Another idea...
I'm totally gonna do a CSM list, but right now the funds for spikey marines are a little low. So I thought I'd try cobbling together something different using models that I have available. (mostly)
It's semi-spammy in that is has three identical squads in it. Anyway...your thoughts?

Plasma Pistols are not your friend. Combimeltas are. So are Eviscerators.
Looks like a reasonably solid list. Sisters are a hard army to get right, so you'll need 20-30 games with them to tweak a list to be exacty what you want, but this is a good place to start.
Hmmm the plasma pistols were more of a model choice than anything else. Looks like I got me some convertin' to do. Of course I also considered dropping the seraphims and maybe a squad of sisters and taking a unit of allied Grey Knights. Not necessarily tournament valid depending on the rules but potentially fun. Will have to play with the numbers a bit.
Take 2 IG Valkyries and load some squads in those. I got 2 you can borrow.
I would offer to loan you my Ogrynns, but I imagine the rumor has got out about BoLs-con and your sisters would refuse to be fielded with them....
Contrary to popular belief, you cannot take IG Valyries in a Witchhunters or Daemonhunters force. Both of the old codexes are VERY specific on precisely what you can take as IG allies. To include the ever popular Armored Fist platoon for example. You CAN take Witchhunters or Daemonhunter allies in a Guard force and that's how people are getting around that. But, although fluffy (Assuming you're battling the archenemy of mankind that is), I think that doesn't really play to the strengths of the Guard. Also I am loathe to pick up a guard codex because then I'll just want more models that I cant really afford right now.
You can borrow ANY IG stuff that I have as I don't even want to look at it currently... I'm very burnt out on them and am going SM all the way....
I like the list. I agree that plasma pistols are a waste for what the squads are and a waste in general (except for assault Templars for ass/side shots on vehicles). I do not recall the restrictions with repentia, but with new 4+ cover for everyone would they be a good choice now? As for the "spam" I'd call your list redundancy...you aren't finding the best bang for the buck/most kill least model deal and simply spamming it.
Butt Head I may take you up on that IG deal. I have been kicking around some IG lists and would love to play test them.
You know where I live... C'mon and gettem'
I'm with rolling stop. I don't see it as spam so much redundancy.
I've always been too much of a wuss to use plasma.
Why the storm troopers, other than the fact you've got them painted up? I don't really have a complaint about them, they just seem the odd man out (pun intended!).
