New to WH Please give me any tips on my 1500 list

HQ

Canoness - Bolt Pistol, Eviserator, Cloak, Book
Retinue x9 - x1 Melta x1 Flamer, Sacred Standard
Priest - Carapace Armor, Laspistol, Powerweapon 

304pts

Elite

Inquisitor - Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Bionics

55pts

Arco-Flagellants x5

175pts

Troops

Sisters Squad x15 - Heavy Flamer, Melta
Veteren - Powerweapon, Bolt Pistol 

227pts

Sisters Squad x15 - Heavy Flamer, Melta
Veteren - Powerweapon, Bolt Pistol 

227pts

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers x9 - x2 Flamer
Rhino - Smoke Launchers

153pts

Heavy

Retribution Squad x7 - Heavy Bolter x4

137pts

Excorcist

135pts

Immolator - TL Multi-Melta, Smoke Launchers

88pts

Inquisitor goes with stormtroopers (mainly have him in there for fun and fluff) The sister squads say the total number of models in the squad, this includes the superior so if it says x15 that means 14 sisters and 1 superior just was too lazy to write it. Put some extra bodies in the heavy bolter squad to soak up some hits just in case.

High welcome to the Ordo,

ok im gonna just be general with the list

Cannoness Looks fine for what she is doing no problems with her though you may want to MC her eviscerator.
Retinue looks fine except the standard just not a fan for what it does you also may want to upgrade to a heavy flamer.
Priest change to Power Armour he will live longer, change power weapon to Eviscerator

Inquistor i just dont like the plasma pistol so i personal would change it for a bolt pistol, power weapon again just no change to a force weapon or the like.

Acros no comment i dont own any so i dont know how good they work

BSS looks good other then the power weapons drop them for ccw you wont need the power weapons

IST's i have never used them but they look fine

Retributor get a Vet with a book adds faith to the army

Exo fine
IMMY i never use the multi-melta version because the Heavy flamer version is so much better especially this edition just my thoughts

To clarify on the power weapons at str 3 they just wont do anything i know from experience it just doesnt work. So take what you want from my advice

Looks pretty good to me

Small changes
-Drop the Bionics off the Inquistor
-Preferably switch the Storm trooper weapons for plasma guns, meltaguns. Flamers are great and all, but are much better on Sisters of Battle. If your using storm troopers, take some weapons unique to them
-Get a Veteran in your Retributor squad (for +1 faith)
-Drop the multi-melta to a heavy flamer. Multi melta is too slow, too fragile and too expensive

Ok i made all of the changes you suggested and came out with 40 extra points. Any Suggestions? I could max the Arco squad or add some more to the number in the sister squads.

If you are going with Arco flaggellants there is no reason to not use max squad size.
1 usually dies when you active the stims, and you loose 1 during the assault phase due to rolling a 6 on attacks.
You should use the last 5 points to buy Extra armor for the Rhino. I can't count the number of times(even in 5th) that I kept on rolling forward due to Extra Armor.
WHEN IN DOUBT, KILL IT WITH FIRE.

There is always room for doubt
