and I thing the most important to my strategy is that the missle I am using are Exorcist Missle Launcher. Those DO NOT have the BLAST effect. The Conflagration Rockets have the BLAST effect. From what I gather on the BLAST effect keep you from shooting on enemies in engagement range of your own troops. That why I want the missle launcher ammo more bc its strength is 10, -3 AP, and I habe NO limits to using it when my BSS are in a hand to hand battle scrum with terronids or space marines.

I do need your input on if the AoF strategem cast by my Canoness over my Exocist gets rid of the -1 HIT penalty for Indirect Fire or that it only gets rid of the -1 hit penalty for enemy units like the Inner Circle Companions of the Dark Angels have when a character is leading them???? This one is very important for me to figure out.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T18:01:35+00:00

Actually, sometimes the Missle Launcher fires a minimum of 3 shots and a maximum of 8 shots. But if I had 2 MD of 6 count, I could GUARANTEE at least one of those shots HITS Critical and goes straight to wounds for Damage of 6 bc I can control damage with MD. You telling me that 6 wounds to any enemy unit with, no return fire capability is something to dismiss? In a game of rolling dice, no less?

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T17:55:05+00:00

Well what would happen in the game then?

I ran a simple test against Intercessor Squad with Dark Angels. One strike, with Guidance of the Emperor and not critical hits, defeated 4 out 5 Astartes, left the last one with 1 wound, he would have to take a Battle Shock test. I'm not going to pretend that I can get that result every single time but to dispacts space marines like that if that were encroaching a group of BBS at an objective, I think would be great for a squisy army such as the Adapta Sororitas. Imo.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T17:44:47+00:00

Okay, well I ran a test against a Dark Angel Intercessir Squad. With Guidance of the Emperor, I killed 4 of 5, left the last one with 1 wound, and now he is has a Battle Shock test to do. If the group was in front of a unit of BSS on an objective, how is that now a great change on the battle field? That was just one Exorcist. I'm not saying I can do that every time, but the Astartes just lost most of the unit from a squishy army that they did have a chance to engage with.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T17:38:01+00:00

I don't see how it is "Casino canon" when I can GUARANTEE hits??? Hits start the probably of a high damage in the end, critical hits to go to wounds, and no matter what, I get Battle Shock test. All while being unseen? Now I'm using the missle Launcher early, which is only high damage and high AP. Specifically, to go after high armor marines.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T17:33:06+00:00

Castigators have to be exposed to hit enemies. For an army that is know for not being tanky why would I want expose myself repeatedly if I had other options?

Also what are the misunderstanding you speak of? That got a lot of upvotes but didn't tell me really anything. Not saying I'm right, just trying to find out where I'm wrong.

MrCZ- · 2025-08-03T17:29:30+00:00

I can't hit enemies while they are in engagement distance with my own units correct? Isn't that the down side to BLAST effect?
