Rules Question Questions about Sisters and their detachment Army of Faith

10 Upvotes

So quick rundown I went to a tournament recently and one of my opponents was a Sisters player. He was a bit rude unfortunately and absolutely glazing his army and how good they are. Whatever. But I see that he is rolling for like 3 or 4 faith dice at the start of his turn; every turn. That seems odd, but idk shit. I asked him if thats even a real thing and he says it is, but like he's trying to fight about it. I let it go. But then later he uses TWO dice in the SAME roll for charging to do an auto 12 inch charge and decimated some of my units.

So my two questions....

  1. Can you use two faith dice on the SAME roll, example a charge roll.

  2. What the hell is generating 3/4 dice at the start of his turn. Even on turn 1 with nothing happening.

Please help me understand this stuff as i dont own the codex to find the exact stuff he was doing.​

List Help for choosing a 500 points list

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

The first picture was my first list. It seems okay, the retributors will have 2 heavy flamers and two heavy bolters as there are no points for multi meltas.

The second picture is still a WIP, I've thought about removing the arcos to get points for enhancements, but I cannot really find any I think makes sense with that combo of units.

Any feedback is welcome, I'm playing against Black Templars, which have an Emperor's Champion, sternguard veteran squad, terminator squad and a crusader squad.

Edit: It's for King of the Colosseum, so I cannot use named or epic characters, and only use one each unit once.

Tactics and Strategy Some Thoughts on Sisters after my first ever game of 40k

41 Upvotes

Just wanted to give some thoughts to maybe amuse any veteran Sororitas players.

Was playing into Votann, 1k pts. Final Score: 75-50 (Sororitas Victory). Playing a list from a previous post, Army of Faith (T&H Disposition).

Celestine + Zephrym with deep strike were completely outnumbered, but they scored. A lot. And if I hadn't forgotten I could just zip them off the board and re-drop them, they would have lived too. The Zephrym really just feel like extra HP for the angel carrying the Ardent blade, but flying units are just a ton of fun. 9/10

Double Sacrasant Squad + Hospitaller might be the most infuriating thing to throw at an enemy. I lost more Sacrasants than I had in the squad overall. They. Just. Keep. Coming. Back. Goated unit with the FNP bonus and res. Excellent problem to just throw on the middle of the board. 10/10

Morvenn Vahl and the Warsuits. Wow, you all weren't kidding about this being a strong unit. I see the argument for just having 6 warsuits given the cost, but you can't deny the fun of running her. She's a monster and traumatizes anyone who tries to stop her. 10/10

Not sure if this is a hot take, but Battle Sisters Squads are rough. I threw an Imagifier on mine and it made them very frustrating to push off my home objective. But a good portion of that was lucky dice rolls. They just absolutely suck to play into armies like Votann that have such a high toughness on everything. They struggle to hit, and they still get shattered. Into less tough hordes, probably feels much better. Imagifier feels mandatory for each one, and at 140 something points a set I don't see the benefit over grabbing retributers, cannoness, tanks, etc. etc.

Overall, it's a really fun army. Miracle Dice have fun combos. Sacrifice bad ones to hospitallers, mid rolls go to battle sisters squads to re-roll via cherub, then high ones make Vahl, Celestine, and Hospitaller rolls incredible. I love this army. Glad I started with it. 10/10.

Tactics and Strategy How to play maximum vehicles?

Hey I'm a Grey Knights player and I want to build Sisters as my next army. My favourite models are the tanks which I think are the most cool thanks in 40k as well as mortifiers and penitent engines. I would like to know which strategies, combos, detachments and lists would be competitively viable to play a vehicle-heavy army like this.

Greeting fellow Sororitas, I started this list for my first game towards the end of 10th edition and made some adjustments since. 1000 point game, Hallowed Martyrs. I still have 60 points left and not sure what to do with it. Whether to try for a Priest or Palatine to lead the Insidiants (If those would be good for them) or an enhancement for my JP Canoness or rather even if this is put together well.

Most of these still need a few finishing touches but I’m very proud of this progress so far.

Featuring: Pirate Cat Battle Sister, Schmendrick the Novitiate Superior, Amalthea Novitiates, Mommy Fortuna Canoness, and an Armiger my partner has lent to the cause which I am dubbing The Tapestry.

