Charlo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Sisters! If you had to choose some allies to take, that were worth giving up Sacred Rites for, what would they be? I suppose also factor in the CP cost of 9th Edition in this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePenitentOne Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It won't cost me my rites, but when my sisters are up against severe witchery, I plan to attach Greyfax to the Sisters core detachment and she packs an MSU Null Maiden Vanguard with a Cullexus. It's a bit of overkill really, but it's so cool I just can't help myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Greyfax doesn't take away their rites. I included her most of the time to have a psycher in my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If you bring any allies except for Inquisitors and Assassins using the Agents of the Imperium rules (one Agent per battalion, brigade, or patrol detachment), and/or Kyganil and Stern via Unexpected Allies, you lose Sacred Rites, Combat Doctrines, etc. Dread and HighMarshalAmp 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sisters detachment would keep its <Order Traits>, but Rites, not so much. This is why it's not a permanent part of the army- I'd use it against Thousand Sons, and really heavy psychic armies like Warlock and Farseer spam. Otherwise, I'm better off putting the points elsewhere and keeping my rites. So yeah, that is a fluffy campaign based army, as opposed to smart choice for a pick-up game.

taikishi Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Was more answering High Marshal Amp's question. That said, I finally came up with an interesting, very likely super non-competitive army idea but I'm not willing to field it in 9th when I only get to start with 5CP before pre-game expenditures instead of 13. Celestine, Stern, and an army of Sisters leading Cypher and the Fallen (both a Fallen detachment and a Dark Angels counts-as detachment) to Holy Terra in search of redemption.

HighMarshalAmp Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Was more answering High Marshal Amp's question. Yeah, and cheers for that It's just that 'It won't cost me my rites, but when my sisters are up [...]' really threw me off. I actually love your army idea.

ThePenitentOne Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yeah, made a mistake on the rites in my OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
