Playing around with different combos I like the idea of shooting elements with a Bloody Rose melee push mid board control. Here is a list I've been making. Looking for comments and constructive ideas on how it looks.

Bloody Rose Speahead -3CP
HQ
Canoness Beneficence

Elites
8 Repentia (potentially reserve)
10 Celestians with Maces and superior with spear
No Slot
Preacher

Heavy Support
3 Mortifiers Heavy bolters, flails
3 Mortifiers Heavy bolters, flails
Exorcist

Argent Shroud Patrol
Morvenn Vahl

Troops
20 Battle Sisters, 2 multi melta, 2 storm bolter

Fast Attack
5 Dominions 4 storm bolters
5 Dominions 4 melta

Heavy Support
5 Retributors 4 heavy flamers 1 cherub
5 Retributors 4 multimelta 1 cherub

Rhino

The rhinos carry the dominions and retributors for the pregame move and then pop out and find their targets. The blob of sisters walk up with Vahl while she trys her best to get units in 6'. Canoness moves up with Sacrecents and distract. Repentia come in from a table edge turn two and find something to crunch. Preacher buffs blob invul or gives war hymn to sacrecents. Exorcists hide back field on objective and trys to do something. I know they aren't great but I'm hooked on the model.

Thoughts?

Preachers only have War Hymn; they can't do the invul buff. For that, you'd need a Dialogus or Dogmata as only they have access to that specific hymn.

I would drop the Exorcist in favor of more Repentia and turn the Spearhead into a Vanguard. Maybe drop a Mortifier from one of the units in order to get a Repentia Superior as well, but that's probably not super necessary.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/1/23, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~15000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Adeptus Custodes: ~1900 | Imperial Knights: ~2000 | Sisters of Battle: ~3500 | Leagues of Votann: ~1200 | Tyranids: ~2600 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000

Preachers take a slot on their own.

I too would add more Repentia and Repentia Superior. They're still top tier.

Beneficence generally isn't as good as Blade of Scylla (or whatever it's called) now that it's only 1 damage.

Although in Bloody Rose I would ABSOLUTELY shell out for Rapturous Blows in order to be able to take the mantle of Ophelia.

ALWAYS TAKE 2 CHERUBS. The whole reason Retributors are better than Devastators is that second cherub.
