Sisters of Battle
Codex: Apocalypse

QG     ELITE   TROUPES     ATTAQUERAPIDE

SPECIAL RULES
Sacred Rites
Before the fighting begins, the Sisters of Battle kneel in prayer,offering their thanks to the Emperor and asking for protection and guidance.The Battle Sisters are invigorated and emboldened by their prayers, instilled with grim courage and determination to overcome their foes. Other unitsmay also be led in prayer by Preachers or Missionaries, strengthening theirresolve for the coming conflict. Certain units, as noted in their armylist entries, may take part in these Sacred Rites at the start of a battle.For each unit, roll a dice on the following table to see what effect theirprayers have. Higher ranking members of the Ecclesiarchy inspire greateracts of selfless sacrifice and dedication, and so add to the dice roll,as listed below:
Sacred Character Rites           bonus
Canoness                                  +3
Celestian Superior                     +2
Veteran Sister Superior             +1
Note: If an independent character leads a squad in the Sacred Rites,the character must be set up with the squad at the start of the battle.If the character leading the squad in the Sacred Rites subsequently leavesthe unit, any benefit from the Sacred Rites is lost for the rest of thebattle - the unit will think they are being abandoned by the Emperor! Notethat this does not happen if the character is killed whilst with the unit- such characters become martyrs to the cause! The unit loses its SacredRites if another character subsequently leads the unit. The results ofthe Sacred Rites apply to all members of the squad and any characters whostart the battle with them, including the character leading the SacredRites.

NEW MINISTORUM WARGEAR
The rules below describe how all of the specialised equipment usedby the Ecclesiarchy works in the game. These rules tend to be more detailedthan those included in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebooks, and they supercedethem if they are different. Any items not listed here function exactlyas described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Axe of Retribution:
An Axe of Retribution is modelled upon the Axe Of Chalcydon that wascarried by Saint Jason when he crushed the Eldar on Huale. It has a massivedouble-bladed head studded with jewels that rend at the flesh of thoseits strikes. An Axe of Retribution must be wielded in both hands, and somay not be combined with an additional close combat weapon for +1 Attacks.An Axe of Retribution doubles the user's Strength when rolling to woundin an assault.
Blade of Admonition:
The Blade of Admonition is made from the finest metals and is polishedto a mirror finish. Those who look into its blade are said to see theirtrue selves. The Blade of Admonition is treated as a power weapon. In addition,any models in base contact or within 2 " of the bearer at the end of theassault phase are not counted when seeing if one side outnumbers the other.
Book of St. Lucius:
This great tome contains the many writings and sermons of St. Luciusof Agatha, a zealous and renowned Confessor. Certain passages can be readaloud from the book, inspiring those nearby to great acts of heroism. Anyunit with a model within 12 " of the bearer of the Book of St. Lucius mayuse the bearer's Leadership value for any morale checks or pinning teststhey are required to take.
Brazier of Holy Fire:
This holy artefact is said to light the faces of the faithful and leavethe impure shrouded in darkness. In battle the Brazier can be wielded likea weapon in close combat and contains enough fuel to spray a jet of flamesat the enemy. The Brazier of Holy Fire counts as a close combat weapon.In addition, it may be used once per battle like a heavy flamer. All ofthe normal rules for a Heavy Flamer apply.
Eviscerator:
Eviscerators are large two-handed chain swords that can behead or disembowelan enemy with a single blow. An eviscerator must be wielded in both handsand so cannot be used in combination with another close combat weapon for+1 Attacks. A model with an eviscerator adds +1 to their Strength. In addition,if a model with an eviscerator rolls a 6 to hit, then the blow lands withsuch violence that the model hit loses D6 Wounds if they fail their savingthrow (note this is only important against characters and other modelswith multiple).
Exorcist Launcher:
The multiple barrels of the Exorcist launcher fire a hail of armourpiercing missiles at the enemy, obliterating them with one devastatingsalvo. The Exorcist Launcher is not very reliable, so you must roll eachtime it is fired to see how many shots it has.
Range     Strength     AP     Ordnance
48 "                 7         3         D6
Exterminator:
Exterminators are compact, one-shot flamers that can be fitted to thebarrel of a gun or a close combat weapon and are used almost exclusivelyby the Redemptionists. Exterminators may be used once per battle and areused in the first round of an assault (whether the model is charging oris charged). A unit firing its exterminators ignores cover completely -models in cover strike in their normal initiative order. In addition, aunit attacked by models equipped with exterminators will be engulfed inflames. Exterminator attacks are worked out at Initiative 8 and are inaddition to  The model's normal attacks. Roll a D6 for every enemymodel in a unit fighting the Redemptionists. The score required to hitthe enemy depends upon the number of models firing their exterminators(note that all the models in the unit must fire their exterminators atthe same time). Models are hit at Strength 4 with an Armour Piercing valueof 5.
No. Exterminators      Hits on
    1-5                             6
    6-10                           5+
    11-15                         4+
    16+                            3+
Flail of Chastisement:
A Flail of Chastisement is barbed with many hooks, which constrictaround its target as they struggle, ripping skin and tearing flesh. A flailmust be used with both hands and so may not be combined with another weaponfor +1 Attacks. A model with a flail strikes at -1 Initiative but +2 Strength.In addition, if a target is hit by the Flail of Chastisement but not killed,it loses its next D3 Attacks.
Heavy Stubber:
Heavy stub guns, or stubbers as they are more generally known, aresimple but effective weapons that fire a hail of bullets sufficient tobring down most targets. However, its need for prodigious amounts of ammunitionmeans it is viewed with less favour in the Imperial Guard than laser-basedweaponry, which can be recharged quickly and easily. The militia of theEcclesiarchy give no consideration to such matters though, and are comfortedby the hearty roar is unleashes when fired.
Range     Strength     AP     Heavy
36 "            4            5           3
Litanies of Faith:
The Litanies of Faith contain the entire teachings of the Ecclesiarchy,since its founding at the birth of the Imperium. It takes a scribe theirentire life to copy and illuminate the Litanies of Faith, and the hymnalsand chants they contain fills the Emperor's servants with burning faith.The Litanies of Faith allow the character to lead a squad in more SacredRites, once per battle. The character and squad may do nothing for a wholeturn and the unit must not be engaged in close combat or move at all (includingbeing transported in a vehicle). You may roll again on the Sacred Ritestable at the end of the turn and apply the result immediately. This isin addition to any Sacred Rites result generated at the start of the battle.If you roll a duplicate result, you may re-roll the dice. All other rulesfor the Sacred Rites apply.
Praesidium Protectiva:
Believed to contain shards of the armour worn by the Emperor himself,the Praesidium Protectiva can be used to defend against enemies assaultingthe bearer. A model equipped with a Praesidium Protectiva may take a 4+invulnerable save in close combat, instead of its normal armour save. Thesave may only be used against one opponent per turn (the defender chooseswhich), and may not be combined with a rosarius save. In addition, if a'6' is rolled for the saving throw, the blow is reflected back on the attacker- roll to wound and make armour saves as if the enemy model had hit itself!
Sacred Standard:
Add +1 to the Battle Sisters' combat resolution score of any assaultthat takes place within 6 " of a sacred standard. However, if the modelbearing the standard is slain in close combat, then the enemy model thatslew him captures the standard, and the enemy gets the bonus from thenon. It is possible for a standard to change hands several times in a singlebattle, as long as the model holding the standard is slain in close combateach time.
Simulacrum Imperialis:
These icons of the Ecclesiarchy were often carried by one of the Imperium'smany saints, or may even be wrought from their bones. Any Sisters of Battleunit with a line of sight to the Simulacrum Imperialis automatically passesthe first morale check or pinning test it is required to take.

