The new 10th Edition 40k Adepta Sororitas rules come from Warhammer Community.
The benediction of the God-Emperor shines down upon those warriors that fight in His name. On the tabletop, His power is revealed in miraculous deeds of fortitude and divine strength, known as Acts of Faith. Each unit can perform one Act per phase – but first, your army will have to earn Miracle dice.
It looks like Miracle Dice are going to stick around in 10th. Sisters players will get one every turn and then whenever their own units are destroyed, but we expect there to be plenty of rules to gain more dice.
With the right Miracle dice in reserve, even the most unlikely roll can become a surefire thing. Is it really an Act of Faith if, by definition, you know exactly what the result will be? The Sororitas certainly think so, and they have very big guns, so that’s good enough for us.
You can use them for a lot of things, but now, you basically want to roll high for everything (including LD now), so the rolls of 1 may have less of a place in 10th Edition than before…
All your warriors are happy to die for the Emperor – and if not, some psycho-stimulants and invasive conditioning will surely change their minds – but those of the Hallowed Martyrs Detachment are particularly overjoyed to join the Golden Throne. As each squad takes casualties, The Blood of Martyrs sends them into a fervent frenzy.
This really makes your units way stronger after losing a few models, so get stuck in the fighting!
New 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Sisters of Battle Datasheets
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!
While this has a lot of wounds and a 4+ invulnerable save, with Toughness 3, this is going to be wounded on a 2+ by almost every single heavy weapon. However, being able to pick two of the auras makes this super useful, whether you go with more combat effectiveness, durability, or Acts of Faith buffs!
Only time (and its points cost) will tell how many of these models we see on the field.
Obviously you can park these Defenders of the Faith on an objective to gain a Miracle dice every round, but it gets better. Use an Act of Faith to help blast your foes off it and you’ll gain a Miracle dice from your creepy little Cherub, plus one for destroying an enemy unit with a Simulacrum Imperialis in tow.
As we thought, there are going to be a lot of ways to gain Miracle Dice, and this unit alone can theoretically gain you 3+ dice. So, if you have two of these parked on objectives, and each destroys a unit, that’s four extra dice.
They also have a ton of weapon options and get a 6+ invulnerable save.
New Weapon Rules
If you’re expecting swarms of alien creatures, Exorcist conflagration rockets will help thin out their numbers – or if you’re concerned by enemy armour, load up with the Exorcist missile launcher to punch through plating. Either way, your foes can’t hide from fiery judgement or off-tune karaoke – the Indirect Fire ability makes certain of that.
With Indirect Fire, you can now target units you cannot see, but you are at -1 to hit, and they get cover. Both modes of fire are decent, and you can either destroy a ton of infantry or go after bigger targets.
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.
The Strike attack will be good for taking out heavy infantry, but with only Strength 8, it might struggle with tanks; however, the sweep attack is great against lighter infantry 100%!
New Sisters of Battle Warhammer 40k Stratagems
Rejoice the Fallen works great for standard Battle Sisters, but if you really want to punish your foe for their blasphemy, use it on a Retributor Squad to reply by unleashing a barrage of heavy weapons. Remember, every slain warrior brings you closer to benefiting from The Blood of Martyrs…
This is a good stratagem to see sticking around, as sometimes you can get lucky and only lose a model or two, then get to fire back with the rest of the unit.
Adetpa Sororitas Points
They got a few points changes in the first set of changes, but nothing too crazy. Then, with the recent points changes, they are actually at the top of the meta right now!
Watch the video below for some more insights into the faction.
Is It Still Worth Playing Adepta Sororitas?
Of course, they are! They are right in the middle in terms of win rate, meaning you can play fun games or tournaments with them and have some really good games. They have a lot of little intricacies with Miracle dice and rules, so they are a fun faction to learn with plenty to sink your teeth into.
Updates, in general, for any game are just good business. That being said, it also seems like in 2023-2024, GW will have its hands full trying actually to get out all these codexes.
However, Sisters aren’t even on the list, meaning you will have to use the index for a while. Which gives you plenty of time to learn the faction before the codex drops.
