4/5 stars. Sisters on jetbikes are all kinds of good.
Background.
Disabling targets at key weak points ... well, I was going to say something of import here. But. Let's be honest. Sisters of Silence on Jetbikes is all the background that is really needed!
Strengths.
Lightning fast - they move at 18 inches per turn. This is mind blowing and can really help the player get into the right position for the chosen battlefield role. The points cost is also very attractive even with the T=3, and W=2.
I see two main roles for the bikes: snaring targets and keeping them pinned (this will grate on opponents eventually, so beware if you're wanting to make friends) and plausibly tank killing.
Having shrouded on the bike is all good as well, but it might not save you.
Weaknesses.
T=3. Other than that, this is actually a nice unit!
Builds.
Subjugator x3, Mistress with power weapon (115 points).
The annoying unit that uses snares to ping units of your choice all game long. Just beware of return fire.
Subjugator x5, all with Adrathic destructor (205 points).
Thanks to armourbane, this is your tank killing unit.
Subjugator x5, all with Needle cannons (180 points).
I like the poisoned with pinning combination quite a lot here. If it doesn't kill or rout the unit, then they will be staying put for you. You could double the number of jetbikes here if you like, the points cost is entirely reasonable to do so.
