2,000 on the nose. Plan in general is:

Exorcists stay in the back, putting fire downrange. Can still advance and shoot, but that's an "if-needed" thing.
Battle Sister squads move forward and put shots downrange, taking the midfield.
Penitent Engines either eat anti-tank fire and save the Exorcists, or don't, and become a nuisance. Load-out is designed to allow me to kill whichever non-mixed Engine is least useful at the moment in battle.
Arcos, Retributors, and Hospitaliers go in the Rhinos. They advance forward, likely popping smoke, then get out and cause havoc.

So, obvious questions:

How can I improve the list?
How should I divvy up Warlord traits and Relics?
Any general advice?

Note, I do not own a single Sisters model, so I am free to change the list heavily.

you don't have a lot of anti-tank. that might be alright if you're in a infantry focused area but it could cost you heavily if you run into a guard armored list or something

I agree that this list seems light on AT with only 2 exorcists and pengines doing the work. Maybe switch out some heavy flamers for MM. The strat that adds 12" means Rets can start on the board OLOS, then shoot effectively 36" with 2 dice chose one at 18"

edited- derp on unit name

I'd max out 3 exorcists no doubt. In my research I'm thinking the Repentia are a better CC option over the flagellants and the models look a lot better as well...once they are released of course. Having the CC option as a bloody rose detachment is also a better idea especially if you add the cannoness with the relic chainsword who looks awesome for conversion possibilities. 70 pts on Hospitalier may be unlikely to get your points back.
