Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Adepta Sororitas: Paragon Warsuit

Product Information

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. We will, however, reveal a few tidbits of new rules content to whet your appetite. First up, there are some more Armies of Renown to cater for the new arrivals to War Zone Charadon, including the Disciples of Be’lakor, which comprises both Daemons and mortals. If you love everything Chaos and want a legion led by a big, awesome Character, you might just have found your next army.

AshC has used them to decent effect both online on TTS and in IRL play, but has definitely created a list that stresses the opponents ability to destroy hard to kill targets with a mass of Warsuits and Mortifiers.Blessings of the Faithful and Hymns of Battle: Two new categories of rules for the Sisters, adding an extra dimension to their gameplay and giving minor characters a bit more to do than just hang around hoping for their situational abilities to pay off. If you’ve played against a reroll to hit and wound, you know how strong that really is! The second buff is cool because you only have to start that unit within the 6″ in the command phase. So you can start a unit close and then move away and still get the buffs. Agathae Dolan With at least one extra barrel option we think was called the Castigaor Autocannon. We can definitely expect the guns to act differently. Perhaps a trade-off of less power for more shots or even range? Adepta Sororitas Dogmata The Blessings of Sebastian Thor grant 2 sacred rites to the bearer’s unit instead of 1, while the Simulacrum Sanctorum imitates the Venerated Saint stratagem from the previous codex. That leaves us with the Chaplet of Sacrifice– allowing a free Epic Deed, re-rolls to hit for the bearer, and the ability to shoot or fight on death – and the PRIEST-only Sigil Ecclesiasticus, or “pay 1CP to make your Hymn-bot twice as good” as it lets the bearer know +1 and intone +1.

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. Statline & Warsuit The Adepta Sororitas are a uniquely placed faction in Warhammer 40,000 – they remain regular humans, but are equipped with power armour and boltguns like the posthuman Space Marines. They exist outside of the control of the regular Imperial military, instead representing Ecclesiarchy as a faith in arms – and faith is the watchword here, because the Sisters really, truly believe, and in Warhammer belief is a very powerful thing. She’s probably the standout but is also the most expensive, and one of the low-key best design achievements in this book is that you can genuinely imagine taking any of these three units in the right list – no mean feat for direct competitors in the same slot. Balms and Banners This being both a damage buff and a durability buff really makes this powerful. Not only will you be getting double shots at full range, but you will also be getting super tough.

Warlord Traits

Overall there’s a pretty reasonable set of toys available here, and it’s nice to see some more creative ideas about how to make defensive relics that aren’t just “bearer is -1 to hit.” The Sigil probably stands out as the best single item, just to give you more flexibility with Hymns, but there’s interesting possibilities with Ecclesiarch’s Fury too. It’s also worth noting that A Sacred Burden allows you to spend 1CP to give a Superior model any of the Blessings of Sebastian Thor, The Ecclesiarch’s Fury, Litanies of Faith, or Redemption, which opens up some possibilities, particularly if you’re otherwise running named character-heavy – as is very possibly the case. Blessings of the Faithful Hi Kevin, while you have covered Drukhari and Raiders in particular repeatedly recently, as an aspiring Haemonculus who doesn’t mind inflicting a bit of pain for some gain on my own forces, I was wondering if you could revisit and expand on some of the maths around Dark Technomancer ability to boost weapons? In particular the damage output of over charged Disintergrator cannons vs Dark Lance’s on Raiders and the potential lunacy of over charging on platforms such as Venoms, Talos, Reapers, and Tantalus?

Secondly, one of the strongest abilities of Paragon Warsuits is the combination of their 8" move, their vehicle keyword allowing them to move and shoot, and their access to the exceptional Proficiency Stratagem to hit on 2s. This combines so well with Multi-Meltas that it almost feels foolish to take Heavy flamers, which waste the Paragons high ballistic skill, or Heavy Bolters, whose range advantage is largely wasted on a unit that wants to play aggressively up close and get into melee combat. Now here we are in June 2021, and with unprecedented alacrity, we have another Adepta Sororitas codex in front of us, as the Sisters are updated for 9th edition – and get another bunch of new units to boot. Games Workshop have once again been kind enough to provide us with a review copy of the book, and so without further ado we’ll dive right in and take a look at what’s changed. Shield of Faith is similar to the old version – a 6+ invulnerable save and a free 1D6 Deny the Witch for each unit – but with one key difference, which is that a roll of a 6 automatically denies the power. This makes it much more powerful, since there’s longer the possibility of a casting roll you simply can’t beat; 16% of the time you will just poof that power away no matter what. This is even more powerful when combined with the new Aegis of the Emperor sacred rite, which changes this to an unmodified 5+. Zealot The Elites slot has shifted up a whole bunch, with lots of new units and plenty of changes to existing ones. Priests The bonus damage can be disregarded if the target has fewer wounds than the Damage characteristic of the weapon (for example boosting a splinter cannon against Primaris Marines).Warlord traits, stratagems, relics, and a dedicated set of secondary objectives, as well as the new Blessings of the Faithful and Hymns of Battle 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.

