Sisters of Battle - Embracing Fire & Faith

The Adepta Sororitas, fueled by unyielding faith in theif God-Emperor, stand as formidable defenders of the Imperium. Clad in exceptional armor and armed with the sacred trinity of weapons, these devout warriors wield fire and faith to perform literal miracles on the battlefield.


The Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas possess a diverse array of weapons to spread faith throughout the galaxy - the holy trinity of Bolger, Melta and Flamer are the most favored of the faithful!


There’s a wide array of units you can field - from the battle-tested Battle Sisters squads to the mighty Paragon Warsuits, the Adepta Sororitas have reinforcements like the Novitiates, Mortifiers, and the formidable Castigator. These forces, united by unwavering devotion, strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.



Blessed by the God-Emperor, the warriors of the Adepta Sororitas possess the ability to perform Acts of Faith. This allows them to demonstrate their fortitude and divine strength on the battlefield. Each unit can execute one Act per phase, but to do so, Miracle dice must be earned. This occurs at the start of each turn and whenever an Adeptus Sororitas unit is destroyed.


With these Miracle dice at their disposal, the Adepta Sororitas can turn improbable rolls into surefire successes, guided by the unyielding faith that drives them forward.


The Hallowed Martyrs Detachment adds fervor and formidable strength to the Adepta Sororitas' combat prowess. As casualties mount within the ranks, The Blood of Martyrs propels the surviving units into a fanatical frenzy, strengthening their resolve and determination to triumph in the Emperor's name.


If a unit is below its starting strength you add 1 to the Hit rolls when making attacks. If the unit is belwo half its starting strength then the unit gains plus 1 to wound rolls. They certainly have an opportunity to unleash some righteous zeal upon their enemies with this detachment rule.

 

Their unwavering zeal, is key to the Adepta Sororitas bringing the God-Emperor's light to the darkest corners of the galaxy, repelling aliens, traitors, witches, and all who dare to oppose them.

 

Among the ranks of the Adepta Sororitas, the Triumph of Saint Katherine stands as a revered relic. Carrying the blessed remains of a fallen Imperial Saint, this awe-inspiring presence brings a multitude of holy artifacts to the battlefield, each possessing unique effects. Whether it's the Censer of the Sacred Rose to bolster Battle Sisters' resilience, the Icon of the Valorous Heart to enhance survivability, or The Fiery Heart to invoke potent Miracle dice upon martyrdom, the path of martyrdom is embraced to achieve divine efficiency.


The Battle Sisters, the stalwart backbone of the Adepta Sororitas army, offer not only the ability to generate Miracle dice when stationed on objectives but also possess abilities that optimize the use of Miracle dice and Acts of Faith. By utilizing Acts of Faith to dislodge foes from objectives, the Battle Sisters gain Miracle dice from the accompanying Simulacrum Imperialis, showcasing the divine efficiency of their tactics.

The Adepta Sororitas are well-equipped with their favored handheld firearms, but there are occasions when spreading the God-Emperor's righteous word requires more than that. Imagine combining deadly firepower with a church organ on the battlefield.


Thanks to the Exorcist, this unique weapon allows you to rain down destruction while providing a rousing sing-song in the name of the Golden Throne.


If you anticipate swarms of alien creatures, the Exorcist conflagration rockets are your weapon of choice, capable of thinning out their numbers.


Alternatively, if enemy armor is your concern, load up the Exorcist missile launcher to punch through their plating.


With the Indirect Fire ability, your foes will have nowhere to hide from fiery judgment or the occasional off-tune karaoke session.


And what if a large horde of enemy warriors dares to approach too close to your giant mobile Wurlitzer Organ?


Fear not, for you can unleash the power of a High Lord of Terra through Morvenn Vahl and her lance of illumination.



With profiles tailored to taking on both hordes and elite adversaries, it's safe to say your foes will catch a fleeting glimpse of the light before meeting their demise.


While the Adepta Sororitas excel at spreading their faith in close combat, units like Celestian Sacresants truly shine at medium range, where they can unleash the full might of their bolters, flamers, and meltaguns. Furthermore, the Hallowed Martyrs Detachment offers a powerful Stratagem that allows them to fire during your opponent's Shooting phase.


Rejoice the Fallen works exceptionally well with standard Battle Sisters, but if you truly wish to punish your foe for their blasphemy, employ it on a Retributor Squad. Watch as they reply to their adversaries' actions with a relentless barrage of heavy weapons. Remember, with every fallen warrior, you draw closer to reaping the benefits of The Blood of Martyrs...


The Adepta Sororitas bring an array of powerful units to the tabletop, from Battle Sisters and Paragon Warsuits to Mortifiers and Castigators.


Their Faction Rules, centered around Acts of Faith and Miracle dice, Acts of Faith rule, enabling them to manipulate dice rolls precisely when they need them most. This gives a tactical flexibility and moments of divine intervention that can turn the tide of battle in their favor - they can literally snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
