alright, the clestians with heavy bolter arn't retributors because I only have one heavy bolter and I'd like to use all the models I have...plus celestians equiped this way are actually cheaper, plus this squad is probably going to get assaulted by CC scouts knowing the way my usual opponent typically plays...so the ability to hit on 3s and the higher I stat is probably going to help.

Well I hope you get to burn those scouts.
The mobility factor is good. Almost an all-mech, except for 5 footslogging celestians.
You already have the models?

Yeah, just gotta paint 6 more sisters and the immolator and I'll be good to go.

The only bit of the list I don't like is that priest. I'm sure for the same points you could get a Canoness with an eviscerator, or a blessed weapon if you take away one of those books of st Lucius.
Also the 5 celestians riding with him in the back of that Rhino have probably lodged a complaint with the local Cardinal for putting that smelly, amasec drinking, chainsaw-wielding nutter in their clean Rhino, that they wipe down five times a day.
Oh, and the canoness gives you more Faith points too.

My Priestess isn't smelly!
just a random repentia model...
but I see what you mean about taking another cannoness instead
for some reason I never thought of that...

If its a repentia model then you can just say she's a canoness without even switching models. Those bonus Faith points might help out!
Your priestess isn't that smelly! I was just in Celestian Mode.

That might work...
all I'd have to do is convince my opponent that all that leather actually counts as power armor.

I quite like this =I= model. She has an inferno pistol, but you could chop it off (sacrilege).  |

Ymmot: Couldn't be too hard, after all they already have to believe that those strips of cloth are actually carapace armor.

I could just feed them some half-assed bit of fluff like "Her near psychotic faith givers her a +3 armor save!"
they'd buy it I'm sure...
the question is, would I feel right about it?
::EDIT::
Yes...I suppose,
but I still think she'd make a more convincing priest.

Question - what's with the last squad of Celestians?

I have the same question.

Yeah, they're not exactly doing a whole lot but spraying things with their heavy bolter
they'll probably not get bothered too much as I'm sure my opponent will go for the more immediate threat first, and if they do get shot at or assaulted at least it will draw the enemy away from my rhinos.
I know it isn't the most tactically viable choice but I work with what I got.
also...they're bait for CC scouts
2 out of 3 games I play is with a friend of mine who loves his cc scouts for their ability to infiltrate, scout, and then move up and assault on the first turn.
I don't want to lose a rhino to krak granades.

Put in a Retributor squad then, You'll have enough points for a second heavy bolter if you do that.
Up to you.

by my calculations a retributor squad with 4 sisters+vet with BoSL and one heavy bolter comes in at 89 points
so...for 4 points less I get holy hatred...
seems like a good deal to me.
