I posted a my 1000 pts Ravenguard list in the army section.

Here is my 1st battle with this list against a Sisters of Battle Army.

Sisters army list

2 units of 10 sisters with vet sister

1 unit of 10 sisters in rhine

1 unit of 10 seraphim

1 helltank? D6 attacks at str 8 I think. 13 front armor

1 hero class

Each unit had a heavy flamer and melta


The mission is pitched battle with objectives.
Terrian is as follows. At 12 oclock a ditch, at 2 a woods at 3 a woods, at 5 a ruined 1 story building, at 6 slightly closer to the middle a big stone that obscures line of sight, at 8 a small wood.

My objective behind stone his in ditch. He goes 1st and places his hero with a sisters unit (S1)in the ditch and another sisters unit (S2) in the woods at 2 oclock.

I place sniper scouts (SS) as a large unit in woods at 8 oclock and tactical marines ™ in ruined building with chaplain.

Turn1
Since round 1 is night fighting rules, S2 moves out of the woods south towards the TM and make it in between the woods at 2 and 3 oclock. No moving on my turn, shots were fired but all short.

Turn 2
His Rhino comes in play and moves on the east side between the ditch and woods. S2 moves into woods at 3 oclock. Out of range for shooting.
None of my units come in play from reserves. Snipers shoot S2 and kill one. They fail pinning test. TM missile shoots rhino and wrecks it. S3 pops out and passes pinning test.

Turn 3
Both helltank and seraphim arrive. Tank blasts my TM and kills 1. Seraphim and S3 move forward towards my objective.
Assault marines (AM) and close combat scouts (CS) arrive and move as far as they can towards my objective. Chaplain joins AM. Scouts shoot S3 and kill 3. They pass pinning test. TM shoots at S2 and kills 1.

Turn 4
Hellfire tank, seraphim and S3 shoot at AM and kill 4. Fearless so no morale test. Seraphim assault AM and kill 3, AM and Chaplian kill 4 in return and they pass morale test. Hero moves from S1 to S3.
Devastators arrive and run to ruin. TM move out of cover towards S2. Sniper scouts shoot S3 and kill 2, and they pass pinning test. CS assault Seraphim and with AM wipe out Seraphim. Both units consolidate behind rock with objective. TM kill 2 in S2 and lose 3 in return. Horrible rolling. Pass leadership test.

Turn 5
Hellfire Tank shoots at CS and kills 4. S3 shoots AM and kills 1. TM kill 3 in S2 and lose 2 in return. Pass leadership test.
Devastators shoot at helltank and stun and shock it (cant move or shoot). Snipers shoot S1 and kill 1. AM move as close to S1 as they can and roll 2&3 for charge and needed 4. Stuck in open. CS charge S3 with hero. They kill all but 1 in S3 and hero and lose 2 in return. Pass leadership test. TM kill 2 sisters and lose 2, tie.

Turn 6.
S1 shoots AM and Chaplain and kills all the AM. S2 is wiped out by TM and Hero and S3 killed by powerfist after losing 2 CS. Scouts consolidate towards S1. Snipers shoot S1 and kill 3. Devastators stun lock tank again and scouts and chaplain hit S1 which has about 5 models left. Uses ability to get invulnerable 3+ saves but rolls bad and all 5 die. I hold both objectives and win.

Ive learn that the women are no match in close combat to space marines and shoot just as well…so get into CC, also GW isn’t sexist at all…./wink

Now im 3-1-1 with Space Marines

I find the Exorcist (The SOB artillery tank, is it?) one of most effective vehicel in SOB army. I never play it, but seems alot of SOB players use them!

Yeah, the "hell tank" that Sever referring too is the Exorsist tank. Sounds like a solid battle and your tactics worked out for you.

And yah, SOB suck at CC.
