It's a matter of hours to implement and test/balance things.

The Sister Sentinel is very nice indeed.

The GSC lists gradually upgrade with time, late lists have more Genestealers - and tougher genestealers. This goes for space hulks too. Haven't yet integrated all the Broodbrother units yet, but got some plans there.

Exoarmor Squats for the player has been brainstormed, but its quite a bit of work for a rather narrow unit. Basically, whenever I or someone else gets around to it (any hardcore Squat fans out there?).

Same for more Kombiweapons and more gang weapons. And those are easier for anyone to create and add, if you got some openxcom modding knowledge. There's an older submod on this forum that has some I believe.

Webbers are not limited for Sisters. It requires STR_MIDTIER_PREREQ though. Capture a webber weapon, research it, research midtier and you can research STR_WEBBER.

The GSC Medicae are tough, but you do not require Krak/Melta to take them down. Form a tight cordon in your spawn and focus fire on them, lasguns will weaken their armor if you got 'em, otherwise bolters should be able to pen.
Also, their front armor is 80 but their rear armor is 40, and their under armor is 30. They have a 20% weakness to melee damage.

In other news, Filip H showed how to take down an entire GSC Space Hulk with 4 Scout Marines yesterday, first month.

Live build currently testing 1.07B Nurgle Cultists, Zombies and ~Midwives~ (spent the past weeks doing the sprite art for them), which are a nasty combo.

GSC Infector units turn people (melee). These include those Medicae, PDF Medics and any Genestealer. If you were playing sisters I'm guessing one got in through the "Front" door.

You can use all the webbers (pistol, normal, heavy) once you do the research.

The Pump shotguns and other light imperial stubbers don't require research to use beyond the standard small arms requirement. They're not military weapons so no codex entry. They're very similar to the combat shotguns right now, but slower rate of fire for slightly better range. Can use stun and gas shells (you can loot them off the GSC arbites).

The "SMG" Stubber can use normal stub gun ammo but also extended 30 round mags with lower power ammo (35 power, 25% less health damage, piddly armor damage). They shoot 6 round autobursts and 3 round snap bursts.

Should be save game compatible, but you can backup your version/save a zip.
Save games are kept elsewhere.
Delete old ROSIGMA folder, download new version, put new folder in the same place.

Your save game will keep existing enemy bases etc, and some bugs from 1.06 (Orks hijacking ships) may remain in your save. Any new base or mission generated should use 1.07.

Guard carapace is in the changelog and fixed:
- Fixed an adminstrative error, Carapace Armor is once again available for most Guardsmen for a small tithe.

Neverborn are now much weaker to fire damage. They also go down to plasma/lascannons (energy) and melta.

Lasguns count as AP, so don't work.

IRON WARRIORS Expansion:
- Added 7 Iron Warrior units. Soldiers, Breacher, Heavy/Havoc, Berserker, Medic, Terminator and a Warsmith with new battlesprite, inventory art etc. They favor physical and siege related weapons (bolters, flamers, meltas, autocannons, rocket launchers) and have sturdy armor and 20 more health compared to basic CSM with slightly better morale. Their TU, reaction stats and melee is worse. They take additional damage from melee attacks.
- Added 2 Iron Warrior Guard units. They have good flak armor, and like physical (no las), heavy weapons.
- Added 1 "Iron Maiden" Sister unit. These heretical augmented fake sisters of battle have- Doubters! The Warsmith is determined to engineer and produce the superior Sisters of Battle line! Sporting heavier armor, more efficient combat sensors, mass-production cost reductions and 100% more hazard stripes compared to rival versions. All at an affordable price and after-market customer service.
- These Iron Warriors will appear in a few other mixed Undivided lists and together with Obliterators.
- The Warsmithcounts as a true commander for winning the game, and will unlock several helpful technologies if captured and interrogated.

- Added a Iron Sisters list with mixed Heretic Sisters, Iron Maiden Sisters and Iron Warriors for midgame missions.
- Added a Iron Warrior racelist to appear by late game, more common in HARD mission sets (see below). Iron Warriors like to hang with Obliterators and Havocs.
- Added a Iron Berzerker racelist with mixed Khornate and Iron Warrior units.
- Added a Iron Terminator racelist to appear very late game and especially in HARD mission sets.
- Mixed in Iron Warriors in some other Undivided lists, replacing a few harder Black Legion elites.
- Added a Iron Warrior version of the Chaos Autocannon with different visuals and very slightly better stats (+5 acc, +1 ROF). This AC is used by IW Havocs, Terminators and Commander.

