Sisters basically need more unique weapons options. Keep them in line with bolter/flamer/melta, but give them styles of bolter/flamer/melta that no other army has access to. Let Celestians take power spears/swords and combat shields similar to some of the 2e and 3e artwork, so they have an actual purpose in lists and provide a close combat unit that's different enough from both repentia to give variety in that regard. New tanks that look like roving cathedrals, that aren't just rhino based vehicles.

I mean, the Immolator is claimed to be a separate STC from the Razorback, but it really just looks like a modified turret for a razor.

This, ENTIRELY this.

Just because we have Repentia doesn't mean they're all we need, nor that they're all that can fit in the faction.

In fourth edition I had a single basic battle sister tie up Abbadon for an entire game (combination of terrible rolling and cheesy acts of faith), that doesn't mean we couldn't use more variety.

Hell, we have official art of Sisters wielding power-glaives. Having Celestians wield them as part of their bodyguard role would actually give Celestians a purpose.

It isn't that AoF's themselves are bad, unless you play pure foot Sisters they don't scale. There is simply no way to make the AoF's available to the units you want to use them on. Celestine is almost always going to be using her own, which gives us the sole 2+ army wide AoF to divide between all the Seraphim, Dominions and otherwise mech'd up units that spend the entire game moving away from your Imagifers.

Like many have said the AoF's themselves are fine, Sisters just need a way to make them available to the units we actually use while they do the things they do. One Imagifer is good for Retributors if you can't afford a second squad of them, after that, not so much.

Pretty much this. I like the AoFs themselves, myself. But the implementation of how you actually use them needs fixing.
