Remove the Power Weapon and the Brazier from the Cannoness. Strength 3 Power Weapons are a bit underwelming. You should go for a Blessed Weapon Str 5 or an Eviserator Str 8 but init 1 if you want some close combat for your Cannoness. An Inferno Pistol is nice to make use of the Cannoness bs5. Although its nicer if you have Jump Pack or are mounted in a vehicle to get clsoe to vehicles to use the Inferno pistol on them. Cannoness always should have the book of st lucious for taking leadership tests. Its like the best 5 pts spent in the game.

Remove Repentia if you really want assault in a Sisters list run Seraphim with a Vet Superior with an Eviserator with 2 jump cannonesses with Eviserators or Blessed Weapon. They move father with jump packs, have 2 flamers and have hit and run so they don't get stuck in.

230 points buys you 8 seraphim with 2 hand flamers, vet with eviserator. For added punch add a jump cannoness with cloak of aspira, jump pack, either blessed weapon or evisierator, inferno pistol.

That being said I really prefer all mech in 5th edition

Battle Sisters Squads should be run with a Vet Superior with a Book of St Lucius to ensure you stick around. I like to arm them with Melta and Heavy Flamer for the well rounded approach, I like to have the option of shooting a melta or the flamer out the fire point of the Rhino as well. However flamer heavy flamer and 2 melta are good choices. No reason to go 2 flamer, heavy flamer is better wounds easier at str5 and ap4.

Also always buy transport vehicles like Rhinos or Immolators Extra armor so you don't get stunned and Smoke Launchers so you have a turn with cover saves as you advance.

Melta bombs on dominions aren't very useful. You can't move after you disembark so you can't assault to use them. Better to flame some infantry with your 4 flamers.

Holy Icon for the Immolators is not necessary give them extra armor and smokes.

Exorcists really don't need any upgrades. You tend to sit them in cover if possible and shoot. Points are better spent elsewhere.

Remove Pentinent Engine for a 3rd Exorcist. Pertinent Engines die fast. AV10 open topped has a life span of a mayfly in spring.

pretty much right on with the first poster.

Except i'd add in that you might as well completely forget about the Repentia all together. Cut off their arms for some exicerator conversions and thats about all they are good for. They look cool the idea is nice but they suck. period.

Has anyone used the Sisters Repentia sucessfully.
Got them into assault range, survived the int1 and were able to attack?

If you took a maximum sized squad, a few may live to swing. You would have thrown hundreds of points away to absolutely no effect, but you would have a moral victory...?
