Ok, having settled on a decent IG build, I've turned to my small collection of Sisters. I played a 2000 pt 2v2 this weekend, and brought 1000 pts of Sisters. It's clear that I'm new to the army, I brought Retributer squads in flame Immolators, which is a mistake of course, because the tank can't get to it's target, and the Retributers can't get out and shoot on the same turn with heavy weapons. Big fail, live and learn.

This is what I'm thinking at 1500 pts -

Canoness, Blessed Weapon (sword), Jump Pack, Cloak, Inferno Pistol, Melta Bomb

Sister Squad, Rhino, 2x melta gun
Sister Squad, Rhino, 2x melta gun

Dominion Squad (6), Immolator (HB, blessed ammo), 4x melta
Dominion Squad (5), Immolator (HB, blessed ammo), 4x melta, Canoness joins

So, I'd drive up the 2 Immolators and try to get them as deep as possible for maximum threat. It's likely that they will wreck shortly after. The Exorcists take up firing lanes at max range, and the 2 rhinos will stick around to deal with deep strike and alpha strikes.

When the Immolators wreck, hopefully they can pick up some vehicle targets, or take on light infantry in assault. The Canoness will break away and take on priority targets, she seems equipped to handle AV14 with the melta bomb and inferno pistol, and could even solo small infantry targets, light MCs, Crisis Suits, or even small MEQ squads. She will probably die, so hopefully she gains a point back, or helps turn the game in a big way.
