HQ:
2 Canoness with 2 Inferno Pistols: 190

Elites:
5 Celestians with a Heavy Bolter: 85

Troops:
10 Battle Sisters with 2 Flamers and combi flamer: 145
2x10 Battle Sisters with 2 Melta Guns and combi melta: 310

Fast Attack:
3 Arvus Lighter: 225

Heavy Support:
3 Avenger Strike Fighter: 450

Fortifications:
Imperial Bastion with comm relay: 95

Total: 1500

The plan:
So the sisters of battle will start the game inside the Arvus Lighter, with one canoness joining each metla squad. The Celestians will start in the Imperial Bastion, which is a safe place and will provide rerolls for my reserves.

**tremere47**

why are you giving the Canoness 2 Inferno Pistols? Only Seraphim can shoot 2 pistols.

Also, I would switch your Celestians to a Command Squad, since the Canoness can give them Relentless with her Act of Faith.

**Necrosis**

Command Squad is to many points and relentless is usless while in a bastion. Also the Canoness can shot two Inferno pistols due to the gunslinger rule found in the rulebook.

I like the list, but your squad is doomed if their transport is blown up by interceptor.

Umm... go 6+ invu save...

Being serious what you do say is true. I will probably lose a squad if someone shots a transport with interceptor. I just have to hope the rest of my flyers will be able to kill whatever has interceptor. The only other thing I could do is deepstrike out of line of sight (if there is a ruin big enough to do so).

**Largeblastmarker**

If you had a strike fighter go in you could give mobile cover to the arvus'. Looks like it would be a fun list to play if you had the dough.

**Necrosis**

Or I can get my Arvus Lighter to jinx which will have no negative effect on it.

If the Celestians are just siting in the bastion and shooting at stuff you should swap them out a 5 women squad of Retributors with 4 HB. It costs exactly the same as the Celestians but gets you 4 HB and the squad can rend with it's act of faith.

Orginally I did that but then I remembered I already have 3 Heavy Support choices (the 3 Avenger Strike Fighter).

Double FoC!

I'd expect that the success of the Avengers is going to pull your entire list.

You might struggle against MC's, especially Riptides. Honestly the only thing you have that can tackle them are the Avengers and you'd have to dedicate 2 or 3.

Do note that I do have melta guns and inferno pistols, they can really put some hurt on a riptide. If I get two squads to focus fire on a riptide (8 melta shots and plus 2 combi melta shots). It should go down.
