The Adepta Sororitas are an intriguing faction as they are heavily reliant on buffs and abilities to do damage. Individually they are weak but they can be empowered by their faith. Let’s see how GW intends to handle them in 10th!
It looks like they are keeping their Acts of Faith although this system has been tweaked:
If you get some 6’s that will definitely help with Critical Wound abilities. We also get to see the rules for one of their detachments:
This is an interesting ability, but the concern from a lot of players is not really hitting so much as it is wounding. It can be devastating on some of their heavy weapons though! Up next is the datasheet preview of the complex Triumph of Saint Katherine
The Triumph has a ton of wounds and gives out 2 abilities each turn, one of which will likely always be the Fiery Heart. It also packs 18 S 5 attacks in melee which is nothing to sniff at!
Battle Sister Squads have the ability to farm Miracle dice which is amazing, as is there Cherub ability. These girls are hit hard by the nerf to multi-meltas so hopefully their faction ability helps overcome this. They also have a relatively low Ld.
We also get to see some weapon Previews
I am not wowed by her attacks as she will struggle vs most vehicles.
indirect is similar to what we have seen in 9th, although the Conflagration rockets simply don’t care. The trick will be how to get 1 wound on your vehicles so the faction ability will proc! Expect to see a lot of Exorcists although they may still struggle vs some tanks.
The Sororitas strat is really good, and i expect to see a lot of Battle Sisters and Retributers on the field going forward!
