Transport for repentia

my understanding is yes they can be mounted in a rhino, but they cannot take a "dedicated transport." so the rhino would have to be from another squad or one purchased separately. when i've run mine, i just run them BEHIND a rhino, because they have fleet so they can reroll runs and do a decent job of keeping up, and the rhino can screen LoS for them. 
the elite priests should be able to join any squad they want. i don't see much of a point in joining many characters to repentia, other than maybe the +1 to your faith test. (they're already fearless) i have also heard some people say priests are just too expensive for what you get, tho i could see situationally taking one or 2 and throwing them down with condemnor boltguns as psyker hunters. 

I thought Fleet only let you reroll your assault distance, not run checks.

 

Anyway, yeah: Short answer, "No, Repentia cannot take a transports."

 

Long answer: "While Repentia cannot take a transport, there is nothing stopping them stealing a different unit's transport once the game begins."

I thought it was both? I could be wrong, I have one unit in two armies that has the rule, doesn't get used much.

Also, there are no assault transports in the sisters army :( so you'd have to unload them early anyway, which is primarily why I don't even load them up. 

I used to use the "Diving bell" tactic, surrounding them with other peoples rhinos and repressors to block line of sight to them allowing them a turn of movement undercover. Then i heard the transport blag, so i experimented with that. I have lately gone back to the Diving Bell. I find not being able to Assault out of the transport is killer. I have tried to make it work, but i have found it difficult. More often than not they are tumbled out short of the objective from an explosion, with no cover and murdered at range.
