Welcome Gilber987

Your list has what you need. A good mobile unit, a strong fire support unit, an elite unit to help with combats and a solid leader (though maybe you meant to write "Cannoness" instead of "Celestian" for your HQ?).

The only thing I would change, is that I would pick up a multi-melta in the Celestian Squad as you never know when you need some anti-armor capability and I would probably take down the storm bolters from the squad to field that melta, perhaps dropping the squad to a size of 6. As it is, you have 3 Faith Points (if that is a Cannoness HQ afterall) which is enough for the 500 point games. You've got armor and you have good numbers at the moment. Also, if you can swing it, a book of St. Lucius would be very beneficial on your Cannoness for the rest of your squads

That looks pretty solid to me!

Good use of the Storm Bolters too on those Superiors.
Let us know how your fist games go

Squad (10 Sisters)

Seraphims (5 Seraphims, two with hand flamers)

'faith=3'

Very nice list!

The only thing that I'm worried about it is the lack of anti-armour, for you even showed it that there is tanks in a 500pt game! so try to sneak some melta guns or better yet, plasma guns into the list, just to make it nice and sweet!

not enough points don't know what to take away for more meltas. Battle sisters can't have many plasma guns by the way. Have to rely on my only melta gun.
