I quite like the idea of fielding an all-female army, so I wanted to create a list that contains only classic Battle Sister units (none of these weird and at times gruesome looking models). This probably means the list will lose a lot of potential competitiveness, but that's ok.

Again, only classic Battle Sister units will be an option in this list. I would imagine that Retributor squads are way better with all Melta, and I should probably go with all meltas for the second squad too, but I don't want to have to order 4 boxes just to get hold of 8 meltas. I'm not sure how good Seraphims are? They are pretty cool models.

Anyway, how does this fair competitively, and can it be improved despite my stringent restrictions? (that is, no flagellants, mortifiers, repentia etc..)

I really like this list, I've built my (For the moment) small Sisters for in the same way, not a big fan of the aesthetic of the repentia/arcos/penitents, ect.

The Problem with the Retributor Squads is that since you've taken them as a 5 man, they'll just get shot off the table before they actually do anything.

I'd say to cut the heavy Bolter Retributors and increase the Multi-Melta squad to 10 to help protect your big guns. If you wanted to go all in on the melta then you could add combi-Meltas to the regular sisters squads.

That would leave you at 965 so maybe cut one combi-melta for a Palatine. I know it's not an old school model, but it still fits the aesthetic you're going for.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Interesting point about the Retributors, I'm used to having tougher Space Marines that could survive in a 5 man squad. Using the same logic, should the Battle Sisters always be 10 woman squads? Or is it less of a concern given they are a good bit cheaper?

I would add a palatine to the list, by 'Classic' units I just mean any Battle SIster in Power armour, although I don't like the Palatine model from GW, so may need a conversion job....

Annoying thing about the retributors is that I'll still need to grab 2 boxes to get hold of 4 multi meltas...
