Default Doing it by themselves- 1000 point Order of the Lily

Well, you think you have almost everything wraped up, just a few finishing touches and you will be set...
But not me, not for long at least.
The coming Vostroyan made me feel that I must have them in the army since they would fit so well. And I decided that my gaurdsmen would defect to the greater good and start working for the Tau.

So now my plans are far away in the future and loads of cash away. But I decided to make a pure Adepta Sororitas 1000 point list, that could be complemented with a small 500 point list representing my Inquisitor Indy Jones and his henchmen and personal troops.

Here comes the Sisters. Damn, they really deserve to be fielded in a pure way. I can see the finished army in front of me...

HQ
Mirjam- Canoness of the Order of the Lily
Blessed weapon, Cloak of St. Aspira, bolt pistol, frags. Leap of faith (Jump pack)
117


Elites
6 Celestians with Vet.Superior, Enviserator, Meltagun and Heavy flamer
Transport:Immolator 201


Troops
15 Sisters of Battle with Vet. Superior. Bolter, Sarissa, frags and Book of St. Lucius
2 Storm bolters 200

10 Sisters of Battle with Vet.Superior, Enviserator & frags, flamer & heavy flamer
Transport: Rhino 218


Fast attack
5 Seraphims, 1 with twin hand flamers 117


Heavy support
Exorcist with pintle Storm bolter 145

998 points in total.


I think this is a balanced and really fair list, no cheese here. But they have all the faith one can ask for.

I will make Indys 500 pointer later...

What do you think? Is it worth a load of cash to make this list?

Hey man,

Any list is worth the cash, model wise--Sisters are beautiful sculpts and overall look great on the board; or in a diorama if you go that route eventually. They're metal too, so over the years, you won't be repairing broken "thingies" that stick out.

In terms of buying it as a competent and competitive list, it's worth it still. It's not the most competitive, but it's well rounded enough for missions, and it's diverse, so it scores points in that department.

1 - You have mobility, in multiple units.
2 - You have infantry and vehicles.
3 - You have combat support & anti-infantry.
4 - You even have some ranged AT support.

So yea man, keep it going. You score insant style points using the Sarissa. Model it well! Gouging spikes on a bolter are just cool.

My sole complaint will be two fold:

A - Storm Bolters in the foot squad. But I understand that's what happens when you buy boxes (I suggest people convert their storm bolters into normal bolters via shaving them, or converting them to meltaguns or flamers, via small amounts of putty manipulation and shaving).

B - Very minimal Seraphim can be useful or flop. I would go for a 6x team when possible. It makes a difference because moral and 50% strength will come fast, when you're jump pack infantry.

The rest looks fun to me

Cheers!

If I switch the stormbolters to flamers in the foot squad I get 1000 points exactly. Not bad at all!
Burn heretic! Burn!

But what should I take instead of the Seraphims? I really do not want Storm troopers here and I do not want to loose anything else?

Tricky...

Again, nothing wrong with taking your seraphim, it was just a minor point. Seraphim are still strong. It's just they'd be better if they could have that 6th girl. Keep them by all means! It's all good.

Going for two flamers is definitely more ideal than those storm bolters

Cheers!
