With all the psychers being fielded lately I thought I would make some adjustments to my Sisters of Battle list to give me a little more psychic defense. My original list was a strictly Sisters army, but now I have decided to add in some Inquisition units. I threw in 2 junior Inquisitors and gave both Hammer of the Witches psychic power. I then took 2 small units of Inquisitorial Storm Troopers. My thought is the Inquisitors can join the Storm Troopers and sit in the back guarding objectives and throwing out 2 Hammer of the Witches each turn to mess with the enemy psychics. I am hoping that this coupled with my sisters Shield of Faith can nullify much of the psychic powers being wielded lately.
I have also decided to take a priest so that I can field 2 Penitent Engines. I know a lot of people feel that the engines suck but I want to give them a try. I figure to run them straight at the enemy, this will hopefully draw fire away from my other units and if they make it into the enemy lines they can be very effective in HtH if my rolling is good for their amount of attacks.

I wanted to know what anyone thinks. Is this list missing anything? I am considering taking an Inquisitor lord to get the Psychic Hood , do you think this would be a better route to go? Anyway feel free to throw out some suggestions as I am open to improving on the list.

Looks good. I was going to suggest a psychic hood as well. Even on one of the ordinary inquisitors it still gives you some chance to nullify an attack, and it's unlimited range. If the Inquisitors are going to be objective camping the short range of the inferno pistol means they're not going to get much use out of it. Also, I'd be tempted to take Divine Pronoucement on some one of the Inquisitors instead of Hammer of the Witches twice. Divine Pronoucement will still be useful against armies which don't have much psychic capability (like Orks for example).
Chris, I think you are right, if I stick with the 2 inquisitors I will give one a Psychic Hood. I also like the idea of switching one to Divine Pronouncement. I had the extra points so I figured the inferno Pistol could be useful if a vehicle approached the objective, but it will most likely be what I drop so I can pick up Divine Pronouncement.
Thanks for the sound advice.
