Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Adepta Sororitas (En) [Personal Computers]

Product Information

A decent back-pocket stratagem if your other anti-psychic defences fail, or possibly also against something like a vehicle explosion or one of the increasing number of weapons with a mortal wound component since it’s any phase. Blessings of the Faithful are a new set of rules that allow you to upgrade the Canoness and Palatine units in your army in a similar way that Space Marine players are able to upgrade their Librarians and Apothecaries. Your journey does not end there however, for if your Saint Potentia or Living Saint ever fail an out of action test you’ll accrue Martyr Points and must attempt a Martyr test.

The book has 64 pages and the cover is printed in color while the majority of the book remains in black and white, although there are several pages of colour images of miniatures. The Sigil probably stands out as the best single item, just to give you more flexibility with Hymns, but there’s interesting possibilities with Ecclesiarch’s Fury too. Check back in next week for lots more content, including a Crusade review, Hammer of Math deep dives and more.The Blessings of Sebastian Thor grant 2 sacred rites to the bearer’s unit instead of 1, while the Simulacrum Sanctorum imitates the Venerated Saint stratagem from the previous codex. Some units in the Codex have the Zealot ability which allows those units to re-roll hit rolls in the first round of combat. If you really just want to maximise the impact of your meltaguns, this combo seems like a clear winner. The Adepta Sororitas are a uniquely placed faction in Warhammer 40,000 – they remain regular humans, but are equipped with power armour and boltguns like the posthuman Space Marines. Potentially spicy stuff, though possibly a little hard to set up – though you get your own turn’s worth of movement and fighting to get in place for it.

It’s notably a complete nightmare on Battle Lines, where your opponent has the choice of two equidistant mid-table objectives, which is really no choice at all – so long as you’ve not put yourself well out of position for one of them. If, for some reason, you feel a chain-flamer wielding zealot fits your Sororitas theme better than the extremely antiquated metal models you can definitely pick this up, and loaded this way she’s surprisingly deadly for 30pts.

It can be used in any phase and forces the enemy to subtract 1 from wound rolls that target this unit. There’s also some turnabout available; as we mentioned, these aren’t auras and so can’t be affected by anti-aura abilities, but Divine Deliverance can do over other people’s; in your opponent’s Command phase you pick an enemy unit within 6” with at least one Aura ability, pick one of those abilities, and if you can beat their Leadership on 3D6 that aura turns off until the start of their next Command phase.

Valorous Heart units get a 5+ to ignore mortal wounds, and can reduce AP by 1 against AP-1 or AP-2 attacks – a nerf to their overall endurance from the previous ignore AP-1 (or AP-2, with an Imagifier) and 6+ to ignore any wounds. Empowered by their faith and capable of performing miraculous feats, the Battle Sisters march alongside mighty tanks and powerful mechanical warsuits to bring fire and fury to every corner of the galaxy. The first is a generic ability that the character gains, such as adding 1 to the Strength and Damage characteristics of that character’s melee weapons in the case of “Rapturous Blows” or allowing the character to force an enemy unit within 3″ to fight last in the case of “Word of the Emperor”. The second ability, the “Miraculous ability”, can be activated by the character in the Command Phase (and lasts until your next Command Phase) by discarding a Miracle dice. There are a massive number of buff characters competing for your points, but the Hospitaller is definitely on the list if you’re going wide, and can be a good place to put the Book of St.

The Decree Passive lays down some restrictions on the number of Canoness and Missionary models you can include in each Detachment (one each per Detachment) in addition to a limit on the number of Cult Imperial Priest units you can include (no more than the number of Adeptis Sororitas Character units. There’s also an apparent typo in their points as things stand, which claims they’re 240pts per model on a fixed unit of 3.
