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

Product Information

Rounding out your buff choices, the Hospitaller looks good – they’ve lost the inbuilt ability to resurrect models (moved to a stratagem) but gained an Apothecary-style 6+ feel no pain aura for INFANTRY. That is, obviously, completely wild, and access to this effect changes the maths on an enormous range of units. The Pulpit of Saint Holline’s Basilica substantially different, now Infantry within 6″ count as being in light cover.

That makes it vastly tougher to remove, but the trade off is that the magnitude of buffs it brings has diminished.First up – yes the damage reduction wording on WarCom is the same in the book, no we still don’t think it’s intended, and for the purposes of this review are assuming “to a minimum of 1” is going to be added to the effect post-haste. Now a Miracle dice is gained at the start of each Battle Round and at the end of any Phase in which either an Adepta Sororitas from your army destroys and enemy unit or one of your Adepta Sororitas Character units is destroyed. 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. Probably the most significant place this is going to come into effect now is for Retributors, which no longer ignore the move and shoot penalty with Heavy weapons naturally, but may also come into play for Repentia.

There are a lot of ways to amp up a unit in this book, and a full Sister block is one of the best targets for many of them, plus an exceptional way to use the Defenders of the Faith stratagem.If you like fancy battle standards the Elites slot now has two choices for you – the generic Imagifier and new Named Character duo of Aestred Thurga and Agathae Dolan. That’s obviously instead of a (pricy) fight twice, but lasting till the end of a phase wasn’t really this unit’s speciality. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

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. She keeps her 2+/4++ statline (shared with the Geminae) and now reduces incoming damage by 1 once attacks are landing on her. All Priests know “War Hymn” and in addition to one additional Hymn from the six presented in the Codex. Overall there’s a pretty reasonable set of toys available here, and it’s nice to see some more creative ideas about how to make defensive relics that aren’t just “bearer is -1 to hit. This is a powerful ability to have available, especially since Paragon Warsuits are CORE – a Canoness babysitting a set of these and turning off re-rolls on turn 1 or 2 can potentially keep them alive and firing a turn longer.In terms of what’s here and mostly unchanged, we have Cleansed by Fire (does the same, but no longer Ebon Chalice exclusive), Extremis Trigger Word, Martyr’s Immolation, Moment of Grace (though now 1-2 dice rather than 1-3), Battle Rites, Purity of Faith, Faith and Fury (now only 1CP), Holy Trinity (with new, easier to activate wording), and finally Judgement of the Faithful (now only 1CP, but also now only fall back and shoot – fall back and charge now sits with Holy Rage).

Paragon Warsuits – The Adpeta Sororitas get access to a unit that, as an Adeptus Custodes player, has me drooling. The value of the Miracle dice that you discard determines the range of the Miraculous ability’s Aura effect, from 1″ to 6″ depending on the value.

I feel like there are some good secondary objectives for Adepta Sororitas players to choose from here. 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. The Missionary gets more of a change, because as a Priest his old Aura is gone and replaced with Hymns of Battle, of which he knows one alongside the default War Hymn. A Dogmata may also find some interest in Psalm of Righteous Smiting, buffing her to S6 AP-3 D2 with 4 attacks, 5 if she also casts War Hymn on herself.
