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

Product Information

Now, just over 18 months later the Sisters of Battle are back with a brand new Codex, new models and a fantastic set of Crusade rules. The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults.

Check back in next week for lots more content, including a Crusade review, Hammer of Math deep dives and more. A Leap of Faith – No Mercy, No Respite: At the end of each turn, you gain 1 point if you performed 2 or more Acts of Faith, or 2 points if it was your opponent’s turn. There is literally no reason to ever do this unless you are dead set on the fluff of it, but if you are then go off, we guess. Their Conviction continues to allow units to count as remaining stationary but now also grants a single re-roll of either a hit or wound roll when a unit attacks. Notably, you now only get an additional Miracle dice from it each Battle Round rather than each turn, and the ability to perform an extra Act of Faith is gone, replaced by the rather less potent ability for the Triumph itself to always count as having all six Sacred Rites active.She also picks up a 6” heroic and is that much nastier in a fight, with her blade going to AP-4 and doing two automatic mortals and ending the attack sequence on a six to hit. Better internal balance: Coming on the heels of the Vahl comment above this might appear contradictory, but it’s still true. If you play with very heavy terrain that might change as you can still get access to Advance/Charge from the new and improved effects of a Repentia Superior (who also gives a mighty +1 to wound), but they have to apply it in the Command Phase so can’t when emerging from a Transport.

Blessings of the Faithful and Hymns of Battle: Two new categories of rules for the Sisters, adding an extra dimension to their gameplay and giving minor characters a bit more to do than just hang around hoping for their situational abilities to pay off.Let’s start with the good one though – as well as counting as 9W for the purposes of Obscuring Terrain, the Triumph now counts this for Look Out Sir – meaning it can be shielded from shooting like any other character.

Stern and her Harlequin bodyguard form a unit of two models, with wounds first being applied to the Aeldari. Possibly the most likely combo coming out of the book is Guided with Raging Fervour, which treats all Pistol and Assault melta weapons as always being in half range, and Heavy ones as being in half range at 18”.

That’s especially true because, while you probably take a Dialogus or a Dogmata as your primary priest, having a spare War Hymn caster is going to be extremely valuable in a melee-focused list as it lets you use Fiery Conviction to buff up a unit after it jumps out of a transport. They have the Vehicle keyword so miss out on some of the buffs that apply only to Infantry (they can’t be resurected by the Hospitaller for example) although they do have the Core keyword allowing them to benefit from some re-rolls. Sacresants weigh in at 14pts per model and sport a 2+/4++ save profile, potentially augmented by the Inviolate Shieldwall stratagem for -1 to wound against them in the fight phase.
