Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adepta Sororitas: Celestian Sacresants

Product Information

Note that Miracle dice can also be gained via other rules. No matter the source, you can only gain Miracle dice from such a rule if every unit from your army has the ADEPTA SORORITAS keyword (excluding models with the CULT IMPERIALIS, AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM or UNALIGNED keywords).

As a Celestian, each Sacresant is a highly skilled warrior, able to overcome many times her own number in battle. Sacresants wield a variety of blessed polearms and maces with which to smite the unclean, and bear large, ornate shields to ward off the blows of their enemies. Protected in both body and spirit, Celestian Sacresants are the wall against which waves of heretics will break. Again, she has the option to mow down infantry or hit hard against the bigger stuff. This really gives her a ton of uses and lets her be taken in almost any army. Auras First and probably most importantly if you are a current Sisters player – Embodied Prophecy, Holy Rage, and Deadly Descent have all taken substantial changes, and Storm of Retribution is completely gone. Storm is a one-two punch for Retributors, as we’ll see in the datasheets section, substantially depowering one of the last book’s premier units.Shield of Faith is similar to the old version – a 6+ invulnerable save and a free 1D6 Deny the Witch for each unit – but with one key difference, which is that a roll of a 6 automatically denies the power. This makes it much more powerful, since there’s longer the possibility of a casting roll you simply can’t beat; 16% of the time you will just poof that power away no matter what. This is even more powerful when combined with the new Aegis of the Emperor sacred rite, which changes this to an unmodified 5+. Zealot Each blessing can only be used once per battle, so make sure your Canoness or Palatine of choice is geared up to take the best advantage of it before you get started. Warhammer Community: Take the Fight to the Heretics With the Elite Melee Specialists of the Adepta Sororitas (Posted on 12/04/2021) (Last accessed on 12 April 2021) Sacred Grounds – Shadow Operations: One ADEPTA SORORITAS INFANTRY or CULT IMPERIALIS PRIEST unit can perform the Sacred Grounds action each turn, starting at the end of your Movement phase and finishing at the end of your next Command phase (or the end of the battle), assuming they’re in range of an objective marker you haven’t already consecrated, and there are no enemy units in range. If completed, you score 1pt at the end of the game for an objective wholly within your deployment zone, or 4pts for one outside of your deployment zone. The marker also gains the Inspiring (ADEPTUS MINISTORUM) terrain trait.

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

Warlord Traits

Dogmata, Open the Reliqueries – The Sigil Ecclesiasticus, Litany of Enduring Faith, Catechism of Repugnance – 65 The Castigator differs from its Adeptus Astartes equivalent in that it also sports a third, hull-mounted heavy bolter and either a twin-barreled autocannon or battle cannon as its turret weapon. That’s some serious firepower right there. Heretics – you’ve been warned! The Missionary gets more of a change, because as a Priest his old Aura is gone and replaced with Hymns of Battle, of which he knows one alongside the default War Hymn. While loss of the +1A aura stings, he’s still dirt cheap at 40pts (or 45 with the power maul he can now take) and feels like a very plausible include alongside Vahl if you want to build a Battalion. That’s especially true because, while you probably take a Dialogus or a Dogmata as your primary priest, having a spare War Hymn caster is going to be extremely valuable in a melee-focused list as it lets you use Fiery Conviction to buff up a unit after it jumps out of a transport. Not mandatory, but definitely a model with uses. Troops Battle Sisters A 4+ Invulvnerable and reroll 1s to wounds aura are both fantastic, making this a decent HQ choice. Paragon Warsuits We’re not showing off her stats, but it goes without saying that she starts off as the embodiment of the God-Emperor’s might and only gets deadlier.
