Making a competitive sisters of battle list at 1250pts for a tourney. The tourney doesn't use stronghold or escalation rules so don't worry about a rev. The idea is create enough targets and my opponent can't handle everything.

So that's 6 armour 11 boxes with scoring units inside. And three armour 13 boxes firing rockets everywhere. I'm putting 3 exogrcists and the three heavy bolter immorlator on the skyshield. Lots of targets for my opponent. Is this a competative list for sisters?

Immolators... With heavy bolters? No. Just no. Get a rhino instead. Heavy bolters are definitely not worth the 20 points (not counting the loss of transport space).

Also, I notice a distinct lack of flamers. Flamers are one of the strengths of a sisters army, so you'll definitely want some of those.

Your basic sister squads don't have any special weaponry. Get them either flamers or meltaguns. Especially the former is definitely worth the 15 points should your unit get charged.

Get Celestine or Jakobus. I know you're trying to save points on HQ, but just get one of them. It's undoubtedly worth the cost.

Exorcists are fun against light vehicles, but take three of them in the same place and I guarantee they'll have next to no useful targets after turn 2.

Also, you have six scoring units. Drop 1/2 of them to get some seraphim or dominions. Your list needs them.

I think your army should be able to deal with a mech list just fine, but should you come face-to-face with either a horde army or a MC spam, you're toast.

I'd HIGHLY suggest St. Celestine. She's a bargain and almost always gets more than her worth of points back. Get some Seraphim with them and that'll add some much needed CC in your army.
