I think that the sky is blue, and that it is starting to get cold this time of year

Specifically regarding your list, it looks interesting. How do you plan on synergizing the SoB with the rest of the army?

Depending on the enemy they will camp back field objectives. Or move forward and create null psychic zones against deaths tars and demons. With 4 flamers apiece and ap2 weapons at initial. Have fun assaulting them. While readers move shoot and charge. Corsair jet bikes outflank and late game objective grab.

TBH, I just dont see much synergy going on here. Why not just stay pure DE and throw a few Helm of Spites around?  

Its not like we need to go out of codex for good CC options... The Court basically does this same thing (minus the Psyker death), but with AP3 on the flamers and no "One Eye Open" to watch out for (and promptly forget about

It's an Artefact of Cruelty so you can only have a single Helm of Spite.

I agree, I feel like you are shoehorning the SoB in here just because they have a killer anti-psycher ability. Is there any reason fluff-wise why the SoB would be working together? I can't think of many reasons other then an invasion of a secondary threat while already fighting a primary threat (Either the DE or the Sob in this case). I love bikes though so I'm going to monitor this thread, thanks for posting!

That isn't the synergy their talking about, AFAICT from context and their posting history they mean that they don't synergize well on the table. I highly doubt any member of our community would have a fluff problem with someone choosing to incorporate other rules into their play. Like a Bastion or an assassin, the first completely legal in a DE CAD and the second perfectly viable in a dark eldar army, you'd simply have to dark eldar them before you play.

Were I to hazard a guess as to what fisheyes means is that they are expensive, slow, and aside from their anti-psyker shenanigans don't contribute in such away as to cover weaknesses in the other decisions in building the army.

That's agreeable. I guess I lean towards making the army believable, but that is simply a personal choice. I think the sisters would need some sort of transport to keep up with the rest of the army if the scenario that he described fails.

Transport(s). we're talking about three units, and they neither have access to their own nor can ride in ours.

Ok, from my playing experience, the bike portion of this list can deal with most threats. The List is super mobile, so i don't mind having three slower units on foot. In fact i find that that helps me avoid one eye open because the sisters have limited mobility. The flamer spam they bring helps against the new cult. they help the attrition war against summoning, and give me a chance at fighting deathstars.

As for fluff, heck if Vect hears for these women, I would think he would make it a priority to capture a couple and have the Heamoculi rip the anti psychic nature out of sisters genome and apply it to their own creations. At least that is how i'm planning to model them.

I would love to see some custom SoS models with a DE twist. To be honest, as a player of a couple of other armies it would be a real curve ball to have to deal with the sisters out of the blue like that.
