Ecclesiarchy

Homebrew by guitarninja

The Adepta Sororitas, colloquially called the "Sisterhood," whose military arm is also known as the Sisters of Battle and formerly as the Daughters of the Emperor, are an all-female division of the Imperium of Man's state church known as the Ecclesiarchy or, more formally, as the Adeptus Ministorum.

The Sisterhood's Orders Militant serve as the Ecclesiarchy's armed forces, mercilessly rooting out spiritual corruption and heresy within Humanity and every organisation of the Adeptus Terra.

Icon Bearer: When determining control of an objective marker, treat this operative's APL as being 1 higher. Note that this is not a modifier. In narrative play, this is cumulative with the Focused Battloe Honour (see Core Rule Book).

Icon Of Purity (1AP): Until the end of the Turning Point, while this operative is Visible to and within 3" of a friendly ADEPTA SORORITAS operative, that friendly operative is inspired by purity. While an operative is inspired by purity, each time it fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, you can retain one of your attack dice results of 5+ that is a successful hit as a critical hit.

Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly ECCLESIARCHY operative fights in combat or makes a shooting attack, in the Roll Attack Dice step of that combat or shooting attack, if you retain any critical hits, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

Strategic - Extremis Trigger Word:
Until the end of the Turning Point:

Each time a friendly ECCLESIARCHY operative performs a Dash or Charge action, it can move an additional 1" for that action.
Melee weapons that friendly ECCLESIARCHY operatives are equipped with gain the Lethal 5+ special rule.

You can only use this Strategic Ploy once per game.

Until the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly ECCLESIARCHY operative is granted a Martyr Point, one enemy operative within 6" suffers 1 damage.

TacOps
Security: Plant Banner

Reveal: When you perform the Plant Banner action.

Mission Action: Plant Banner (1 AP)

  • Place your Banner mission marker within the active operative's control range, wholly within your opponent's territory and more than 5" from a neutral killzone edge. Operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Banner mission marker.
  • An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if a friendly operative has already performed this action during the battle.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your Banner mission marker is wholly within your opponent's territory and friendly operatives control it, you score 1VP; if that's true and no enemy operatives contest it, you score 2VP instead. Note your Banner mission marker must be in the killzone (not being carried) to score.

Security: Martyrs

Reveal: The first time a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker.

Additional Rules:

Whenever a friendly operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, that marker gains one of your Martyr tokens.
Note that this is only the first time each operative is incapacitated, so if an operative is incapacitated, set back up (e.g. HIEROTEK CIRCLE Reanimation Protocols) and then subsequently incapacitated again, a second Martyr token cannot be gained as a result.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives contest an objective marker that has one or more of your Martyr tokens, you can remove any of those tokens. For each token you remove, you score 1VP; if friendly operatives also control that marker, you score 2VP instead.

You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.

Security: Envoy

Reveal: The first time you select an envoy.

Additional Rules:

As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT in each turning point after the first, select one friendly operative to be your envoy until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase. You cannot select an operative you selected during a previous turning point or an operative that's ignored for the kill op.

Victory Points:

At the end of each turning point after the first, if your envoy is wholly within enemy territory and not within control range of enemy operatives, you score 1VP; if this is true and your envoy has not lost any wounds during that turning point, you score 2VP instead.
