Sisters need to make the middle of the field, but rarely have to go farther to win the game. You can use miracle dice to get full effect from your units, but they are also not dashing 44″ to touch any point on the table. You have situational speed, where one unit can advance and charge.

While sisters are very methodical, they are not fast as an army. If your enemy gets there first, be ready to purge them with holy bolt and flame. Resist your opponent’s best efforts to remove you. Reach the center, and don’t be killed in the process. Lucky for you, this is exactly what 9th edition demands of us. All of these factors combine to give Sisters an identity as a cohesive force that wants to push up the table methodically and reach the battlefield’s center. They also function best when supported by several characters who rely on powerful auras, meaning that the various units in your army will work best when near a cluster of characters who significantly increase their potential. They can bring a powerful array of special weapons to bear and can take an impressive number of models without including massive units. They’re a moderate shooting army that is best at short distances. Sisters are a relatively durable army, with their low toughness offset by strong invulnerables, miracle dice, and mechanics to ignore the AP of incoming weapons. Let’s start by defining the identity of Sisters as an army, and how it will benefit them. Seizing those objectives and holding them through your opponent’s turn will earn you primary points. The new eternal war missions, found in the Chapter Approved Mission pack, truly favor an army that can get into the middle of the table and score objectives. The most obvious way is in the missions, where Sisters excel. I’m here to talk to you about how the Sororitas will transition into new 40k, how they fared in Chapter Approved, and how best to adapt your army.Īs the last book of 8th, Sisters feel designed for the new edition. The most recent codex from 8th has made a relatively smooth transition into 9th, no thanks to Psychic Awakening. Greetings, dear readers! Today we take a pilgrimage to a new edition, where your faith in the Emperor shall be rewarded! John Lennon here, ready to talk to you about my new favorite army in 40k, the Sisters of Battle.
