hello everyone, this is my initial build for sisters, i'll probably start collecting them next year. Note that all of the points values and rules here are based on reviews from YouTube, as their codex will probably arrive a bit late. I'll add some tactics after the list.

Fortifications detachment
-fort- Battle Sanctum 50

Tactics: so my plan is to castle retributors around Junith, hospitaller and celestine, deployed in the middle of gunline with battle Sanctum (this will give them 2+ save from cover and a 4++ invulnerable save. Seraphim are in deep strike reserve, moving to capture objectives with dominions. Battle sisters deploy in flanks of the retributors (2x squad+ Canoness each) And as a melee unit, celestine acts as a counter assault unit.
Cp allocation: i'll try to max out melta retributors, save some cp for deny psychic powers, and maybe resurrect character.

So, what do you guys think of this? Is it viable for tournaments? I think I have very balanced list here, able to counter hordes, vehicles, psykers, and take objectives.

1. There are manyu thigns out there currently denying cover.
2. How will you get the non-immolater non-deepstriker 3/4s of your army close enough to use flamers, while using them to gaurd backfield objectives?
Perhaps a few small units of sisters with cheaper gear for the backfield would open up some possibilities to avoid that issue?
3. Can you still take a ministerium preacher for 25? They were well worth it in beta codex!

Hey man, thanks for reply. To answer;
1. Many things ignore cover, but not all things..
2. Flamers are mostly for overwatch, this is a gunline afterall, plan is to shoot with bolters and meltas.. I do agree that msu-units would probably be more efficient, but that's not my play-style..
3. Priest is now 30 points, it most likely would make the list more towards melee, but I think that sisters are not great for melee build..