That gives these a role still, albeit probably a reduced one, especially now Sacresants are competing at the same price. One squad to come in from strategic reserves, auto-charge and butcher something then demand a ranged answer is pretty plausible. Three units in many lists, maybe a bit less so. 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. Given how good these were before and that they’ve dropped in price it seems unlikely that they should be written off entirely, but they’re appreciably harder to deploy, so be a bit cautious. Firstly, you have the choice between Storm Bolters and Grenade Launcher. The grenade launcher unfortunately compares very poorly to the storm bolters into all targets. The sheer number of shots the storm bolters get, especially at 12", means they usually deal more damage into even the sorts of targets a s6 ap-1 d3 gun should be favoured into. It really feels like the Paragon Grenade Launchers were supposed to be doubled like the storm bolters, but at some point were left as a single profile, and as such simply fail to compare to the two Storm Bolters. The only caveat to throw out in this section is that there does seem to have been a concerted effort to shake up the tactics used by existing lists, and experienced Sororitas players will need to change up their playstyles a bit. Notably, it’s much harder to build an unshiftable anvil of infantry (as you cannot boost Shield of Faith to 4++ widely, and get a toned down Valorous Heart/Imagifier interaction), and the hyper-efficient trade units have either been toned down or are harder to use. You can’t rely as much on surgically neutralising your opponent’s best stuff and having them break on your anvil – you need a more proactive plan to take the fight to them. Happily, plenty of the new and improved units support that! Hot Takes Liam Seraphim get a very cool buff – their hand flamers are now Ministorum hand flamers, the same as regular ones but with S4 instead of S3. This is almost certainly a way to justify the 5pt cost per gun (see also artificer-crafted storm bolters elsewhere), but at least if GW are going to insist on a minimum 5pt cost for a weapon they’ve gone the right way about it by making the gun actually worth 5pts. It’s not all bad on the cost front, either, as the base Seraphim cost 14pts instead of 15 now, and get boosted to 2A and WS3+ base, giving them a little more of a chance at finishing something off in combat (and making the sergeant power sword more attractive) Last month during Warhammer Fest Online we got a good look at all of the new models coming soon to the Adepta Sororitas. Battle Sisters across the board are about to see all manner of updates in the upcoming Codex: Adepta Sororitas, and to get into the crusading spirit we’re giving you a sneak peek at how they fight.

Assembly Instructions for Paragon Warsuits – Warhammer 40’000 (40K).

They did reveal a little bit of what she will do in Warhammer Fest. She will be able to give buffs similar to how a chaplain does. Meaning depending on what she chooses to chant that phase, she will give different buffs. On the table, the faction has an interesting dynamic, with great saves but low Toughness, a relatively circumscribed weapon range which is nevertheless uniquely suited to the demands of 9th edition 40k, and an array of mechanics that give the army a whole lot of oomph that goes beyond what the units’ fairly pedestrian statlines would suggest. A fair number of the relics from the last codex return unchanged, or with only minor tweaks – most confusingly, the Blade of Admonition is now a Crusade relic, but there’s an identical weapon in the regular relics section called the Blade of Saint Ellynor. There’s a mix here of buffs and nerfs; Wrath of the Emperor goes down to AP-1 and Litanies of Faith becomes once per battle round instead of once per turn, but the Iron Surplice now gives +1 wound on top of its previous effect. The Dogmata is a heavy melee unit, particularly suited to capturing objectives, while the Palatine, first arriving in the Piety and Pain battlebox, will be released as a standalone model alongside the new codex. Also spotted on Bolter & Chainsword were new rules for the Exorcist, so let’s compare it to the old sheet and see what’s changed.
