(Player Edition) v0.1


2/57

Changes v0.2

Removed Immolator from units with minimum size of 10 (it can only fit 6 models!)

Immolator regains option for twin Heavy Flamers, and has option for single Flamestorm Cannon (in place of troopcapacity).

Reduced cost of Rhino, comes with smoke launchers and searchlight.

Removed ablative armour options.

Repressor tweaked, no longer Fast but retaining sponson options to fulfil a role as a fast attack mini-landraider style

vehicle.

Stormraven replaced with the Supernal Lander, a vehicle of similar size but with more focus on being an assaultlander than a gunship, though a Stormraven should still make an adequate proxy.

Repair removed from Exorcist due to the use of non-standard engines.

Cloaks of St. Aspira on all Celestians (except Celestian Angels) are now optional rather than included, also onPaletines and Canonesses.

Sarissa allow a model with boltgun to assault an enemy they have fired at.

Palatines and Canonesses have option of boltgun or bolt-pistol as standard equipment, allowing them to replaceonly their close combat weapon while retaining a boltgun. Other options restructured to allow more flexibility.

Zealots may now purchase up to 20 additional models for a maximum unit size of 30 + priest.

Slight points bump for Retributors.

Minor tweaks to Arco-Flagellants, with effects of implant injectors now permanent.

Blessed ammunition upgrades are now applied only to a specific weapon, unless taken as a general wargearchoice.

Replaced Vigilants with Missionaries; flak armoured scout infiltrators with Stealth, laspistols and close combatweapons with short-range weapon options. Apostle (veteran squad leader) has the Incite ability, allowing them to tryto force an enemy to redirect its fire at his unit. Unit is relatively cheap but requires a mandate.

Penitent engine has a consistent 4(5) attacks, but receives +D6 attacks for assaulting, slight price increase.Weaponry is now standard Dreadnaught Close Combat weapons with integrated Flamers, with options to upgradeintegrated Flamers to Meltaguns or Heavy Flamers.

Changes v0.3

Immolator loses the Repair rule if fitted with Flamestorm Cannon (should have been in v0.2). Meltabombs no-longer an old-style unit upgrade, now only offered to veteran superiors on appropriate units.

Acts of Faith do not require test with most being a little less powerful to compensate. Most importantly, individualsquads may now only perform certain Acts of Faith based on their speciality, with only Celestians able to performany act they wish.

With changes to Acts of Faith, Celestians no longer have Holy Hatred.

With changes to Acts of Faith (The Passion), Seraphim and Celestians are reduced to basic Initiative 3.

Power of Prayer act of faith available to all squads, generates D3 faith points for them at the cost of going toground for a turn (unable to perform any acts while they are like this). Intended as a way to gain more faithpoints at the loss of a turn, but may result in only generating 1 new faith point, replacing the one expended, butwhich can only be used by the squad that generated it.

Cost of Cloaks of St. Aspira increased.

Corrected Initiative on; Priests, Crusaders and Sisters Repentia Mistresses, as well as multiple Initiative valueerrors in rules sections.

Removed bracketed stats (theyre a bloody pain to format) in favour of noting included profile elements.

Crusaders brought in line with Codex: Grey Knights, with mandate required and addition of Holy Rage and Faithful(1) with Acts of Faith options including a unique Rending act of faith. More expensive as a result.

Arco-Flagellants brought in line with Codex: Grey Knights with mandate required. Ministorum flagellants haveadditional options including additional, one-use combat drugs and the nightmare helm. Effects include:

Bane gives Furious Charge and Counter Attack, but explodes flagellants heart if used with exoneration.

Exoneration gives a vicious re-roll to-hit and to-wound, but each 1 on a re-rolled dice kills a flagellant(potentially killing them all given their number of attacks).

Rout gives flagellants Hit & Run, but cant be used with the other drugs.

Nightmare helm gives Holy Rage and Fearless, but the Rage does not distinguish friend or foe.

Adherer and Immolator broken apart as Heavy Support and Fast Attack respectively. Adherer is more lightlyarmoured by can have Heavy Bolter sponsons, Immolator can flame or melta sponsons.

3/57

Removed the restriction on Confessors, with each one taken increasing the number of Priests allowed in the army,making it possible to field an all-Ecclesiarchy army if you wish. Kyrinov removes the restriction on Priests entirely.

Priests rejigged slightly to behave as individual characters, purchased in squads of 1-5 but fielded separately asbefore.

