I call them my 'Nam Nuns, AKA the Vietnam Vixens, due to their overuse of heavy flamers :3
This is my Sororitas Command Squad (perched atop a beautiful piece of terrain from Battlefield In A Box's gothic set), and my Canoness Limstella. I love these girls, partially because they are certified immortal. My luck is mostly focussed on them, because they can roadblock an entire army just with passed armor and FNP saves x3 Also no one wants to assault them...for some reason :V (they all also carry power mauls, but you can't see those)

They're the glass cannon of the Imperial forces, definitely. With high leadership, WS, and a 3+/6++ save, they're pretty sturdy, and they have more melta and flamers per capita than any other force. Their strong point is probably in the meta; they can be fitted to handle the meta of other armies, and since no one plays them, they have no meta of their own, so your opponent will almost always be at a tactical loss.
The downside is that they're fragile and not always reliable. 3+/6++ is really good, but T3 means they're going to take a LOT more wounds, and unlike other T3 armies, they don't come in high enough numbers to handle losses. I've also never passed a War Hymn on the first try (always keep laud hailers nearby, seriously), and if whether you pass or fail your test for an Act of Faith, you still lose it (again, keep laud hailers around), meaning that ONE unlucky roll can cost you big-time :I

Nooo, I erased the comment 'cause wanted to add something and you answered in between XD *facedesk*
60$ is a deal only because they just cost you an arm and not an arm and a leg :P
But I like the idea of heavy flamer and maul. Maybe a bit pricy for squishy guardsmen in power armour, but surely killy :)
Salamanders can get green(er) with envy against the Nuns.

You know, the Sororitas Command is actually pretty awesome x3 IN THEORY, they can even handle a Space Marine Command squad in any situation, for less points. Their base price is 65 points, and each girl can take a special/heavy weapon AND a melee weapon AND one of them can carry a Sacred Banner of the Orders Militant (+1 Attack in a 12" bubble, plus re-rolls on Morale). You're playing Sisters, so you're PROBABLY going last, so you may as well pack power axes (thus turning that fancy artificer armor into cotton candy), and just tank your 3+/6++/FNP. For added bonuses, I always put them with Canoness Limstela, who ALWAYS carries a power sword, rosarius, and the Cloak of Saint Aspira (re-roll failed armor and invuln).
Like I said, I've roadblocked entire armies with my Sororitas Command x3

Granted, they ARE still Sisters, and getting them where they need to be will require some tactics and luck (and an Immolator) x3 With the reputation they've garnered, my Vixens can be sure to attract half an army's worth of fire if they so much as peak out of their Immolator (which I can still use to distract from the advance of my Penitents and conclaves, but I still don't appreciate the rude gesture). T3 means they will be eating a LOT of wounds, and you need luck and a hospitaller on your side if you're going to have a hope of survival x3 Even with the devastation they wreak, I don't think I've had a game where my Vixens came out unscathed, and once everything is tallied up, they're still almost a 200-point investment which needs to be carefully handled.
