Glory to the God Emperor!

I have completed the Oath of Moment.  The Thunderbolt was the last item completed.

2 Imagifiers:


 One is a conversion of a very old and OOP model, the other is an out of the box from the latest catalouge.

10 Battle Sisters with Bolters:


Why have 10, When you can have 17!
  
 This part of the Oath of Moment was over subscribed by 7 models.  With these I can now field two complete units of 20 sisters of battle with Imagifiers and spevial weapons.  I wam slowly comming around to the idea that SoB units are best fielded around 15 members with Heavy bolter and Storm Bolter combinations.  I have run a few games with Heavy Flamers and Flamers, but they almost never get used.  Thes euints are castles.  flamers are wasted.

1 Heavy Flamer:

Another oversubscription.  I Pledged for one, and instead completed four!  NBow that I have them I am struggling to see how they fit in.  It would seem to me that they would be best suited to dominions, used in blocks of four in a fast vehicle to cut down enemies in drive by flamings. However Dominions dont bert them.  The Other option is the Retrebutor Squad.  But Exorcists are just too good in the slot.  SoBs have a very strong Heavy slot, and the competition is just too great to field one of these squads.
 

1 Thunderbolt:

Somthing to give the SoBs some presence in the air.
 A Multi role fighter, I have had mixed success with this, It has seen action three times and been shot out of the air every time.  It arrives, kills somthing hard to reach and is then Annihilated.
 
Once It turned up on second turn with a ground attack load out, blew appart an Avatar, then was jumped by two phoenix Bombers and destroyed.  The second time it came on, it splashed a squad of  Nurgle Marines, then was jumped by a Chaos Dragon thingie, and was destroyed.  The Most Recent game it arrived second turn, loaded for anti air, destroyed a Warp Hunter being used as hidden artillery, then was cut out of the sky by an aegis Defense line quad auto cannon.
I think it is still a must for any game as Anti Air role.

So what next?

Well, I think I will continue with the theme of no new purchases untill I have made a dent in the storage cupboards of unmade stuff.  While venturing into the grey cupboards of doom looking for parts, I have uncovered:
  • 3 Sororitas Rhinos (Half finished)
  • 1 Sororitas Exorcist (Half finished)
  • 1 Sororitas Army Box (2nd Edition)
  • 7 blisters of  Battle Sisters (Assorted)
  • 15-20 loose Sisters of Battle of various types
  • 3-5 Seraphim
  • 1 Avenger Class Flyer

So I think another Oath of Moment is Required:
I will not purchase any more models from any genre
Until the Adepta Sororitas of the Ark Angles
 Have a Mobile Force Organisation
This I Swear before the God Emperor of Mankind

Ave Imperator! Domine Libra Nos!


I will complete:
  • 2 Imagifiers
  • 2 Heavy Bolters
  • 10 Sisters
  • 3 Rhinos
  • 1 Exorcist
 This I will do before moving on to other, already purchased and unused models.
