I know I'm a bit late to this party burst I have one question about the stats of the battle sisters and retributors. In zombo's list battle sisters have heavy flamer 15cm AP 4+ , and retributors have 2x heavy bolter. In this list they are flipped so battle sisters have heavy bolter and retributors have two heavy flamers. I've skimmed this thread, but couldn't find the reason for this change. Most of the other units are the same, so why this change?
I mainly want to know because I'm about to start gluing my new sisterhood minis, and I'd like to know the stability of any changes. My 28mm sisters army has already had too many conversions and weapon swaps brought about by codex changes so I'm just ultra careful where sisters are concerned

Well (I have been asked this question before can't remember were it's so I'm happy to do it again) my reasons are the heavyflamers better fit the retributors role on the battle field as close support heavy weapon specialists. It also better represents the lists theme as a whole, with area clearance weapons and aggressive advancing tactics used to overwhelm their preferred enemy (cultists and other heretic scum).
The retributors are veteran sisters who through faith have turned to the employment of heavy weapons, with seniority they develop their skills in the use of heavybolters, heavyflamers and multi-meltas.
