i haven't actually read a grey knight codex but from what i read it sounds like they are all psychics? would this not make the sisters of battle uber good verse them? like they can take so much anti witch gear that i was just wondering

Looking through the current codex...no. They're good at handling individual characters because they have a couple aces up the sleeve when dealing with a psycher. Dealing with an army of psychers...not so much. The average sister really is just a bolter chambered with a slug and some faith.

Though that faith can turn the bolter shells into AP3 or give the sisters more attacks or greater strength in cc or turn their flamers into marine-eating monsters...

Oh yes, but it doesn't lend any additional weight towards psykers specifically.

They do have a few pieces of wargear that would make a single sister very dangerous to psykers.

Sisters can negate any psychic power that is 'casted' on them or with they are in the AOE of the "spell" on a 4 or 5 plus. Of course this doesn't work against Daemons, because those powers aren't psychic......

Casted, eh?

So traditional stuff like an Eldar Farseer using his psychic powers are obviously covered, but a psychic melee weapon wouldn't be? For instance, what are they called.... Force Swords?

ya force swords are. i asked at my gw store. any power used on them specifically (so like not stuff that buffs ur units) can be negated by there shield of faith we even decided this works for there vehicles since they are driven by sorotas. and i was thinking what if u just decked out 2 canoness with anti psyker gear. they would be deadly

 

[IdofEntity]

we even decided this works for there vehicles since they are driven by sorotas.

I am hesitant to accept that as a valid ruling. Is there anything in the rule books that hints that this might be extended towards the vehicle? Is that just for dedicated transports, or would a Heavy Support vehicle benefit from that as well?

well we looked at the vehicles and in the description it says they are piloted by sorotas sisters. then when u look at the shield of faith its says all sorotas sisters have it. but sorry i mis spoke we only use it if there is a crew shaken or stuned. stuff that acctually happens to just the vehicle goes normally. but still it helped him lots if only manage to stun a exorcist he can shrug it off on the shield save and keeep firing
