I like the idea of 7 attacks on the charge
Having said that, your opponent can fit quite some firepower in 1500 points.
With no really tempting targets in your list, you'll probably find the penitents and repentia drawing a lot of firepower.
Also, because your only vehicles are the penitent engines, you'll probably find every anti-tank gun in the enemy army firing at them...
If, however, you keep all of them behind the shields, your opponent will probably shoot your scoring units first and then flank the rest behind the shield.
I think it'll only work if you can somehow force the enemy to close in on you without them getting the charge...
But then again this is said more from logic than actual experience playing sisters, and you seem to imply this isn't the most serious list
I'd say, try it and see what the results are!