Dominion gain the option to purchase the Scout rule (so they can outflank in their vehicle).

Added Zealot Cavalry as a specific unit, automatically provides Priest with a mount. 5-10 models, 6+ armour, andScout. Default to two close combat weapons, option for close combat weapon and laspistol, or two laspistols on up

to half the models. Celestian Retinue removed in favour of St. Celestine taking a normal retinue, with special upgrade option to add

Wings of Faith.

Added Ordo-Hereticus Inquisitors, as they are still closely tied.

Acolyte retinue is now a separate unit with additional options (Death Cult Assassin, Servitor, Troopers). Troopersreplace warrior acolytes in favour of a better range of options for representing various planetary defence, imperialguard, or adeptus arbite forces, including hounds and Cyber-Mastifs. Anti-psyker options omitted in favour of thewitch-hunter and ecclesiarchys more specialist roles compared to those of ordo hereticus with grey knights.

Troopers (with optional Hounds) are also available as an Elite choice for planetary defence oriented forces.

Added preliminary rules for a Purifier Spearhead formation intended for flame-tanks.

Praesidium Protectiva increased to a 3+ Invulnerable Save, but functions the same (only used versus one enemy ata time in close combat). This is to balance against Storm Shields always granting 3+.

Added Saint Praxedes as an additional Sisters special character; she and any units fighting alongside her areFearless in close combat, she is armed with sceptre of vengeance (counts as Power Fist that strikes in normalInitiative order and forces enemy to re-roll Invulnerable saves).

Cloaks of St. Aspira now only available to Celestian Retinues.

Changes v0.3.1

Missionaries may now take Meltabombs (theyre not the most durable squads after-all, so high cost for high risk isokay!)

Confessors now 3 Wounds and Leadership 10.

Corrected cyber-mastif in acolyte force list entry to the correct armour save value of 4+ (theyre fully robotic).

Reworded Mandated Trooper entry for grenades (All troopers in squad rather than Entire squad).

Ordo Hereticus gains all options from Grey Knights list, including ability to upgrade to a Psyker. However, instead ofthe psychic abilities in the Grey Knights codex the inquisitor simply choose an Act of Faith to gain as a regularpsychic ability, as Hand of the Emperor is practically Hammerhand, and Psychic Communion is of limitedusefulness in this list anyway.

Added Inquisitor Karamazov as-is from Grey Knights.

Added Uriah Jacobus; so hes a little bit dead depending on the timing, hes still available to buy and a funcharacter for Ecclesiarchy forces by allowing more freedom to take Missionaries.

Added Witch Hunter Tyrus as another Ordo Hereticus character so that Sisters of Battle, Adeptus Ministorum andOrdo Hereticus each have two special characters. He is a potent anti-psyker with hatred of daemons, and theability to force psykers with line of sight to him (friend and foe) to re-roll successful psychic tests. He has artificierarmour (I mean, if he doesnt then who does?!), master crafted bolt-pistol and the power-fist & power knife combowhich grants him the bonuses of a power fist & force weapon without the Initiative penalty. His retinue may begranted Preferred Enemy (Psykers and/or Daemons).

Removed Repressor side-sponsons (should have been removed when they went to Adherer/Immolator options).

Arco-Flagellant squads now incorporate Holy Rage at 16 points each, with Nightmare Helms granting Fleet instead.

Trooper grenade launcher has stun grenades (no damage, but force a Pinning test with penalties for extra modelshit).

Removed mentions of Perils of the Warp tests, silly habit from mentioning Warhammer Miscasts!

Flails for Zealots are now free (due to the trade-off of 1 Attack for a Strength and Initiative bonus on charge).

Laspistols cheaper for both Zealots and Zealot Cavalry.

Zealot Cavalry reduced to 40 points (8 points each) with a unit size of 5-20 (plus Priest).

Zealot standard added to Zealot Mobs and Zealot Cavalry; for 10 points it grants the squad the ability to takeMorale Checks on their Priests Leadership as normal, or their own Leadership with re-rolls.

Exorcist War Organs Dirge of Lament (barrage) now Strength 5 and Ignores Cover, competing with, but onaverage worse than, a Whirlwinds indirect fire.

3


4/57

Distinguished Sisters and more elite models as having Chainswords rather than standard close combat weapons.Not that theres a difference but we can always hope one day theyll be better represented!

