Hello, starting a new project with sisters, this is not supposed to be super competitive, but more into casual games. Any thoughs are welcome.

Our martyred lady battalion
-hq- morvenn vahl 265 (warlord: righteous rage)
-hq- celestine 200
-troop- battle sisters (10, power sword, meltagun, heavy flamer, simulacrum) 140
-troop- battle sisters (10, power sword, meltagun, heavy flamer, simulacrum) 140
-troop- battle sisters (10, power sword, meltagun, heavy flamer, simulacrum) 140
-elite- hospitaller 50 (relic: litanies of faith)
-elite- dogmata 65 (prayer: enduring faith, trait: indomitable belief)
-fast- dominions (5, combimelta, 2x flamer, 2x storm bolter) 90
-fast- dominions (5, combimelta, 2x flamer, 2x storm bolter) 90
-heavy- exorcist (conflagration rockets) 150
-heavy- exorcist (conflagration rockets) 150
-heavy- retributors (10, combiflamer, 4x multimelta, 2x armorium cherub, simulacrum) 220
-transport- immolator (twin multimelta) 150
-transport- immolator (twin multimelta) 150

Total 2000 / 12cp (-1 for extra trait)

Tactics; the exorcists hold backfield objectives and provide firesupport, the dominions move out for flanking objectives with immolators. The rest of the army just stays near each other, mainly for buffs, and tries to secure midfield.

Sacred rite (divine guidance), or (aegis of the emperor) if the enemy has lots of psychic powers

Secondaries;
- Leap of faith
- Engage on all fronts
- Investigate signal

I'm little concerned about melee threaths, but I think morvenn and celestine can act as a counter unit.

There's some structural things I'm not a huge fan of but this is your list so I'll stick to trying to help optimize it as is.

Powerswords are really, really terrible on battle sisters sergeants. Even Bloody Rose doesn't take them.

Also dominions are MUCH better maxing out blessed bolts than they are trying for Holy Trinity (especially considering you have a lot of holy trinity going around as it is.) You can keep the combi-melta if you want but the rest should be stormbolters 100%.

Even old Litanies wouldn't have been as good as Book of St. Lucius on that Hospitaller.

Finally, swap the meltagun and heavy flamer in your BSS squads for flamer multimelta. The OOML +1 to shoot makes multimeltas very deadly once something dies compared to having no effect at all on a heavy flamer.

Hey, thanks for the reply, that's a good point about load-out. The power swords are included just because I had some extra points leftover, so pointswise, it's possible to change BSS into flamer/multimelta. However, I was planning the load-out based on what is in boxes (planning to buy 4x BSS and 2x Retributors). I was assuming that BSS box has one of each special weapon, and retributors have 2 of each heavy weapon.

Had to check it again, seems like BSS box has 4x each special weapon, that may change things a bit. If someone could confirm that, I'd appreciated it.

The BSS box comes with 4 of each special, 1 of each heavy, and the enough extras to build the box as Battle Sisters, Dominions, and/or Celestians.

Also check ebay if you're cool with metal models. Old metal Multimeltas will pop up sometimes for far cheaper than buying full new Retributor kits for them. As for the powerswords, take simulacrum instead. Same points, better output, 1 per squad=1 per box.

Small correction, the BSS box has a heavy bolter and heavy flamer, but does NOT have a multimelta.

Okay, here's my updated list

Order of our martyred lady battalion

-hq- celestine 200
-troop- battle sisters (10, flamer, multimelta, simulacrum) 140
-troop- battle sisters (10, flamer, multimelta, simulacrum) 140
-troop- battle sisters (10, flamer, multimelta, simulacrum) 140
-elite- hospitaller 50 (relic: book of St Lucius)
-elite- dogmata 65 (prayer: enduring faith, trait: indomitable belief, relic: litanies of faith)
-fast- dominions (5, combiflamer, 4x meltagun) 110
-fast- dominions (5, combiflamer, 4x meltagun) 110
-heavy- exorcist (conflagration rockets) 150
-heavy- exorcist (conflagration rockets) 150

-transport- immolator (immolation flamers) 130

Total 2000 pts / 12cp (-1 for extra relic, -1 for extra trait)

I kind of like it now, thank you for the advice. The bss squads with multimelta and simulacrum now have some synergy. I kept the litanies of faith, if I'd want to reroll miracle dice.

Just wanted to let you know that you won't have 7 multi melta's with the boxes you plan to buy (4x BSS and 2x Rets). There are no multi melta's in the BSS box, for whatever reason ($$$ most likely). Otherwise, have fun with the Sisters!
