Via various special abilities, trait and relics.You roll an unmodified 1 for a Morale test taken for a unit with the AoF ability (without performing an AoF to do so).A psychic power is resisted by a unit from your army with the AoF ability (without performing an AoF to do so).A Character unit from your army with the AoF ability is destroyed.A unit from your army with the Acts of Faith ability destroys an enemy unit.One at the end of a phase if one or more of the following conditions are met:.One at the beginning of each battle round.As long as your army contains at least one unit with the ability, you gain them in the following ways: Miracle DiceĪcts of Faith run off Miracle dice. Many units in the codex have the Acts of Faith (AoF) ability, which allows them to make use of these rules. We’re pretty confident that this crutch is no longer required as-of this book, but it’s worth taking note of that if you’ve been using their current competitive builds! Acts of FaithĪcts of Faith get a complete overhaul from the Beta codex, and are now way more exciting. It is worth noting that amongst the many, many buffs the Sisters get in this book the fact that the Shield of Faith buffing abilities no longer apply to anything other than INFANTRY does significantly weaken their main popular build prior to this, which often leaned on spamming 4++ tanks. The presence of these abilities (and the fact that for the latter you can choose it on a per-game basis) turns this into a genuinely useful trait. There are multiple aura abilities available that boost the Shield of Faith save for INFANTRY (all capping out at 4++), and Sacred Rites can boost the power of the Deny. However, there are several ways to improve both aspects. In addition, one model in the unit can attempt to Deny the Witch once per turn, but the roll is taken on 1D6.Īt a baseline this is merely fine – the save is nice but the Deny will rarely work.

#The sisters party of the year review full
Sisters of Battle finally have a full codex, but there are still a few areas they feel a bit under-cooked. Psychic Powers. Sisters have some tools for denying powers, but lack any native access to psychic of their own, which means that they just don’t have access to Smite and other power-based tools for dealing mortal wounds.Low Toughness. Sisters have decent saves and near army-wide invulnerable saves, but at only Toughness 3 for their infantry, most weapons in the game are gonna be wounding you on a 3+ or even a 2+.
Between Miracle Dice, Acts of Faith, Shield of Faith, Order abilities, and Sacred Rites, Sisters have a ton of strong special rules that help the army out, and offer several good options that can completely change how they play as an army. Even their most expensive units don’t really top 200 points, meaning you can easily fill out multiple Battalions or a Brigade, with multiple options outside of the Troops slot. Low Cost. On a per-model basis, Sisters of Battle units are pretty cheap.That means things are more likely to go according to plan, or at least, you’re less likely to get completely screwed by bad dice with Sisters. The new Miracle Dice mechanic is great for smoothing variance, helping you plug in rolls and ensuring that more often than not, you’ll be able to make the really important rolls when you need them.