                       WS      BS     S    T      W     I    A      Ld     Save

Squad: You may include up to 5 Martyrs as a single Elites choice.
Weapons: Laspistol/autopistol and close combat weapon.
SPECIAL RULES
-Individuals: Martyrs fight as individual models and can never joina unit. All Martyrs from one selection on the force organisation chartmust be deployed at the same time (though they may be deployed in differentplaces).
-Fearless: Martyrs want nothing more than to die in the service ofthe Emperor. For this reason they will gladly fight against even the mosthorrifying of foes. Martyrs never fall back, and are automatically assumedto pass any morale checks they are required to make (even against attacksthat do not normally allow morale checks to be taken). In addition, Martyrscannot be pinned.
-Suicidal Bombers: Martyrs wear a special harness fitted with highexplosives and willingly throw themselves at the enemy before setting themoff in a massive detonation. At the start of any assault phase (includingthe opponent’s turn) the Martyr may set off his bomb harness. This is doneafter any models have charged into an assault, but before any attacks aremade. Centre the large blast marker over the Martyr. Any model (friendor foe) touched by the template is hit by flying bone and shrapnel on aD6 roll of 4+. Models hit take a Strength 4 hit with no Armour Piercingvalue. Any unit taking casualties from a Martyr must take a morale checkimmediately. Against vehicles the Martyr will usually throw themselvesunder neath its wheels or tracks (or cling onto its engines in the caseof a skimmer) before pulling the pin. An exploding Martyr inflicts an automaticmelta-bomb hit if attacking a vehicle. For obvious reasons, a Martyr whosets off his bomb harness is killed (with no saving throw... ) and themodel is removed! If the martyr is killed there is a chance the bomb harnesswill be set off (either by the attack or by the Martyr with their dyingbreath!) If the Martyr is killed in an assault, the bomb harness explodeson a 4, 5 or 6. If the Martyr is killed by a ranged attack then the bombsdetonate on a roll of 6. The bombs explode as detailed above.
