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

Product Information

Basic Celestians are a little toned down from before, thanks to Exceptional Proficiency losing a wound-buffing component and their hit boost from a nearby Canoness now only being +1 instead of re-rolls. While only being able to go to a 5++ for most things is weaker, you’re definitely still going to want this in many armies. These are actually spread around a little more broadly than the Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine equivalents, since there’s more types of PRIEST in this army – the regular 25pt Preacher just knows the default Prayer, War Hymn, which is similar to their old aura ability but now just affects one CORE or CHARACTER or ENGINE OF REDEMPTION unit within 6”, granting them +1 Attack until the start of your next Command phase. Litany of Enduring Faith improves the invulnerable saves of one nearby Adepta Sororitas Core/Character unit within 6″.

Clad in thick suits of power armour and wielding weapons usually seen only among the Emperor's Angels of Death, the Adepta Sororitas take to the field with an unquenchable zeal. Pure of Will is very similar as well, but now adds 3 to Deny the Witch tests rather than subtracting 1 from enemy casting attempts. Tale of the Warrior remains a +1S aura (again CORE) and that means that the total package you can pick up here isn’t terrible (especially as you still pick after Deployment) but is now in competition with all those Priests. for 3 mortal wounds is a reasonably good trade, and it’s trivial to put this on a unit of Seraphim with hand flamers where it’s almost guaranteed to go off. Each time you gain a Miracle dice at the end of a Phase as a result of destorying an enemy unit, that Miracle dice is changed to a 6 if this Warlord destroyed an enemy unit that Phase.If you want her flying around the table punting stuff and being a nuisance, she’s clearly much better, but the tradeoff is that she’s barely a buff engine at all any more. Strength and Toughness of 5 with 4 wounds, 3 attacks and a 2+/4++ save they already look a little bit like Custodians to be fair.

Purity and Valour have both gone; the removal of Purity also knocks on to the list of Acts, with you no longer being able to use an Act of Faith to substitute for a Deny the Witch test, presumably to remove the possibility of an auto-dispel. Holy Smokescreen is the same -1 to hit stratagem that has appeared in other places such as Space Marines, while Rites of Restoration allows a Hospitaller to spend 1CP to resurrect D3 CORE INFANTRY within 3”. Warhammer Community took a look at her (very nasty) spear and statline, giving her either five big swings at D3 or ten hit rolls with a sweep attack but what they left out is that her mandatory Warlord trait (and she has to be your Warlord) is Righteous Rage, so she’s on full re-rolls all the time, and in the rare situation that she isn’t able to punk something straight away, once per game she can just straight up Fight Again at the end of the phase – which she will almost certainly survive to given she halves incoming damage and has a 2+/4++. The “Light Of The Divine” Warlord Trait is very different, allowing you to use any Miracle dice as a 6 (once per turn) but also granting a new Aura effect that allows nearby units to fall back and shoot.There are 16 different Minoris Convictions available, of which you can mix and match 15 (subject to a few restrictions specified in the text themselves, e. Enter the Ecclesiarch’s Fury, a relic chainsword with S+2 AP-3 D2; it’s -1 to hit but +1 to wound, which overall works out pretty well when you think about it, especially if you can get a source of re-rolls or a way to ignore the hit modifier such as the Blind Faith stratagem. Attack and Advance and charge – a great trait to give a melee Canoness a little more juice, such as one wielding the Blade of Saint Ellynor or Beneficence.

Finally Light of the Emperor has been rewritten in line with the new Morale mechanics in 9th edition, meaning the affected unit ignores all modifiers to it’s Leadership and during Combat Attrition tests.In addition, after failing the first saving throw of a turn you can reduce the damage of that attack to 0!
