Murderous Prowess, Charge Defense against Large Wall of text here, I have compared sisters vs black guard against both low AP and High AP missile units and chaff and elite infantry Hopefully all my calculations are correct. Blackguards are good as flank guard, or just leave them out and bring the ultimate Anti-large units, Shades, missiles get to the enemy faster than Blackguards will walk there.ĮDIT (to be fair)_: BlackGuards will be very good against factions with not much AP missile dmg and lots of large, Namely Lizardmen and Vampire Counts, They will also outperform against melee infantry that has magical or fire dmg, since that one circumvents the physical resist of the sisters. I think the stats here are clear, you are better off with Sisters of slaughter front line, they will hold the line better, allowing your other units to deal dmg, which is what a frontline unit should do. I don't know if black guard boosting lord traits exist for De. There is a Lord trait that adds another 10% ward save to sisters and witch elves. Sisters cost 100 less upkeep, can get 5% ward save pretty early in the tech tree and outperform tanking enemy infantry, but they deal less dmg, unless they start losing.

Low Armor Piercing missile units (high elf archer) Edit: I screwed up, 20% missile physical resist works for missiles too.
