I know this suggestion is asking to be screamed at (and it might be awhile if anyone reads this as INQ isnt exacatly the most popular kid on the block) BUT!

Why not add sisters in term armor? Not looking for anything special, same gear and stats like your basic terminators, but it would be a good reason to use Onslaughts sisters in term armor models, but it might help give them some teeth since the sister list is fairly weak in its own right.

Im not trying to blow cannon out of the water here (not that GW hasnt done that already) but there isnt an actual reason why they dont wear it aside SM are the priority for weapons/armor. Maybe stick it in the 0-1 group per army, 350 for 4, max of 6 for 50pts a piece?

Thoughts?

Your right its not really an option from a background view point. The games that I have been playing sisters are not that weak, especially with faithful rule, they have good armour/numbers/maneuverability and some great shooty formations.
The problems I'm facing with this list is some of the support choices and whether the stats fill the units but the last couple of games I have used them in larger numbers and had mixed success.

Here is what I made up for the Terms..

Athena Battle Armour INF 15cm 4+ 4+ 3+ Storm Bolter
2 x Multimelta
Power Weapons (15cm)
15cm
Base
MW 5+
Assault, MW, +1A Reinforced Armour,Thick Rear Armour, Counts as 2 for transporting per base

0-1 per army, 4 bases 6 max +75 per extra.

Just dont want great minis from onslaught go to waste. Though really I guess could buy the range and call them female grey knights using the GK rules as the minis are near impossible to get.

They just dont have a ton of staying power asside the big big war machines. But it makes the list not as dyanmic. I dunno just thoughts.

That's a interesting stat line, if you really want to use those minis there are celestians that can be taken as a upgrade.
I'm not going to include much else atm but you may be right about a solid punchy formation in the list.

They're not really though. while OSM products are great being used for Epic forces, Dean's not making replacements for an OOP game; He's making stuff for his own universe/rules. Also, as you stated, they make for great Grey Knights/30k Terminators if that's all you're interested in so they're already quite usable.

As to inventing a completely new thing for the Sisterhood not backed up by any fluff, that way lies the path of madness. What's the deficiency in the list you're specifically trying to fill?

Or maybe field them as marines, but fluffily say they are sisters! So you can play the whole range!

Was thinking about specialist titan of some sort, warlord or reaver perhaps.

Warlord/Reaver as a solid punchy thing? Would be cool. Melta Cannon and flamers or something

Yeah having a battle titan with alternate loadout with a melta cannon would be quite nice. You can simply use the AMTL to cost the build and put it right into the list if desired. IF and IH lists both have alternate titan configs so why not this?

From an aesthetic point of view I would like to see some form of unique centerpiece model for the sisters, from mobile chapel fortress to some manner of titan. Just something for some big visual flair!

ALso now have 1000pts of sisters painted and looking to arrange a game...

yeah but at that point you should just use Zombo's existing well tested list then, no? that's kinda it's theme after all. I like this one as it's something different.

One thing that I am going to change is the support option stromblade to a stormsword. Its minor but I feel it fits this list better and cuts down on macro as well

Having faced ACC's Sisters I can say that I really like the feel of the list and that I would actually be a little bit disappointed if a central piece WE was added. (I know that I would not have to play it, but the list IMO doesn't need it.)
