Ok The list im going for is part mecha but mostly walking sisters. I know i could mount them up to be more effective and ahve the rhinos to do so, but right now id like to try something different. So with that in mind i need to know how this list looks when i know itll be going up against: mech tau&eldar, and also deal with an ork horde (think 100+ models), plus two emerging godzilla lists.  Is there any middle ground i can find that will work in an all comers list? Also i know the exorcist amount is abusive but is there any other reliable (at least in SoB terms of dealing with other mech armies?

Youre on the right track with a walking army. You're gonna find it hard keeping all three Exorcists alive. The best way to deal with 'Zilla is redemption squads with Heavy Bolter, Simulacrum and Guidance to autowound on a 6.

The only other way to deal with heavy armor I know of is dominion squad w/meltas + transport + luck (not getting ganked coming across board). Also, if you're concerned about armor, sub a twin linked fusion pistol for one of the flamers in the seraphim and deep strike close (big money, no whammys!) on his armor for the side shot.

I don't believe in the heavy flamer. The sisters not being a feared HtH army, the HF is a one shot weapon at best. Add a storm bolter and save the points, or get another melta in case the first one misses.
