Looks like a very good start.  Did you rip from Lord_I's Inquisition list?
I used it as the basis for a lot of it, yes, but there are quite a few changes in prices, formations and unit stats.

Though I can see that Marauders are aircraft and the only barrage in a very short-ranged list which might make them disproportionately valuable, I think you could start with the lower Marauder point cost from the NetEA mods.
What's the recommended cost? I only remembered the BP change. And yes, I can actually see Marauders getting some use in this list, which would be a rarity ÂÂ
The Lunar looks a lot more tempting here than it does in the guard too.

The Exorcist point cost might be something to watch.  Cross-army comparison caveats and all that, but they are worse than Predators regarding firepower, don't have TSKNF and are only available to formations with much shorter ranged weapons which somewhat mitigates the advantages of their range.
Preditors were my baseline, yes. They're also the only decently ranged shooting most formations can get. Note that at this point a lot of the points costs are total guesswork and will probably change once playtested a little.

I agree that the 0-1 on the Repentia is a bit odd.  Do you really think it's needed?  Background-wise a "Repentia crusade" might be a cool army idea.  With respect to balance they don't seem like especially good units to form the backbone of a list.  You might just be able to drop it.
It's there for two reasons. Firstly to avoid the potential an all
fearless army. Secondly they're very limited in numbers in 40k, though that's a very minor concern; If you think the potential all
fearless list isn't a problem then I'll gladly lose the limit.

Finally ... no Ministorum Cathedral?  Maybe I'm still mired in older background fiction but the Sororitas tracked fortress seems like such an iconic image that it would be a shame not to include it.
Yes, I will definitely be including a mobile cathedral in some form, but I wanted to start simple and work upwards.
Do you have any background references for the cathedral? All I can find is a picture in background in the Witch Hunters book.
