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

Product Information

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! 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). It’s not all bad news, as Tale of the Faithful gets a complete overhaul to be much more broad, granting re-rolls on Advance and Charge rolls (also locked to CORE), distinctly more useful than it once was. These vary from destroying enemy models, passing invulnerable saves, using certain Stratagems or even collecting Battle Scars. Of the absolutely new stratagems, Defenders of the Faith seems like a clear high point – one of the weaknesses of Sisters is their low Toughness, and being able to negate that is helpful for keeping them on the table.

Stat-wise the news is good – they’re pretty much unchanged, and go down by a couple of points each to boot. As a general note before we jump into units, there are a few consistent equipment changes across this book.First and probably most importantly if you are a current Sisters player – Embodied Prophecy, Holy Rage, and Deadly Descent have all taken substantial changes, and Storm of Retribution is completely gone.

Back in November 2019 the long awaited Codex Adepta Sororitas was finally released (alongside a fantastic new miniature range) for 8th edition Warhammer 40,000.She keeps her once per game revival on a 2+, and now has a new trick – she can perform the Healing Tears action, spanning from your Command Phase to the end of the Shooting Phase (which means she can still charge after) and both healing herself to full and reviving a dead Geminae on completion. It’s also worth noting that A Sacred Burden allows you to spend 1CP to give a Superior model any of the Blessings of Sebastian Thor, The Ecclesiarch’s Fury, Litanies of Faith, or Redemption, which opens up some possibilities, particularly if you’re otherwise running named character-heavy – as is very possibly the case.

Rather than a chance of a mortal wound when your opponent kills a model, you instead get to straight up fight on death if you haven’t swung yet, making removing this unit with a charge a terminal prospect for all but the most durable of enemies. The other change is that the condemnor boltgun is now a combi-weapon, with a normal boltgun mode and a stake launcher (plus the ability to fire both at -1 to hit).It’s also unusual to be able to shuffle something this tricky to kill into combat completely fresh, which might change the maths on things.
