The vast majority of armies are going to want at least one of the options for adding extra dice, as being able to keep the miracles flowing significantly increases the army’s effectiveness on the table. Shield of Faith Dopminica emerged a changed woman. She knew the truth, and how deeply she had erred. As wrathful as she was penitent, she lead her sisters to execute the raving Lord Vandire, who was by now lost utterly to madness.Goge Van Dire’s last words were: “I don’t have time to die, I’m too busy!”

HQ: Canoness, Inferno Pistol (or Plasma Pistol), Blessed Blade, Warlord Trait: Blazing Ire, Relic: Mantle of Ophelia Finesse Required– With fragile units, if you leave your army exposed or send them in at the wrong time or in the wrong place, they will die without having done too much. While this list of weaknesses remains unchanged from 8th, astute readers will note that none of them are nearly as big a problem for the army in 9th – games tend to be close-ranged and brutal, Psykers are currently moderately disincentivised by secondaries, and hordes definitely still exist but are a smaller part of the metagame, so fewer opponents are really gunning for them. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that leaves the Sororitas in an extremely good spot! Competitive Rating Paint the whole thing in Wraithbone (sounds counter-intuitive I know), dab In some thinned pure white so that the recesses are brighter still.First off this sprue seems to show multiple figures (including the penitent engine) all on the same sprue akin to something like the Dark Imperium or Shadowspear starter. It does not appear to be separate multipart component sprues inside the army box (at least for these models). While they do not appear to be the push peg style of ETB miniatures (like Warhammer Underworlds etc), they certainly are not normal multi-part kits. Burn the Heretic (1 CP): The only way in the game to re-roll shots, but limited to flamers. Will bump you from 3.5 to 4.5 shots on average, which is handy but not necessarily the best use of CP. C+ Most of the weird and wonderful units in the book from the wider Ecclesiarchy (except Penitent Engines for some reason) have this ability. It means that in any detachment with a Ministorum Priest (either a Missionary or a Preacher) they don’t take up any detachment slots. If you don’t have a Ministorum priest you can only include one unit with this ability in the detachment and they do take up a slot.

Both of the bonuses of this are pretty sweet! Not having to roll a wound can make your normal bolters get through some seriously tough enemies much easier. On top of that, if you’re in half range, you will get to rapid-fire and have an additional AP. This means your bolters can dish out some serious damage. 40k Sisters of Battle 9th Edition Secondaries This gets quite a bit more useful in 9th than it once was – most of the Ecclesiarchy weirdos are kind of terrible, but Death Cult Assassins are seeing use as random objective/Action dorks, and being able to squeeze them into a patrol without using slots is genuinely helpful in some lists. Sacred Rites The bionic leg had a base of Ironbreaker, followed by Gloss Nuln Oil and highlights with Runefang Steel. Certain areas were spot washed with Seraphim Sepia (bolts and hinges). Finishing TouchesMake sure while it is on the table that it focuses on trying to remove the high armour targets that your other units will sill struggle with. The Seraphim are fast moving. They have fairly weak, short-ranged firepower, but they can move again after they shoot, allowing them to use hit and run tactics or simply grab objectives with bursts of movement.