Zealot Mobs gain additional equipment options include Lasguns or Stubguns (18 Str 3 AP6 Rapid Fire) as anoption alongside laspistol & close combat weapon, as well as one in every 10 models able to take a Shotgun,Close Combat Weapon with Bolt Pistol or (over-costed) Hand Flamer, or (over-costed) Flamer.

Changes v0.4

Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor now correctly priced (25 points). Tweaked Saint Praxedes Sceptre of Vengeance to distinguish it a bit from Tyrus combined Power Fist and Force

Weapon. Now the sceptre will inflict D3 multiple wounds on enemies that are not immune to Instant Death.

Adherer is now only available as a Dedicated Transport for Retributors only, and Immolators are only available toDominion squads as they are Heavy Support and Fast Attack respectively. Immolators are also available toCelestians.

Only Adherer and Exorcist may have Hunter-Killer Missiles, but may have up to two each.

Repressor moved to Dedicated Transports.

Missionaries moved to Fast Attack, Apostle now included by default (60 point squad cost), Apostle no longer hasoption for Brazier of Holy Fire (they have enough Flamers already).

Corrected cost of Power Fist for mandated troopers to 25 points.

Separated Mandated Troopers into Mandated (Troop) and Veteran (Elite) choices with 10-20 (with veteran) and5-10 sizes respectively. Mandated Troopers may additionally have up to 5 hounds, while veteran troopers may haveup to 5 hounds or cyber-mastifs.

Added Helena the Virtuous as a special champion for Sisters Repentia, granting them Fleet, as well as re-rolls ofmisses and failed to-wound rolls against models in base contact with Helena herself. Helena has the Rod of Gracewhich nullifies enemy special weapons in combat, and she is also able to perform the Spirit of the Martyr (andPower of Prayer) Acts of Faith making her quite a potent upgrade for a Repentia squad.

Gave the Adherer its armour 12 front back with appropriate points bump.

Removed Crusaders upgrade for Imagifer (captain already has Simulacrum Imperialis!)

Corrected Stubgun profile to be Autogun, with profile for Stubguns correctly as a pistol. Both retain the slightlyrange-reduced but mildly punchy profiles.

Sarissa now counts as additional close combat weapon.

Restructured canoness and palatine options slightly; they now come with bolt-pistol and close combat weapon only,but may replace either weapon with those listed, included Boltgun & Sarissa if they wish.

Celestian Retinue now has same profile as standard Celestians, but are equipped with chainsword with boltgun &sarissa to grant their 2 basic attacks. They also have the Holy Hatred special rule which allows them to expendFaith Points to become Stubborn, and earn squad faith points for winning rounds of close combat, potentiallyallowing them to amass Faith points very quickly and use Acts of Faith nearly continuously as a result.

Removed most items that were included in profiles (was getting confusing); only St. Praxedes with her cloak of St.Aspira is shown.

Retributor Fire on the Move for Heavy Bolter tweaked to fire essentially as a Strength 5 AP4 Storm Bolter.

Removed retinue meltabombs upgrade from Jacobus (Missionaries can take Meltabombs already), instead he cantake Meltabombs for himself only.

Penitent Engines may upgrade either integrated flamer, this means the cost for upgrading both is slightly increased,with twinned weapons treated as Twin-Linked.

Sisters Repentia shouldnt have had two attacks (typo or copy/paste mistake most likely), to balance this they nowhave no save so they can retain the horrendous attack power that 2 Attacks each gives them.

Sisters Repentia have Fearless in combat moved into their Only in Death Does Duty End rule, replacing theirimproved speed with Moves through Cover. In addition, in combat Sisters Repentia inflict one hit on their enemy forevery one suffered from No Retreat!

Priests updated in line with Ministorum Priests in Codex: Imperial Guard, but have a greater array of options tochoose from and of course provide mandate.

Witch Hunter Tyrus reduced to 140 points, with basic Strength 4 and Toughness 4, and now has a bionic eye thatcombines the effects of a Targeter and Psyoculum.

Corrected number of attacks for Crusader Acolytes (was 2, should be 1 each).

St. Celestines retinue may replace boltguns with Praesidium Protectivas for 10 points per model; results in a verydurable combat retinue but less hitting power as theyll lose an attack from the Sarissas.

Sister Hospitaller increased to 30 points.

