Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Adepta Sororitas Novitiates

Product Information

That said, this isn’t just going to be about the Tier List and meta – we’ll also be reflecting a bit on these concepts and what they mean. So bundle up on your favorite sofa or lounge chair, get comfortable, and enjoy. Our dataset today includes every major tournament we’ve got data on since January. How important is “The Meta” and how does it affect me? The other Comms specialist, she is able to grant 1 APL to friendlies at the normal ⬟ unlike the Exactor, while also coming with Auto-broadcaster (1 AP) ability that allows her to drop a token within ⬟ that reduces the Ballistic Skill of enemy operatives within ⬤ of it by 1. This later ability is rather difficult to use properly simply due to its limited range from the Dialogus, and the area affected. It is best used in a situation where you expect an opponent will move within ⬟ of another operative to employ a weapon of limited ranged such as a Meltagun or Grenade. Novitiate Duellist This means the logical thing to do is sit this model on an objective ASAP, performing mission actions/plinking away with her autopistol, and generating three Faith points a turn. Novitiate Exactor Let’s start off by saying that there’s no doubt in the best possible Loadout for the Sister Superior – it’s Plasma Pistol and Power Weapon (as it’s the best choice with every other faction leader that has those options available). Those deal the most damage and come with the best special rules. Also, the Power Sword gives us the option to possibly use the Superior in melee combat.

If you’ve seen the 40k Kommandos datasheet you’ll remember how annoying it is, with six different bullet points of different gear to make sure that if you built the cool options for specialists in Kill Team, everything had specific rules that conformed to exactly what’s in the kit. Judging by the new Novitiates datasheet released on Warhammer Community, someone may have realised this was getting a little out of hand – they have stuff they can take, sure, but the Kill Team Specialists here have a lot going on – there’s a trainee Dialogus, one with neural whips, one with an Eviscerator, a big old mace/censer, a condemnor boltgun, some duelling blades. The rules team have resisted the urge to translate this into 40k terms, and the Novitiates in that game can take a few bits of gear, but most of it gets rolled up into “autoguns” or “Novitiate melee weapons.” This is an incredibly sensible decision; you can build the stuff you want to play Kill Team and not find your squad is useless for 40k because you put 100pts of upgrades on a 75pt unit. We’ll have to wait and see if this plays out on the T’au side, with their new codex trailed for “early next year” on Warhammer Community this week, and we might end up seeing some of their upgrades integrated into a new 40k datasheet – the Medical Technican and Transpectral Interference Pathfinders both have shades of the Helix Adept/Comms Array guys from their sort-of equivalents, Infiltrators – but it’s nice to see a bit of restraint exercised here. Sometimes you just want to use your guys (or girls) without each one having a slightly different gun or extra thing they do. And I can’t leave without leaving my own tier list here based on my absolute opinion based on my national meta and experiences: If you followed the guide, your roster should look like that (using the numbers from the instruction manual): Hierotek – It’s no secret that even after buffs these guys are having a tough time. However, you should never be complacent even in favorable matchups meaning you want to do your best to prevent your opponent from using Reanimation Protocols effectively, additionally the Cryptek with Fly and Magnification Conduit can be a very versatile opponent, and hard to pin down. Immortals also have very effective ranged weapons, and should be given as few targets as possible, while trying to focus on the Plasmacytes. It is important to note that even without these support operatives you should expect your opponent to regain 3-4 operatives over the course of a battle, and take that into account when you attempt to Shoot or Fight them. A Final Thoughts

2. This is NOT a core box

Novitiates flame weapons come with a special weapon trait unique to their team. If a player retains a critical hit with a weapon that has the Inferno X trait the target gains an a number of Inferno tokens equal to the X value. At the end of the Turning Point roll a D6 for each Inferno token, on a 4+ the target receives 1 Mortal Wound, and the token is removed regardless of the result.

Their zeal and go-getting attitudes often mean they’re deployed as kill teams, under the stern auspices of an experienced Sister Superior who can oversee their progress.

Operatives

The Novitiates are Battle Sisters-in-training, full of youthful zeal and a burning desire to prove themselves worthy of joining their power-armoured comrades. Their main sprue can be used to assemble a full team equipped with either autoguns or autopistols and razor-sharp swords, led by an experienced Sister Superior. The model just has an autopistol, but it’s got a solid ability and unique action. Novitiate Hospitaller In an ideal world the game would be perfectly balanced if every faction had a 50% win rate, but in practice this is very difficult to achieve. Therefore we aim for every faction’s win rate to sit between 45-55%. Acts of Faith work like CP, with their own little list of ploys that they can be spent on. You get three at the start of each turn, and can save them, but in a four turn game you get twelve points to spend. However there are ways to boost the number of faith points you have, through the Pronatus or the Glorious Martyrdom tactical ploy or some of the equipment choices.

Vengeful Strike–For 3 Faith points convert a normal hit to a critical hit when making a Shoot or Fight action. This is for when the additional damage will kill an enemy, or you need a critical effect to go off (like Inferno). As well as being awesome in games of Kill Team, you can also use these miniatures in Warhammer 40,000 .** The easiest way to guarantee your copy of the ultimate Warhammer magazine is by grabbing a subscription . The flamers on the Purgatus and the Mace of the Righteous on the Perceptor are Inferno weapons, so there is a reasonable number of Inferno weapons available.Even more fun is their upgrade sprue, which houses enough parts to make 10 distinct kinds of operative, ranging from the relic-bearing Novitiate Pronatus to the Novitiate Exactor with her twin neural whips. Kommandos – I’ve said before, I think Kommandos are one of the most balanced teams in the game, and this is especially true against Novitiates. These guys can match you on both the ranged and melee front. Armed with Choppas they can make short work of any of your operatives in melee while shrugging off fatal hits with Tis a Scratch. Ensure that you watch your spacing due to not only Blast weapons, but also if something like the Kommando manages to engage two operatives you definitely lose them both thanks to Krump’em!. Basically, what we have here is an even matchup that will require you to ensure combat occurs on your terms, and maximize your shooting based Ploys at the correct time. C Allows the operative in question to perform any Act of Faith for free. This still falls under the restrictions for Acts of Faith, but you can basically look at this as 1-3 free Faith Points. This can be especially useful on the Condemnor or Penitent when you REALLY need a critical hit. C Glorious Hymnal costs an AP, but gives a six inch bubble around the Preceptor where Novitiates can reroll 1s and 2s when they fight. This makes hitting with weapons like eviscerators much more likely, and means Militants with Novitiate Blades can reroll all their misses unless they’re injured and miss on 3s, in which case they still have Balance and can reroll a single dice.
