Well I'm not really an expert on Witch hunters, but I do think you need some heavier weapons. Rhinos are easy to shoot down, so IMO I think that you shouldn't rely on them too much. Try fitting in room for some seraphim to distract all the threats (along with the canoness) which face the rhinos. Taking out one of these squads should be good enough to fit a decently sized seraphim squad, and I also think it would be a good idea to have Inferno Pistols. Also, just out of curiosity, why haven't u given the canoness any pistol? I guess if you have the points left after changing the squad, then get her a inferno pistol.

Hopefully this helps

You need exorcists stat.

Your list is lacking anti-tank as a whole, and genrally also needs a little more ranged firepower. Exorcists helps with both the issues that I have put up.

Drop the Celestians and the Dominions, and get yourself some Exorcists (3 is god-like, but generally two would be enough for a 1k list), and if you have the points remaining, put a Meltagun in each squad.and also a Inferno pistol on the Canoness.

Like it was stated before

Inferno pistol on the canoness or at least meltabombs

Replace the dominion with a squad of seraphim with hand flamers and meltabombs. Should be good for both tank hunting and infantry killing unless you are facing a tank company or something like that. This also takes some shoots off the canoness.

Drop celestian squad for a exorcist.

Swap out one flamer in each of the sister's squad to a meltagun.

Maybe this would be better. I don't want to bring less than 5 tanks since my opponets always field a good deal of things like heavy bolters and assault cannons.

The seraphim are always targeted first. Any ideas on how to keep them alive? I generally play low cover maps.