IntroductionThe following unofficial publication is a player madealternative army list defining rules for using a Sisters ofBattle army in games of Warhammer 40,000. As it is notan official list produced by Games Workshop, the use ofit in games of Warhammer 40,000 should be discussed

beforehand with other players, as while it is intended tobe a balanced and fun list, it may play very differently toofficial lists.

Unlike an official publication, this army book will omit alarge amount of background history and otherinformation, both for brevity to focus on the rules, andfor copyright reasons. It will instead include only newbackground information, with several small excerptstaken from Codex: Witch Hunters, currently availablefor download on the Games Workshop website. Blankspace is used to indicate where images, or omittedbackground information would be provided.

I would like to thank the following members ofWarseer.com, who have provided feedback andsuggestions for the previous lists and ideas upon whichthis one draws a lot of inspiration:

This mayaffect Force Weapons or similar devices, in whichcase any benefit granted by the psychic test isignored.

Holy Rage

Units containing one or more models with Holy Rageare subject to the Rage special rule, and may movean additional D6 in their Movement phase. Thisadditional movement is not affected by Difficultterrain, but may cause Dangerous terrain tests asnormal.

Faithful (*)

A model or unit with this rule will contribute a numberof Faith points to the armys pool as indicated by thenumber in brackets.

Martyrdom

If a Faithful character is killed, or Faithful unit losesits last model, then the number of Faith pointsoriginally contributed by the model or unit is addedinto the pool of Faith points.

Requires Mandate

Each unit with this rule requires a model with theAdeptus Ministorum rule to be present in the army.Each Adeptus Ministorum representative mayprovide a mandate for only a single unit.

Acts of Faith

At the start of the game the Sisters of Battle army willhave a pool of Faith points, contributed by units markedwith the Faithful rule.

Squads or characters that may perform acts of faith willhave them listed in their profile and may additionallyperform the Power of Prayer act. Each act will affect thesquad and any Faithful character that is a part of it, butnon-Faithful characters will gain no benefit from Acts ofFaith.

A squad may perform only one act of faith per phase,but can perform any number per turn.

Performing an Act of Faith

Acts of Faith are performed in the same way aspsychic powers, except that a Faith point must beexpended in order to do-so, and the psychic test isinstead referred to as a Test of Faith. Acts of Faith donot themselves count as psychic powers and Perils ofthe Warp result in a Loss of Faith instead, causing D3Faith points to be lost, taken first from the squad s pool(if any) then from the army.

Act of Faith

Hand of the Emperor

Phase: Beginning of either players Assault phase.

Effect: Squad fights at Strength 5 and Initiative 1until the end of the phase. Models that already haveStrength 5 or greater (including bonuses fromweapons), are not affected.

Divine Guidance

Effect: Squad may re-roll failed to-Hit rolls whenshooting until the end of the phase.

The Passion

Phase: Beginning of either players Assault phase.

Effect: Squad fights at Initiative 5 until the end of thephase. Models with weapons that modify Initiativeare not affected.

Light of the Emperor

Phase: Beginning of own Movement phase.

Effect: Squad will rally automatically if falling back(even if normally unable to do-so), or if it has gone toground it may choose to return to normal.

Spirit of the Martyr

Phase: Beginning of either players Assault phase orbeginning of enemy Shooting phase.

Effect: Squad gains a 4+ Invulnerable save until theend of the phase.

Power of Prayer

Phase: Beginning of own Movement phase.

Effect: Squad goes to ground and may perform nofurther acts of faith until their next turn. D3 Faith

points are generated for use by that squad only, itmay be appropriate to mark these with counters.

Adepta SororitasSaint Celestine

Hieromartyr of the Palatine CrusadeOf her life before she was declared a Living Saint, very little isknown of Celestine, other than that she was a Sister Repentiaof the Order of Our Martyred Lady. She was but one warrior

amongst the beleaguered faithful fighting a protracted waragainst the heretics of the Palatine Schism.

The war against the schismatics had ground to a stalemateupon the apostate world of Eurytion. Celestine was to befound at the head of the first wave attacking the capitalswalls, her fury a terrible thing to those who witnessed it.Celestine fell that day, along with every other Repentia, butdespite the defeat, it was said that she accounted for overone hundred schismatics during the assault, her Evisceratorcleaving them into ragged chunks as she and her sistersscreamed for absolution. As the army retreated and darknessfell, her ruined body was recovered from the breach andcarried off by a solemn procession of sisters.

