INTRODUCTION

GETTING STARTED

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war…

In the endless conflict raging across the galaxy, the weapons of conquest are turned on the Kaurava system. The series of small planets tilt quickly towards a massive conflict, after a Warp Storm opened up in the heavens, disgorging the loathsome Chaos Space Marines into their midst as other forces move to counter the threat or expand their empires, the Dark Eldar enter the fray. Sadistic hedons, eternally condemned for their excesses, the Dark Eldar flit from world to world, reveling in destruction and torment. Meanwhile, descending from the firmament like wrathful angels, a new army joins the struggle. Highly trained, and carrying the God-Emperor’s favor, the warrior maidens of the Sisters of Battle ready themselves for conflict.

Traversing the Webway paths from dark Commorragh, the Dark Eldar prepare to make a blood sport of the Kaurava battlefield. These corrupted Eldar, blighted forever by a thirst for living souls, move their army of pitiless torturers across battlefields, swift and cruel. Wellequipped to strike with lightning precision, the unlucky few who face them pray for death, for the alternative is to be condemned to endless torment.

Fanatical in their devotions and zealots on the field of battle, the Sisters of Battle consider it their holy duty to make war against the mutant, the alien, and the heretic alike. Able to quickly establish fortifications early in the battle and gifted with powerful Acts of Faith, granted them by the God-Emperor, the warriors of the blessed Ecclesiarchy descend on the Kaurava System. Everyone there is suspected of heresy or taint. Everything must be burnt to the ground.

SISTERS OF BATTLE

The Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas, known informally as the Sisters of Battle, are the female warriors of the Adeptus Ministorum, the church of the Imperium commonly called the Ecclesiarchy. This group venerates the God-Emperor of humanity, who sits immortal on the Golden Throne. Thousands of psykers go to their deaths on a daily basis to sustain the Emperor, and in return for this terrible price he protects the human race from their implacable foes.

The Sisters of Battle are primarily concerned with seeking out and purging heretics and rogue psykers, viewing them as unclean abominations. They are also responsible for converting humans on inhabited worlds to worship of the God-Emperor, which they accomplish through their Missionary units. Their intense zealotry allows them to channel the Emperor’s will into devastating abilities called Acts of Faith, allowing them to quickly turn the tide against dangerous adversaries.

Every Ecclesiarchal warrior wears power armor not dissimilar to their brethren in the Space Marines, though they lack the latter’s cybernetic upgrades or genetic altering. In battle they tend to favor heat and flame-based weapons for their purifying effect. This makes them especially dangerous to infantry units, who crumble easily in direct assault against the Sisters of Battle. Finally, the Adepta Sororitas can call upon their Living Saint, a venerated warrior borne on wings of purity who smites the heretics with bursts of Holy Flame.

SISTERS OF BATTLE UNITS

ECCLESIARCHAL SERVITOR

Ecclesiarchal Servitors act as builders for the Sisters of Battle. They are dispatched first into combat zones to provide essential infrastructure for the Sister’s campaigns and they provide maintenance for damaged vehicles and buildings. They are also commonly deployed following the successful capture of enemy fortifications to dismantle buildings. They are assisted in performing their duties by the cybernetic upgrades their masters provide. With metal servo-arms, they work much faster and more efficiently than any normal human.

MISSIONARY

At the forefront of the Ecclesiarchy crusades, Missionaries travel to worlds where the Emperor is not worshipped and converting the populace. Their tenacity and infinite faith make them excellent scout and support units, as they use Acts of Faith to bolster the strength of the squad they are attached to.

CONFESSOR

An empire as vast and uncaring as the Imperium of Mankind needs strict discipline to keep it on the path to righteousness. This solemn duty falls to the Confessors. These solitary crusaders wander the Imperium, seeking out heresy in all forms and delivering judgment in the Emperor’s name. A superior melee combatant who commands Acts of Faith to damage and stun his enemies, the Confessor is an awe-inspiring addition to any dedicated Ecclesiarchal force.

BATTLE SISTER SQUAD

The holy avengers of the Emperor’s glory, Battle Sisters cause dread in the souls of sinners across the vast galaxy. Highly trained and adaptable to the changing conditions of the battlefield, the Battle Sisters have access to a broad range of weapon upgrades and are more than a match for any Infantry and Heavy Infantry units that dares stand against them.

CANONESS

The overall leaders of the Sisters of Battle, the Canoness commands the Ecclesiarchal forces in battle against the enemies of the Imperium. Her unwavering devotion to the cause boosts the morale of units she is attached to. She is a versatile combatant, skilled at both ranged and melee attacks. Finally, her boundless fanaticism marks her as a Faithful unit, providing the Faith resource while she remains on the battlefield.

CELESTIAN SQUAD

Without the roaring guns of the elite Celestian Squad’s weapons, enemy vehicles would tear through the Sisters of Battle’s forces and legions of heretics would escape the Emperor’s justice. The most skilled fighters of the Order and provided an array of powerful melta weaponry designed to wipe out the machines of war, the Celestian Squad focus on their duties with utmost attentiveness. Celestian Squads supply the Ecclesiarchal commander with the Faith resource.

DEATH-CULT ASSASSINS

When the Adeptus Ministorum needs someone slain, they call upon their daughters of death, the lethal and fanatical Death-Cult Assassins. Preternaturally agile and capable of dodging the most vicious melee attacks, the Assassins slip behind enemy lines slaying commanders and other key personnel. In addition, the Death-Cult’s stealth and observation skills make them ideal for spotting enemy units infiltrating their main force. A few well-placed Death-Cult Assassins in the right locations can cause more confusion and terror than any heavy tank.
