Sisters of battle
Common Abilities and Options
Holy Martyrs:
The first time each Turning Point a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative becomes wounded or is incapacitated (whichever comes first), you gain a Martyr point. At the start of a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE activation, you can spend a Martyrdom point to use one ACT OF REDEMPTION. You cannot use more than one SISTERS OF BATTLE per activation, and their effects are as follows:
-Emperor's Light Until the end of this operative's activation, add 1 to its APL stat. -Blessed Rejuvenation This operative regains 1d3+1 lost wounds. -Drown in holy fire This operatives Ranged weapons have the ceaseless weapon rule.
Front line of the Emperor:
Once during each of this operative's activations, it can perform the Place Marker, Pick Up Marker, or a mission action for 1 less AP.
Fly:
Whenever this operative is performing the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, it can FLY. If it does, don’t move it. Instead, remove it from the killzone and set it back up wholly within a distance equal to its Move stat horizontally of its original location (in a killzone that uses the close quarters rules, e.g. Killzone: Gallowdark, this distance cannot be measured over or through Wall terrain). Note that it gains no additional distance when performing the Charge action. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, and unless it’s the Charge action, it cannot be set up within control range of an enemy operative.
Cherub:
-Whenever determining control of an objective marker, treat this operative’s APL stat as 1 lower. Note this isn’t a change to its APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.
-Whenever this operative has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Vantage terrain).
-This operative cannot use any weapons that aren’t on its datacard, or perform unique actions that are not on its Data Card.
Stim Incense:
If a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLER operative begins its activation within 3 inches and visibile to this operatige add one inch to its movment stat until the end of its activation.

Purity Seals
Once per turning point, when a friendly ECCLESIARCHY operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.
Icons of Faith
You can use up to two ACTS OF REDEMPTION during a turning point, but each one must be different.
Sanctified Rounds
Whenever a friendly operative is shooting with a relic Bolt Pistol or Bolt Weapon , if you spend a Faith point, that weapon has the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule until the end of that sequence
Boot Knives

Name ATK HIT DMG
BootKnives 3 4+ 3/4
Ploys
Divine intervention
Firefight PloyUse this Firefight Ploy when an attack die would inflict normal damage on a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative. Ignore the damage inflicted from that attack die.
Penance Through Death
Firefight PloyUse this Firefight Ploy when a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative is incapacitated in combat by an enemy operative. Before that friendly operative is removed from the killzone, you can strike with one of your remaining attack dice before it’s removed from the killzone.
Rightous Fury
Firefight PloyUse this Firefight Ploy when a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative is activated. Until the end of that operative’s activation, it can perform two Shoot actions during that activation if a boltgun, bolt pistol, or storm bolter weapon is selected for each of those shooting attacks. If it does not perform any Shoot actions, it can instead perform two Fight actions.
Blinding Aura
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is performing the Shoot action and selects a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative as the valid target. Until the end of that activation/counteraction, while that friendly operative is more than 2" from that enemy operative, your opponent cannot select it as a valid target. If there are no other valid targets that your opponent can select, that action ends (it’s not cancelled, so that operative has still performed it). Note this ploy has no effect if it’s not the selected operative, e.g. if it’s a secondary target from the Blast weapon rule.
Divine Shield
Strategy PloyUntil the end of the Turning Point, each time a shooting attack is made against a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative, in the Roll Defence Dice step of that shooting attack, if you retain any critical saves, you can re-roll one of your failed saves.
Emperor's Guidance
Strategy PloyUntil the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative fight or shoots, 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.
Vengance for the Martyred
Strategy PloyUntil the end of the Turning Point, each time a friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operative is granted a Martyr Point, one enemy operative within 6" suffers 1 damage.
Redemption Through Perseverance
Strategy PloyYou can ignore any changes to the Movment stats of friendly SISTERS OF BATTLE operatives from being injured.
Tac Ops
Sweep & Clear
Seek And DestroyReveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, or the first time a friendly operative performs the Clear action (whichever comes first).
Additional Rules:
When an enemy operative that contests an objective marker is incapacitated, that objective marker gains one of your Swept tokens (if it doesn't already have one) until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
Mission Action: Clear (1 AP)
- An objective marker the active operative controls is cleared for the turning point.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, or while within control range of an enemy operative.
Victory Points:
- At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives control any objective markers that have one of your Swept tokens, you score 1VP.
- If this is true and any of those objective markers are also cleared, you score 2VP instead.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Dominate
Seek And DestroyReveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated by a friendly operative.
Additional Rules:
Each time a friendly operative incapacitates an enemy operative, that friendly operative gains one of your Dominate tokens.

You cannot score more than 3VP from this op per turning point.
Rout
Seek And DestroyReveal: The first time you score VP from this op.