As Celestines body was set down amongst the honoureddead, her sisters saw that life lingered within her yet. Theysaw in her eyes the light of one touched by the divine will ofthe Emperor, and reverently approached, cleansing her bodyof the blood and filth of battle until she stood flawless beforethem.

The next day, the assault on the city was resumed withCelestine at its head. It fell within scant hours and theremainder of the Palatine Crusade passed in a bloodywhirlwind of vengeance as Celestine was hailed as theCrusades figurehead, the entire sector being scoured of notjust the schismatics but every being the crusaders deemedunworthy of existing upon the worlds of Man.

Lord Ansgar, the Crusades leader, believed that the crusadewould reach its conclusion at the capital world of the Palatinesector, but Celestine insisted upon first liberating a small,

backwater world named Sanctus Lys. Unknown to all but her,the world was home to the ancient Shrine of the Fiery Heart,a holy place once visited by Saint Katherine. Amidst itsshattered ruins, Celestine ordered a broken altar movedaside, and the flagstones beneath it taken up. Carrying outher orders, her followers uncovered the entrance to a hiddencrypt. Barring any from following her, she descended dustysteps that none had trodden for millennia.

Her followers awaited her return, at first with patience but, astime passed, with increasing concern. Yet Celestine had beenfirm in her order that none should follow her into the crypt. Atlength, as the first light of dawn broke above the ruinedshrine, Celestine rose from the tomb, borne aloft on a columnof divine radiance and attended by cherubs and doves. She

was now clad in a suit of shining golden armour, and wieldeda blade wreathed in sweet-scented petals, its blade so brightnone could bear look upon it. She gazed around, and all whodared meet her eyes were struck down by equal partsheavenly adoration and infernal terror.

After her apotheosis, Lord Ansgar and a conclave of hisThorian compatriots declared Celestine a Living Saint. Shewas hailed as the Hieromartyr of the Palatine Crusade andfought at the vanguard of numerous Wars of Faith. Herpresence invested the faithful with an unprecedented fervour,and hundreds of thousands of heretics met a fiery end at thehands of her armies. Many were fearful in her presence, forto stand before her was to submit to the judgment of onewhose example could never be emulated. Her influence uponthe Adepta Sororitas, for whom she became the focus of total

veneration, was miraculous; she was a Living Saint, whomthe Sisters of Battle would follow to the very centre of the Eyeof Terror were she to lead them there.

Celestine was lost to the Imperium whilst fighting therenegade Warmaster of Forrax. When the lunatic Warmastertriggered the meltdown of the ancient atomic pile at the heart

of his fortress, an area many miles across was blasted toatoms. Many believe she perished at the moment of hertriumph, yet none survived to give a true account of thebattles conclusion. The mighty Tower of Heroes upon sacredTerra tolled once to proclaim her loss to the faithful, a billionsouls pausing in their toil and looking towards the EmperorsPalace, united in their grief for the fallen heroine. But theSororitas, at prayer within the halls of the Convent Prioriswere gladdened by the mournful peal, for they knew that hadshe fallen, Celestine would even now be sitting at the side ofthe Emperor.

Armour of Saint Katherine

This most revered of armours confers a 2+ Armoursave or 4+ Invulnerable Save.

The Ardent Blade

This blade is a Blessed Weapon that can fire as aFlamer in the Shooting phase. It does not count towardthe armys total of Blessed Weapons.

Wings of Faith

Seraphim Jump Pack. In addition, models with Wingsof Faith may always move 6 in the Assault phase,following the rules for jump-pack movement.

Special Rules

Miraculous Intervention

If Celestine loses her last wound, then she must makean immediate, unmodified Leadership test. If the test isfailed then she is removed as a casualty as normal.

If the test is passed then Celestine will immediatelyrecover with one Wound and be placed in Reserve. Onthe turn she returns she will descend to rejoin herretinue (if she had one), otherwise she will re-enter thebattlefield following the rules for Deep Strike, with anyfailure simply causing her to remain in Reserve.

St.Celestine is only considered a casualty if she failsher Miraculous Intervention test, or if she is still waitingto re-enter the battle at the end of the game.

Instead of the normal rules for Martyrdom, the first time

Celestine is removed from play D6 Faith Points are lostfrom the armys Faith pool. If this reduces the pool tozero Faith points then no more points may begenerated by Martyrdom for the remainder of the game.

