I'm teaching a friend to play and wants to try out Sisters of Battle - he enjoys space Catholics, as a rule. I wouldn't normally be so leery of my own skill at creating learning lists, but the Sisters of Battle codex is kind of janky, so I want to get some feedback before showtime.
Note: My SoB model collection is rather limited, but I'm not against a few simple proxies. I have more freedom to manipulate my Blood Angels list.
My friend is a quick study, so I'd like to make sure I have lists that strike that perfect balance of ease and gamability so we can actually get our game on once he learns the basics.
Sisters of Battle 750
HQ
• Canoness w/Bolt Pistol, Power Sword
Troops
• 10 Battle Sisters, 2 Flamers, Simulacrum Imperialis
> Rhino
• 10 Battle Sisters, 2 Flamers, Simulacrum Imperialis

Heavy Support

And the list I'll be playing...
Blood Angels 750
HQ
• Librarian w/Jump Pack

Additionally, with lists this small, do you think we should play on a 2x2, or a 4x6?
