Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000: Codex: Adepta Sororitas

Product Information

They hurl themselves at the enemy without hesitation, adding one to their wound rolls for melee attacks, with the ability to earn miracle dice for slaying heretical characters. Elohiem - As battle-sisters advance and gain both in skill and experience, they are granted the mark of the elohiem, meaning that they have willingly shed blood in the Emperor's service. It was there that the Battle-Sisters made their final heroic (but futile) stand against the encroaching Ork hordes. Sisters superior are inspirational leaders, acting in the forefront of the Adepta Sororitas' work, demanding unflinching obedience to the Rule of the Sororitas and unwavering faith in their subordinates.

The Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle, are an elite sisterhood of warriors raised from infancy to adore and worship the Emperor of Mankind. The first that the inhabitants of San Leor knew about the state visit by the man who was the de facto lord of the Imperium was when several thousand of his retainers marched into their simple towns, and demanded that they show the High Lord the utmost devotion, on pain of death. Such gatherings range from grand ceremonies involving several thousand new sisters and taking several solar days and nights to conclude, to smaller events where only a handful of candidates gather in the great hall. An orator of supreme skill, Sebastian Thor swayed whole worlds to his cause and turned the tide against Vandire.

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 Warlord Trait and Relic remain pretty much identical to the 8th edition version (although the “Quicksilver Veil” Relic now also grants +3″ movement to the bearer).

They are experts at dealing with the different Adepta of the Imperium and broker alliances and agreements between fractious power blocks, guilds and noble houses of many different Imperial worlds. All in the courtyard went down upon their knees, and the Daughters of the Emperor proclaimed their fealty to High Lord Vandire.On the battlefield, she strikes at foes with her mace whilst exhorting the Battle Sisters to even greater feats of valour. They’ve got a 3+ armor save, and even a 6+ invulnerable save thanks to their faith in the Emepror, but toughness 3 across their infantry means they still go down under any concentrated weight of fire.

Orks traversed the Warp in their ramshackle Space Hulks, uncaring where the tides of the Empyrean regurgitated them and wreaking havoc in regions previously beyond their reach. Though their training has tempered the worse excess of their impetuosity, Dominions still yearn to fight at the fore of any Sororitas attack.

The Pulpit of Saint Holline’s Basilica substantially different, now Infantry within 6″ count as being in light cover. A few may be transferred from outside organisations, in particular the ranks of the servants of the Inquisition, although this is relatively unusual and only undertaken following lengthy consideration. During the fighting, the Canoness is dealt a mortal wound, but even as her blood pours onto the floor, Praxedes summons the strength to land one final blow, caving in the Hive Tyrant's skull with a thunderous strike from her power mace.

We’ve got Codex Grey Knights and Thousand Sons on the horizon (and the Craftworlders themselves will make an appearance at some point I’m sure) so having a 1/6 chance (1/5 with the appropriate Sacred Rite) of preventing anyPsychic power with all of your Sisters of Battle units will be a great help. Hearing of their ascetic way of life, their utter dedication to the Emperor, and in particular their skills at arms, Vandire decided that he would make a formal visit to the secluded convent of the "Daughters of the Emperor.Our guide will show you just who the Adepta Sororitas are, and what sets them apart in the grim darkness of the far future. A veteran of innumerable wars, she is a common figure on the front line, taking the battle to the foe with fury born of faith itself. The darker side of the Adepta Sororitas is also represented in the form of four Sisters Repentia, each filled with an unquenchable desire for atonement .
