So what do you guys think of this for a one off event? I'd like to grow the Sisters part of it but am unsure how to best do it.

Coteaz
Level 2 Libby, Hunters Eye
3x 5 scouts in storms with multi-melta, combi-grav
5 Tacs in a Pod, melta gun

FA Pod
Raptor Wing
Landspeeder Typhoon
2x Storm Talon with Skyhammers
Comes out to 1850 on the nose and has 6 ignore cover units and 6 scouting units base + plus a pod. With Coteaz for seize protection, it has the makings of a nasty alpha strike.
Okay, so the question is, for this event, what are the rulings on the following:
- Bikes as troops if you take a SM character on a bike
- Pods as regenning troops. Can they deep strike?
Because depending on those answers, my feedback is different.
Are you married to the Raptor Wing?

Hello! I'm new here, I suppose. If you're over on the B&C I'm under the same username (I'm pretty active and . . . very puritanical). I didn't sign up here before because, well, there's no dedicated Sisters subforum. Depending on how this goes, I might post here (probably mostly in this thread) regularly.
I've only been playing 40K for about 3 and a half years, starting with Blood Angels (hence the username). I picked up Sisters about a year and a half ago, and I've been infatuated ever since. I have what I consider a pretty solid grasp on the Ministorum's fluff, especially where it pertains to the Sororitas, though my headcanon has its quirks. Overall, it's centered on the 2E Sisters codex, Codex: Witch Hunters, and the Liber Sororitas from White Dwarf 294.
I have a custom Order Minoris, the Order of the Glorious Reprisal, but recently I fancy myself an Order of the Valorous Heart player. Big Saint Lucia fan. Don't get me started on the Repentia models (suffice it to say I have no problem with the Repentia's fluff, just their models).
I have a rather substantial write up about the Order of the Glorious Reprisal, but for now, here's a list. It's supposed to be a fluffy detachment from an Order of the Valorous Heart Commandery. Not the kind of Commandery that is based out of a subsidiary Convent, it's just a group of Sisters numbering more than a Mission (which I headcanonically cap at about 50ish Sisters Militant) and less than a Preceptory (so less than 200).
MINISTORUM DELEGATION Ministorum Priest (Laspistol, Chainsword) 25 Small BSS
Heavy Support Exorcist (Dozer Blade) 130
Retributor Squad [5] (Heavy Flamer x4, Veteran Superior, Immolator(TL Multi-Melta) ) 175
Obviously this isn't super optimized. Heres some reasons why:
I can't fluffly justify more than 1 Exorcist at 1500 points (though I own 3 of course)
I bought one of the old VH banners GW used to make off eBay, so I'm going to use that, and I don't want to put the unit in a transport since the banner doesn't do anything while in a vehicle, so that's how I settled on HB for that unit.
The Power Maul is mostly there because I want to use the model in that unit.
The Exorcist has a Dozer Blade so it can be WYSIWYG I always run Seraphim, in fact, I'm kinda upset I don't have all 10 including the PS/PP Superior in this list.
I'm using one of the Plasma Pistol/Chainsword Superiors for Luxia, hence the strange loadout.
I don't run allies (well, I have a hereticus Inquisitor I might use, but not as a psyker)
I prefer to stick to the units that are actually Sororitas (priests get a bye for being so good)
I played a casual tournament a few weeks back. It was 1850 and I only had 32 infantry models in my list. It was not fun to play. I've realized I don't like too much MSU. Blob squads are lots of fun!
Anyway, comments are welcome. I have a bunch of homebrew rules I can share, but I suppose all that has to go in a different forum here on dakkadakka.
Let it be known to all present and future Sisters of our Orders that they must fast at the High Vigils of Saint Thor, Saint Aspira, Saint Jason, Saint Orlanda, Saint Dolan and Saint Constantine of Alamar. Upon the Holy Days of Saint Gherick the Confessor, Saint Decessio and Saint Lucius of Agatha, let them meditate. Let them fast for not less than five days preceding the Most Holy Days of Our Founding Sisters, Saints Dominica, Katherine, Silvana, Mina, Lucia and Arabella. Let them observe silence for the vigils of Saint Capilene, Saint Josmane and Saint Lacena. Upon the Low Days of Saints Yamalla and Corvus the Sabines, Saint Tomasi, Saint Dufaux and most especially Saint Josina, they should both fast and maintain silence, and upon the Days of Saint Praxedes, Saint Kozak and Saint Verevya they should meditate upon martyrdom. Upon the Feast of Saint Jasone, they must fast, but may consider themselves at liberty between matins and vespers.

