![]() ![]() Not necessarily bad - in particular Exorcists are very good - but limited, and your mileage outside of Exorcists will depend a lot on how you feel about multi-meltas.Ĭredit: Games Workshop Special Rules Shield of Faith Anti-Vehicle Firepower. Sisters can pack an insane number of bolter shots into a list, but when it comes to taking down vehicles their options are more limited.Most notably, you only have one option for Troops – Battle Sisters – but the upside is that Battle Sisters aren’t a bad unit. Sisters of Battle finally have a full codex, but there are still a few areas they feel a bit under-cooked. Psychic Powers. Sisters have some tools for denying powers, but lack any native access to psychic of their own, which means that they just don’t have access to Smite and other power-based tools for dealing mortal wounds.Low Toughness. Sisters have decent saves and near army-wide invulnerable saves, but at only Toughness 3 for their infantry, most weapons in the game are gonna be wounding you on a 3+ or even a 2+.Easy to Soup. While Sisters get a bonus for playing monofaction (see below), these bonuses aren’t quite as hefty as Combat Doctrines, and so Sisters can more easily soup with other IMPERIUM factions where it suits them without feeling like they’ve been gutted power-wise.Between Miracle Dice, Acts of Faith, Shield of Faith, Order abilities, and Sacred Rites, Sisters have a ton of strong special rules that help the army out, and offer several good options that can completely change how they play as an army. Even their most expensive units don’t really top 200 points, meaning you can easily fill out multiple Battalions or a Brigade, with multiple options outside of the Troops slot. Low Cost. On a per-model basis, Sisters of Battle units are pretty cheap.That means things are more likely to go according to plan, or at least, you’re less likely to get completely screwed by bad dice with Sisters. The new Miracle Dice mechanic is great for smoothing variance, helping you plug in rolls and ensuring that more often than not, you’ll be able to make the really important rolls when you need them. ![]()
