Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Combat Patrol: Adepta Sororitas

Product Information

Airbrush from almost directly above with Vallejo Metal Color 77.701 Aluminum. Running through all three of these silvers gave me a great transition from darker metals in the shadows to brighter silvers on top, cutting down on the steps I’d need to do later. It’s great having mighty leaders like Roboute Guilliman or Abaddon the Despoiler in your army, but these living relics are nothing compared to the blessed remains of a fallen Imperial Saint, carried into battle by the truly faithful. The Triumph of Saint Katherine brings a veritable museum exhibit of holy trinkets to bear upon the battlefield, each with their own effects.

As far as assembly goes, this kit is pretty straightforward. There is one small error on the sprues to look out for though, where two parts share the same number. This box also doesn’t have a lot of customization options other than head swaps. There are plenty more Sisters of Battle Characters following the expansion of the Adepta Sororitasrange during 9th Edition. Here’s some of the characters you might come across when looking into a Sisters of Battle army:Gav Thorpe takes up the baton to bring you one of the most explosive stages of Horus’ invasion as the Traitor forces gather to launch their assault upon the indomitable outer walls of the Emperor’s palace. Primarchs, god-engines, apocalyptic war machines, and more face off against one another in a battle that will echo through the ages. Following Dave and I reviewing the Sisters of Battle Codex on our YouTube channel earlier this year, I decided that with the release of the Sisters Combat Patrol box, I thought it may be an idea to go through whats in the box and then select some units to expand the force to 1,000 points. What if a bunch of enemy warriors try to get up close and personal with your giant keytar? Well, you can unleash the power of a High Lord of Terra with Morvenn Vahl and her lance of illumination .

While nobody really cares if your models aren’t the right color for the faction you’re playing (as long as it’s clear which are which if you decide to mix them), it can help you decide what to buy to have an idea what subfaction you’d like to play as. This works great for all of the units in your army, from infantry to tanks – but just imagine how hard Saint Celestine will hit once a foolish enemy takes out her two Geminae Superia.** Unit SpotlightBrutal Linebreakers– Sisters have a few units that hit hard in close combat. If you can deliver these to the right spot in the enemy lines and capitalize on the disruption they cause you will be well on your way to winning a game. The Adepta Sororitas are holy warriors who use their wellspring of faith to perform miraculous feats on the battlefield,” explains Robin. “This is represented by Acts of Faith, a rule to manipulate dice rolls just when you need them the most, and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. As with the similar sets we’ve seen for other factions, Combat Patrol: Adepta Sororitas is an excellent option for both new and existing collections alike. With 26 miniatures, including a Canoness , Rhino , Penitent Engine , three Arco-flagellants , four Sisters Repentia, a Repentia Superior, five Seraphim , and 10 Battle Sisters , you’ll have plenty of units to start or boost your force. Overall, unless you need these models because you missed out on that box release, it’s not worth buying this box as the value is far lower than the cost of this box on the secondary market.

Choose Censer of the Sacred Rose to keep your Battle Sisters steady under the heaviest fire, and combine it with Icon of the Valorous Heart to help them stay alive… or The Fiery Heart to get a juicy 6 on your Miracle dice when they finally do die. Such is the path of martyrdom!To build this list you will need the Combat Patrol box, a Palatine, one Battle Sister Squad, 2 boxes of Celestian Sacrestants, and one Repentia Squad. The Thousand Sons one is pretty similar to the Hexfire box, so if you grabbed that one this might still have some value for you. It is a little strange just because it has so many Tzaangors and it’s basically the same as the Hexfire box but with 10 more Tzaangors added in. Once you’ve rolled your Miracle dice and built up a nice pool, it’s time to perform some Acts of Faith. Unfortunately for them, she turned out to be a doughty warrior full of fire, and with a will they could not suborn. Vahl holds the rank of High Lord of Terra, yet she is a fighter who leads from the front line, wearing an ancient Purgator Mirabilis warsuit and wielding a deadly, ancient power spear gifted to her by the Adeptus Custodes. The Adepta Sororitas are great at spreading their faith in close combat, courtesy of units such as Celestian Sacresants , but they truly excel at medium range, where they can unleash the full power of the bolter, flamer, and meltagun. The Hallowed Martyrs Detachment even offers a Stratagem that lets them fire in your opponent’s Shooting phase.
