A grim task that is sometimes left to the Adepta Sororitas is to bring retribution to traitor Space Marine chapters. Rare though they are, each Chapter can muster significant power and, as such, the Battle Sisters almost always target the chapter command first, striking with overwhelming force and relentless determination. Rather than grinding the foe down with the wave attacks of the Guard, the Sisters make one massive strike, betting everything on overwhelming the target before he can escape or call in reinforcements.

Formation:

1 Canoness

3+ Battle Sister squads

3+ Dominion squads

0+ Seraphim squads

Formation special rules:

Destroy the target, no matter the cost: If a model from this formation delivers the killing blow on the enemy Warlord, the Slay the Warlord objective grants 2 VPs instead of one. This does not work if the Warlord dies to a Sweeping Advance.

Relentless force: At any point, you may choose to remove a unit from this formation from play (treating it as destroyed). You may then immediately place an identical version of that unit, at its starting strength, into Ongoing Reserves. These new units always deploy via Outflank.

Rapid strike: If this formation is taken as part of your army, you may re-roll failed rolls to sieze the initiative, and the opponent must re-roll successful ones.

Premeditation: The Canoness and all Superiors add the Preferred Enemy: Space Marines to their melee attacks.

It's pretty okay, but I really don't see any reason to take it over normal sob. The respawn is nice but it doesn't give you any added punch.

I also don't like the disposable idea for sisters.

But saying you take it... You take a canoness, 3 minimum bss and then as many dominions as you can fit.

Scout, alpha, die. Come in from edge and repeat. Meh

If rather have a tactic that doesn't have them dying to get the benefit.

Since free units are all the rage, why not have an identical unit come in from outflank on some other condition?
