This is for a 600 point league locally, with minimum 1 HQ and 2 troops, so no leafblower list or similar

Sisters (598pts)

HQ (120pts)

* Canoness (120pts)
Condemnor Boltgun, Melta Bombs, Power Sword, Rosarius


Troops (323pts)

* Battle Sister Squad (170pts)
9x Battle Sister, Heavy Bolter, Meltagun, Simulacrum Imperialis
* Sister Superior
Bolt Pistol, Combi-melta


* Battle Sister Squad (153pts)
9x Battle Sister, Meltagun, Storm Bolter
* Sister Superior
Boltgun, Melta Bombs, Power Sword


Heavy Support (155pts)

* Exorcist (155pts)
Hunter-killer Missile, Storm Bolter

How does dakka think I will fair?

Ok man, for starters, take the hunter killer off the excorcist it's a waste, a excorcist with a storm bolter is only 130pts, secondly take the simulacrum out of the sister squads as there ability isn't great anyway and they have ld8 so fail once and that's 10 pts down the drain. Also take the power weapons off your superiors and cannoness as the last place you want your sister is cc with a str of 3. Try dropping the sister squads down to 5 or 6 models, putting them in an immolator with a twin linked multi melta and your laughing, also because you have the melta on the immolator put a flamer and heavy flamer in each sister squad, if ou have enough points then a combi flamer or a Condemnor Boltgun

I haven't got the money unfortunately to to get two immolators, and with the size of the tables I will be playing on, unless I come across tau I should be fine

Hows this?

HQ (105pts)

Chainsword, Condemnor Boltgun, Rosarius

* Battle Sister Squad (198pts)
9x Battle Sister, Meltagun, Storm Bolter

Chainsword, Condemnor Boltgun


Heavy Support (145pts)

* Exorcist (145pts)
Storm Bolter

Just out of interest man which codex are you using? Because In the new digital edition excorcist have dropped in points to 125 basic and 5pts for a storm bolter, so you've actually got more points to play with.

Ah okay in that case can I make a suggestion? Take the special character Uriah jacobus instead of your cannoness, any priest model will do, and stick him in a 20 man sister squad, gives them fearless, and has other kick ass bubble effects like a extra act of faith for free with no test etc.

With the points saved from cannoness and dropping rhino and your 15 points from excorcist you should have enough for a 2nd sister squad for your troops? Sound good?

Hit me back with what you think.

I was using battlescribe, I guess the data repository I'm using must be the white dwarf codex

Thanks for your advice, I'll think about using Uriah, although I prefer the idea of a Cannoness leading her force of fanatic sisters to burn heretics and xenos alike

Do you have any other models?

I'm planning on buying this list once I decide on whats going in it

I would get Celestine instead of the Canoness, if you're not down with Uriah. Also, as mentioned, your points are off. Here's a more appropriate list with correct points:

Sisters (598pts)

HQ (135pts)

Celestine

Troops (340pts)

* Battle Sister Squad (200pts)
9x Battle Sister, Heavy Flamer, Meltagun, Simulacrum Imperialis
* Sister Superior
Bolt Pistol, Combi-melta
Rhino

* Battle Sister Squad (140pts)
9x Battle Sister, Meltagun, Heavy Flamer
* Sister Superior
Boltgun,

Heavy Support (125pts)
* Exorcist (125pts)


Make sure to buy the Immolator kit instead of the rhino one, you get more bits.

I thank you for your advice, but I think using a special character in such a low points value doesn't seem fair, so would it be possible to use the same list but replace Celestine with a Cannoness like the one in my list? I just prefer using generic characters at low points value, thanks for your advice though. (and I'm sorry I should have made that clear at the beginning)

Sure, you can do whatever you want. If you plan to expand past 600 points though, you'll want Celestine more than you'll want the canoness.

Yeah, but I'll look at that price tag when I get there
First thing first I need to acquire the money to get this stuff so far, not the cheapest army to choose by the looks of things

Grab some extra wargear for 20 points.

That seems like a good list, now I need to find an up to date data repository or get the codex and I'll be golden (and know what to it the extra 20 points towards)
