Ok 2 more thoughts:
Pentinent engines- ever going to get used?
If I switched out the one dominion squad with f n hf and one rhino from a basic SOB squad to give seraphim for celestin and pump fOot SOB up and gave them f n hf
Would that be a bit more flexible?
Lose a TLmm immolator n dom squad n rhino
Gain prot for celestine still some anti tank and bigger objective sitting squad

Penitent engines - no one ever took them because they were so easy to blow up before... now bolters can take away their hull points and blow them up even easier... rage gives a handy +2 attacks now, but there is no way these things will ever cross the board...
compare to a killa-kan (which is less than half the price of a penitent engine): same AV but the kan has the ability to get a KFF save and gets three gun options and the engine is open topped which even makes it less survivable... for double the points... and no utility outside of combat range (given it's only shooting attack is a flamer)...
I've seen them used (at Astro) before, and they were pretty terrible...but I don't see any logical reason to field them now... pity as the model is fantastic....
I haven't had alot of luck with seraphim (one of the only things in my SOB army that hasn't earned a paint job yet... lol...) and Celestine is pretty survivable just on her own... she basically should be charging turn two anyways... but any way of getting her there is very useful... even foot sisters for ablative wounds for turn one (you'll lose 6" of movement however) are a cheaper option, and have more numbers, better shooting, and are a scoring unit to boot!
Dominions are a great choice in the list currently... and a way to incorporate a form of alpha strike that can really increase your mobility... now against an infantry list... well not so great...

So core of my army will always be the followoing:
HQ:
St Celestine with seraphim how many and weapon assortment?
Uriah crusaders n DCA in rhino.
Troops:
3 x 10 double flamers in rhinos
Fast attack
Seraphim 5 to 10 unsure of weapons
Dominion 2 mg in TL MM immolator
Heavy
2 exorcist
I have the following options
Another exorcist, or retrubutor squad w 4 of any hvy choice.
Another dominion squad with meltaguns.
I could do a repentia squad but unsure of its usefulness.
I have extra rhinos and immolators
Only thing I would consider is purchasing a repressor for max dominion w 4 mg or retributor squad w 4 hvy weapons.
Thoughts?

you'd probably really benefit from the Aegis defense and quad gun, given if you come up against flyers you really don't have much defense to it...

Only anti flyer thought I had, remember I don't want allies.
