Second game and assessments

I played my second game with the new codex and things seem to be moving in the right direction.

We played 1500 points sisters against yannari.

I brought

Canoness condemner chain swords

Celestine

2 geminae

2 immolators with double melta squads inside.

10 person 2 storm bolter squad

5 person multimelta squad

8 and 5 person seraphim with infernos and plasma

2 exorcists with the standard rockets

And a 7 woman 4 multi melta squad.

 

He brought 2 big yannari characters, wytches in venoms and raiders, kablites in venoms, incubi, Graz something or other and some bikes.

 

After two games my assessments are:

Miracle dice are sweet...I have had good rolls mostly, but did have some ones and twos this time and it was still ok.

Take the big gun on exorcists... The little one just isn't good enough, and the Strength 8 does enough work against vehicles.

My stratagems were great, I did get Vected twice, but he thought about it on almost every stratagem I used. Auto explode immolators might be my favorite. Seriously has done about 12 wounds through 2 games. Adding the range so seraphim can shoot infernos when they land is awesome and even with that getting Vected I still got down, shot, and charged his yannari psyker character and ended up killing it with my sacred rights after it killed 2 seraphim on the crackback. It sucks a little that you almost need to use a stratagem to shoot with multimeltas on turn one, but we'll worth it if you go first.

I had sister supiorors with chainswords and hand flamers and I think that is what I will keep with the Los of stormbolter superiors. Combi plasma could be good, but I think the points are probably better spent elsewhere.

My next game is a small tourney at 1650 points...I don't have all the details, but am thinking I will try to get a brigade for it as just chewed through command points, and they were worth it.

I was really happy how everything performed, though as I look to move up to 1650 I really hate the battle conclave rule as it is such a big deal back if your trying to get a army that is theoretically balanced within their force organization chart system. But maybe I am the one being lame as I try to fill out my elite spots with small units and taking the cheapest HQ.