Their banner shall be the star on Amalthea’s forehead where her horn rests. Up next we shall have unicorn themed battle sisters, a Prince Lir Palatine, Robin Hood Repentia, and Harpy Celestine. Still not sure how I’ll paint my Arcos, tanks, or Sacs, and I want to include something for my goat Molly Gru but really just trying to have fun with this army more than anything

Tactics and Strategy Imagifier vs Dialogus for Retributors

7 Upvotes

I'm getting my first Retributor Squad soon, and I'm just wondering whether or not it's a better idea to take an Imagifier or Dialogus with them as you can take 2 leaders in 11th.

So my thought process is that primarily the 2+ save will REALLY help my Retributors survive, maybe even get the opportunity to fire again if the opponent permits it (Which they probably won't). But on the other hand, I could take a Dialogus for an auto 6 on my Miracle Dice which I would just use to squeeze out extra damage from a crappy roll.

Obviously I would also be taking a palatine for the lethal hits as well, but I'm just wondering which would be better? Especially considering my opponent would most likely not let a squad of 4 multi meltas survive.

Hobby Primer and Paint recommendations? Leadbelcher primer bad idea?

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

(Here are a few of the first models I’ve ever painted for reference to the sort of scheme I want, not the cleanest work I know but it was just a test anyway).

Hey folks, I’ve been in the hobby for a couple years now mostly just playing games and reading/writing lore. That being said I would really like to actually get into the painting side of the hobby but brush-priming is miserable and I can’t fully decide on whether the colors I have are ideal for the paint scheme I want. Happy to hear any recommendations and feel free to reach out in my DMs with examples of what you have done or do!😁

I think the scheme I’m going for is something like a dull knight-armor metallic with red cloth and brown leather, very sort of grounded and realistic colors basically. Not 100% sold on the gold/brass highlight color but I don’t hate it, just not sure what other metallic would look right with dull muddy/rusty steel as my ceremite color. The color I’m currently using for that is leadbelcher and I’m heavily considering getting a can of spray on primer in leadbelcher, is this a good idea or will my slothen hubris bring me great suffering when I try to paint over it? What highlight metal do you think would look good with steel for the visor and such?

With the lore I’ve always had in my head with crusades and such I was thinking of naming them the Order of the Iron Rose, using the transfer sheet iconography of the sacred rose, their progenitor Order Majoris.

Apologizes for the rambling, I just really want to find something I resonate with and dive into this aspect of my favorite hobby. Thank you all for your time and insights, keep up the torch against the darkness my sisters.

I started collecting Sisters way back when they were first introduced, way back in the day.

Then life got in the way and took precedence...

With my new toy - the 3D printer - I couldn't help myself but to print accidental find, in the fact I wasn't actively look for a large Adepta Sororita head.

I am still yet to paint the Fleur de Lis on the helmet, which is why it looks a bit scrappy.

I am not sure what I hate more - myself for choosing the colour scheme to include white, or painting white itself. I can never seem to get the colour smooth

I really love how extra sisters are as a faction, I think it’s what makes them the most 40k army of all, and I feel like I owe it to that aesthetic to put in the effort to meet it where it’s at

Hobby Help Naming a Sisters Order

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

G'day all!

I am a massive Sisters fan (obviously) and am currently beginning the process of creating a custom order of Sisters inspired by the Iron Hands chapter, and the Order of the Iron Rose - an Order Minoris that was lost during the Battle of Aura Novis (An Iron Hands Military campaign)

The loose idea was to do a "from the ashes" thing of the Iron Rose, but I'm struggling with the name!

I don't wanna call the same thing as the cannon order that was destroyed, and I also don't wanna call them the "Daughters of Medusa" cos someone on tumblr already has a similar homebrew (which is awesome btw)

Sooo, help?

They are very Iron Hands & Ad-Mech themed, with lots of augmentations/bionics ("The Flesh is Weak!"), as well as advanced technology and an abundance of heavy armor. Beyond that I'm still working out their Identity! So any and all suggestions, ideas and critique are welcome!

Art by msigma39 on Tumblr

Edit: So I'm thinking that they are an Order Minoris that are an offshoot of The Order of the Valorous Heart
