Can they go it alone or do they need some extra durability and anti armour from custodes to make them viable?ĭakka, help me out here. I feel that 10 girl units are the way to go to maximise the use of their fearless rule but how can they hope to win against a decent list? No anti av14 and no anti flyer, plus squishy squads in CC even with their execution blades. The company cadre special rule means you can give them stealth or infiltrate but which is better? I like infiltrate for outflank and I can see that being really powerful using transports and disembarking excruciatus cadres or seekers against psychic units but then what do you start on the board with? A unit of sisters with stealth in ruins? Yes, they might survive until all of the transports come on but that's all they'll do. Sure, they have smoke launchers which will also give them a 3+ cover save due to them having stealth but that's a one use only item and you have to forgo shooting to do that. The transports have plenty of medium and low anti armour capability but if they jink - for a 3 up cover save, they have no potms to help with shooting next turn. They need to do more and this is where I struggle. I feel that they are better at dealing with psykers from range, backed up by their transports which also have psyk out missiles.īut a sisters list can't just be about anti psyker if they want to compete. I'm thinking about the excruciatus cadre and the seekers with grenade launchers. However, some of their ranged weapons can force a ton of perils tests on psykers and psychic units.
Sisters do have some underestimated ability to cut down marines and even small units of terminators with their execution blades but against a psychic deathstar like magnus and sekhmet, they'll still get munched in cc. Neither psychic anathema nor ex oblivio are going to shut down psykers to the extent that they should unless you can get into Base to Base with a psyker.
Namely, an inability to hurt av14 and flyers. Now, I'm no expert player but my win ratio goes up dramatically when I play pure custodes so I know they're broken but they can be toned down with the inclusion of sisters but I've really enjoyed painting what I have of them so far and I'd quite like to put a pure sisters army together.īut, they have some glaring weaknesses. So, I'm no expert on the sisters of silence but I've been drawn to them following negative comments about playing a pure custodes list.
