Dominion Squad +1sister,+flammersx4+combiflamer-108

Heavy Support

Exorcistx3-375

Defence Line+quadgun-100

Now this leaves me with 22pts to play with

I thought about priests but well do not intend on getting the girls into cc if I can help it.

I am thinking of giving the two immolators in the squads with HB's,,,,twin HBolters? or just go all in with multimeltas

Should change your load out on your sisters squads to either be 2x melta gun, or 2x flamer. MM is useless almost because you're moving so often and your Immolator doesn't have a fire point. Same thing with heavy bolter, when you get out of the immolator you can only snapshot it, then your troops are going to need to cover ground to grab objectives. You don't want heavies in sisters squads, they don't have synergy at all. Instead of 2 6 man units of seraphim you should run one 10 man unit, it gives Celestine more of a bullet sponge and with 10 they get across the board to cause damage every time. Sisters mech are best played at a blitzkreig, move up quickly and overwhelm your opponent with too many targets. This is why sisters squads with stormbolters and heavy weapons are bad. Stick to melta guns, heavy flamers and flamers. They will always bring the best results.

Also your points are off on your Sisters squads.

5 man squads in immolators with MM/Melta Gun is 140 pts

I edited it so its clearer that the sisters squads are 10 strong.

basic strategy is that the hq squad sits back,surrounded by the defense line,sisters squads deploy forward,bracketing either side of the board,one squad supporting the other,one with anti tank,big nasty thing guns,the other with firepower thinning down hoards.

the seraphims deploy either together as a blob or separate the saint with one,jumping around flaming things,,,not sure how good shes gonna be as the zombie saints gone now.

dominions outflank,show up and flame things.

Did abit of retweeking

Why put multi meltas on the command squad? If you give them HB's they might be able to offer fire support. I use mine to camp on the Aegis and offer covering fire for my advancing squads.

Looks like a good list though. I like any list that uses a canoness and HQ squad. It'll be interesting to see how so many seraphim do.

Well there are two reasons

1, Using the models I have
2 To me they are somewhat of an extra HS slot,,,

I was going to use my defense line with quad gun,but after reading over the stronghold rules,,,yeah for my sisters I'll take 8 twin linked lascannons.

I love seraphim,,,,,,jumping all over cooking things,,,,,,because,well sisters love cooking things.just wish they could all still take meltabombs.

I'm really not a fan of the HB/SBx2 combo on the sister squad, but I guess we'll see how it works for you.

also, I'd rather have one big seraphim squad rather than two small ones.

Well again its a case of maximizing what I have,but also the two squads give me a fire base to support the anti armour units or for thinning down horde like units.

As to the two seraphim squads,,,I used to run them fully equipped with meltabombs for tank hunting ,deepstrike them into the back field and watch the tears start rolling.

Now I use them in two ways mainly depending on what I am facing.

Either as one big unit moving together giving me 4 flamers
along with the saint

or for jumping around,thinning down things and jumping out while the other squad supports the saint.
