Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Adepta Sororitas (En) [Personal Computers]

Product Information

That is, obviously, completely wild, and access to this effect changes the maths on an enormous range of units.

If you play this faction, get this model – pretty much every competitive list we’ve come up with uses her, to the extent that she kind of leaves Canonesses or Palatines looking a bit purposeless unless you want access to Blessings of the Faithful (which to be fair you sometimes will).Defensively, attacks against the unit are now at -1 to hit and wound, which combines with their 4++ to make them a surprising pain to kill. In the shooting phase Stern fires off a Smite type attack, buffed if there are any Chaos units nearby. This appears to be an attempt to support the incredibly awesome Pious Vorne Blackstone Fortress model. You are likely to have fewer Miracle dice than before, but this is definitely helpful for making sure that you’ve got a 6 on hand whenever you need one.

As weapon relics go, this is surprisingly spicy – you might actually do real damage to something that matters.

A Dogmata may also find some interest in Psalm of Righteous Smiting, buffing her to S6 AP-3 D2 with 4 attacks, 5 if she also casts War Hymn on herself. Overall there’s a pretty reasonable set of toys available here, and it’s nice to see some more creative ideas about how to make defensive relics that aren’t just “bearer is -1 to hit. Notably, you now only get an additional Miracle dice from it each Battle Round rather than each turn, and the ability to perform an extra Act of Faith is gone, replaced by the rather less potent ability for the Triumph itself to always count as having all six Sacred Rites active. She’s also surprisingly dangerous at longer ranges, packing an amped up S6 heavy bolter and having what is essentially a twin missile launcher strapped to her shoulders.
