Sisters of Battle will have the Lightning fighter as their air unit as well as being able to attach priests / missionaries to their Sister squads. They also get a third resource option: Faith with which they can perform miracle acts on the battlefield.

Dark ELdar still shoot purple laser like crap, ugly.

How do you harvest faith I wonder?

Through good old fashioned priest-rapes-altar-boy actions most likely.

No, from what I've read, you can divert resources (both requisition and power) into the production / creation of Faith. This in turn can be used for divine acts by Sororitas squads.

Will this mean that any Sister can be used as a Psyker?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sisters of Battle are the anti-psyker formation of the Imperium. They hate the witch and the psyker. Think of faith and the abilities it can unleash as divine acts of holy display. But NOT psychic powers.

I thought Psykers of the Imperium already used faith-fueled attacks.

Does this mean that the Sisters will excel against both Eldar Races?

AFAIK - sisters get save vs psychics in tabletop, so could be good against farseer et consortes, but dark eldar dont get any psykers at all...

Oh, I would have expected them to have some pretty dark or gruesome powers.

Really? I'm not familiar with the Dark Eldar, but that just kinda strikes me as a tad odd. I mean, the Eldar are a highly psychicly latent race, so wouldn't the Dark Eldar be as well?

AFAIK DE feed all psykers to Slaanesh so that they wont bring down demons into Commorragh...

As far as I know, they focus on the physical rather than the mind. They avoid the webway, I think, and they avoid the warp. They move about in splinter groups, and don't have psychics *because* of the Fall, and a fear of it.

Or something.

They're the other option to Soul Stones.

Actually, the DE use a bizarro / evil alternate version of the webway for their travels. THEY ARE THE SM ELDAR WITH BLACK HATS. It has come true.

So in essence DE are worshipers of Slaanesh?

Noooooooo.

As you should know, the Eldar went into "hiding" and started using Soul Stones one Slaanesh came into existance, for fear of it eating their souls. Pretty much, what the Dark Eldar do is sacfice souls so that theirs aren't taken.

Someone was joking about this just the other day. They were saying, "Hey! We're evil and crazy too! Kill us last please!" It was something like that.

DE are actually "drinking" souls of poor captives... this allows them to live pretty much forever unless they fall in battle or get backstabbed. See the Hasdrubael Vect in the "Torturers tale", it can be d-loaded from GW website
