3.5/5 stars. Rounded down - but only just.The rules are reasonably good, but the points cost is slightly high.
Background.
The more senior members of the mainstay of the Sisters of Silence can be found on the battlefield with big swords! They hunt down their targets systematically, up close and personal.
Strengths.
These Sisters are kitted out for close combat thanks to the Execution Blade and the Oblivion Chamber rules help this through against daemons very nicely. There is some nice flexibility on builds here as well with hand flamers and needle pistols possible. I also really still like the compression tanks here.
Weaknesses.
As with the other troops, they are expensive (compared to space marine troops) given the T=3 issue. But they wealth of extra rules does make up some ground here. Take a transport to help.
Builds.
Vigilators x5, 5 hand flamers with compression tanks, Mistress with Neuro Lash (120 points).
I have a thing for the flamers with compression tanks. Can't lie. The Neuro Lash clocks in with S+3, which is the same as Sx2 in the case of the power fist - they are interchangable for S purposes, so it comes down to the AP, or deflagrate.
Vigilators x10, Mistress with Power Fist (135 points).
The base line build in my opinion. Take a transport and go do your thing.
