Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Kill Team: Adepta Sororitas Novitiates

Product Information

If you take out two enemy models with a weapon with the Inferno special rule, score 1VP. If the enemy leader is taken out with a weapon with the Inferno special rule, score 1VP.

Emperor’s Protection– When a friendly Novitiate suffers a mortal wound, spend a point to ignore a mortal wound. Auto-Chastiser (1 EP)– You can reroll any or all 1s when you shoot or fight, but if you roll a 1 for a second time you take a mortal wound. For 1EP this is a bargain, with a decent risk/reward. Use it on models where rerolls will pay off and they won’t have a source from somewhere else. Plus the short story collection Ahriman: Exodus , and the audiobook Ahriman: Key of Infinity . It’s quite the epic tale! Blessed Rejuvenation: When a friendly NOVITIATE operative is activated, it regains D3 lost wounds. This Act of Faith can be used a maximum of two times in each activation. Protect Assets – A strong choice when facing horde teams, especially if Loot is the primary mission, as you can expect to find a large number of enemy operatives camping objectives for points. Conversely stay away from this when up against any Elite teams. Using your Sister Superior you can combo with another operative to Incapacitate two enemies before they have a chance to respond. B against Horde, F against Elites. Heavily Primary Mission Dependent.There is so much variety in the team I had problems choosing, but this is the selection I’d take against Tau or similar guard equivalents. Select an objective marker more than 6” from your drop zone. If you hold it at the end of a turn score 1VP, if you hold it at the end of the battle score 1VP. Another interesting mix, with two Talons of the Emperor teams, Void Dancers, Intercessors, Legionnaires, Navy Breachers, and two Blooded teams. Again, a healthy mix that offers more variety. Allows the operative in question to perform any Act of Faith for free. This still falls under the restrictions for Acts of Faith, but you can basically look at this as 1-3 free Faith Points. This can be especially useful on the Condemnor or Penitent when you REALLY need a critical hit. C I decided to put these two together because they basically go hand in hand. As I mentioned a majority of your operatives having auto pistols is the closest thing to a major hindrance this team has, and these two ploys combined is basically the equivalent of giving everyone a boltgun for the Turning Point. In the case of Eyes it also allows your Superior’s Plasma Pistol to be fired without range limitation. Obviously the downside here is having spend 2 CP per Turning Point you wish to employ these ploys in conjunction, but thanks to the extra CP of the new Critical Ops, AND your ability to lean on AoF for things like Command Re-Rolls you should be able to conserve your CP for the appropriate moment to maximize either of these ploys. B

In the B Tier we have factions which haven’t seen top 8 finishes but are close to being able to make it. They may need a little help and have problems in too many matchups to consistently win without a discrepancy in player skill to overcome the faction differences. The Novitiates are Battle Sisters-in-training, full of youthful zeal and a burning desire to prove themselves worthy of joining their power-armoured comrades. Their main sprue can be used to assemble a full team equipped with either autoguns or autopistols and razor-sharp swords, led by an experienced Sister Superior. When it comes to deciding on your team for any particular match up a Novitiate player is basically decided who to leave home as there are 11 specialists and 10 spots with the Purgatus having the option of being taken twice. Operatives such as the Hospitallar , Condemnor , and Purgatus are basically auto-includes while operatives such as the Reliquarius may find their abilities too niche and others such as the Duelist , redundant, when compared to the Preceptor or Penitent . Faith points can be subtracted so that friendly NOVITIATE operatives can perform Acts of Faith listed below. Each Act of Faith will specify when it can be used, its effect and how many Faith points you must subtract from your total to use it. If you cannot subtract the required Faith points from your total, you cannot use that Act of Faith. The Novitiates version of the Dakka Boy these operatives are straightforward and deadly. Armed with the Ministorum Flamer, +1 damage on crits and Inferno 1 on top of a normal Flamer, these operatives would already be a strong choice. Their Burning Advance (1 AP) ability takes them to the next level by allowing them to perform a Dash followed by a Shoot Action. Additionally, they have a ploy that further increases their damage making them one of the deadliest operatives in the game, and a nightmare on Into the Dark maps. Novitiate PronatusSanctified Rounds– Add 1 to the damage of all autopistols and autoguns for the entire turn. This turns them into bolter equivalents. Combined with Eyes of the Emperor it makes autopistols pretty spicy.
