CommandMovementShootingChargeFight

The pious believe that, in their moment of greatest need, the Emperor protects.

When:

Any phase.

Target:

One ADEPTA SORORITAS CHARACTER unit from your army that was just destroyed. You can use this Stratagem on that unit even though it was just destroyed.

Effect:

You can discard 1‐3 Miracle dice. At the end of the phase, set the last destroyed model from your unit back up on the battlefield, as close as possible to where it was destroyed and not within Engagement Range of any enemy models. Roll one D3, adding 1 to the result for each Miracle dice you discarded. That model is set back up with that number of wounds remaining (up to its starting number of wounds).

Restrictions:

You cannot select SAINT CELESTINE as the target of this Stratagem. You cannot select the same CHARACTER as the target of this Stratagem more than once per battle.

Suffering is a staple for the Adepta Sororitas, and a martyr’s fate only brings glory to the God-Emperor.

When:

Start of the Fight phase.

Target:

One ADEPTA SORORITAS INFANTRY or ADEPTA SORORITAS WALKER unit from your army.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time an enemy model within Engagement Range of your unit selects its targets, it must select your unit as the target of its attacks.

One ADEPTA SORORITAS VEHICLE model from your army with the Deadly Demise ability that was just destroyed. You can use this Stratagem on that model even though it was just destroyed.

The death of a Battle Sister only stirs the survivors to fight harder to exact swift vengeance.
