I tried to build a strong list at 500 points. Being a returning player, thus a beginner in 8th ed, I would really enjoy to get some feedbacks and advices. Should I get more anti-heavy?

The plan is the following :

1) to set up a gunline with the 15 sisters, the exorcist and the first canoness (my warlord) . The canoness is equiped with a rod of office and the book of St-Lucius, giving her a 12" inch aura. Combined with Indomitable Belief warlord trait, she gives all my sisters a 5++.

2) To send to close combat, I chose two mortifiers and the second canoness with a blessed blade and the litanies of faith (second relic for 1CP)

DETACHMENT : Bataillon
HQ1 : Canoness(1*45), Bâton d'office(5), Bolter, Epée énergétique(4), Livre de Saint Lucius, Croyance Immuable [54]
HQ2 : Canoness(1*45), Lame bénie(9), Litanies de la Foi [54]
Troup1 : 5 Battle Sister Squad(45), Bolter Storm(2), Sister Superior(0) [47]
Troup2 : 5 Battle Sister Squad(45), Bolter Storm(2), Sister Superior(0) [47]
Troup3 : 5 Battle Sister Squad(45), Sister Superior(0) [45]
HS1 : Exorcist(1*90), Bolter lourd(10), Roquettes à conflagration Exorcist(40) [140]
HS2 : Mortifiers(36), 2 Bolter lourd(20), 2 Scie circulaire de Penitent [56]
HS3 : Mortifiers(36), 2 Bolter lourd(20) [56]
Total detachment : 499

ARMY TOTAL [499]

a) mortifiers would like to be together
b) exorcist should get the AT version. As it is what you use vs tanks?
c) you can have 2 special weapons in squads. 2 storm bolters each.

Remember 5++ bubble is only 9"

Thanks you for your advices!

If i take the AT version of the exorcist, I lack the points to get the second mortifiers but you are probably right, I am being greedy here.

Oh and I didn't know for the bubble, I am a bit sad. Rule wise, why can't it be 12" with the rod and the relic? Don't they stack, is it too much to take both?
