1000 point list help for going into 11th
I'm trying to put together a 1000 point list so I can prioritise what to paint and be actually ready to play in 11th edition. I've not actually played 40K outside of a simple last team standing demo game but I've put together a general strategy based on what I've read.
I was planning on playing Army of Faith because I'm not that much of a fan of the Penitent units. My Sisters are also painted up as Sacred Rose and it looks like the extra miracle dice were their rules last edition. From what I've heard detachments will be the same at least going into 11th so I think I can rely on the same stratagems.
Army List
- Celestine
- Palatine
- Battle Sister Squad
- Immolator
- Dominion Squad
- Novitiate Squad
- 5 Zephyrim
- 5 Zephyrim or Seraphim
- Castigator
Army plan
- Novitiate squad to scout onto centre objective
- Dominion Squad and palatine in Immolator. 5 sisters and palatine advance in Immolator. Bolter sisters stay on the home objective
- Battle Sisters squad for taking a third objective
- Celestine and 5 zephyrim to deep strike and cause chaos on the enemy backline
- 5 zephyrim or seraphim to cause more chaos or drop on contested objectives and use stratagems to buff them and nearby units
- Castigator for anti-armour
I also have these if swapping any units out would be beneficial,
- 5 celestian sacrosancts
- 3 paragon warsuits
- 1 Canoness
- 1 hospitlaller
- 1 Rhino
Are there any units that I'd be better swapping or out or picking up? Or any units that might get nerfed into oblivion at the start of the edition?
