This is my first list so I really need critique. I decided to build a 1750 point army since that’s what seems to be played a lot, but I have made a modified list that equates to 1500 points, though I am not sure what to add to finish it off.

As you can see the 1500 list has 113 points spare and I am not sure what to include , I was thinking perhaps another immolator, another celestian squad or an cheap inquisitor and an orbital strike.

Any comments are welcome.

You should get yourself Rhinos for the Troops...replace heavy bolters with heavy flamer(celestians) and Multimeltas(retributors)..and you don't need those imagifiers-because they cost almost as 10 sisters or 9 imperial stormtroopers with plasmagun (they can hold your objective..for exemple)
I don't play Witch Hunters..but I have seen them in battle and this is my opinion..

Get rid of all the Imagifiers?

Yes..you don't need them..because they won't help you much..
I haven't seen Witch Hunter list with imagifer in 1500/1750/2000 pts..just in Apocalipse..to fill points..
Stormtrooper squad with Plasmagun is better,but 2 Rhinos for troop Sisters are the best option for you..

I suggest somehow getting more sisters

In the troops slot or just in general?

Yeah I think Rhinos would be best, I dont really want storm troopers since I am going for as much faith as possible.

Faith cannot replace meltaguns.

You need more vehicles.

Canoness- Eviscerator, Inferno pistol, Cloak of St. Aspira, Jump pack – 125
3x Battle Sister Squad(each with 9 sisters) + Veteran S. (eviscerator)-flamer,h. flamer in Rhino (extra armor,smoke launchers)- 675
2x Exorcist (extra armor,smoke launchers)- 286
Dominion Squad( 4 sisters) + Veteran Superior(chainsword,bolt pistol)-4x meltagun;in Immolator (extra armor, smoke launchers )- 202
Seraphim Squad (6 sisters) + Veteran Superior(eviscerator)- 2x twin flamers- 203

TOTAL- 1491

Try this list...

Its not bad for a casual list... If you wanted to make it more competitive tho i would make a coupe of changes.
I've won a couple of RTT's with this setup @ 1500:

Canoness: Jump Pack, Cloak, Blessed Weapon, PLasma Pistol or Inferno Pistol
2x Celestians: 5 girls, 2 meltas
2 immos w/flamers
3x sob's: 1 w/ flamer/Hflamer, 1 w/ melta/Hflamer, 1 w/ 2 meltas
3 Vss's w/ BSL
3 rhinos w/ ea
seraphim: 2 HF's
Vss w/ Eviscerator and Bsl
2x excorcist

Now a little xplanation of how I sasved you points:
Rosarius is not needed for canoness cause if you get off your AoF you have a 2+ invuln save
Vets for celestians are unnecesary as the squad already is faithful and leadership 9
you don't really need seraphim because SoB squads in rhinos are alot more point effective (but I run 1 squad for their flavor and fluff reasons. )

@1750 competitively I usually just add another SoB with rhino or for fun add elite inquisitor and Calidus assasin ^_^

Either way its not too far off your original list but have fun with it...

Thanks Telion and Cadaver

Enjoy!
