Loose the Storm Bolters in the Sisters Squads.

Loose the Extra Armor on everything.

Loose the Hunter Killer Missels on everything.

Loose the Melta Bombs on everything.

I'd add another Dominion Squad, but I'd have both of them be 5 models strong in Immolators. Give one squad all Meltas the other all Flamers.

Also add some Simulacrum Imperialis

Wow. You definitely have upgrade-itis.

Why a confessor and not Jacobus? For 5 points you get serious utility upgrade.

I agree with dropping EA and HKM, MB on everything. They are just spare points that don't get you a lot.

The storm bolters aren't bad in the Sisters squads, but I prefer Flamers.

Also, the PW/PP/MB combo on every Superior is a lot of points for little gain. You could probably add another squad just in those points.

Take a Simulacrum for your Retributors. You need their act to go off.

A second dom squad would certainly help.

Also, if you're not going to take a rhino, take a MM for your sisters.

Add a Dominion Squad with 2xFlamer, 1 Combi and TLMM Immo for the difference.

If you have the leftover, try to get extra rhinos for your sisters and swap the Storm Bolters for MM, they are just useful and you can have the repentia jump into one.

Honesty, some of it is "Wysiwig" All my Superiors have plasma pistols and power swords. I disagree with dropping the meltas, I like having last ditch things to hurt land raiders if I have to. And I can't make full squads without the Storm Bolters, they're part of my current mix. Working on replacements now. H/Ks are there because they make rhinos a threat occasionally.

As to the 2nd list, I can field a 4th sisters squad like that, but I'm really not comfortable without melta bombs and power swords in all my units.

Well, the power swords can just be painted without the power fields, that's not a big WYSIWYG issue. The PP are though, so you have to keep those.

Keep the PW, MB and HK if you find them useful, but know that that our belief is that they are a unneeded point sink for the value you are going to get. If you're set on your path, just tell us and we'll let you be.

Also, if you're looking for more sisters, check out my Swap Shop thread. I'm selling plenty.

I've got a full 10-squad still mint in box, so that should clear out the necessary pieces I need.

I've only played one game with this list, and it beat down a marine drop pod army bad, but he didn't take dreads, and his terminators had a bad round of being shot by exorcists.

There is no Sister Superior model with a plasma pistol and a power sword except for the original Seraphim Superior. There's a Superior with a plasma pistol and a chainsword and there is a Superior with a power sword and a bolter. If you got a Battle Sister Superior with plasma pistol and power sword, it's a conversion.

Instead of a fourth BS squad, think of more Dominions. This codex has two good units, Exorcists and Dominons in multi-melta Immolators. Some of the others are so-so, but most of it is crap. Dominons are good with either flamers or meltas. Scouting multi-meltas are priceless. Exorcists are game winners, sometimes they're all that's needed. I just won a game in which every kill point was achieved by Exorcists. They out-shot an entire 1500-point Marine army. True story.

Melta bombs are not a complete waste, except on the Mistress; I mean, the whole unit has eviscerators for crying out loud. It's an awful unit, and you should really look for something else to play, but if they do manage to get near a vehicle, you won't need those melta bombs.

By my math, that's 115 points.

all my chain swords are modded to Power swords, long ago and in a galaxy far far away. I dropped the Meltas, on reconsideration.
I'm working on a new build, considering what's been said to me.

I would go out and buy a 3 pack of Sisters to use as Superiors, that way you can throw a combi-melta on them without having to worry about additional modeling. Then put away the old Superiors for the day when maybe they give Pistol/Chainsword to Celestians. I did this for my SoB and it was the best 9 dollars I ever spent.

Where does the Canoness go? I guess with the Command squad, if that is the case I would look at her as a bullet magnet and not an actual unit. She is like the old Priests - the tax you pay to get a command squad. As such, she should be naked.

Even at the decreased cost I dislike the new Priests, I guess I would give them an Eviscerator and that is it. They can catch a few bullets for Repentia.

Give your Rets a Rhino so the Repentia can steal it and move up the field.

For your Storm Bolters - get out a dremmel and cut out the Storm Bolter, then buy the 9 dolar pack of Meltas for Space Marines and some Green Stuff. This should let you throw a Melta on all of them so they stop being total suck. I am awful at modeling, and I was even able to do it convincingly enough that I have been asked where to get Meltas with 'that pose'
