You have alot of stuff, but literally no long range firepower.

How does your army deal with longrange firepower armies? and how do your repentia do anything if nobody approaches your table edge?

Retributors have some long-range power, and outside of HS there aren't any other FoC options for 24"+ shooting. So dropping a HS slot for the Penitents doesn't really change the range of the army.

I guess we'll see how he handles a rangey opponent in game 3. One thing that helps SoB is that multi-objective missions (for the most part) won't let you just stand and shoot. You'll have to try and take objectives at some point. It also helps that Dominions, with their Scout move, act like long-range fire.

To counter this I place Celestine 18 inches away from his blob squad and run everything on my turn. ... Celestine then jumps forward flamers 5 guys’ dead, charges and kills 4 more. Off to a great start…

Shouldn't Celestine not be able to get a Turn 1 charge? I can't remember if you have to deploy at exactly 18" or more than 18" in DoW. Either way, your opponent was foolish to not deny her the charge by removing the 5 closest models from the blob.

Ah. I didn't realize you were going second.

All in all, nice work reppin' the Sisters. You're inspiring me to trot out my Repentia. I got a box when they were first released years ago and I've never put them together. I'm thinking about splitting them into two squads in Immos stolen from my Retributors.
