He's got a lot of flamer tanks. His infantry is quite beefy as well-one auto cannon.
MIne: overlord
nemesor
32 warriors
10 immortals
12 Wraiths
2 nightscythes
3 Annihilation Barges
3 destroyers

Am I apt enough? How should I go about this? What would you do?

Your list is overall pretty solid, and the Sister's book is decidedly...sparse. That being said, most sisters vehicles are pretty thin skinned and thus perfect targets for Tesla destructors. Once you take away his metal bawkses you can determine the rules of engagement as sisters really prefer to be in melta range for their shooting, which you can repeatedly deny them the chance to get to.

Also remember that they have T3 and you have a cheap S7 AP2 weapon and thus can turn any fancy unit he uses inside out in a challenge. I'd recommend some Lords from a court if you want some challenge fodder, possibly taking some stuff out to fit them in.

Also, don't be afraid to assault, yes, assault. Your T and Strength is better than theirs and you have RP, they don't. Sisters need their guns more than traditional MEQs do, so your wraiths should be star players here.

What should I add or take away from my army? Any HQ suggestions?

If your overlord has a warscythe, he could suffice on his own as he'll gib any sister he touches.

Does your opponent run Saint Celestine? Because if so you have already lost.

Seriously though, if he is running Celestine don't allow your HQ to get bogged down into combat with her. She is the tar pit to end all tar pits. Seraphim with inferno pistols should also be targeted early on and neutralized as they can wreak havoc on your flanks if left unchecked.

Other than that Sisters are pretty easy to crack. As stated their low toughness means they die in assault easily and they have limited mobility and long range firepower. If you can stay outside their 12-24" bolter bubble, you can avoid most return fire and pick them apart piecemeal.

Yes he is. That bitch of a woman is annoying as hell. I suppose I'll just stay away from her. She is a thorn in my side.

I think you should be alright, I wouldn't fancy sending my Sisters against that list.

Watch out for Exorcists s8 ap1 is pretty nasty against vehickes and multi would models if it can double them out.

Do you know what your opponent is running more specifically.

Luckily most Necron HQs are T5 and thus immune to instant death by krak missile.
