Hey all, about to plunge into 9th with sisters. Typically a marine player (Imperial/Crimson Fist) so pretty comfortable with hard to shift troops and "durable" knights. Thoughts on this list? Please note i know BR repentia are popular, but just not my cup of tea, thanks .

Some points to spare, maybe another imagifier? Knights surge forward while BSS plop on objectives. Bolter retributors hang near imagifier and canoness. Melta retributors hang in immolator with palatine hunting whatever the armigers dont crack, maybe strategic reserve, but that eats 2 more of only 7 CP. Thoughts appreciated

Also thinking of dumping the immolator alogether and picking up another armiger (get 2 in a box anyways). Dump the retributor multimeltas to heavy bolters for EVEN MOAR DAKKA and using the extra points for an extra body with simulacrum for the retributors

Squeezing out more solid results from your miracle die is always a good choice for SOB.
It's kind of sad though. I've seen that the sisters are getting their own main battle tank now, but from what I've seen it's not exactly something to write home about.

I also feel you on the whole repentia angle.

If you didn't have the knights, I'd make more suggestions, but it's not like you're hurting for any heavy support at this point.

I also thought for a second that it was going to be Sisters of Battle running with Grey Knights. But this is just as good in any case.
