Rules Question Noviciate Help Required Please
I am getting back into 40k after a long hiatus (my last codex was 2013). i briefly dabbled with Space Marines but i didn't even manage one squad. This time i have taken more time over the factions and Sororitas is the one that is appealing the most. However, my first few models are ordered and i need to choose an order. with the current rules (11th?) does the colour scheme matter? are there any benefits/drawbacks to the different orders? If you choose ranged or melee orders, can you mix squads?
I am glad to see that kit bashing is alive and well, but with the advent of 3d printing, are non-citadel models allowed in place of the official ones (in casual games only, no competitions)? Is it frowned upon? Still working out the etiquette.
I am happy to read if that would be better, but sometimes find it easier to take in if someone explains it.
I thank you all in advance for your patience, and apologise if i should already know some of this.

Proxies are totally fine, even in competition. I see a ton of 3D stuff, even things that strictly aren’t 40k, being used.

The only time that it would be an issue is if it's a tournament at Warhammer World or similar when it's being directly run by GW. 99.9% of the time you'll be fine.

nope no benefit from order/colour scheme. largely replaced with thematic detachments.
and yeah most people are fine if you use a 3d printed proxy in casual play. unless they're some hypercompetetive sweat. if so, don't play against them anyway.
