Hey Boyz!
I've gotten back into 40k recently and am in the middle of building a new Iron Hands dreadnaught army. In the meantime I thought I might break out my old Sisters models and get a few games in.
Here's my 1500pt Sisters list for your comments and critcisims, I do have more models than this, (extra battle sisters, seraphim, additional exorcist and rhino). I haven't been able to find my Celestine model though.
I'm looking for any advice specifically for fine tuning upgrades and wargear. Eg. Should I take veteran sisters? How should I equip the priests? Should I try and fit Veterans and a Simulacrum in the Dominion squads? etc.
Tactics wise, Jacobson sits with the Retributors giving them an additional round of rending. The priests roll with the sisters in rhinos with meltabombs to fill out points and surprise tanks and MCs. Otherwise it's pretty self explainitory.

With the Codex being part of Imperial Agents you may want to consider brings some DCA's and Crusaders that your Priest can join. Throw in an Inquisitor with cool gimmicks and you can make that a pretty stout unit that is hard to deal with even for deathstars.

can you only take those two formations given in the Imperial Agents book for Sisters, or can you form a CAD with the normal structure?

I do have some inquisition models, so I could run an Inq with DCAs and crusaders. What do you recommend I drop to fit them in though?

This is based on a CAD from Adepta Sororitas Codex. Is this not the most up to date ruleset for the sisters?

Any comments on the general composition? Or the loadouts / effectiveness of priests?

Have you considered running smaller squads of sisters in better tanks? Like the Immolator or Repressor? I'm really surprised you can fit all that in 1500 points...

If you mean his Troop units, they are already minimum size at 10 models per squad. I think the only ones he could downsize are the Dominions, by one model per squad. But, a 10-model Battle Sister squad can still take an immolator... Just can't get in it. So depends on whether he's looking for unit mobility or armored firepower. The Retributor squad could also take an Immolator.

And point of order, the priests cannot ride in the Rhinos, (unless I'm missing something) as those Rhinos are already at max capacity with the 10-model Sisters squads riding in them.

Hmmm, but then again, based on some other stuff I'm seeing, I may have missed an update to the SoB codex allowing 5-model Battle squads. Can anyone confirm/deny?

All sisters squads start at 5 strong, and can upgrade from there. Battle Sisters Squads can have between 5-20 infantry.

Thanks, def a change from before my last deployment. Guess I need to buy another update...