NIGHT LORDS Expansion:
- Added 2 Night Lords units, basic CSM and CSM Leader. Night Lord CSM are not particularly sturdy (for CSM) but have camo stealth, good night sight and uses new SCARE GAS GRENADES that do big morale damage. They also do more damage against targets with low morale/bravery.
- Added 3 Night Lords (Fake) Sisters, a mix of cosplaying pirate lasses and Death Metal Enthusiasts. The Night Lords just can´t get rid of their fangirls. Basic, sniper and leader. These have weak power armor (90 front, 35 rear) but really cool paintjobs (which is what counts), some camo value (not as good as the CSM but decent at night). They use a mix of stub smgs, pump shotguns, stub rifles, flamers and captured heretic deáz light bolters. They use a mix of pipe bombs and scare gas grenades if you get close.  What they lack in real Adeptas training they make up for with a can-do attitude.
- Added 3 Night Lords racelists, a basic one heavy on the new CSM, an early version and a deserter-mix version.
- Added Night Lords deserter, cultist mix and Night Sister mix lists.
- Added these Night Lords racelists to mission rotation, they favour terror and abduction missions. The deserter version will show up in later deserter missions on normal difficulty and more often on hard difficulty.


NECRON Changes:
- Necron metal now twice as sturdy (ominous creaking noises). They were pretty unchanged from vanilla stats, but ROSIGMA weapons pack a bit more of a punch.
 

MISSION changes:
- Lowered score penalty of Stormtalon and Exorcist support vehicles on the WAR mission set from 500 to 100.
- Added HARD mission sets that are active for Marines and Grey Knights from the start. These missions introduces harder enemies earlier in the playthrough but is similar towards the end with the normal list. Mainly so Marines aren't beating up on cultists and deserter guardsmen forever. Rushing the research Tiers will also activate these missions for other factions.
- Adjusted HARD infiltration missions to only use racelists that have true commanders.
- Added a HARD Terror Mission set and HARD base building with a bigger concentration of nasty CSM lists.
- Changed the final battle map seeding to stop players from spawning right next to the [REDACTED] objective. It's a surprise.
- Changed up each stage of the final battle, there will now be more enemies and surprises to fight - so prepare well!
- Replaced the hard Warptalon list in the early WAR mission with the Iron Warrior list to make it a little easier.
- Buffed the GSC Terror mission numbers and gave them more jeans thieves.
- Replaced Chaos Crafts with suitable Imperial Craft for GSC Civilian Terror Waves.
- Fix Z Height related crash issue on some maps.
- Chaos summoning efforts may now be more effective.

For "installation", replace the same-named files in your ROSIGMA mod folder (RULESET).

Some map fixes (elevators, doors on some UFOs):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HX3TTHRlOBvuuSs0y1cuMapjeFvxe9fS/view?usp=sharing

We'll put together a 1.06C release that also fixes some issues with Guard Carapace access, compatibility with OXCE 7.4, GSC using some Chaos craft for certain missions and a new HARD mission set for marines/GKs (and tech rush) + a bunch of other little fixes.

GK do have Dreadnoughts in the update, looking at changing up their starting loadouts.

There's some GK guns, Battle Servitors and their normal Power Armor that isn't in.

But yes, they don't have a ton of stuff to spend money on.

In testing the GK are indeed strong early on, although they can still get killed by certain enemies - a bigger issue is when they start getting wounded and end up in the medbay for a month.

Do report back if you manage to reach the late game with GK and how well they do (early game does turn them into maxed out super soldiers if they survive).

It's one of those Factions where you are either doing super well or terrible. Not much midground.

We're looking at expanding the "HARDER" mission branch for some of these stronger factions like GK and Primaris (and some Marine strategies), introducing chaos marines earlier etc just vs them.

In the meanwhile, the discord has the latest hotfix workarounds.
