When the Imperium demands nothing short of total victory, the Adepta Sororitas answer the call with their most devout warriors—the Champions of Faith.
These aren’t just soldiers; they’re handpicked paragons of the Imperial Creed, bound by unshakable oaths sworn to the God-Emperor Himself. Whether they’re gathered in sacred cloisters, strapped into dropships streaking through enemy skies, or standing resolute amid the chaos of war, these pious champions move with one purpose: to fulfill their mission or die trying.
Let’s dive into how this new Celestian-focused Detachment channels the sheer devotion of the Sisters of Battle into devastating battlefield potential.
Celestians and the Power of Righteous Purpose
This Detachment zeroes in on the Celestians, elevating them to new heights as the spiritual heart of the Adepta Sororitas. With Righteous Purpose, their sacred conviction becomes a weapon:
- Celestian Sacresants gain a +1 boost to their Objective Secured (OS), turning them into steadfast bulwarks for claiming critical objectives.
- By discarding Miracle dice, you can make units like Battle Sisters, Celestian Sacresants, and Paragon Warsuits Righteous.
Once a unit is declared Righteous, their faith supercharges their combat abilities:
- Bravery: They become more resilient, standing firm even in the face of overwhelming odds.
- Speed: Their holy fervor drives them forward with greater urgency.
- Combat Strength: They hit harder, their strikes guided by their unyielding belief in the God-Emperor.
The combination of Righteous units and the flexibility of Miracle dice means the Sisters of Battle don’t just fight—they ascend to levels of zealotry that make them unstoppable.
Mark of Devotion: Turning Characters into Holy Warriors
Faithful devotion has its rewards, and in this Detachment, those rewards are terrifyingly effective. The Mark of Devotion is a gift to Characters, enhancing their melee weapons by adding:
- +1 Attack baseline.
- If the bearer is Righteous, they gain an additional Attack and +1 Damage to those weapons!
With this upgrade, even the humblest Sisters’ leaders become fearsome combatants, capable of taking on enemies many times their size or strength. It makes every Character in your army a key asset, capable of turning the tide in critical moments.
To the Heart of Heresy: Burn the Evil at Its Source
The To the Heart of Heresy Stratagem encapsulates what this Detachment is all about—obliterating heresy at the very core. When activated in the Fight phase, this Stratagem grants:
- +1 Strength to your units.
- If the unit is Righteous, it also adds extra Armour Penetration, making their melee attacks even deadlier.
This ability lets the Adepta Sororitas smash through even the toughest defenses, punishing the unholy with the full weight of their purity. It’s thematic, brutal, and exactly what you’d expect from the Sisters of Battle when they’ve got heretics in their sights.
Holiness in Action: The Tactical Edge of the Champions of Faith
This Detachment isn’t just about adding more buffs—it’s about creating a playstyle that rewards strategic use of Miracle dice and empowers the Sisters with unmatched flexibility. Here’s why this Detachment shines:
- Mission Focus: The OS bonus for Celestian Sacresants ensures you’re not just killing enemies—you’re controlling the battlefield.
- Character Power: Every leader becomes a force multiplier, capable of dealing massive damage when you need it most.
- Faithful Synergy: The interplay between Miracle dice, Righteous units, and Stratagems creates layers of tactical depth.
This isn’t just a toolbox—it’s a holy arsenal, tailor-made for players who love the thematic fervor and tactical precision of the Adepta Sororitas.
Prepare for More Faith and Fire
The Champions of Faith Detachment transforms the Sisters of Battle into an unstoppable force of divine justice. Whether you’re storming objectives or cutting down heretics in close combat, their unwavering devotion ensures that every move counts.
So, what’s next for the faithful? Tomorrow, the Blood Angels will take the spotlight. Until then, pray to the Emperor, burn the heretics, and prepare to wield the Sisters’ unbreakable zeal to its fullest!
