Warhammer 40K Meta Hotness: Sisters Repentia
Sisters Repentia are one of the cornerstones of the Bloody Rose army. You will play against them if you plan on going to an event anytime soon.
Probably the best army right now is the Sisters of Battle – aka Adeptus Sororitas. A mixture of efficient units, powerful secondaries, and powerful interactions create a very – well powerful army. Sisters Repentia carry a giant chainsword, re-roll their attacks, and have feel-no-pain. They are the ultimate problem solver as they can just hit crazy hard. With Bloody Rose they get extra attacks and extra AP value as they come crashing in. Throw in the Bloody Rose and they just start getting crazy amounts of damage that buzzsaw thru your saves.
Sisters Repentia Basics
One of the best trade units in the game. If they get there they start destroying whatever they hit. They can do a lot of consistent damage and there are very few things that survive a Bloody Rose Sisters Repentia charge. Throw them in a Rhino and point this murder missile at something you want to be deleted. They are a crazy Zealot assault unit that throws out a bucket of dice at whatever they are thrown into.
Why Are Sisters Repentia good?
They are cheap and trade so well with the enemy that it is hard to come back from a charge. They are the ultimate zealot missile of doom ready to chain saw you up like some kind of serial killer hiding in that spooky haunted house. At 14 points per model with a decent amount of attacks they are just super good.

Sisters Repentia Closing Thoughts
Sisters Repentia are just awesome. Cheap, offensive, and a pain to remove. They are going to show up in every Sisters list just due to the fact they can trade with units and punch up if they have too. A mixture of stratagems means they always get a chance to do damage as well.
