I'm getting tired of my entire army just being drive forward hop out of vehicles to shoot then die in melee. I am aware with our new codex how this is about the only way sisters still have a chance at being tourney ready. This is more of a for fun list seeing if I can't gunline and actually kill stuff before it gets into melee range of the sisters.

it's struck me as funny how one of our cheaper upgrades for BSS is MM's. Was pretty much going to say if I won first turn have the vehicles out front then have all the sisters move up into cover and get ready for the dakka. If I go second I would probably have the sisters become a wall in front of the vehicles then head for cover if nothing got into range that turn. And I haven't bought a 3rd excorcist is why the retributors are still there.

pretty cool - what do you normally play against?

Normal shows are a couple of space puppies, an IG 1 demon player a GK player and the person I'm playing today will be the weirdest BA list I know

What about a combi-plasma on your Sister Superiors and switching back to dual melta's - this way when you get hop out your transports you'll be doing a lot more damage (and the repercussions of getting so close will therefore be much less severe). Sisters don't have much access to plasma weaponry and with so many marines running its a really useful addition to your sister squads - particularly when you take sister squads in bulk like you have here. I'd trust 2 melta's to get the job done on transports and vehicles and save the plasma for the MEQ's, TEQ's, particularly nasty squads or MC's.

A bit of mathhammer backs up my positive experience of using them, showing that on average, assuming you use your faith power you'll kill 4.09 MEQ's, so two of these squads teaming up will pretty much wipe out anything. The sister superior if your worried about her dying only has a 1/108 chance if once again you get the faith power off.

I think I would still play Uriah and a Conclave. Give them something to worry about if they decide to accost your gun line. They can hide behind the Exorcists and they are pretty durable in any case as long as you avoid high-strength and low-AP.
