Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adepta Sororitas: Paragon Warsuit

Product Information

Righteous Impact replicates Hammer of Wrath, with Paragon Warsuits or ENGINE OF REDEMPTION units being able to roll 1d6 for each model in their unit when they reach Engagement Range and do a mortal wound for each roll that exceeds the target unit’s Toughness, while Thrice-Blessed Hull works on any HALLOWED unit (i.e. the tanks, including the humble Rhino) and makes it so that any psyker within 12” automatically takes Perils for any failed Psychic test. 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. That leaves us with the Chaplet of Sacrifice– allowing a free Epic Deed, re-rolls to hit for the bearer, and the ability to shoot or fight on death – and the PRIEST-only Sigil Ecclesiasticus, or “pay 1CP to make your Hymn-bot twice as good” as it lets the bearer know +1 and intone +1. 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.

You will now also receive benefits for running full Sisters of Battle armies and they really seem to be pushing them to a more CC-heavy army. But, we’ll have to wait and see some rules to really make that judgment. New Triumph of Saint Katherine Sisters 40k Rules A reasonably strong trait, Shield Bearer reduces Damage taken by the Warlord by 1 (uncontroversially it specifies a minimum of 1 – more on this in Units later), and also makes the Miracle dice an automatic 6 if you either gain one for Vengeance when the warlord kills something, for Sacrifice in general or a the end of any phase in which the Warlord was destroyed. Relic – Martyr’s Vengeance Doubling the model count can really make it hard for the enemy to actually take any objectives from you!

The Canoness and Palatine remain much the same, and with the advent of Morvenn Vahl your reasons for taking them are likely going to be either:

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

Fast Attack

Warhammer Community: Warhammer Fest Online: Day 2 – Warhammer 40,000 (posted 5/4/2021) (last accessed on 5/4/2021) A potentially excellent stratagem, adding +4” range to flame weapons in a unit and allowing them to cause a mortal wound on a 4+ to wound (up to a maximum of 3). 1CP for 3 mortal wounds is a reasonably good trade, and it’s trivial to put this on a unit of Seraphim with hand flamers where it’s almost guaranteed to go off. Warlord Trait – Terrible Knowledge This army is designed to play the gameplan outlined in the “how they’ll play” section, with an extremely solid core designed to roll forward and overwhelm the enemy, with the threat of a reserved Repentia unit hanging over the heads of anyone who wants to try getting clever. You start the big Sacresant unit in one Rhino and one each of the smaller units and Dominions in the other two, letting you push the Rhinos up a little out the gate and threaten a counter-charge into any enemy that tries to claim the mid-board right away.
