Here we go with 1850 points of Sisters of Battle, using the standard Witch Hunters codex. This is intended as a tournament list with heavy emphasis on objective grabbing and multirole offense, anchored around 4 major standing units which support 6 mechanized and high-mobility linebreakers.
-edit-
thanks go to Melissa for placing this into a "standard" format that I didn't realize was so common here. The original post will be left as is, but here's the list for easy reading

Canoness with a combi-melta and 5-man celestian retinue mounted in an Immolator. The squad carries two meltas and the Immolator has smoke launchers. 218 points and 3 Faith points.
5 squads of Sisters of Battle. 4 squads are identical. Each squad has a veteran carrying a Book of st. Lucius. The Linebreaker squads are 10-man squads mounted in rhinos and each is kitted with a meltagun and a Heavy Flamer. The Rhinos are all equipped with smoke launchers. The fifth squad is a rear objective holder, 16 strong with two meltas. 1031 points and 5 faith points.
Seraphim. 7 strong with a veteran and Book, guaranteeing that it can almost always get the preferred faith act. the vet has meltabombs while the sisters carry a hand flamer and inferno pistol set. 191 points and 1 faith point.
3 Exorcists, bog standard. 405 points.
At 1850 versus newer codexes, it really pays to pack light with this dex. My opponent has to deal with the equivalent of 69 storm troopers in power armor in addition to their mechanized support, while withstanding an average 10+ S8 AP1 shots per turn.
My real question though is this: even with all my models having a 3+ save and mechanized armor, how will my chances be against some of the current monster lists, such as this newish Leafblower list which I haven't seen on tables yet?
