Looks pretty solid. Gotta get another Multi-Melta into that retributor squad instead of that heavy bolter. Maybe you could drop the storm bolters on the tanks to get the points?

the faith they use gives the squad rending wps, so I do not mind the hvy bolter as it has better range. I would almost prefer all hvy bolters that are rending really, but I do not have the hvy bolter models. so it is 3 multi meltas and 1 hvy bolter. this seemd to work well against the necrons today. the cost dif between multi melta and heavy bolter is 5 pts.

play tested the list 2 times, once against necrons - losing and once against vanilla marines - draw.

I found some of the weaknesses in the dif squads and found the SOB list to be playable but fragile, the exorcists are a good choice and have proved themselves in both games.

a reg SOB troop choice is nothing to be realy feared, by any unit, easily beaten when assaulted.

dominion squads of 10 have also proved to do well.

ST Celestian is a great HQ choice with not really fearing running to the enemy alone with getting up on her 4+ if she does die.

Jacobus as a HQ does offer some benefits, but wihtout an invul save he dies quickly and if you assault with him in a squad you must choose our target carefully

I will have to try the death cult assasins instead of the celestians for assaulting, I that the assasins are def better in Close cbt but the celestians with the shooting prior and flame templates have somewhat proved useful.

The exorcists are almost too good, i would probably field 3 of them and drop the Retributor Squad.
Saves you 20 points so that you can perhaps run 2x 5 woman dominion squads in rhinos with 2 x melta instead of the single 10 woman squad you have there now.

but really, it looks solid as is. the stuff that is good, is really good.
