I have now put this in the right forum.
Well, this is aminly to use up models that I ahve and don't use too often - my main sistars army has gone down the drain now that prices are going up where I live. I might build on this in the future. At the moment, the only things I don't have are the special / heavy weapons for the Sisters squads, and the Retinue for the inquisitor.
My own fluff is that this is a small task force assigned to take out rampaging Ork warbands, under the authority of an Inquisitor Lord. in their travels, they have encountered patrols from a variety of armies.
Basically I will be facing mainly Orks, but also SM and varients, Tau, Necrons, Eldar...you name it, I'll be playing it (apart from Squats )
I normally WOULD go all mechanised, but Rhinos will be too expensive (and I have at least 3 other armies I need to complete before working on larger Sisters armies), so a mechanised force is out for now. What do you vets think of the list then?

Now, many people say that the Vindicare is "cheesey", but my gaming group is allowing me to use it for our campaign we are running (exterminate the Heretics and Xenos), as I am the only Ordo player in our group.
The Sniper sits at the back with the Retributors. I am hoping that the Vinicare will be able to use the Turbo Penetrator to kill off enemy HQs - most should only have 2 wounds max. at this level. He eill then take out Sergeants (or equivalent) or Specail/Heavy weapon troopers.
The Retributors wil lsit back and open fire on mobs of Orc Boyz, Eldar Guardians, etc. Will move up when the rest of my army has advanced.
The two sisters squads more up in a line into the enemies face, and rapid-fire. The Inq. follows behind to attempt to handle enemy "assault units" - they should be weak enough to be handled by the Inq. at this level, yeah?
Here is an alternative list, which to you rekon is better?
Yes, I know about the 1500 all-Rhino mounted, Exorcist and Seraphim Sisters army that is extremely effective, that I WAS planning to do would have worked, thanks to the tactics mainly given by yourself. But as I explained I cannot do this, and i have a few Sisters, and an Inquisitor Lorr kicking about.
However,I wanted to do something that would sort of work with all of the models that are sat around, redundant on my desk. Its just for a fun campagin down at my store, but I would like an army that can ACTUALLY do seomthing this time. In the last campaign, my guard army was...dissapointing to say the least.
What do you think of my shooty-Inquisitro based list?

So, what do you lot think of this then - and which do you think is better - I will moslty be facing Orks, although there are several MEQ, Tau and Eldar about the place.
Edit: I just noticed the WH army lists forum - could someone move it please?
