After my last attempt at making a sisters list up the general consensus was that the squads weren't large enough and there was a severe lack of mobility in the list. I took the list back to the drawing board and came up with this. I will be including commentary on why I made the choices that I did. Any C&C is always appreciated as usual.

2 large sisters squads for slogging it across the table hopefully to hold down objectives or support the smaller squads. The 2 smaller squads will be riding in the dominions rhinos for mobility. There job is to get to the objective and hold it down till the larger force arrives to back them up.

The 2 dominion squads are there to both provide transport for the 10 man sisters squads and to provide small, mobile fire support. 10 BS4 bolter shots out to 24" after moving will help keep hordes down and possibly annoy heavier armored opponents and light skimmers and trukks. The seraphim are just a basic bodyguard for the cannoness.

I doubt the exorcists need explaining and I figure the 4 HB squad has always worked out for me in the past. I threw some extra bodies into the ret squad to soak casualties and because I had some extra points.

You should test some games out in 5th with the serephem... I am finding that due to true LoS.... the phem just don't last very long and are very expensive

Since your fast units are going to be kind of on their own, it would probably be a good idea to run the rhinos in a V formation (with the point directed towards the enemy) and then have the saraphem hide in the middle of the V.

except... they are taller then the rhinos.... meaning they can be shot at

Sounds like its time to take the clippers to the models.
