I am thinking of participating in a local RTT with the girls, but I need a bit of help with the general lay out of the list. I am normally a 2k man, which allows a little more room to play with the expensive options in a Witch Hunter list. Any recommendations or tweaks would be appreciated (If the advice is "Play mechanized;" I only have 2 rhinos/immolators, and really I don't see where I could pull the points to put them in.)

Here is the list I was thinking of:
HQ
Cannoness: BlessedWep/Inf.Pistol/JumpPack/2+SvCloak

Elite
Inquisitor w/ Scourging
2 Heavy bolter servitors

Callidus Assassin

Troops

10 Sisters, Superior w/bolter, 1 flamer, 1 melta

10 Sisters, Superior w/ CCw/BoltPistol, 1 flamer, 1 melta

13 Sisters, Superior w/ Storm Bolter, 2x Storm bolters, 1 Simulacrum Imp.

Fast Attack
7 Seraphim, Superior w/Eviscerator, 2x flamers

8 Seraphim, Superior w/Power Weapon/meltabomb, 2x flamers

Heavy Support
2 Exorcists


Here are some things I can add that I have lying around:
Plasma servitor
2 Sage Henchmen

Sister w/ Heavy Bolter

A few each of flamer and melta girls
Sister superior with chain something and plasma pistol
maybe a few more bolter girls... uncertain of that.
more Repentia than is sensible w/priest
3 Penitent Engines
5 Grey Knight terminators with inferno flamer thing.

I was thinking in a pinch I could run my marines (see my Paterno's Lions WIP thread) with Sisters as allies, but I would lose the Exorcists, which would hurt. I loves them so.

So! Any tips would be appreciated!

Hmmmm...if you aren't running mechanized, you want bigger squads than 10; usually 12 or 14 is good, but if you have the points then mob up, cause you are gonna need it to cross the board. As far as those flamers and storm bolters go...generally if you are footslogging it's a better idea to take 2x meltas. The Imagifer on the 13 Sister squad is useless, you could get away with 6 Seraphim instead of 7 and, to free up some more points, you can drop the meltabombs and power weapon and pick up a pair of Inferno Pistols and an Eviscerator if you want them to tank hunt for you. I'd also say drop the Inferno Pistol off the Canoness and just get a bolt pistol...but it really depends on what you want her for. The Blessed Weapon tells me you want her to tie up squads in CC and the Inferno won't see much use there (as opposed to a tank hunter, where it is gold). With the Inquisitor, you might want to take him from the Daemonhunters list so you can get Emperor's Tarot and get some more use out of him, because as he is, he really won't make too big of an impact. In fact, if all you are taking him for in the Assassin (which I think is the case) you could just give him a Psycannon, drop the servitors and use his Independent Character status to ghost behind your squads and take potshots. (and YES you can take a Daemonhunter Inquisitor and a Witch Hunter Assassin...a little oversight on GW's part, but hey, I'm not complaining). Ummmm, nothing else really comes to mind at the moment...I'm sure I'll think of something or other....oh yea! Don't ever, EVER take Repentia or Penitent Engines if you want this list to be at all competitive. They will make you cry at their astonishing inefficiency and abysmal performance. Arcoflagellants come to mind as well...*shudder*

The trouble with Inferno Pistols on the Seraphim is that I don't have the models for it. I am thinking I will someday either convert some, or convert a Superior with a CCW and a pistol in a holtser, and just assert that it is an inferno pistol when I want it to be.
I have also found that 6 Seraphim just is a little less than optimal, since even with the 3 dice for Faith tests, getting that Divine Guidance when you want it can be rough.

I don't know that I agree with the mere BP on the Cannoness. The IP plays to her strength of shooting, and is very nice at one shoting various characters (Marines without insta-kill protection, etc.) before relying on her questionable melee skills.

I agree about the SI on the shooty squad. I think I will just call it a girl with a bolter, and use those 20 points for two more sisters (if I have some lying around.)

Yea, I know all about Penitents and Repentia. I just didn't when I bought them thinking "Wow, these are fantastic models!" I can actually use them to pretty good effect in 2000 points, but they require a lot of care to get their points back, and depending on your opponant that can be impossible. Penitents in particular can be frightening with a little cover to hide them behind, and draw a lot of fire from the Exorcists, the real killers.
