Well they're cheaper space marines with worse stats less weapon options more expensive rhinos, but more character.

They got shirt rocks, they are made of metal, leave great impressions on what ever you throw them at, and are heavy.

They're a suitable cross between a Guardsman and a Marine as far as statlines, except that they have their own special abilities via Acts of Faith.
They are also a very short-ranged shooty army. Possibly the absolute best when within the 3-12" range.

The faith is nice, other then that they are veteran guardsmen with bolters and power armor. They other then the lack of long range antitank but their guard allies pick that up better.

They are actually a bit better than that. Their morale rules are some of the best in the game and they all have BS4.

I'm sure he was confusing the Red Thirst and Black Rage from Blood Angels. And then got confused about the thread topic.

I'm sorry but moody women are scary enough, moody women who don't get laid and have superior weapons are even more scary.

Bolter fire is very nice compared with Lasgun fire, I find they are good shooting force, and Can be underestmated especially by Marine players, who some reason tend to think they should fold like a deck of cards.

Marine's just get confused by Soriatas on the battlefield, they keep thinking "Why are they here? This is not the holy kitchens, why are they not brewing our monkish ale and make us sandwiches for our post battle feasting?"
But then all SMurfs are misogynists.

I agree that Sisters of Battle are very worth it. I love how they've got a 20 max unit size and can take a heavy flamer. I am unfamilier with the rest of the codex so I won't go making stupid speculations with out research. tho' I have read up on some of their acts of faith and they are quite intresting.  |

If u use the witch hunter codex then space chicks supported by fantaics in machines full of chainsaws are a must!
Hint hint take peneit engines and arco-flagnets cuz as WH are a rare army peple uderestamate the naked half machine manicas who are hiding up to 7 power weapon attacks each!
Yes ive got a Pure sisters/fantatic army!

I'm tempted to start a pure sister's army, but converting some female "stormtroopers" as novices, so they'd just be stormtroopers but all female with nice heraldry, and it'd look cool.

I've amassed quite a few. Saint Celestine is still very imposing, and she was staring me in the face in my local store - I had to buy her. Now I'm committed to at least 3000 points, but at least I already have 5 GK termies to ally with the Battle Sisters.
Ironically I'm reading the end of the Grey Knights book 1 , which features Sisters as well.

If you're going for apocalypse, don't hesitate to get a few squadrons of Penitent Engines. They aren't the most efficient thing in the world, but damn can they cause nuts when used properly-- or if the opponent ignores them. If you use them right, as a distraction, you can pull some stuff of while they're pouring firepower into the crazed walkers.
