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

Product Information

Blessings of Sebastian Thor allows the bearer to benefit from two different Sacred Rites than the rest of your army. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Spirit of the Martyr now inflicts up to 6 mortal wounds on an enemy unit when your models are destroyed. Sacred Grounds is potentially strong, with a number of the maps in the GT pack opening up some high scoring potential thanks to their layouts (particularly worth a look on the Scouring and Vital Intelligence, with 5 objectives outside your deployment zone, though also it’s worth noting that in Scorched Earth there are 6 objectives and none are “wholly” in your deployment zone, instead straddling the line).

The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults. 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.

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. A cheap character with access to the Blessings of the Faithful will be a useful addition in most lists I think. She’s probably the standout but is also the most expensive, and one of the low-key best design achievements in this book is that you can genuinely imagine taking any of these three units in the right list – no mean feat for direct competitors in the same slot.

A really strong trait – possibly the most powerful of the six on offer – which gives you a lot of flexibility for a mobile shooting army. These simply set out some basics for army construction; the Decree Passive restricts you to one CANONESS and one MISSIONARY per Detachment, and stops you having more CULT IMPERIALIS PRIEST than ADEPTA SORORITAS CHARACTERS in a single detachment.No longer buffs the invulnerable saves of nearby Sisters of Battle (instead grants Imperium infantry a 6+ invulnerable save).

The “Terrible Knowledge” Warlord Trait has changed too, granting a 5+ refund CP ability and turning the Miracle dice you gain at the start of the battle straight to a 6!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.

You have a mighty three Priest options in the Elites slot – two re-badged existing models (the Preacher and Dialogus) and the new Dogmata. 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 didn’t get much better from there, with a long drought punctuated by White Dwarf and digital-only rules, and absolutely no changes to their model range even as other armies neared the 100% plastic mark. However, if your opponent holds it at the end of the battle, you lose 3 of the points you scored on this objective (to a minimum of zero – so if you didn’t score anything, you can’t go negative). 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.

Once you hit ten models it’s either one special and one heavy or two specials, and if you take 20 models that doubles up. Besides those this is a fairly thin section of the rules though – Beacon of Faith takes a massive nerf, generating one Miracle dice which can only be used by your Warlord and which also disappears if not used, while Executioner of Heretics is still worthless. This section lays out all the rules for creating an Adepta Sororitas detachment, which unlocks the various rules in this section.
