Exorcist

Created with BattleScribe (http://www.battlescribe.net)

My general game plan is to place Jacobus with the Dominion squad and scout or out flank them close to the baddies. While they are doing this, the Battle Sister squads will advance under cover from the Exorcist.

Good list. I love MSU Sisters armies.

The only thing I might recommend is that you switch the weapons around on the Immolators. Heavy Flamers will help the Battle Sisters take and hold objectives, while an extra Melta will give the Dominions that little bit of extra punch. The same applies to the Superiors; an extra Flamer shot will likely be more helpful than a Melta (you can also probably afford to drop the Melta Bombs).

Also, my personal taste is for cheaper, more basic transports. Unless you really expect a vehicle to be ploughing through terrain, I'd advise against loading up on Dozer Blades (except possibly on your Dominions' transport, since you plan to take it up a flank.)

As to what you can do with the points you save, Simulacra Imperialis are the best upgrade in the codex. Just sayen.

Yep, multi-meltas on the scouting Immo gets you two potential alpha targets instead of one. Putting the laud hailer on a second-wave Rhino instead will be more survivable and can still stay close enough to boost the Doms unless you plan on outflanking them. Shaving some vehicle and superior upgrades might squeeze enough for a small squad of backfield objective campers, allowing your Exo to roam around to maximize LoS or cover as needed. Jacobus could also run with a BSS squad where his banner radius will impact more units than if he's scouted up with the mostly sacrificial Doms. Seconded on the Simulacrum... and yes, MSU sisters is fun times.

Your meta is the most important thing when picking Immo weapons. HFs SUCK against anything 3+
