This is my newly finished Witch Hunters army list which includes some Daemon Hunters and a few Space Marines. The focus of this list as with most of my armies is on ranged firepower with a couple of units for CC support.
As usual any comments are welcome.

Venerable Dreadnought 145pts

Exorcist 145pts

Personally, I'd feel a little dirty taking an Exorcist in a WH army with Marines. I know they don't have the Sororitas rule, but it still doesn't seem right that they can be taken when Sororitas units can't, and the armoury does infer the are Sororitas Vehicles (see note 5). I know technically it's a legal list though.

Your two inquisitorial stormtrooper squads, I would make them carrying the same weapon in each, then each has a purpose, rather than the half and half approach you have gone for.

i take it this is using the current (soon to be 'old') codex?

under the 5th ed codex, i make these:

Scouts = 98 pts (although you would probably want to add cluster bombs and camo cloaks, which would cost more)

and:

Dread = 185 pts (no Tank Hunter, but gets Smokes & Searchlight)

personally i would wait until you have the new Marine codex in your hands until you finalise your list.

hope that helps

Now that I have the new SM Codex, which is bigger than the two Hunter Codexs put together, I have updated the list. Note that the three SM units have a choice of weapons for dealing with MEQs or swam armies.

Venerable dreads just aren't as groovy as ironclads.. and if you want that weapon loadout- the plasma cannon is almost a waste of the extra BS anyway.. and half its weapons are twinlinked (pure silliness on GWs part IMO) (the asscannon I guess it makes some sense).. but it costs 60 points more than the regular one in same load out.. Thats a speeder with 2 heavy bolters .. for a 1/6 better on 4 shots and a reroll on a table(which is still not as good as the eldar cheesypuffs).

Even less of a fan of venerables in 5th

Updated 2.5ish. I've taken KMB's advice and swapped Venerable for a Land Speeder with two Heavy Bolters, also I took out the CC Inquisitor and replaced him with a Bike squad consisting of three Attack Bikes with Muti-Meltas.

If you are taking this as a Daemonhunters Army & not a Witchhunters Army you should really take a Leman Russ instead of the Exorcist as it is a Soritas Vehicle & only available to a Sisters Army as it is crewed by Sisters.

Of course you could swap all those Storm Troopers for Sisters who have a better Armour Save anyway (lol)

doesnt say that in my codex.

You cant have an exorcist as an ally anyway. Heavy support units cannot be chosen as allies from the witch hunter list.

What you are thinking of is having a witch hunter force with space marine allies. You can't have allied space marines in a witch hunter force if it contains Sororita units. The exorcist isn't actually listed as a sororita unit even though it has battle sister crew.
If some one tries this, mention the fact that the exorcist has listed as options vehicle upgrades that are 'sororitas vehicle only'.
On the other hand, rhino's driven by battle sisters can't have 'sororita' only upgrades because they aren't listed as sororita units either, and don't have the options for the upgrades.

So, to sum up: Does it have battle sisters listed as crew? Yes? Its a sororita unit. No? It's not a soroita unit.
Arguments should be settled by a duel to the death with the big rule book. Battle sister players will win as they have the faith of the Emperor with them.

Right, as angelwing has said this is a Witch Hunters army with allied Space Marines and a couple of Daemonhunters representatives. On the subject of the Exorcist, the Immolator clearly states that it can only be used with AS, the Exocist make no such distinction; as for the AS vehicle Options I'm not taking any so the point is moot. To be honest I'm more surprised that no one has said anything about the Attack Bike Squad.

True Tim!
Just another "grey" area that slipped through the GW Proof Readers.

Proof Readers?? What Proof Readers????

I believe it's just one of those things that seemed obvious and no one questioned it, even though the boxed bullet point about immolators only available to battle sisters is there......

couldnt it be intentional? afterall, couldnt the exorcist statline be used to represent a generic ancient mysterious weapon platform?

or couldnt it have been left out of the rules for balance reasons, giving (non-SoB) WH viable anti-tank firepower?

i dont play Sisters yet (although i have bought a squad and written a CP list), but i intend on using C: WH as a 'counts as' for my AdMech. i was quite happy to realise that i could use the Exorcist's rules in my non-SoB force (and in my case, its perfectly fluffy).

if you wanted to build a 100% fluffy themed force then you probably shouldnt include an SoB Exorcist in a non-SoB force. that doesnt mean you cant have some ancient revered gun platform, just convert something up so its doesnt look like its crewed by or belongs to the SoB, and say its an Inquisition relic-weapon.

~ Tim

I think it would fit right in with your ad mech army as a relic weapon like the old epic land train based weapons:
