Hi all. I'm just trying to figure out if my first attempt at a Adepta Sororitas list is viable. Any suggestions are helpful at this point as I have a few key pieces I want as models purchased but I'd like to know if a chonky gun line assisted with a fast hitting detachment would be a good way to use the Sororitas.

I would try to squeeze in 2 retributor squads with multi-meltas

Troops are useful for holding objectives, but not much else so the 20 girl squad is suspect.

Also do you have more Zephyrim?

Thanks for the feedback. I may just insert another retributor squad. My intention with the group of 20 was to have a moving bolter line with the ardent shroud. Maybe have two squads of 10? O just figured, with a group of 20 supporting the Triumph of Saint Katherine, as it's a slow moving HQ. They can keep it safe and benefit from buffs until it's close enough to support the other fliers.

I could probably get another zephyrim squad too. Maybe reduce the size of the sisters or remove the second celestial sacresant squad perhaps.

I'd ditch the plasma pistol and PS on the serephim and get 4 flamers in the squad. They can be a nice drop for 4 flamers using deadly decent and then complete an action.

FYI, if you start an action and then shoot weapons... the action will fail. (3rd paragraph, pg75 chapter approved)

Thanks but FYI if you use deadly decent you shoot in the movement phase and then perform the action after so you drop, spend strat CP, shoot, perform action.

Brilliant!

Woah! That's something I can do with Seraphym/Zeraphym? That's insane. It would make a lot of sense to take Seraphym with a ton of hand flamers supported by Zeraphym on the charge. Thank you for the advice. This is extremely helpful.
