====Troops==== *'''Battle Sister Squad:''' Consisting of 5-15 girls, Battle Sister Squads form the backbone of any pure Ministorum army. A cross between a Human and Astartes, Humans with BS3+, Sv3+, and a bolter for 9ppm. They're more or less about as tough, affordable, and deadly as space marine scouts. Generally speaking, you'll want 5-10 Battle Sisters in a transport to capture and hold objectives. The number of special/heavy weapons you get doesn't scale with the size of the unit, so you're usually better off with multiple smaller squads than one big one. **A squad of five with 2 Stormbolters is 49 points. Tossing a 7 point inferno pistol to the superior is recommended. Useful for cost-effective objective secured units, but 8th ed is all about mobility, tons of cheap wound (hordes) or very high toughness/inv save. While being on paper one of the most cost-efficient troops of the game at killing stuff, footslogging basic sisters squads have none of the aforementioned desirable traits that actually matters for winning games. You probably should just take the minimum need to satisfy your detachments' requirements and spend the majority of your points elsewhere. **Your Sister Superior can't take a storm bolter anymore outside of [Legends], which is annoying (Tell GW you want it back), but they can replace either their bolt pistol, or boltgun, or BOTH, for any of the other weapons from the pistol & ranged list to tailor them to suit your needs. ** Your Superior can just take a free chainsword too - always do that, since they don't normally fight well enough (two WS4+ S3 attacks base)to justify power weapons, but you don't give up anything to get +1A. <b>Take the freebie</b> - you'll be glad you did every time you use it. **Not unique to the Battle Sister Squads, the Sister Superior can also dual-wield bolt pistols, or a bolt pistol and another kind of pistol (I'll have a 'Baby Melta', please and thank-you!). Of dubious utility, though could be amusing and on a Bloody Rose unit for the extra point of AP. **While tempting to kit the squad with as many wargear options as possible, this overspending will water-down your army too much to be able to win games.
