Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adepta Sororitas: Celestian Sacresants

Product Information

The Castigator differs from its Adeptus Astartes equivalent in that it also sports a third, hull-mounted heavy bolter and either a twin-barreled autocannon or battle cannon as its turret weapon. That’s some serious firepower right there. Heretics – you’ve been warned!

Warhammer Community: Warhammer Fest Online: Day 2 – Warhammer 40,000 (posted 5/4/2021) (last accessed 5/4/2021) Doubling the model count can really make it hard for the enemy to actually take any objectives from you! Her statline is pretty decent, especially when she sits there with 8 wounds, so she will be very durable but hard to target. Also with base S5 and T5 she will deal some decent damage and be pretty durable. When a Martyred Lady character is destroyed by an enemy unit, you can spend 1CP on Honour the Martyrs and now all of your Martyred Lady units get +1 to wound against that enemy unit. A reasonably substantial buff from the prior book, where this was re-roll 1s to hit – +1 to wound is a much less common effect in this army. Warlord Trait – Shield Bearer A Leap of Faith – No Mercy, No Respite: At the end of each turn, you gain 1 point if you performed 2 or more Acts of Faith, or 2 points if it was your opponent’s turn. You gain an additional point for performing 3 or more. Acts with Cherubs don’t count, and you can score a maximum of 12 points.

To say the Adepta Sororitas are a faithful bunch is selling them rather short, as their sheer fanatical devotion to the Emperor of Mankind is so strong that great miracles spontaneously occur whenever enough Sisters congregate. They must have been praying extra hard lately, as those miracles are becoming even more powerful. Sisters of Battle 9th Edition 40k Release Lineup & Pricing 40k Adepta Sororitas 9th Edition Morvenn Vahl Datasheet Now, the leaders of your armies can take on one of these blessings and bathe the battlefield in divine light. For years, dedicated fans had amassed seriously weighty collections, in the literal sense. The first ray of hope for the faithful came in the form of Celestine, the Living Saint and her Geminae Superia who descended during the Gathering Storm campaign. The Adepta Sororitas are great at spreading their faith in close combat, courtesy of units such as Celestian Sacresants , but they truly excel at medium range, where they can unleash the full power of the bolter, flamer, and meltagun. The Hallowed Martyrs Detachment even offers a Stratagem that lets them fire in your opponent’s Shooting phase.

Most notably, this impacts on storm bolters and all flamers. Every flame weapon in this book is a “Ministorum” flamer, which in practice means +1S – so S4 for hand flamers, S5 for regular, and S6 for heavy. All good stuff, especially on the latter two given the ominous T5 green tide on the horizon. Meanwhile, the storm bolters you buy as unit upgrades ( not the ones attached to vehicles or paragon suits) are now “artificer-crafted storm bolters”, which have D2, which is definitely one way to make them worth 5pts! 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). The stake mode is pretty nifty – it’s S4 AP-1 D2, and if the wound is allocated to a psyker (so after rolling to wound but before making saves) they take an additional d3 mortals. They’re not cheap at 10pts, but it’s nice to see them get broad utility outside their one specific use case, and being really good at that. 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. They exist outside of the control of the regular Imperial military, instead representing Ecclesiarchy as a faith in arms – and faith is the watchword here, because the Sisters really, truly believe, and in Warhammer belief is a very powerful thing. For one CP this is pretty sweet! You basically can guarantee for one dice and one CP, an automatic wound. Perfect if you need that Melta shot to go through! Now here we are in June 2021, and with unprecedented alacrity, we have another Adepta Sororitas codex in front of us, as the Sisters are updated for 9th edition – and get another bunch of new units to boot. Games Workshop have once again been kind enough to provide us with a review copy of the book, and so without further ado we’ll dive right in and take a look at what’s changed.

Castigator Battle Tank

It’s great having mighty leaders like Roboute Guilliman or Abaddon the Despoiler in your army, but these living relics are nothing compared to the blessed remains of a fallen Imperial Saint, carried into battle by the truly faithful. The Triumph of Saint Katherine brings a veritable museum exhibit of holy trinkets to bear upon the battlefield, each with their own effects. Today though, we’re going to focus on what the trio of new units can do. Let’s first take a look at the new stratagems from yesterday, then jump into the rules! Sisters of Battle Stratagems
