Well I am going to try this out tomorrow and I will let you know how it does. I will likely be playing against Tau so probably get my arse kicked but I am curious to see how the new dex works

HQ
Cannoness + Rosarious, Mantle of Ophelia, Boltgun Condemner, Eviscerator

Uriah

Priest - Eviscerator + Littany of Faith

Preist - Eviscerator

Elite

Repentia Squad - 10 woman Squad

Troops

Sister Squad - 5 woman - 2 Flamers, Combi-flamer, Immolator with Multi-Melta x 2

Sister Squad - 5 Woman Squad - 2 flamers, combi-flamer, Immolatro with TL Heavy Flamer

Sister Squad - 5 Woman Squad - 2 Flamers, Rhino

Fast Attack

Seraphim - 10 woman Squad with 2 gals with hand flamers (2 each)

Dominion Squad - 6 woman - 1 with Simulacrum, 4 Meltas, Sarg Combi Melta, Immolator TL MultiMelta x 2

Heavy

Exorcist x 3

That is my single FOC 2000 pt army... We will see how it does. Many argue that jacubus is not worth it, but to me 2 turns of FNP 3+ I think he is worth the tax, I like the littany for not having to roll faith and hymms, and the extra priest is for accepting challenges I do not want my Cannoness to. I think the 4 troop squads are solid, yeah I will probably give up first blood unless I get first turn, but they need their rhinos so what are you going to do. I tried to fit a squad of Retribution squad, but those exorcists are just too nice. I want to see how the seraphim perform. If I can land them close to a squad I should be able to lay wast to them. My HQs are my biggest cost sink right now and I am curious to see how they perform

Good luck, I think Sisters can do well now if played properly.

As far as your list, several things are apparent. First, you should maximize your troops to six squads. 4x5 troops is not gonna be enough in 2000 points. Also, the Immolators should all be equipped with Multimeltas, you have plenty of flamers in your squads. Also as you noted, too many points are taken up in your HQ. I'd take Uriah or the Canoness but not both. Seraphim would not be my first choice for this FOC slot, but if they can get into Tau lines quickly they may be a good choice for tomorrow.

Tactically, get into 24" range quickly, get your Repentia and Seraphim into cc as fast as possible to keep them from shooting. If they have pathfinders take those out quickly as well. Good luck!

Thank you for the advice sir and thanks for the tips... I am mainly playing so many HQ to see how they perform, but in more competitive rolls I do not see myself taking that many

Why the condemnder boltgun for the canoness? Tau have no psykers you can shoot, unless you expect eldar allies. Just take a combi weapon or no gun.

Going all out with the repentia may work if your saves are decent. They also might die, but if they touch a tau unit in CC they win.

Seraphim are great, but I think 10 might be too many, and you may want a superior.

Excorists are fantastic, but a stormbolter is a worthy add on. They are 1 weapon destroyed result away from being worthless(granted more likely to just wreck/explode) but for the points its great insurance. Also, it is a storm bolter and for half the cost the imperium normally pays to put them on armor.

Thanks for the words. I honestly think I do not need the repentia, but could do the same with Uriah and priests with a troop squad, they will not his with as many attacks but they will hit hard, just as hard as repentia and with higher initiative. I agree and thought about a weapon add on to the exorcists, I also don't think the Simulacrum is worth it on the Dominions. I don't know with the seraphim, I lost some to shooting and I think having a bigger squad makes them more survivable.
I am kind of a purist but I think IG allied with them would help them a great deal.


Cheers all.
