Repentia squads have been the most common, as Breacher spam is with Admech, but some lists are popping up with other builds, such as the following which went 3-1 in a Florida event and only featured one squad of Repentia. It seems Mortifiers are slightly more common than Repentia currently and Retributors are making more appearances.
Anyway, still early in the edition and fewer events are happening than is normal, so it may take some time for things to really diversify.
To be fair, it could also just be an oversight... It's not uncommon that things go to print with serious errors. Heck, for a little bit there Kastelans were 65 points when kitted out with full phosphor according to Engine War.
That would be rather surprising as Sisters is the newest full codex outside of the 9th edition ones. It's not out of the question though, but I'd expect something more like Admech in Engine War for them than a full Codex.

If we're thinking of the same list, which we very well may be, the player actually used the Mortifiers as a shooting unit. They set them up next to the Exorcist and would use them to shoot while acting as a screen and counter charge unit for anything threatening the Exorcists.
I think the Mortifiers are one of the cooler units, not just in how they look but their ability to act as either shooting or melee rather well.
I'm still leaning towards a supplement such as Engine War and how it effected Admech as opposed to a full codex. I know the Space Marines had a 2nd Edition codex in 8th that was almost as new as Sisters, but I don't think it's comparable to how the Sisters have the newest of the 8th Edition codices, as the first edition of the 8th Edition Space Marine Codex was from 2017.
I could be wrong about a new codex, but the Sisters feel incredibly well balanced as is, so it would be odd to have a major change as opposed to some new units that fill existing holes in the army. After all, Engine War brought Admech a wide array of fast attack choices and a transport whereas they previously were lacking in those departments but otherwise had a solid army.
Hey guys, a little while ago I started a youtube channel which featured a series focused on starting an Admech army and it turned out to be rather popular. As such I decided to expand it to other armies I find interesting and on the top of my list was Sister of Battle because of their models and rule set. Additionally, I noticed there wasn't a lot of content on youtube for Sisters that was recent with most of it being almost a year old at this time.
This is the first video in the series and it covers the first purchases when diving into the army, hope you like it and let me know what you think as feed back is always welcome.
In a recent streamed game by Art of War that you can find on Youtube, Nick Nanavati played a list that included 3 Immolators with Heavy Bolters.
I'm not sure if I'm sold on it, but I can see the logic behind it as well. At 125 points you get access to three heavy bolters per tank essentially and can throw a five man unit of Sisters in it for extra protection while they make their way onto an objective.
When you consider a minimum squad of Retributors with 3 heavy bolters is 90 points it's really not that bad as for an extra 35 points you are picking up a Rhino body in place of the five sister bodies you'd get in Retributor squad.
It's definitely not a bad option if you just want to have more Heavy Bolters and some way to move around small units of Sisters.
Posted a new video today, and I was hoping to get some feedback on both the overall video as well as the information provided from you guys. It's part of a series that hopes to introduce players to Sisters and walk them through their first purchase to first 2,000 point army list. This video looks at Orders and how they play.

'Terrible Knowledge' isn't quite as good as you say, though it's still a good trait to give your WL and the 22 inch threat range(unsupported)on heavy flamer rets in 9th is actually quite good. I think a large number of us would rank AS over SR because of the usefullness of the Convictions and a point that you alluded too, Sisters have enough good universal WL traits, relics and even strategems that we don't need specific orders stuff.
Pretty good stuff all around though. Lots of info and interesting thoughts there.

Thanks, and I do agree Terrible Knowledge for me was an ability that is purely for Heroine in the Making if you don't happen to want to take any other traits beyond Beacon, as it's a free roll thanks to the CP refund. Fair point on the AS and SR rankings, I think what it really came down to for me was that one had more abilities that could do something than the other, so they had a bigger chance of finding a niche. Though the AS conviction is generally good and applies to everyone in the Order, so it may definitely give them an edge over SR.
I think we all agree for the most part, though I will mention when I was ranking the orders it was based on the overall package, not just the conviction.
One thing I didn't include was a "mixed Order", in which you give up the Convictions and just optimize the Stratagems. Though looking at it, it doesn't seem very possible as the Convictions are rather strong and the Stratagems aren't as powerful as they are in say Admech.
