Triptych of Judgement

15 pts

The three windows of this sacred artefact display three aspects of the God‑Emperor in judgement over mortal souls. No warrior of faith will countenance failure beneath its threefold gaze.

ADEPTA SORORITAS* model only. Each time a model in the bearer’s unit makes an attack, you can ignore any or all modifiers to that attack’s Ballistic Skill or Weapon Skill characteristics and/or any or all modifiers to the Hit roll.

Mark of Devotion

30 pts

A fresh oath brand burns in this champion’s flesh, its heat remaining miraculously undimmed and its searing pain focusing their devout wrath.

ADEPTA SORORITAS* model only. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of the bearer’s melee weapons. While the bearer’s unit is Righteous, add 2 to the Attacks characteristic and add 1 to the Damage characteristic of the bearer’s melee weapons instead.

Eyes of the Oracle

10 pts

Having torn them from the sockets of a heretical witch, this warrior of faith keeps these shrivelled orbs sealed in a miniature reliquary about their neck. They believe that – tormented by holy imprisonment – the traitorous eyes guide their aim towards other infernal champions.

ADEPTA SORORITAS* model only. The bearer’s weapons have the [PRECISION] ability. Each time the bearer’s unit destroys an enemy CHARACTER model, you gain 1CP.

Sanctified Amulet

25 pts

Belief radiates out from this blessed icon, forming a holy circle of abjuration that holds at bay the unclean and leaves this champion free to do their duty to the God‑Emperor.

ADEPTA SORORITAS* model only. Enemy units that are set up on the battlefield from Reserves cannot be set up within 12" of the bearer.
