To really maximize the benefits of going with OOML, you want some extra bodies in the Retributor squads. You could probably cut the Hospitaller to save a few points for this, or maybe a small number of the Repentia. Otherwise it's trivial for the opponent to simply destroy the entire squad so you don't get the benefit from having a few models dead. Also, I think I would make the OOML detachment a Spearhead and put the BSS in the Bloody Rose detachment (making it a Battalion. BSS don't get much from Martyred Lady, especially minimum squads like that. Granted, they aren't amazing in BR either, but I think they're better.

I would argue that the bonus you get from being OOML isn't valuable enough to be worth building for and that adding otherwise superfluous models to the Retributor squads for the sake of getting those bonuses is chasing good money after bad. It's better to keep your rets off the table or out of LoS than it is to spend 100pts on extra bodies and hope whatever survives gets the +1. I agree about dropping the hospitaller though.

Hand flamers are gak. Even on Seraphim with the discount and the strat they're CRAP. I understand the appeal of thinking you might get holy trinity off with it but...no. Don't waste your points (CP or regular) chasing that dragon. Statistically it will do less extra damage on average then just a good CP reroll.

With Beacon, the Triumph, and a Sanctum, you're going to end every game with a literal bucket of excess miracle dice. There is absolutely no reason to run all 3, especially not in an OOML primary list.

Any list with a bloody rose detachment that doesn't have a canoness is immediately suspect. A beneficence Canoness with Righteous rage, inferno pistol, brazier is an unbelievable blender for 65pts. Drop the HKs, the Hospitaller, and the hand flamers and bump the missionary down to a preacher to afford her.
