Hey all.
So with 7th toning down the D-weapons to actual playable levels (YAY) we are going to see much more acceptance of escalation and stronghold assault (YAY, See balanced rules make it better for everyone)
With that in mind I want to build on a pretty cool concept, the idea of a "stronghold" list. Now there are plenty of armies that would be great for this theme, but I've always had a real thing for AS and as an army they could,
1) Use the help provided by fortifications
2) Suit the idea of a force that holds ground (particularly sacred ground)
3) And by investing a bit more in the fortifications it would help keep the cost of a small sisters force low given that they are horrendously expensive.
So with all this in mind I'm looking for thoughts on constructing a 1000 pts AS army that uses the Imperial Strongpoint fortification.
Currently Im looking at
Cannoness
Battle Sister Squad
Battle Sister Squad
Retributors: Heavy Bolters
Retributors: Heavy Bolters
Imperial Strongpoint
2x Bastions (Quad guns)
Aegis Defence Line (Quad gun)
That brings my total to 736 pts leaving me with 264 pts to bulk out the force.
Im thinking that boosting the battle sisters to 10 sister squads and grabbing them some special weapons is a good idea, but I would like your thoughts on what else the list should be looking at containing. If I did that and grabed the sisters a heavy flamer and flamer each I then have 115 pts to spend.
maybe adding a command squad would be good, they arent great on the field but this is very much a for funsies list so...
