So I've been tweaking my Sisters lists to try to fill the holes where sisters are weak. In so doing I've allied with Grey Knights:

Competitive??

Although I like the list, especially since the Dreadknight will be a nice bullet magnet, I think you should drop one of the sister squads to at least give the Doms something. One thing I noticed in a game I played yesterday once my Immolators started going down, so did a lot of my firepower, even when the girls were decked out with HF, F and a CF because I basically had to hoof it to get in range. I think the extra fire power you'll get from those points will be well worth the drop of a single sister squad.

Can't believe you haven't got any special weapons on your sisters? That's what makes the sisters immo spam list work, sorry but pure bolter list just doesn't cut it, people behind adls or units which have a 4+ better save will laugh your shooting off.

I edited my list above, removed one squad and put specials in all the sisters squads.

Any suggestions?

Looking much better dude, only thing I would suggest now is maybe drop one dominion squad so you can pump the other 2 up to 4 meltas each as ignoring cover melta guns are nasty! This also means you will have points left over to upgrade one of the Flamers in each sister squad to a heavy flamer. And maybe throw some Condemnor bolt guns around with any spare points too then I think your all set

I think you can somewhat get away with no specials on the BSS if you just deck out those Doms. I think it will give your list a strong beta strike whether they're outflanking or scouting up. It'll synergize with your Dreadknight, who likely teleported up turn 1 and can't assault until turn 2 anyway, thus you will be able to hit hard with all 4 units. At least that's the idea anyway. Alternatively, I think Ape's idea isn't a bad one either if you'd rather spread the killing potential around to the rest of your army.

Ummm... What does Coteaz cast his powers on? The Dreadknight?

To be honest the thing sisters are weak at is AA, a much better ally would be space marines, chapter master with shield eternal, hammer, artificer, jumppack in a stormraven with a stormtalon, thunderfire cannon and a unit of scouts. Would cost around 800 points but you get all the AA you need a beatstick of a chapter master, a camping backfield unit and a barrage horde weapon.

Also as far as your list goes, dominions should almost always have 4 melta, and a combi melta unless your condemnor spamming than 4 melta and comdemnor, the immolators for dominions should have laud hailers, and 1 condemnor isn't going to do much so either have a decent number or have none, i would opt to 6-8 on the sisters squads.

Yeah, this list needs a bit of work, I think.

Thanks for all the input. I have changed the list by maximizing the specials in my squads, and have taken out the DreadKnight. I feel that to do the DreadKnight with all the tools it needs will take away effectiveness from my other units.

I want to keep Coteaz for his de/buffs...Of all the non-Primaris Divination powers, five work either on Coteaz and his unit directly or affect an enemy unit. Coteaz also helps me control the initiative and gives me a 12" bubble against deep-strikes.

Looks like a good list, but who is Coteaz casting blessings on, 3 bolters? Dont get me wrong, he's good anyway, but I'd bring a better retinue for him.

Yeah, Coteaz needs a retinue. Otherwise he's going to die far to quick to cast anything. What's up with the Canoness? Just a cheap HQ? Uriah would be better.
