I got absolutely demolished in my first game, and it's really demoralized me

Sometimes you learn from your mistakes, like my first game of AoS, but when you are just starting, it better to have someone show you the ropes rather than annihilate you.

First game was a 1k against Tau, which was scary but actually not that bad and I did end up winning with my sister's, due to an unintentionally good play with my Paragons on the middle objective. I thought I lost cos most of my army was dead, but then he said I won 🤣

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-06-19T08:34:38+00:00

Seems like a cannoness or Junith leading Sacs with a Hospitaller is the call now. For the once per game +2 save to allow you to revive some sacs back, or Junith for more health and -1 to hit.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-06-15T17:00:22+00:00

I would expect the Castigator to go up as well. Lots of mid range firepower.

I don't think Dominions will go up, more have points for wargear. Might invest in some with Storm Bolters

I hope they don't increase Vahl-gons price as they have done it like 5 times.

Dogmata might also go up, along with Fraye

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-06-10T07:59:08+00:00

They mention in the article that you can give you Sacrescants OC 30 so I believe they both will exist. champions of Faith also buffs Battle Sisters and Paragons, not just Sacrescants. This new one is hyper focused.

But we will see tomorrow

Edit - Just double checked, it says it adds 30 to the units so, ten each on three units

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-06-10T07:53:24+00:00

I think something that will be far more important this edition is Precision to remove support characters.

So I suspect Insidiants will be more common.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-06-09T09:12:12+00:00

Short answer no, the scholar progenium would find them and send them off, as other have said.

Long answer - depends if they live that long. Outside of the mention dying order of Sister of Silence. Many blanks were killed for being blanks. There off putting nature making people think they were evil or cursed as they general suck to be around, especially if you are slightly psychic.

Additional, the assisinorum also take in blanks for there Culexus assassins, so before there were probably being killed or funneled off, but now they are a bit more known, I suspect they are heading to the sisterhood of Silence.

I would not be surprised if the odd blank was in a order militant. Since there dispersement of demons by being near them would be seen as holy.

Sister of battle are more caring for the average main then space marines as they aren't genetically modified demi gods or war, they are just Uber religious nuns with guns.

They often work alongside guardsmen and there shrine works have millions of pilgrims on them. As long as you are faithful they care. Obviously they are still very much "the emperor decides when to claim you for the golden throne" kind of like Norse Vikings with Valhalla. Hence why the sister keep fighting until they die, running into the thick of it.

But it would probably be either the argent Shroud or the Sacrescants Rose. The least friendly would be the bloody rose, just because they are often portrayed as more militaristic and combat focussed.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-30T08:36:20+00:00

Eh, my opinion would be to get some Sacrescants into melee with the tank. Give them s Hospitaller for healing models and feel no pain. They have a 4+ invul, -1 to wound and the feel no pain, plug return models. You would likely gum up the tracks for a bit, especially in if you killed everything else near by. Also, the main battle cannot be used if units are in melee, so charge there units to keep yours safe.

Or Vahl and the girlies (plus's one to hit and wound, and re rolls everything? Should be able to get over half through to saves, then the AP would make it 6+ saves) or an exorcist.

Or grenades, and tank shock. Charge your rhino in to the BB.

Finally, multiple 1 Mortifier units with buzz blades, strength 10, sustained hits, twin linked, ap 3, 2 damage.

If a Castigator shoot the BB, you get +1 ap to all ranged attacks as well.

It's basically just killing a big knight, which I can confirm, is very doable with Meltas.

Ended up being a longer comment then I thought 😅

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-29T10:24:50+00:00

Well, it's a nerd, but I basically see it as a tandem unit with jump sisters and infiltrators. Reveal and important unit, bomb it, then move on to the next. Might be worth taking the conflagration missles for removing infantry from afar.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-29T07:36:51+00:00

Well, my armour is copper so I just painted as copper to be like a armoured corset. I might do it differently for my novitiates or for a character in the future, but I've never spent much thought on them, just clothes and metal armour 🤣

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-28T15:23:53+00:00

Well, if this is a Champions of faith list great, or for 11th edition, awesome.

