I am working on a small Imperial Knight army with a Sister of battle theme (I'm using the pilot from the penitent engine and making some penitent Knights) and I would love to have some Sister Allies.
Are there any good units that would help out my Knights ? What would work best ?
Thank you for taking the time to help me out
Chelestine

What are you equipping your knight with?

For a small, TAC Sisters CAD, I'd go Celestine (to help clear close range shooting threats from the knight), 2x 5 battle sisters with Heavy Flamer, Melta Gun, and Rhino (some utility OBSEC), 2x Exorcists and 2x 5 Dominions with 4x melta gun in Repressors. It gives you a little bit of everything.

I backup the claims of PanzerLeader.
HF retributers are also a nice thouch

Solid advice, maybe switch the Rhinos to Immolators if you're keeping the sister squads at 6 or less, the TL MM or HF can be money.

If you can spring the extra points to put all the Sisters in Repressors instead of Rhinos/Immos, you can make a pretty good wall of AV13.

Sister FA choices are solid. Min squad sizes with max special weapons. Celestine is sex on a stick. The only downside to your plan is that Immolators are now OOP, meaning basic Rhinos as transports or converting your own Immos.

The Immos going OOP is pretty, heinously sad, but they can be found on eBay without too much difficulty, Repressors, on the other hand, were always expensive and a bit harder to get.

These work great for Repressors. http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=461

Thank you all so much for your replies, you have been very helpful

Those look awesome!

Agreed with all above, but yea repressor>immo>rhino. Exorcists are pretty awesome, but you should have a lot of that high strength shooting covered by the knights. Special weapons galore to protect the knights and work as support. Also, agreed on the mass HF, help to clear out mobs of stuff.
