My local store is finally getting to run tournaments. So, before Chapter Approved comes out here is a 750pt list for SoB.

Trying to get a versatile army, since matches will be unknown. 3 troops to hold objectives and lay down fire support against hordes. Greyfax and Canoness team up to run around the board where needed. Rets / Imagifer / Canoness (2) for heavy fire support across most the board. We are playing on 4'x4'

Doms and Seraphims for anti armor. Know of one IG player with 2 Leman Russ and a Hellhound.

That is about it. Thoughts and prayers welcome.

Drop the plasma pistol on the Canoness, replace with Inferno pistol. Better in every way.

Drop Greyfax and her whole detachment. Use your Strat to cancel a Psychic Power on a 4+. Focus on the important ones.

Use leftover points to bring a Repressor for the 2 BSS. Extra mobility, Extra Flamers, T3 not exposed.

** RANT TIME**
Sisters so two very separate things very well.

They can rush forward super fast in tanks and burn the chaff with flamers and roast the heavies with meltas. One of the absolute best armies for an alpha strike.

They can also spam special weapons like no other and use the out of turn shooting to the max potential. 3 squads of Rets with HB, each with an imagifier for Faith, and a Canoness to buff them all is a nasty little castle.

The main problem with either of these approaches is that Sisters have a glaring weakness (actually lots but let just focus on one) T3 3+. If your cheap like guard and cost 4 points T3 doesn’t matter. Yes you will die in droves but who cares your 10 man squad cost 40 points. Tactical Space Marines have no place in any competitive list because for 13 points T4 and a 3+ doesn’t have any staying power. A basic sister is 9 points which is about right in my opinion, however it doesn’t make it good. Everything and I mean just about EVERYTHING will wound you in 2’s. A 3+ isn’t going to save you when your squads have only 5 girls. However there is a solution! Tanks! Praise to the Emperor we have 2 of the very best in the game. Immolator with the super nasty 2D6 auto hits that can advance and still fire. Or my personal favorite the Repressor. 12W box that holds 10 girls, allows 6 to fire out (like open topped but without the drawbacks), and brings its own heavy flamers, also does 9! Attacks in combat against infantry hitting on 5’s. Combine this with Dominions for Doomrider level of Cocaine Speed, while still burning heretics. If this does not make you wet, please find a Commissar immediately.

I can see your points about the tanks and taking out Greyfax. I do love me the Inquisition, and she is the only mortal wound ability I have. I know we have a Nid player that can drop psychic like crazy. Probably just better to burn the Nids.

Taking out Greyfax opens the slot for another Immolator with flamer. The Repressor is nice, but they are not allowing FW models... LAME, I know.
That leaves an extra 6 points. Will turn that last BSS into a Stormbolter Squad. They can ride with the HtH Canonnes to where she needs to be.
And, leaving the plasma pistol. I always super charge it, since there is only a 1/36 chance of rolling double 1s.

Here is the list modified then:

Playing and IG army at this level, with tanks, I will have to take out the troops first then send in the Seraphims and Doms, keeping them hidden until later.

Thanks for the feedback.

No problem and good luck. Tell me how it goes. Always love hearing about another Sisters player doing well.

I've been bringing Greyfax because I love the Inquisition and that fabulous model, but Bound2Earth is right, she's not points well spent. Early game objectives are the responsibility of your fast movers and mounted units; save those SB BSS units to screen your backfield and protect your Retributer castle from deep strikers. For a non-Celestine force, I bet this is a pretty advantageous point level for the Sisters. Looks fun!
