About this deal

At 55pts, that sounds pretty decent, but unfortunately the FAQ about Foritification deployment kind of dealt this the kiss of death. It’s a fairly massive piece of terrain, and you have to deploy it >3″ away from any other terrain features (other than hills). On the smaller, denser tables that 9th encourages, this means you’re at real risk of not being able to deploy it at all in a lot of games, and won’t be able to put it anywhere useful in many others.

Test of Faith (1 CP): When generating a miracle die by either rolling a natural 1 for morale or denying a psychic power, generate an additional d3 miracle dice. Better than the above, and will often be worth it when it comes up, but one in three times you’re still trading one for one. B The only note of caution to sound with Repentia is that while they’re absurdly deadly when they swing, almost anything can kill them trivially, being as they are T3 with a bad save (and often operating outside the range of your Shield of Faith boosts). As well as meaning you should only commit them when you’re confident of getting them into melee, you should avoid charging two units into crunchy targets at the same time, because an opponent interrupting (especially with pretty much any flavour of Marines) is going to take a big chunk out of the second squad, massively reducing how deadly they are. Spread them out, one turn at a time.Pricing is an issue. At first I thought, well, that's 25 EUR for the statue and 60 EUR for the building itself. That is not cheap, but okay-ish. But when I compared the price with the Basilicanum, which is 5 EUR cheaper, covers statues as well and even more sprues, it is a bit odd and feels out of place. For my taste, a 65 EUR price tag would have been a better choice, as from the value it is closer to the Sector Imperialis Sanctum. I guess if you combined the Battle Sanctum and the Imperialis Sanctum, that would make for a very impressive ruin of a church, with the side stanchions and all. There are lights and ruined pillar tops that are added to the outer pieces. This was the only step, that I had problems so far, as the hanging light on the right corner of the balcony, didn't want to fit the groove-and-tongue connection. We knew there would be new kits for all the units that came in the Army box. Here is the latest new Infantry model reveals: Celestine’s buff powers make her a staple in near-every competitive Sisters list, and you should pretty much always plan to find the points for her. Triumph of Saint Katherine This ability is common to various Ministorum and Sororitas melee units, and is extremely useful on Repentia in particular, helping them do appalling damage on the charge. This ability is what makes most of the units with it good, and is overall a very powerful one.

Book of St Lucius: Add 3” to the aura abilities of a model with this relic. 9th heavily incentivising the mid-table throwdown has really brought this into its own, and combining this with Indomitable Belief for a wide ranging boost to Shield of Faith is something you see in most lists. Putting that combo on an Imagifier with Venerated Saint for even more aura goodness is a particularly common sight. A Mortifiers fill a strong flex role, able to join the push, go into Strategic Reserves or sit on home objectives as needed. Sisters of Battle received the last “full” codex released for 8th, a strong, well-designed book building on the lessons learnt by the developers throughout the edition, and players saw decent success with armies build around their powerful melee units and characters. 9th Edition, however, is where the Adepta Sororitas have really come into their own. The melee and board control elements are well-suited to playing the GT2020 missions, and the wargear updates that accompanied the release of the Space Marine codex have given many of the army’s ranged units a massive power boost. That has put the Sisters in the enviable position of being one of the game’s current armies to beat, taking a Tier 1 slot in our most recent tier list update at the time of writing and with multiple builds proving themselves worthy of taking podium spots at events. Whether you’re a long-term, dedicated fan of the faction or want a brand new army to flex your competitive muscles, there’s never been a better time to try out the Adepta Sororitas on the tournament scene, so if that’s got you fired up, read on!

Holy Rage (1 CP): In your Charge phase, any single ADEPTA SORORITAS unit that advanced can charge. Great with Celestine, Repentia, Zephyrim and Mortifiers, but it’s a little sad that you can’t use this on Penitent Engines or Arco-Flagellants. Still, especially because you can also max-out advances and charges with Miracle dice in a pinch, this is great. A Furious Recital (1 CP): When you choose an Exorcist to shoot with, enemy units within 12” suffer -1 Ld, with Chaos units suffering -2 Ld. She’s just that good at the pipe organ. Sadly given your Exorcists should never, ever be within 12” of enemy units this really won’t come up, and leadership shenanigans are only the tiniest bit more whelming in 9th than they used to be.. D The big reason for that is the Exceptional Proficiency stratagem, letting these access full hit and wound re-rolls when either shooting or fighting. In the shooting phase, that means if you dump a couple of melta weapons into the squad they’ll do some real damage, while in the fight phase if you get them into the relevant buff auras they become surprisingly lethal volume killers, especially if you find the points for a power sword on the superior. “Betters Sisters that will lamp you in melee” is a pretty decent slot to fill, and while they aren’t a mandatory unit they’ve got some real strengths to recommend them in this edition. Hospitaller

You can’t really talk about Repentia without also talking about the Repentia Superior. While not part of the unit, this character is made just to support Repentia and doesn’t take up any slots. While she doesn’t do much on her own, she does buff Repentia and you won’t find them far apart. With her around, one of your units of Repentia can advance and charge, and are better at charging. This makes the unit a lot faster. In addition, all your nearby Repentia get +1 to wound. Canoness [3 PL, 50pts]: Bolt pistol, Chainsword, Frag & Krak grenades, Relic: Beneficence, Warlord, Warlord Trait: 2. Righteous Rage And now all pieces combined, including the statue. What an impressive sight. Celestine is around 20 cm high, the sanctum itself lands at around 30 cm. Combine the two and you are at almost half a meter of terrain. Example 1: Instead of rolling one D6 to see what value is added to a unit’s Move characteristic when that unit Advances, you could use a dice from your Miracle dice pool. If the value of that dice was 5, you would add 5" to the Move characteristic of every model in that unit for that Movement phase. Looks like the codex in the Army Box was the collector’s edition- bonus! Sisters Wave 1 Release: Dice & Datacards

Sisters of Battle Battle Sanctum

Exceptional Proficiency (2 CP): Gives Celestians re-roll all hits and wounds when they shoot, fight or overwatch. Celestians are huge winners from almost every aspect of the changes from 8th to 9th, and this lets a big squad of them throw some serious pain down. B+ Sisters have had so much love put into them, each model looks like it could be a character in their own right. The left wing of the second floor is added, being build from a long and a ruined wall piece. Creating a smaller open c-shape. Censer of the Sacred Rose – Gives you 1 miracle dice at the start of each turn (yours and your opponent’s).