Saint PraxedesWarrior Martyr of Ophelia VII

Saint Praxedes was Canoness of the Order of OurMartyred Lady at the start of the Second Tyrannic War.With a force or Bailie Sisters she reinforced theCaladenian Imperial Guard on the Cardinal World of

Okassis. As the Tyranids assaulted the Cardinal palace,she led her Battle Sisters and a company ofGuardsmen in a gallant counter-attack. Leading fromthe front of the fighting. she bested a Hive Tyrant andbroke the Tyranid attack, buying the thousands ofrefugees fleeing from the conflict the time needed toevacuate the planet.

Not content with this success, the Canoness presseddeep into the heart of the Tyranid swarms, leading hersmall army in a guerrilla war against the armies of thehive mind. The disruption and havoc she wreakedseriously weakened the Tyranid attack on thespaceport, saving even more lives. As the last of theshuttles soared into orbit and safety, all contact was lostwith her army. She was the first Martyr to the Krakenand her name is revered all across the UltimaSegmentum. Some claim that she lives yet, fighting onagainst the dreaded hordes of the Tyranids from within.

A great mace filled with purifying flames that casts arcsas it is swung through the air to smite the enemies ofthe Emperor.

The sceptre of Vengeance is treated as a Power Fist

Helena the VirtuousPrioress of the Convent Sanctorum

Raised from infancy in an Ophelian Schola Progenium,Helena proved to be remarkably gifted in her earliestchildhood. Exceptionally intelligent, eloquent andincisive, she was destined to become a high authority in

whatever vocation she chose. After 30 years service inthe Order of the Key, Helena had risen to the position ofCanoness, and was responsible for a great increase inthe power of the Ecclesiarchy.

Her efforts did not go unnoticed and when the Prioressof the Convent Sanctorum died, Helena's was the firstname on the Ecclesiarch's lips. Although Helena'sduties are mainly of an organisational and spiritualnature, she has always possessed the gift of involvingherself personally at the right moment. As a Prioress,Helena is a member of all the Orders of the AdeptaSororitas, including the Orders Militant. Although shelacks the lifelong training of one of that Order, it hasbeen known for Helena to personally intervene in abattle. With her own strict regime of training andexercise, she keeps her ageing body in the bestcondition possible and she is very skilled in the theoriesof battle.

Helena's greatest asset is the holiness and serenity sheradiates. Her presence has an underlying strengthwhich reassures others imbues her followers with anundying love and respect. Combined with herencyclopaedic knowledge and shining charisma, these

qualities make Helena a truly great battlefieldcommander and politician.

Though on the battlefield she will readily defer to theleaders of the Order Militant, Helena will often findherself drawn to those that need her help the most.Considered scandalous by some, or a humbling marvelby others, she will often join the Sisters Repentia, thoseagonised souls that have lost their way, leading them bythrough kindness and divine example to free them oftheir terrible shame.

WargearPower Armour, Rod of Grace, Purity Seals.

Rod of Grace

An ornate symbol of office and a potent example of theEcclesiarchys might, the rod of grace shines withdivine light as it strikes the enemies of the Emperor.

The Rod of Grace is a power weapon that nullifies theeffects of special weapons used against Helena inclose combat; treat these as standard close combatweapons instead.

Special Rules

Revered Leader

Helena is held in high regard for pushing herself hard inbattle in spite of her modest combat training, and it isbecause of this example that troops that follow her willdo nearly anything to ensure that no harm comes toher.

Helenas squad may re-roll misses and failed to-woundrolls against enemies in base contact with her.

In addition, Helena confers her Fleet special rule ontoher entire squad.

Fire on the Move

Unlike heavy support units in other armies, theRetributors often have to deliver their firepower as theyclose with the enemy, rather than securing a positionand remaining there. To this end, they train extensivelyto be able to use their weaponry with reduced firepowerin order to provide covering fire as they move into newpositions.

Heavy Weapons noted here may fire even if the squadhas moved, but will do so using a different profile fromnormal. If the squad has not moved then the weaponsmay fire as normal.

Adeptus MinistorumRedepmtor Kyrinov

Arch Confessor

Arch-Confessor Kyrinov has been the scourge ofblasphemers and heretics across a hundred worlds. Hepurged the Chaotic legions of the Demagogue Lord ofValaan, accompanied the Valhallan Ice Warriors on theCrusade of Repentance and crushed the Jihad of DukeSelda. Kyrinov is known for unflinching adherence tohis duties and his harsh treatment of those who deviatefrom his strict interpretations of Ecclesiarchal doctrine.Kyrinov often quotes from the scriptures of ConfessorDolan and strongly agrees with the Great Confessor'sbelief that no sacrifice is too great.

