	**Canoness tactic!!!! Yes, folks, here it is. I give you a potentially effective way to use her [!]: Give her the mantle of Ophelia (perhaps the cloak of St. Aspira too? if she's behind an aegis, I am not sure a Rosarius is all that useful, and the cloak is only 5 pts more) and join her with the Retributors. Put her and the quad gun OUT FRONT. Now you have a ballistic skill 5 model manning the quad gun (2+ rerollable to-hit rolls, anyone?), AND she can tank wounds for your retributors, since she is immune to instant death! Oh, and the squads AoF(s) is now at leadership 10, so there is that too. As an added bonus, I would also put an inquisitor back there (with a hellrifle) and a cheapy squad of acolytes. Flank them with two exorcists. Now you have prescience to give all your retributors when firing their rending shots, and when not you can prescience your exorcists. Once the retributors AoF(s) have been spent, have the inquisitor join them to give them stubborn, since your canoness will likely be close to dead by this time from the wound tanking, and with the Hellrifle, she synergizes well with the Heavy bolters. Obviously, it still remains useful to have a couple of soaks in the retributor squad for when the canoness gets down to one wound.		**Canoness tactic!!!! Yes, folks, here it is.

	**Additional thought: I am debating whether or not to give the inquisitor a Liber Heresius. On the one hand, without the rending on the HBs, the ability to split fire the quad gun might be exceedingly useful (since it can still pop tanks and fliers, which the HB's really cant do without rending). On the other, by turn 3 (or 4, depending on whether or not night-fighting happened for turn one), once the AoF(s) have been spent, I have my doubts the quad gun will still be alive, seeing as how it will almost certainly draw fire (if not round one, certainly round two when your opponent realizes you can make it rend). Plus such a load-out on the Inquisitor is beginning to get expensive.		**Additional thought: I am debating whether or not to give the inquisitor a Liber Heresius.

	**Final notes: ~~Dont~~ forget that generally speaking, the inquisitor's WL traits are more useful than the Canoness (who, remember, if you take her, is GOING to be your warlord, unless you also took Celestine), so there is that added bonus. No matter what, I STRONGLY recommend getting an inquisitor for this back-line, since prescience is just too damn useful. Remember as well to at least roll on the Divination table, since some of the other powers work really well against certain armies. If, for example, you happen to get perfect timing against an Eldar opponent, you probably want to take it, cuz your retributors suddenly ignoring cover would be rather hilarious. This is a bit of a long entry, and technically its not just about the canoness, but the combination just described is (I think) an exceedingly effective way to use her, and should be considered in your games. You're welcome		**Final notes: Don't forget that generally speaking, the inquisitor's WL traits are more useful than the Canoness (who, remember, if you take her, is GOING to be your warlord, unless you also took Celestine), so there is that added bonus.

	'''legion of the damned:''' when the mini dex dropped it's allied table included the sisters as Battle Brothers. Legion squads give you deep striking melta weapons that ignore cover, and with a +3 invul save (so no plasma cannon TPK's) they will have to devote so much power to killing them that they can draw fire from your sister groups as you advance. Alterneatly, kit them for anti infantry work and watch them make quick work of cover campers. And as a added bonus, they have two attacks base, and can charge after shooting as they can act also use them as assault troops. Course they have to start in reserve, but they can reroll scatter, call that bag mixed. Over all not bad, plus they don't take up a normal ally or a inquisitor detachment. . . man the lines between armys are getting blurred.

	'''Militarum Tempestus:''' Do you remember the Witch Hunters codex? GW does apparently. What's better than having your old Plasmatroopers back? When they replace their Chimeras with [[Valkyrie\|VALKYRIES]]. Sure, if you want to go the full nostalgia route, you'll have to replace your [[Chimera\|ChimBoxes]] with [[Taurox\|TaurBoxes]], but aren't we just glad to see our hot plasma boys playing with those fiery melta girls again? Orphan army of the Schola Progenium at its finest. The old Stormies are back with orders, marine kill'n dakka, flyers, and fast [[METAL BOXES\|METAL BOXES]]. The Big Toy Soldiers can provide a delicious distraction, via deep strike or fast transports, for your advancing wave of bolter bitches, or park their Sanctioned [[Ork\|Trukks]] next to the Exorcists for screening and to pump out EVEN MOAR Str 8 shots a turn. You can point them at high priority targets while the Sisters mop up, or let those righteous meltas do the talking while Anti-Marine Snipers pin units down before [[Dakka\|eBRRRRRRRRRT]] commences. Throw in an Inquisitorial detachment and you've basically gone back to 3rd edition. Welcome home.		'''Militarum Tempestus:''' Do you remember the Witch Hunters codex? GW does apparently.

	OK, now that we're done with the ~~dick~~ swinging, Sisters are a pretty hard force to play. The mini-codex release has left them with a clown car of an army and eliminated most of their previous strategies (plasmatroopers, immospam). The force org has become incredibly top heavy. On the one hand we have some incredibly cheap HQs, but most of your staple units like Sisters and Dominions are now more expensive. This is a challenge army and isn't for newbs. Then again if you own a Sisters army you probably knew that.		OK, now that we're done with the tit swinging, Sisters are a pretty hard force to play.

	With the new Codex out, the Sisters of Battle got changed with so many buffs and nerfs that no one can agree if they are overall better or worse. Expect evaluations of rules and individual units to change on a daily basis until there's an actual chance to try out new lists and see what happens. Though it's pretty much agreed that Codex Inquisition has given this army one heck of a powerful buff. Essentially, Sisters are a below average army on their own, but most of their problems can be fixed with allies.

	'''Space Marines (Red Hunters):''' If your group is OK with Forge World, and if you have the new Inquisitor supplement, then you can take a Space Marines force with the Red Hunter chapter tactic as battle brothers. The problem is that there is a lot of overlap between your two ~~dexes~~- you're both bolter shooting, power armour wearing armies, just that they shoot better, while you have more bodies and therefore more shots. However the actual nature of the Red Hunters chapter tactic makes them ideal for supplementing a sister force, in that they get a number of one turn special rules the longer the game goes on, at turn three or even two you stand to have all of your ally units with Tank Hunter or even Skyfire. Combine this with your priests and you can boost the marines to absurd heights.
