I'm increasingly disenchanted with that idea. It's one thing to have a couple weapon loadouts, but changing stats which affect the battlefield role in dramatic ways is another. I really think radical choices should be listed as separate unit types instead of being lumped together.

I agree with Neal, I prefer split profiles for clarity reasons.

OK Just put out v1.2 so I can consolidate all your changes into one document! I played a scenario last night with v1.1 and some tweaks, but not all of them...

I can't put out a full 1.2 until a last few issues are squared with Lord I, but I can put out a 1.2 draft with the most likely options.

I think we're pretty much agreed on most points and you know my opinion on those that we don't. For the time being just go with what you want to do. Your choice on the penitents and arcos as well ... They may be cut from Ordo Hereticus. The only bone of contention is the dominions, which I think should be modelled after the fire dragons or abstracted to having multimeltas ... but I'm not going to fight too much.

Put together the changes and get it out - after all we can always change the changes but it's good to get playtesting!

Belatedly updated to version 1.2 based on the changes agreed in this thread.



Changes:

Removed Order Famulous Inductions
Renamed imperial guard company to Fraternis Militia, moved to ecclesiarchy

Renamed Immolator to Immolator (Standard Pattern)
Added Immolator (Justice Pattern)
Added Lightning Fighter
Removed Faithful from the sororitas characters and added it to all sororitas units other than repentia
Changed Faithful rule to only affect Faithful units (not much of a change since the vehicles have gained it anyway)
Change Faithful to give Reinforced Armour instead of Thick Rear Armour and Invulnerable Save
Palatine gained Inspiring and MW on the CC EA, which was renamed to Blessed Weapon
Reduced Allies contingent to ¼
Added dominions to transport options for rhino, immolators and repressor (typo fix)

Increased Immolator (Standard Pattern) FF to 3+
Decreased Penitent Engine CC to 5+ and increased its Extra Attacks to +2
Added Penitents upgrade to the Flagellation Pilgrimage

Future things that need looking into, ignoring the stat variations from Lord I's list for now...

Redemptionists - They're currently pretty pointless as anything other than a cheap meat shield. Can something be done to make them more interesting?

CC4+? It could represent exterminators and zealots with evicerators and massive weapons etc.

A ranged weapon? While they don't use heavy weapons in Necromunda, they do use plasma guns and grenade launchers. The 40k chapter approved sisters list with redemptionists also gave them access to heavy weapons.

A transport option? Chimeras, land transports, pulpiteks....

Mobile Chapels/Cathedrals - It's about time I came up with stats for these!

DC3 chapel, something like a baneblade-sized transport with a larger exorcist launcher or a giant flamer or something.
DC6-8 Cathedral with various weapons and a large transport capacity.

It's not a sisters list, it's an adeptus ministorum list, and as such very high ranking priests can be present, of easily supreme commander level.



No similar official vehicles (and just about nothing else official) has Ignore Cover FF. Hellhounds, skorchas etc.



For the chapel, more like a superheavy with transport capacity. Something like the 40k stormlord.



I won't be matter printing designs for them if that's what you mean; the costs would be huge.

Thanks Angel, there are a lot of good ideas there I'll definitely be using as inspiration.



The Ecclesiarchy are banned from having their own space ships due to the decree passive, meaning that there are no Adepta Sororitas Strike Cruisers in the 40k universe; they are transported either by the imperial navy or the inquisition. Earlier versions of the list had a navy cruiser, but I removed it in this version to focus more on the ecclesiarchy and less on their allies. It may return in a future version.

Oh, another change from the previous version that I forgot to note; I removed first strike from the Mistress' Neural Whips, because it was actually a massive disadvantage; if she killed the base she was in contact with in the first stike phase, the unit she was with wouldn't get to use their MW attack as they'd no longer be in combat!

I particularly like the use of larger scale melta and flame weaponry, expecially the ignore cover BP on some of them.

I'm also tempted by the idea of multiple chapels, but will likely start off with just one.

On the downside, 5cm move and short gun ranges makes them pretty ineffective. I'll likely go with a 15cm move on the baneblade-equivilent chapel, perhaps 10cm on the cathedral. I'll probably have some longer ranged weaponry too, to fill a niche in the list.
