	Since the grenade launcher and the mulitmelta have the SAME range, any vehicle has the potential of reciving up to 16- 22 wounds a turn (although you probebly need some miracle dice to pull this off).

	And yes we did not have a typo up there. Ask any <s>Beardy</s> Matronly sisters of battle player and they will tell you the sisters of battle have never been one of GeeDub's favoured armies and have over the years received very little support. As such from the Witch Hunter codex released in 2003 the Sisters of battle have not had '''one''' totally new codex option (not counting the [[Repressor]] which was [[Forge World]] rather than base codex,) or special characters. Even the 2020 release had only [[Zephyrim Squad\|Zephyrim]] and [[Mortifier\|Mortifiers]] as new units - and both were variants of existing units, the [[Seraphim Squad\|Seraphim]] and [[Penitent Engine]], respectively.

	The thing you are seeing here is the new [[Sisters of Battle]] elite unit. This abomination is the first new sister unit since 2003 and it seem to carry on the Imperium's glorious tradition of [[Derp\|strapping a fucking baby carrier and pushing them onto the front lines.]] Seriously, what the fuck is up with GW's habit of giving the Imperium fucking baby carriers? First we had the [[Dreadknight]], then the [[Invictor Tactical Warsuit]] and now ''this''. Thanks to this fiasco, we can finally conclude that the design of the Dreadknight may not be [[Matt Ward]]'s fault after all, go on our [[Spiritual Liege]], you're redeemed for now on this case.

	And yes we did not have a typo up there. Ask any <s>Beardy</s> Matronly sisters of battle player and they will tell you the sisters of battle have never been one of GeeDub's favoured armies and have over the years received very little support. As such from the Witch Hunter codex released in 2003 the Sisters of battle have not had '''one''' totally new codex option (not counting the [[Repressor]] which was [[Forge World]] rather than base codex,) or special characters. Even the 2020 release had only [[Zephyrim Squad\|Zephyrim]] and [[Mortifier\|Mortifiers]] as new units - and both were variants of existing units, the [[Seraphim Squad\|Seraphim]] and [[Penitent Engine]], respectively.
