Similarly to other 9th edition factions, Sisters have gained a set of character upgrades which you can purchase with points; in this case, you can take one Blessing of the Faithful for each CANONESS or PALATINE unit in your army (excluding named characters).
Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude can make one nearby Adepta Ministorum Core/Character or Engine of Redeption unit within 6″ immune to the effects of Psychic powers!
If you play with very heavy terrain that might change as you can still get access to Advance/Charge from the new and improved effects of a Repentia Superior (who also gives a mighty +1 to wound), but they have to apply it in the Command Phase so can’t when emerging from a Transport. That sounds cool, but is unfortunately stuck with a CORE limitation, which switches off the ability to use it to protect Rhinos, one of the better uses beforehand. In addition, after failing the first saving throw of a turn you can reduce the damage of that attack to 0!
Most likely this starts showing up if Knights ever start rampaging across the metagame again, as for an army packed with melta weaponry reducing T8 by by one is a big deal. Notably, you now only get an additional Miracle dice from it each Battle Round rather than each turn, and the ability to perform an extra Act of Faith is gone, replaced by the rather less potent ability for the Triumph itself to always count as having all six Sacred Rites active. The Decree Passive lays down some restrictions on the number of Canoness and Missionary models you can include in each Detachment (one each per Detachment) in addition to a limit on the number of Cult Imperial Priest units you can include (no more than the number of Adeptis Sororitas Character units.The value of the Miracle dice that you discard determines the range of the Miraculous ability’s Aura effect, from 1″ to 6″ depending on the value. Importing another neat trick from Skitarii, this unit now goes to 20, and that seems like it’s plausibly quite a big deal. The Shield of Faith boost is gone, and her invuln grant to IMPERIUM units is now INFANTRY only, so if you’re picking her it’s strictly for her killing power. When starting out your Crusade you’ll select an Adepta Sororitas Character to be marked for Sainthood and that Character will gain the Saint Potentia keyword. It makes any specialist unit exceptional at its job, and turns 20-model Sister blobs (we’ll get to that) into fantastic all-purpose killers, lets you use some of the other named characters as deadly precision tools and in the very worst case, if she’s miles from anything, slapping full re-rolls on her missile launcher shots is fine.
Great Deal
