So the plan here is pretty simple. Infantry Platoons sit back and hug objectives, sisters in rhinos/immolators charge forward, followed by the inquistor and rough riders in the cover of the tanks to deal with counter assaults. Inquisitor is fitted to hopefully win combats with I5, WS5, and His Will Be Done to cause double LD penalties/extra wounds. Everything should be at LD10 with the Holy Icons.

Well you have a mix of just about everything.

Inquisitors win CC against Tau and that's about it.

You cannot have 4 acolytes in a Lord retinue. Only special characters get 0-4 of anything.

You've spent alot of points on +LD gear when what you want are Books of St. Lucius.

You are also running a mech force with Sisters, which doesn't work unless it's all Sisters.

Sisters do not need countercharge units.

I have no idea what you are trying to do with the IG, but it's all wrong.

Rough Riders in a mech army...don't work. They can still see you, and you die or run away after getting shot at.

Gotta try again. What is your focus? What do you want to do?

K so axe the inquisitor I will gear him up some other way. I want to use imperial guard and rough riders for fluff purposes (the sisters and guard in this list are proxies for heretics, and I have some cold ones for the rough riders) and because I have a LRBT and some converted heretic guard already. Knowing that, what is the best way to utilize sisters in a list with 2 guard platoons, a LRBT, and some rough riders (the rough riders can go if they are really really dead weight)?

Thanks for the response stelek.

On foot man.

You can run RR but you better hide them behind your Leman Russ, else they're dead.

FWIW, Sisters are really expensive to run.

IG + Vehicles only really works if you have enough guard to form a gunline AND lots of vehicle targets AND pose a drop threat.

That means it's more difficult to do this kind of army, and having just 1 vehicle means it'll die early.
