The WH are not, and really neither are the Sisters. The Sisters cannot produce forces which are quite as variable as some other armies though. In particular the Space Marines and far more so again the Chaos Space Marines have a colossal number of tactical options as they can be excellent at shooting, assault, being vehicle heavy or troop heavy, can have uber-characters or massed rankers, have access to all sorts of special deployment and can use any combination of these. Compared to this the Sisters simply lack the range of troop types, options and vehicles needed to produce radically varying lists. What can you do when you have only two elite choices, one troops choice, two fast attack choices and three heavy support choices?

That said I can think of a few different types of Sisters list:

1. Balanced mechanised. Lots of Sisters in Rhinos, also maybe some Celestians and Dominion in Rhinos or Immolators, a few Seraphim, Retribs and Exo's in support.

2. Balanced foot. Loads of Sisters on foot, along with Celestians, Seraphim and Retributors. Exo's in support.

3. Fire and manouevre. Variation on the balanced mechanised. Several Domin squads included with five Stormbolters each in Rhinos.

4. Bouncy army from hell. Loads of Seraphim and JP Canonesses, maybe even St. Celestine, supported by mechanised or foot troops.
