Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Adepta Sororitas Novitiates

Product Information

Enemy operatives within ⬟ suffer 1 mortal wound each time they perform a Psychic Action. This falls into the niche category, and even then it is of questionable use against the few teams that have access to Psychic powers. D Acts of Faith – Effectively a second pool of Command points that may be used on an additional list of abilities in addition to the ploys they have available to them. Of the team specific abilities you can get in Kill Team this is one of the stronger ones. Only one Act of Faith can only be used per activation on an operative, though Faithful Blessing does not obey this rule and can be used alongside another Act of Faith. Command Point Hungry – Even with Acts of Faith the Novitiates have a number of very important ploys that are needed to truly bring out their best, and can easily run dry at key moments if mismanaged. With the armor base coated, it’s time to paint the details. Use smaller brushes to carefully paint the different elements of the model, such as the robes, weapons, and accessories. Here are some suggested paint colors for the details:

Lets you select an objective more than pentagon/6 inches range away from your drop zone. You score a Victory Point at the end of any Turning Point where you control that objective, and an extra point if you control it at the end of the battle. Glory to the MartyrsBlessed Rejuvenation (2 Faith Points) – When an operative is activated they may regain d3 lost wounds. This is a great way to take an operative from wounded to injured, however its random nature risks it being wasted. At the end of the day it is better to spend faith points to guarantee you stop 5 damage from a plasmagun than trying to heal your way out of it later. The team icon, this model doesn’t get an additional APL for the purposes of holding objectives only, but gets a great ability and much better objective holding unique action. The ability, Icon of Purity, means that when a Novitiate model within ⭓ and visible is incapacitated, on a 4+ they can perform a free Shoot action. When the model gets within two inches of the centre of an objective, you can Plant the Icon for 1AP, and it halves the APL of enemy models when judging control of that objective. This makes it a great last activation of the turn to go in and seize an objective from the opposition by halving the APL of the enemy models contesting it. Novitiate Hospitaller Range – Being heavy on pistols also means that the team has a pretty short range. And though you have ways to get around that with ploys, it’ll still cost you. Select an objective marker more than 6” from your drop zone. If you hold it at the end of a turn score 1VP, if you hold it at the end of the battle score 1VP.

The operative would still count as performing the action for all rules purposes. For example, if it performed it during its activation, it would not be able to perform the action again during that activation. There’s also a brand new Battle Report between the Grey Knights and the Aeldari. We already know that the mighty Avatar of Khaine is almost unstoppable. How will the legendary daemonhunters fare against one?Inferno represents setting your enemies on fire. Inferno weapons have Inferno X, X being the number of Inferno tokens a model receives if you scored a critical hit. At the end of the turn, roll a dice for each Inferno token, and for every 4+ you roll, you score a mortal wound. Once this is resolved remove the Inferno tokens. This is a nice little bonus to make flamers nastier and it fits in very nicely with the lore for Sororitas. Novitiates don’t just have Acts of Faith, they get some pretty good ploys as well. Acts of Faith mean that you won’t be spending your CPs on rerolls, and this gives you more CPs to spend on ploys that tend to range from decent to excellent. Strategic Ploys

The Duellist has an autopistol and Duelling Blades. The Duelling Blades are four dice, 2+, 3/4, Lethal 5+ and have Expert Riposte, which is a melee ability that rivals Storm Shields for how good it is. Expert Riposte means if you parry using a critical hit, you still inflict the damage from a critical hit as well as parrying. Despite being only 7 wounds, these operatives can be absolutely deadly when using Acts of Faith to power out crits, making these operatives potential auto-includes. Novitiate CondemnorWhich loadout you choose really depends on how you want to approach the challenge of the relatively low Wounds characterstics of the Novitiates. With all the rerolls you get from Acts of Faith, you have many ways to keep a melee-focused Kill Team alive and effective, and you can even capitalize from your melee Militants getting taken out with the Glorious Martyrdom Tactical Ploy. The second piece here is also a nerf but at the same time, something that’s really just common-sense and needed to be implemented. Modifying dice after a re-roll is just an insane number of chances to get a result you want and it’s not fun for anyone. As we mentioned before, Acts of Faith work off Faith Points, which make them a lot like a second, more restrictive CP pool. You get your own list of effects, and you’ll get three points at the start of each turn with different ways to spend them. Only one Act of Faith can only be used per activation on an operative, though Faithful Blessing does not obey this rule and can be used alongside another Act of Faith.

This means that the Exactor and Penitent are a match made in heaven and should always charge the enemy together. Novitiate Reliquarius (1 allowed per Kill Team)Burning Wrath– This upgrades a Purgatus’s flamer to 3/4 damage and Inferno 2 for the turn. If you can Torrent onto multiple enemies then the additional damage output is worth it, and you’re putting two Inferno counters on each target as well. Novitiates have some rather nice pieces of equipment, as well as the standard grenades. Most of it’s pretty expensive from an EP standpoint. Faith points are a great source of additional plots for Novitiates, and can be used to swing critical combats or defence rolls to either win or keep your models alive. Tac Ops This model acts as your Faith Point battery and mission action button pusher. With an autopistol and blinged-out relic, she has an ability, Relic Seeker, that lets her perform one mission action a turn for free, and a unique action, Raise Relic, which gives you two more Faith points (3 if you are within two inches of an objective). You’ll want her out and on objectives ASAP, generating free Faith points for you.
