[Epic] Adeptus Ministorum Detachment

I was painting up a squad of 40K Battle Sisters when I got inspired and
made up an Adeptus Ministorium Detachment. Since I don't have the Sisters
of Battle Codex yet, much of this is based on rumours and guesses but I'll
post it anyway...

Chain of Command: Confessor > Canoness > Units including

Notes: I gave the Battle Sisters a 15 cm range because their heavy and
special weapon upgrades are limited to Meltaguns, Flamers, Multi-Meltas,
Heavy Bolters and Heavy Flamers, which all are rather short-ranged, but
have a great firepower, one of the reasons why I gave the Sisters FP 2. The
other reason is that the Seraphim assault troops carries two boltpistols or
2 handflamers which they are allowed to fire simultaneously thus
effectively doubling their firepower.
I also gave them access to all of the Rhino chassis variants so that they
would have something else than Immolator tanks for support.
The Immolator tank, which is a Rhino chassis with twin-linked heavy
flamers, is based on the Hellhound stats, but with the speed and transport
capabilities of a Razorback.
The Frater Militaris are semi-military forces consisting of badly trained
fanatics armed with pistols, hand weapons and so on.
I'm a bit unsure about the Confessors, Preachers and Missionaries abilities
but the do have a forcefield.
I included the 'stubborn if no psykers' rule because of the Ecclesiarchys
disgust for psykers and to simulate their 'sacred rites' special rule.
I'm currently not sure if the Sisters are allowed to ride bikes so I
therefore left out that option. (But it would be nice though, the thought
of 'Biker Nuns with Guns' gives me chills running down my spine�)
