On day two of Warhammer Fest Online, a bunch of new Adepta Sororitas Minis grabbed the spotlight along with their upcoming codex!
It’s time for another big online GW Preview for all things Warhammer! Here are the latest reveals from Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community!
Warhammer Fest: New Adepta Sororitas Minis Revealed
All next week, from Monday to Saturday, we’ll be packing each day with reveals of brand new things coming to Warhammer, as well as hearing from some of the teams behind them. It’ll be just like you’re there in person, watching the panels live.
Each day will be themed around one particular part of the Warhammer hobby, so check the schedule below and find out when your favorite games are coming up. Trust us when we say you’ll want to see everything anyway – there are some spectacular reveals on the way.
You can tune in to Warhammer Community from Monday 3rd May to see all of the reveals as they happen from 6 pm (BST) onwards, or catch them live on Twitch.
We’ve already seen a whole host of new models for the army, but today they revealed even more! From Morvenn Vahl, a High Lord of Terra, to Agathae Dolan to more Sacresant sculpts! If you wanted some more CC power for your Sisters army, well, this release is full of it!
Morvenn Vahl
Upon her recent elevation to Abbess Sanctorum, Morvenn Vahl became the supreme commander of the Adepta Sororitas and guardian of the faith. Yet, unlike many of her predecessors, Morvenn Vahl continues to lead her sisters from the front lines. Clad in Purgator Mirabilis, a Paragon Warsuit of peerless quality, she takes the fight to heretics and the impious wherever they may be found.
This is an interesting mini and will really make a cool centerpiece for your army. While they didn’t give out specific rules for her, they did mention she will have buff powers almost on par with Bobby G and she will have the correct number of wounds so she cannot be targeted.
On top of that, they mentioned she will really pack a punch in CC and take half damage from all weaponry.
Agathae Dolan
You may recognize Aestred Thurga from our most recent Battle Sister Bulletin. As the bearer of the banner known as the Auto-Tapestry of the Emperor’s Judgement, Aestred is held in great reverence by all of the Orders Militant. Adepta Sororitas in her presence all fight harder, inspired by the knowledge that the God-Emperor’s gaze is upon them – and that their deeds in battle will be recorded by the Hagiolater, Agathae Dolan, who accompanies her at all times.
It’s a little unclear if you will always have to take these as a pair, but when they both are on the tabletop, it will really buff your units.
Celestian Sacresants
This elite sisterhood is equipped with blessed, heretic-smiting halberds and maces, and they carry large shields for protection in the crucible of battle. Their ability to perform Heroic Interventions makes the Celestian Sacresants bodyguards without peer, helping you keep your prized Characters alive and your army fighting at optimum efficiency.
We already saw the minis with the halberd, but you can take them with maces and a ton of different weapon options. If you spotted the little bolter popping out from the shield, you were right!
They can take bolters, flamers, plasma, and even melta. These are effectively a bodyguard unit that can be equipped similarly to veterans with a ton of options.
New Codex
The Adepta Sororitas are getting their biggest and best codex ever. A whopping 128 pages that bring their lore right up to date. This sacred tome comes complete with over 35 datasheets and a suite of Crusade rules that breathe life into the Sisters of Battle on the tabletop.
The codex also introduces rules for Hymns of Battle. Inspirational verses sung by the Dogmata that venerate the God-Emperor. And Minoris convictions that give you the option to represent an Order Militant of your own creation on the battlefield.
Well, with so many new minis coming, this was a no-brainer. The book will add some new abilities to the faction, along with a ton of new units. Let’s hope they keep acts of faith and just gain new stuff.
You will now also receive benefits for running full Sisters of Battle armies and they really seem to be pushing them to a more CC-heavy army. But, we’ll have to wait and see some rules to really make that judgment.
Are you excited about the new codex? Do you like the look of the minis revealed?