Kyrinov is seen by most as a vocal, tyrannical figure buthis patience and shrewd mind often serve him betterthan any amount of sermonising and lambasting of themasses. It is claimed that Kyrinov would wait until thesun grew cold and the planets stopped spinning if itmeant that an opponent to the Ecclesiarchy would fallfrom grace. Kyrinov's fiery speeches, wild gestures andmelodramatic acts of faith hide a very cold and logicalapproach to his work. A prime schemer and manipulatorof people, Kyrinov is an impossible foe to out-think orplacate.

Kyrinov is most famous for his handling of the MolovianHeresy. While posing as a staunch supporter of therenegade Governor of Molov, Kyrinov spent three

years gathering evidence against him and rallyingsupport for his overthrow. With hundreds of secretmeetings with industrial and trade leaders, Kyrinovstirred up a cartel which plotted to topple the greedyGovernor Vlachek from power. Using his followers'power, Kyrinovs real message was able to reachalmost every member of Molovian society. With thesupport of the workers' unions and the traders, Kyrinovwas able to lead a popular revolt and wrest the reins ofpower from Vlachek. Vlachek's cousin was installed inpower in his place and it must be noted that Molov nowhas a startling reputation for efficiency and honestywhen delivering its Ecclesiarchal tithes. All this was

achieved with no other influence from the Ecclesiarchyor any other lrnperial organisation.

Made from the black marble of the pulpit ConfessorDolan first preached from, the Icon of Chiros representsone of the ultimate symbols of the Emperor's power. Allwho see it are filled with a fervent faith and an undyingdevotion to the cause. The sight of the icon is so

terrifying to the enemies of the Imperium that they fleein terror.

Uriah JacobusProtector of the Faith

Uriah Jacobus was a Missionary travelling the worldswest of Bakka, in the southern galaxy. By the age of fiftyhe had introduced fifteen new worlds to the ImperialCreed, a remarkable achievement considering the

scarcity of inhabited planets in the region. He achievedeven greater recognition on the half-frozen world ofSolstice. After spending three years learning about theinhabitants of the world. whose technology and societywas reaching a feudal stage, Jacobus started tointroduce the doctrines of the Ecclesiarchy into thebeliefs of the natives' own rather disorganised religion.

When meeting the king of one particular realm, Jacobuswas disturbed to see an idol or the kingdom's god - afour-armed god of death. Guessing a Genestealer cultto be involved, Jacobus returned to more friendlykingdoms and persuaded their rulers to ally with eachother to attack the traitor king. As suspected, whenJacobus arrived with a mass of crossbowmen andcavalry at his back, his army was attacked by a hordeof Genestealers. Although many of the horrific creatureswere felled by a storm of quarrels, the Genestealersstarted tearing apart the infantry with ease.

Jacobus split his knights into two forces. One he left asa reserve while he led the other on a flank march thatstruck at the rear of the Genestealer cull. Smashing hisway through a screen of human Brood Brothers. theknights attacked the heart of the cult. The Patriarch was

finally slain, though a mound of bodies lay heapedaround its corpse, and the Magus was spitted on alance. The cult was momentarily confused by the lossof its leaders. Seeing the inaction of their foes, the restof the knights attacked, sweeping away thedisorientated aliens in one glorious charge.

After the Battle of Solstice, Jacobus became alegendary figure, able to cali on the Emperor's aid tothwart whatever odds opposed him. He convertedanother six worlds to the Emperor's worship before hefinally died of a lung-destroying virus on the deathworld of Gorang.

Though their combination of religious fervour andfrothing lunacy may propel them into battle, with the aidof a orator, the Frateris Militia are not well known forbattle-hardened resolve. For this reason they will oftencarry aloft crudely made but nonetheless inspirationalbanners to rally around.

A single model may carry a standard of the FraterisMilitia. However, this model will always be the last to bekilled in the squad, as any time the banner bearer isslain another will take it up in their place. If the bannerbearer is to be removed, simply remove another model(players choice) instead.

Zealot CavalryThe members of the Frateris Militia are recruited widelyacross many worlds with varying levels of technologicalprogression. On many such worlds modern vehicles areuncommon, and crude carts drawn by horses or otherbeasts are used.