Welcome! Servant of Dante!
Sisters are my 3rd army after Necrons and Orks. I'm building them as SMU because it is different that the playstyle of my other armies. I'm working on Blood Angels for my son and love how the new Lost Brotherhood detachment gives Sisters the needed early threat, though I'd imagine problems after the battle!

The idea is that the sisters take the midfield and the guard bubble wrap the artillery units with the chance to come back if they get wiped out.

Arguing over the facts is the lowest form of debate.
Since the sisters artefacts are found in both the Adepta Sororitas and Imperial Agents codex, could you effectively take two litanies of faith? One from each book?
You can normally only take one of each relic from a book, but what if they are from two books?

Maybe? But I'd think you'd need a detachment from C:AS and a separate detachment from C:IA. But both relic lists have the same name. It seems really gamey in any case, so I wouldn't do it and I'd probably look at you funny if I was playing against you.

I am also going for a list like this, but I am making room for a grey knight interceptor squad from the Daemonhunter detachment.
They lose Ob Sec, however they can run with Celestine.
They effectively:
1. Provide 1 more warp charge
2. Boost Celestine to str 7 and the geminaes to str 5 with hammerhand
3. Give 3 thunderhammer attacks at str 10 on the charg (on the justicar).
4. Can cast banishment and also force to deal with tough daemon units
5. Can use a 36" move to go contest or grab a far off objective.
6. Give another template, str 6 for the incinerator
7. Saintly blessings can also grant Celestine and the unit crusader and fleet for the turn where you need that critical charge.
and all of this is for 145 points.

Guard are the one army I wouldn't have an issue allying with my Sisters. It's just so fluffy, and they generally do different things so I think they don't step on each others toes too much. I think that list looks pretty good, but I'm not overly familiar with IG. But you will get your BSSs back on a 5+, so that's cool.
But isn't Ctoeaze a psyker? Burn in shame! (I don't want to use the filthy xeno emoticons)

In that case! Either take more pods or more bikes. Celestine with a Command Squad on bikes is hilarious. If you take a bike for your Libby, he will have to scoot up to catch up with the Grav Cents, but it still works and your bikes regen. If you can take more Tac Pods, do so, regenning drop pods is hilarious. Basically, I would drop the Raptor wing and use those points to get a Command Squad, a Separate formation Hereticus with 3 Skulls and as many bikes/drop pod tacs as you can fit in. You lose a little punch, but you gain a lot of obsec scoring the regen and your bikes can take specials and regen.

You don't need a Ministorum Delegation. You can just take C:AS Priests without taking a slot in your cad. How married are you to the list? Right now, it is very battle forcey. If you're cool with just a fluffy list, it is fine. If you're looking to make it more competitive, let us know and we can help you out.

Maybe I should be playing parking lot guard, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the dozer blade on the exorcist. I almost always include the dozer blade on rhinos, etc, but isn't the exorcist largely immobile? Can't see why to spend the 5 points there unless it is just a point dump.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of the new Celestine. Too much of a Warp Tainted Heretic for my tastes I will run her at some point, but this is not that list.
The Command Squad and the Canoness are kinda the point of the list. I'm keeping them.
I'm really not a fan of mixing weapon types in BSSs, and when is the large BSS ever going to get a chance to fire flame weapons? I've run a BSS of 20 models with 2 flamers, and they almost never fire at all, since they have to be at the front to do so and you can't keep them at the front if you want them to stay alive until they're in range . . .
I . . . don't actually own any Repressors, and I don't think I'm up to converting any Also, I really will miss my Seraphim if I'm not running them
Hum. Well, I suppose this doesn't look like my kind of list. I don't know how much I'd enjoy running it. Thanks for the response in any case!

