	*'''Seraphim Squad''' - Poor Seraphim used to be the core of your army in 4th edition, but like most jump infantry they got nerfed pretty hard. Never the less they can still be useful if you know how to use them. The trick is to keep them safe and out of LoS until they can strike, throwing down flamer and brazier templates before darting out of combat with their hit and run rule. Just for the love of the Terra don't mistake these for counter-assault units, they are T3 and will perform as such. As always be sure to upgrade to a venerable sister superior with a Simulacrum Imperialis, you'll be using a '''LOT''' of faith with these girls.		*'''Seraphim Squad''' - Poor Seraphim used to be the core of your army in 4th edition, but like most jump infantry they got nerfed pretty hard.

	*'''Exorcist''' - Not the tank chewing murder machines they were in fourth ~~addition~~, but still quite good at their role and more importantly the only dedicated anti-armor unit you have. An important note is that these missile spewing behemoths can remain fairly effective while on the move, outclassing a similar unit like a predator annihilator. Take advantage of this and don't be afraid to reposition if need be. As always they are best taken in pairs to mitigate the randomness of their damage.		*'''Exorcist''' - Not the tank chewing murder machines they were in fourth edition, but still quite good at their role and more importantly the only dedicated anti-armor unit you have.

	*'''Immolator''' - Your sisters need to get within 12", and emperor knows they're not getting there on foot. As a transport its basically an expensive Rhino that will draw more antitank fire. It starts to shine when taken en masse. A wall of flame belching AV11 metal can quickly overrun enemy positions.		*'''Immolator''' - Your sisters need to get within 12", and emperor knows they're not getting there on foot.

	*'''Battle Sisters Squad''' - 11 points for 3+ saves, bolters, and faith? Yes please. These will form the base of any competitive army. Mount them up with a flamer/melta to take the fight to the enemy quickly. ALWAYS upgrade to venerable sister superiors. Without faith you're just a retarded space marine army knockoff. Oh and if you're foot slogging it what the hell, storm bolters for everybody.		*'''Battle Sisters Squad''' - 11 points for 3+ saves, bolters, and faith? Yes please.

	*'''Inquisitorial Storm Troopers''' - Its 1 whole point to trade up from glory boys to bolter bitches, what the hell is wrong with you? Really the only time you would take these is if you wanted cheap plasma guns, any other situation you'd be better off trading up to sisters or down to inducted guardsmen. Oh, and the Adeptus Arbites versions drop their hellguns for shotguns, just in case <s>they were too useful for you.</s> you wanted to attach a priest and make them into a poor man's assault squad, because you're playing witch hunters, so why not? It's not like you're going to win. Give them a chimera and give the Arbites Veteran and the priest Eviscerators to make a unit capable of slicing apart small MEQ units and vehicles.		*'''Inquisitorial Storm Troopers''' - Its 1 whole point to trade up from glory boys to bolter bitches, what the hell is wrong with you?

	*'''Zealots (Chapter Approved)''' Some good close combat fighters that can re-roll on charge and take negative morale modifiers as positive ones~~. Essentially~~ serve as an excuse to use a priest ~~(and they are the ''only'' excuse)~~. A full unit of 20 with Exterminators, 4 Fanatics armed with Eviscerators and Grenade Launchers can be a scarily brutal close combat unit, but costs as much as a Land Raider without a Priest, so be aware what you're getting yourself into. They also aren't faithful and don't get dedicated transports, so they're best kept clear of a mechanized army list. But if you're doing a walking list, they could be useful. Also, while the entry suggests to use Flagellants, if you're completely crazy (as evidenced by the fact that you're still using Witch Hunters) you could use Sisters of Sigmar models from Mordheim, as they fit the visual theme of the army better.		*'''Zealots (Chapter Approved)''' Some good close combat fighters that can re-roll on charge and take negative morale modifiers as positive ones, they essentially serve as an excuse to use a priest.

	*'''Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord''' - A versatile HQ choice that almost never stacks up to a good Cannoness. Best taken with a psychic hood against opponents fielding psykers, otherwise pass on him. Psychic powers are overpriced bullshit in an army that rarely lacks bullshit. If you want assassins just take him as an elite choice instead.		*'''Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord''' - A versatile HQ choice that almost never stacks up to a good Cannoness.

	** Note that if you DO want him or an Elite Choice version, you may want to bring a Psychic Power. Diving Pronouncement can be kinda funny as can Scourging or Word of the Emperor, Purgatus gets a bad rap but can be hilarious if you combine it with a Celexus assassin, let's see any sorcerer try to use any of his powers at Leadership 3-4. On balance though, most of the Psychic Powers are overpriced, but if you want to bring an Assassin and thus have to bring an Inquisitor, they can be kinda lulzy. Scourging is great on low armor units relying on Invuls to save them.		** Note that if you DO want him or an Elite Choice version, you may want to bring a Psychic Power.

	*'''Priests''' - Not an HQ choice per se, but instead attach to your other units. Great for <s>taking away your sisters' rapid fire rule as well as for getting them killed in charges.</s> actually being a decent counter-charge option on your Sisters, re-rolling to hit rolls with S5? Yes please, just bring along Retributors (or more excorcists) for the long-range dakka you'll need, and don't worry about the mandatory charge if you don't want to charge, if you attach him to anybody firing bolters then they can't charge anyway. Also gives you access to a bunch of units you probably didn't want~~. If you absolutely have to take one attach him to a squad of zealots with an eviscerator~~.		*'''Priests''' - Not an HQ choice per se, but instead attach to your other units.
