You dropped half your points on a single squad?

I think that if the DW player has half a brain, he'll eat you alive.

Stick to preachers, leave the bodyguard at home, and get some retributors with heavy bolters.

Your 1000pts has 45 models, that's better than some armies, Space Marines, etc, but it's pitiful for Sisters.  For my 1000pt list, I have 58 models so far, and I'm only up to 920.

I def agree, drop the body guard, get some more troops in there.  You dont have enough firepower to take on DW with your models.  Numbers is what you need to win against those boys. :(

Hold on, you have over 250 points placed in a command squad in a 1k army? Not only that, but a command squad that will have to walk across the board into a force of Deathwing?
A Cyclone Missile Launcher can make dog food out of that squad, and if they make it through the massive amount of fire Terminators can put out, they'll walk right into powerfists wielded by a Stubborn enemy.
Also, unless the SoB have special rules for multi-meltas, you can't even fire the one in your Celestian squad while moving.

Much, much better.

However, I'm not sure the preachers need power weapons or armor.  Divine guidance is about as effective as a S3 power weapon, and due to the majority save rules, they can't take any hits until the 3+ armor Sisters are gone.  Armor's really only worth it if they have plasma pistols.  Otherwise they tend to fry themselves.  :)

The Retributors are an interesting idea.  If you can screen them with the battle sisters until the Rets get in position to use their MM's, they can really dice up some Terminators with those.

Only other suggestion I have now is Redemptionists.  If you can afford to put together some, a squad of 20 w/ Redemptor Priest will do a number on some Terminators in assault with The Passion, Divine Guidance, and 4 Chainfists.

Good luck.

Would a Seraphim Squad be any good??? I've gotten rid of the Armour & Power weapons on the Preachers, gotten another one, & I have 83 pts left, what should I use the points on???

Much better. Lots and lots of 3+ save models will make life hell for the Deathwing unless they get into CC, in which case they'll most probably scythe down your Sisters.

I like the army.  I'm sorta partial to Seriphims so it'd be nice to fit some in there (good for flexable battle lines against slow termies).  But if you don't have the points...it happens.  Lookn' good though.
A word to the wise is useless.  It's the stupid ones that need the advice!

If electrons make electricity, then to morons make morality?...
