This is a list using the new SoB codex. There's alot of flaws and I'm really not even sure if this is a step up from the old book. However, rather than ponder GW's sanity I would like to look at lists that can best utilize the new changes. Many are crazy about MSU Immo spam. That does seem pretty good. However, what I want to try is to use the new-found potence of the priesthood to make a powerful tide of sisters. Enjoy and critique!

HQ

Jacobus (Most incredible guy in the codex. He will join one unit of sisters to make them a truly scary blob)

Priest
Litanies of Faith

Priest
Condemnor Boltgun (If this doesn't get FAQ'ed, it will be a hell of a weapon to use against certain armies.)

Troops

Battle Sisters X20 (This unit is getting Jacobus, and thus doesn't need the Vet)
Simulacram Imperialis
Flamer
Heavy Flamer

Battle Sisters X20 (will get a priest)
Simulacram Imperialis
Flamer
Heavy Flamer
Veteran SIster Superior

That's it. I really would like to figure out how to work a 4th blob into the list, but the Dominions are really needed to punch tanks in the face. Tactics will be to scout Doms ahead if i go first, otherwise outflanks. The sister blobs will march forward into the fray, with the non-Jacobus ones obviously clinging to cover. Really I feel like the sisters will need to march forward and deal with the enemy, rather than care about heretical things like objectives. I do think that the priests may be a trick to convince people to assault with their girls. Nope. I intend to get into rapid fire range and fire away. Unless I face tau.

The list looks good but I might drop a couple sisters off each blob and add 1 more to each Dominion squad and give them the Simulacrum. With cover so prevalent, ignoring it twice per game could be really nice.

I would also look to add a Laud Hailer to the Immolators. I always seem to fail a LD8 check at the worst moments, but failing it twice in a row is pretty rare.

Maybe drop a dominion and immolator for an exorsist since your sisters are foot sloggin fur dayz

I agree, you need to find a exorcist in there to help take out heavy vehicles from a distant.

Would one exorcist not just be a giant target? I also wonder what I would take out?

Those Doms are pretty good at tank busting themselves.

I'm basing this entirely on theory and not on experience, but it seems to me that exorcists would be better in this list than dominions. 3 AV 13 vehicles have a lot better chances of surviving than 3 AV 11 vehicles.