So take the old celestine. She's kind of better than every way than the Canoness. and the retributors are better than the command squad as well.
The BSS have the flamers for overwatch.

3x 5 scouts in storms with multi-melta, combi-grav
5 Tacs in a Pod, melta gun
3x 5 dominions, 4 meltas, condemnor boltgun, Rhino
2x Wyverns
3 grav cents, omniscope
FA Pod
Raptor Wing
Landspeeder Typhoon
2x Storm Talon with Skyhammers
Comes out to 1850 on the nose and has 6 ignore cover units and 6 scouting units base + plus a pod. With Coteaz for seize protection, it has the makings of a nasty alpha strike.
I like it... but how does this interact with death stars... whats the plan vs bark bark?
If it is invul barkstar, you drop Wyvern blasts and a condemnor into it and hope for the best.

Heresy! Saint-Celestine is a shining beacon of light against the evils of the warp. She is the power of the emperor made manifest!
I respectfully disagree. In my mind the warp is inherently tainted (heresy-wise) so anything that is in any way connected to the warp (which with the new fluff Celestine definitely is) is at the very best sketchy (like Navigators and Astropaths). The one thing I give a pass to are visions from the Emperor. Those most likely pass through the warp, but eh.
So, in short, I would call you the heretic, for letting yourself be blinded by the trickery of the immaterium
But preferences vary. You certainly have the opinion more supported by fluff.
Let it be known to all present and future Sisters of our Orders that they must fast at the High Vigils of Saint Thor, Saint Aspira, Saint Jason, Saint Orlanda, Saint Dolan and Saint Constantine of Alamar. Upon the Holy Days of Saint Gherick the Confessor, Saint Decessio and Saint Lucius of Agatha, let them meditate. Let them fast for not less than five days preceding the Most Holy Days of Our Founding Sisters, Saints Dominica, Katherine, Silvana, Mina, Lucia and Arabella. Let them observe silence for the vigils of Saint Capilene, Saint Josmane and Saint Lacena. Upon the Low Days of Saints Yamalla and Corvus the Sabines, Saint Tomasi, Saint Dufaux and most especially Saint Josina, they should both fast and maintain silence, and upon the Days of Saint Praxedes, Saint Kozak and Saint Verevya they should meditate upon martyrdom. Upon the Feast of Saint Jasone, they must fast, but may consider themselves at liberty between matins and vespers.

I almost always include the dozer blade on rhinos, etc, but isn't the exorcist largely immobile? Can't see why to spend the 5 points there unless it is just a point dump.
I think in all the time I have played my Exorcists have moved a handful of times...and that was only when their weapons were destroyed.

Interesting. My exorcists move all the time so I can try to sneak them up the flanks and take advantage of that 48" range to look for side shots.

I like to tank shock with em if things get close. Tank shock 6 inches and blast em.

Never thought of that tactic...I see my two Exorcists as the biggest target to draw fire from my opponent. My foe will spend ordinance like water to take them down...meanwhile my Rhino bourn Sisters get another turn closer and the Dominion Squads start coming in on the flanks.
My meta has evolved to 2+ cover Taus and MSU battle companies spamming grav-cannons.
I've had a few games of 4 Exorcists only rolling 1 and 2s for missiles, the entire game, and my oponents have wisened up. They just ignore them now.
1d6 is so unreliable it's scaring me away. Cast prescience to make sure the missiles hit only to roll a "1" for shots and it'll give anyone accross the table from you a good chuckle.
