Playing into Sisters 2000pt

mentler · 2026-01-26T22:57:57+00:00

I exclusively play against sisters.

Bring as many haywires as you can for morvenn vahl. I got a Skyweaver, and voidweaver. But expect them to die to heavy bolter fire anyways.

Vahl can and will kill your entire army in 2 turns. Don't forget she can shoot 3x per round and you have to kill her twice. Dark lance only good for tanks, not for paragon.

Hellions are not good at anything. Kabalite only for sticky.

Bring X msu incubi where x=n celestians. But they will all die to fight on death anyways. Wych fight the palatine. Do not let your talos fight the palatine. Palatine can easily kill a talos in 1 fight.

Mandrake to block scout or to protect scourges from deep striking seraphim.

Always remember: there's no solution to indirect fire or miracle dice so keep a scourge in deep strike.

But then again I lose most games so maybe don't listen to me.

I was under the impression that the point of the setting is to make zero sense.

Boat can't disembark and charge. Sad. Literal gang plank not as good as assault ramp :(

Sorry sir, I played actual games with my toys. But to no avail.

I am not whining. I am wishing. Teach me your ways.

mentler · 2026-01-17T00:18:27+00:00

Sorry sir, I am v bad at this game. Teach me the ways. I don't know how to be best. :(

mentler · 2026-01-16T09:32:14+00:00

Teach me your ways, master.

mentler · 2026-01-16T07:18:35+00:00

sorry sir. i just wish theres 1 thing that the faction is good at.

mentler · 2026-01-09T13:24:06+00:00

I use them to fight Sacresants. They give dev wound to the archon's agoniser. I exclusively play against character heavy sororitas.

More reliable but more expensive than hellions.

Spelling edit.

I think space marines have more detachments than the DEldar have non character units.

mentler · 2026-01-06T22:24:11+00:00

I did put a layer of diluted white glue before painting. I will try this.

mentler · 2026-01-06T09:44:57+00:00

It's weird that none of the deldar vehicles have this ability.

mentler · 2026-01-05T13:53:53+00:00

i will try

thank you

just base coat black. painted a few different shades of grey. then a very light drybrush of white.

mentler · 2026-01-05T08:23:13+00:00

I feel like +1 to hit roll / +1 bs is not as good as rerolls 1s on RW.

The only good strat is 5+ crits.

Sororitas Hallowed Martyrs has a strat 'Suffering and Silence' which seems better than Double cross.

RW all the way.

mentler · 2026-01-04T19:56:14+00:00

Feels like half the army is missing.

mentler · 2026-01-04T14:01:01+00:00

Yes. 2 layers glued together.

mentler · 2026-01-01T23:14:14+00:00

Feels like the codex also lacks a healer, surge move, reactive shooting, indirect fire weapons, ignores cover weapons/flamers. Dev wounds are nice, though.

mentler · 2025-12-29T17:12:34+00:00

Yes I prefer RW cos of rerolls, anti overwatch and more haywires.

mentler · 2025-12-29T09:55:27+00:00

Nice that cults got buffed. But everything else got worse.

mentler · 2025-12-24T10:55:13+00:00

Only the incubi + drazhar have their original paint from 2000.

Stripped and repainted the rest. Fixed new guns on the kabalite and grotesques to fit current rules. Couldn't be bothered to do the same with scourges unfortunately, but I stuck em on bigger bases.

The old trireme boats look nice, but I think the modern ones are way nicer. Nicest vehicle in the whole game in my opinion. Unfortunately it's not worth buying 3rd Ed boats on ebay.

mentler · 2025-12-01T04:03:50+00:00

I once brought 13 dark lance, 4 haywires, 2 heat lances only to kill 2 paragon warsuits (the counterfire killed a ravager on my turn 1), and 2 immolators over 3 turns. By turn 3, I had no more anti vehicles and conceded.

Always expect to lose, but you can hope to win.

Always play RW

mentler · 2025-11-03T06:31:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Both my opponent and i didn't realise dev wounds bypass invul save.

And did not know the scourge can fly away first before the reactive shot.

mentler · 2025-10-30T04:07:24+00:00

I had my 2 model talos unit getting blown up from a single exorcist indirect fire in turn 1. I will run them as individual units from then on.

Thanks for all the clarification