Though it is not their responsibility, still more of theFrateris Militia function as a form of yeomanry, mountedon such beasts and performing patrols in areas whereno organised Imperial police force is available, or darego.

Witch Hunter TyrusInquisitor of the Monodominant

The renowned Witch Hunter Tyrus is believed to havebeen tortured and maimed by the daemon Kholoth,and later saved the Inquisitor Covonis to become hisapprentice. When Covonis was later killed by the very

same daemon on Epsilon Regalis, it was Tyrus whotook up his masters ornate artificier armour andeventually banished Kholoth back into the Warp.

Tyrus is a blatant follower of the Monodominantphilosophy, a bombastic man whose bloody purgeshave left thousands of heretics dead in his wake.Suspicious of all psykers, even those supposedlycleared by the Inquisition, it is Tyrus creed to huntdown and exterminate every witch, mutant and warlockin the galaxy (including alien psykers). If, along theway, this means eradicating those who would seek toprotect such abhorrent creatures, then so be it. Tyrus isperhaps one of the most active Inquisitors with regardsto internal policing, ferociously hunting down thosewhom he deems heretics within the ranks of his ownorganisation.

He is a great believer in many of the more arcane andreligious trials and ordeals employed to judge the guiltor innocence of those he investigates. One of the morepopular of these is the Trial by Balance, in which adroplet of the accused persons blood is placed on aset of finely- tuned scales opposite the same amount ofwater blessed by a member of the Ecclesiarchy. If the

blood proves to be heavier, it is believed that this isbecause it is weighed down by the guilt of the donorscrimes and they are condemned.

The Ordeal of the Blade is another, which Tyrus mostfamously employed on the Sarcaphon of Gladrinus VI.A heavy, razor- sharp sword is gripped in the fists of thepotential heretic, which they must hold above their headwhile the Inquisitor lists the accusations levelled againstthem in order of severity. If they can complete this featwithout dropping the blade or its keen edge drawingblood, they have proved their innocence of the charges.If blood is spilt or the sword slips, the last spoken

accusation and those remaining to be levelled are true.Miraculously, Sarcaphon Hydrupasta successfullyendured the Ordeal for three and a half hours whileTyrus listed nearly 1,000 charges against him.

There are many other types of trial and ordeal. In Trialby Holy Seal, the accused has a wax tablet placedupon their outstretched palm and a hot seal is appliedto it. If the skin beneath the wax is burnt this is an

indication of guilt. If it is unharmed this is an indicationof the Emperors blessing. Other times, Tyrus hasordered those he is investigating to drink a jug ofblessed water. If the accused cannot do so withoutchoking or gagging, they are presumed guilty, havingbeen unable to imbibe the holiness of the Emperor.Tyrus has also been known to use the Imperial Tarot, adivination process believed to be guided by theEmperor himself, to determine innocence or guiltliterally on the turn of a card. Many are comforted byTyrus use of such traditional methods and his staunchbelief that it is the Emperor who makes these

judgements, not himself.

threat. In dire circumstances, or during wars of faith orcrusades, the Orders Militant will deploy in force to aidother Imperial forces in major operations, serving tobolster the faith of the troops through shining exampleand by providing much need relief through supplies,medical aid, or martial might.

Deep Strike

The Supernal Lander and its occupants may enter thebattlefield following the normal rules for Deep Strike.

Angelic Judgment

During its Movement phase the Supernal Lander maychoose to fire the bolts on its troop compartments,exposing them to the outside world. Doing this causesthe vehicle to become Open Topped, allowing all of itspassengers to fire, and allowing them to disembarkfreely so long as the lander did not move Flat Out, butalso leaving the lander more vulnerable to enemyshooting.

The compartments may be closed during any of thelanders subsequent Movement phases, causing it tocease being Open Topped, though troops may notdisembark in the same turn.

A Supernal Lander may have its passengers disembarknormally, without blowing the bolts early, in which caseall normal rules are followed, but it is important toannounce which method is being used!

Righteous Charge

Embarked Jump Infantry may disembark even after theSupernal Lander moved Flat Out. To do this, pick anypoint along the landers flight-path, and attempt to

place the unit following the rules for Deep Strike. If anymodels cannot be deployed then the entire unit isdestroyed as per a result of 1-2 on the Deep StrikeMishap table.

Performing this action wil l cause the troopcompartments to be automatically opened as above.