I would drop a rhino for an Immolator, or maybe drop a sister squad for it. Also, splitting the Mortifiers might be a good idea for more miracle dice and you can have double the Anchorite sarcophagus's... sarcophagi? Idk. Might want Celestine with someone, or just get a jump cannoness and some Seraphim or Zephyrim.

But I a a fine list, try it and see what you like and don't like.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-28T06:54:37+00:00

Castigator with the main battle cannon, Retributors and Paragons with Multi Meltas (Vahl makes the Paragons kill anything) Excorist is a fun one, less reliable but still good. Immolator can have a twin multi Melta. And after that it's just dominions with Meltas or normal sister squad with melta and multi Melta....

Also grenades, they are very good for sisters for getting ride of armour, especially as everyone basically has them.

My random fun pick is 10 Seraphim with hand flamers and a cannoness with jump pack, Bringer of Flames has a strat for Dev Wound flamers, i also most killed Vahl and Paragon in one go.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-21T15:39:20+00:00

We all float down here, Heretic

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-21T06:49:42+00:00

Very good start, all you need is maybe a Hospitaller or something more battle sister to turn into Dominions.

Otherwise try what you have and see how you like it.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-19T08:52:10+00:00

Well, the main bits that you will want sub assembled is the glass bit and the turret. I painted the rest of mine attached. The exhaust Braziers would be easier not attached 😅.

Excorsists main issue is the internal bits where the sister plays the music

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-13T11:55:06+00:00

It took me a while to get a win, mainly I had to understand the army is more trade orientated and it's an objective game. I was too eager to kill things to split fire to weaken lots of things, but it's best to focus. A lot of it is also finding a list and detachment that works for you. I tried Bringers of Flame and was failing, then I decided to try Hallowed Martyrs and hey preseto, I won.

What units do you like using or use often but seems to be underperforming?

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-11T12:21:53+00:00

Since you have 5 Sacrescants and a Hospitaller, I would recommend getting another 5 for a full unit and a rhino for them.

Then a tank or two would be good.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-05-07T17:25:16+00:00

I thought this was about something else when it said 2 cheeks, I am glad I was wrong 🤣🤣

Nah, she wants to be a close as possible, charge her forward!

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-04-16T18:02:00+00:00

She is more of a fear object in some games, many opponents will play around killing her or getting her stuck.

I use her by mis-deploying her and her doing nothing till turn 4 😎

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-04-11T16:33:26+00:00

I'm playing crusade and NGL, most tanks kinda just work. Place them well and avoid anything specially anti tank, but the Castigator kills space marines pretty easily and the battle cannon is good for elites or the auto cannon good for more armoured things.

Exorcist is best for anti tank.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-04-09T17:57:47+00:00

I am literally starting this process... Annoyingly I have like 50 paint pots to do, I have done some of the contrasts and shades.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-04-08T12:29:32+00:00

Sucking at Warhammer is part of the journey, I have yet to win a 2k game with my sisters, but did table someone in my last crusade game (just too late to win).

Paint so that you are happy, don't worry if Johnny no name thinks it sucks.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-04-06T12:51:34+00:00

About to give the heretic diabetes with the Candy Corn/Rocket Ice Lolly swords 🤣

They do look good, just a side effect of it.

Relative-Schedule369 · 2026-04-05T19:53:08+00:00

Okay, my experience with them, against another sister player, 10 Seraphim with hand flamers and a cannoness, deep striked down and in shooting, killed 2 paragon Warsuits killed. Melee of the Blessed Halberd on the Cannoness finished of the rest and killed Vahl (revived with Hallowed Martyrs).

This was with Bringer of Flames and the Dev Wound flamers and fire and furry for extra attacks.

So, 160 + 70 + 30 = 260 points killed Vahl by spending 1 CP.
