And there’s a lot of units to choose from. Alongside the faction’s codex, GW also released the long-teased Paragon Warsuits, Celestian Sacresants (as shown on the codex’s front cover), and Dogmata, as well as faction-specific Battle dice and datacards.

They are the orphans of those Imperial servants who have given their lives in the service of the Imperium, either in the Astra Militarum or some other Imperial Adepta. A bounty of Stratagems, Relics, and Warlord Traits featuring updated favourites and brand new options for your army on the tabletop Seraphim Hand Flamer - Designed for use in pairs, Seraphim Hand Flamers can spew forth gouts of fl ame from both pistols at once. In addition the hand flamers are designed to be used in melee combat and can release small controlled bursts of flame that use negligible amounts of Promethium. The weapon can be used both as a ranged weapon and a melee weapon by those who are properly trained. With Van Dire’s death the Age of Apostasy came to an end.The Imperial Senate passed the Decree Passive,which prevented theEcclesiarchy from fielding men under arms. Carefully following the very letter of the law, the Ecclesiarchy became the patrons of theall-female Brides of the Emperor as their military wing, renaming them once again into the Adepta Sororitas.No world was untouched by the anarchy, as whole populations rose up in increasingly bizarre and extravagant acts of penance and self-flagellation. Anyone who dared attempt to reason with such doomsayers were declared Heretics, and world after world tore themselves apart in an orgy of bloodletting and violent penance. The Deathwatch supplementincludes – you’ve guessed it –army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the elite Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, a.k.a. the silver-shouldered badasses of the Deathwatch.

The sisters became Vandire's personal bodyguard, and their skill at arms was enhanced by training in the finest weapons and armour the High Lord could provide. The Brides of the Emperor would stand at Vandire's side wherever he went, and they were both his bodyguards and his executioners. Word of their dedication spread across the worlds of the Imperium, and none who entered the High Lord's presence would so much as look at him askance under the silent, watchful gaze of the Brides of the Emperor. The codex includes full rules for all the new Sisters of Battle units, as well as updates for its existing range of models and wargear. There’s an extended Crusade rules section, plenty of point tweaks, and new rules for using prayers and hymns. The whole book is designed to provide much wider strategic variety among Adepta Sororitas armies, which has been found wanting in recent years.

The Space Marines, believing Vandire to be only protected by legions of zealous but ineffective Frateris Templar troops, launched one of their trademark lightning Drop Pod assaults. However, once on the ground, the Astartes found to their dismay that they had grossly underestimated the opposition. Facing them were a corps of superbly trained warrior women, clad in Power Armour and wielding Bolters, who fought with a passion remarkable even to their Astartes opponents and stood their ground to the last woman, fearless and fanatical in the belief that they were protecting the Emperor Himself. These new rules will allow commanders who are able to walk the razor’s edge of sacrifice and slaughter to reap bloody benefits and bring a smile to the face of even the sternest Canoness . Surviving is a skill that can be learned like any other, and Canoness Veridyan has taken that skill to its extreme. A veteran of innumerable wars, she is a common figure on the front line, taking the battle to the foe with fury born of faith itself. Its dark and brooding cover was shown off on May 4, and a plethora of Chaos announcements came hot on its heels. During Warhammer Fest 2022 (May 4 – May 7), we saw a whole new range of horrible (lovely) Chaos Space Marine models.Each Blessing of the Faithful has two associated abilities. The first is an ability that the model with this Blessing of the Faithful gains. The second is a Miraculous ability (see below). Verse of Holy Piety allows one nearby Adepta Sororitas Core/Character unit within 6″ to benefit from the effects of a different Sacred Rite in addition to the Sacred Rite chosen at the start of the battle. On a planet named San Leor, Van Dire encountered a cult of women devoted to the worship of the Emperor, called the Daughters of the Emperor. Sensing an opportunity, he showed them a ‘miracle’ by deflecting a las-blast with his forcefield generator.The cult, whichVandirerenamedthe Brides of the Emperor, became his bodyguards and most trusted warriors. 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.

Never again would the Ecclesiarchy threaten the continued rule of the Administratum. The Brides, after resuming their original title of Daughters of the Emperor, were at a loss as to what their purpose should be after this event, and so the Ecclesiarchy took the opportunity to recruit and indoctrinate them into the ranks of the Minostorum's military forces. Due to their all-female membership, the Daughters of the Emperor did not technically break the ban and thus, the Ecclesiarchy was able to circumvent the Decree Passive's strictures, even if the spirit of Thor's decree was rather blatantly disregarded. The Sisters of Battle believe their faith to be a weapon stronger than any steel, and those who witness their battlefield miracles are left in no doubt that the spirit of the Emperor indeed walks with these pious warriors. The 9th Edition DeathwatchCodex Supplement was released, along with the Space Wolves, onOctober 31, 2020. The Adepta Sororitas 10th edition rules are available in the free Index from Games Workshop. The armyis focused on short-range firepower, particularly flamer and melta weapons, plus brittle but powerful combat units.Litany of Enduring Faith improves the invulnerable saves of one nearby Adepta Sororitas Core/Character unit within 6″. During the long, civil struggle of the Reign of Blood, an Adeptus Custodes delegation approached Vandire’s chabers. They were confronted by the Brides of the Emperor,lead by their foremost sister, Alicia Dominica.The Custodian leader, Longinus of the Companions, entreated with Dominica, eventually escorting her into the holy presence of the Emperor himself. Blessed Standard - The standards of the Adepta Sororitas are thrice blessed by the prioress of their convent before they march to war.

They have a strong move, decent Strength, save, and Toughness. With only 4 wounds a pop, the damage reduction is really nice, hopefully with the 2+ save they will be able to survive some shooting. Overall, not a bad statline. An orator of supreme skill, Sebastian Thor swayed whole worlds to his cause and turned the tide against Vandire. As Thor's crusade smashed aside those who remained loyal to the Ecclesiarch, the Space Marines and the Adeptus Mechanicus, both of whom had remained largely on the defensive during the Age of Apostasy, were finally able to join forces with Thor and close on Terra. Once per battle round you can change the value of a Miracle dice used for an Act of Faith to a 6 for a nearby Core or Character unit. Through political manoeuvring (and quite a few assassinations), Vandire positioned himself to rise to the head of the Ecclesiarchy as well, becoming High Lord of two of the most powerful branches of the Imperial government at once.The Penitent Engine, Repentia, and Flagellants are alldeadly but extremely fragile melee combatants. There’s nothing stopping you popping the Repentia and Flagellants into the Rhino for some extra protection, but remember they won’t be able to charge if they disembark from the transport after it has moved.
