Description

A psychic power is resisted by a unit from your army with the AoF ability (without performing an AoF to do so)

Beacon of Faith – If this warlord is on the field at the start of your turn, generate a miracle die. This will literally always be useful and a solid choice, especially for a Heroine in the Making trait. ACanoness [3 PL, 50pts]: Bolt pistol, Chainsword, Frag & Krak grenades, Relic: Beneficence, Warlord, Warlord Trait: 2. Righteous Rage

Pricing is an issue. At first I thought, well, that's 25 EUR for the statue and 60 EUR for the building itself. That is not cheap, but okay-ish. But when I compared the price with the Basilicanum, which is 5 EUR cheaper, covers statues as well and even more sprues, it is a bit odd and feels out of place. For my taste, a 65 EUR price tag would have been a better choice, as from the value it is closer to the Sector Imperialis Sanctum. I guess if you combined the Battle Sanctum and the Imperialis Sanctum, that would make for a very impressive ruin of a church, with the side stanchions and all. This new Battle Sanctum comes in a large boxed set and costs 85 EUR. It covers 6 sprues in total, combining already available as well as new designs. You have three large regular wall and floor tile sprues, a small one with toppers and railing, and a large one featuring a statue of Saint Celestine. This kit covers the rules for the Battle Sanctum as well, providing boni for the Adeptus Ministorum. Games Workshop revisits the Sector Imperialis terrain range for Warhammer 40.000 and adds a Sororitas themed building to it - the Battle Sanctum.Why this needed to be so complicated no one is quite sure, but overwhelmingly the current preferences in lists are either to keep them cheap with just the chainsword (which Bloody Rose can turbo-charge to Beneficence) or buy them a blessed blade. The other options are a bit fringe – the null rod is a genuinely powerful effect in the 10% of games it’s relevant in, but it’s difficult to justify throwing points after that, and the brazier is cool but extremely unnecessary (though at least broader in what it can affect). The other side is basically mirrored, with a damaged, a regular and long wall pieces, and joined to the other side.

This ability is common to almost all ADEPTA SORORITAS units in the army except Mortifiers. Models with this ability get a 6+ invulnerable save. In addition, one model in the unit can attempt to Deny the Witch once per turn, but the roll is taken on 1D6. Holy Rage (1 CP): In your Charge phase, any single ADEPTA SORORITAS unit that advanced can charge. Great with Celestine, Repentia, Zephyrim and Mortifiers, but it’s a little sad that you can’t use this on Penitent Engines or Arco-Flagellants. Still, especially because you can also max-out advances and charges with Miracle dice in a pinch, this is great. AThe battle sanctum is a very prominent terrain piece and the addition of new angled pieces, gives you more creative to work with. The octagons and angled walls could be build before, but caused a lot of work with the floors. So that is benefitial. Now we just need easier or more prominent access to that sprue. Next step is the roof for the second floor. Once again here are the top lights used to connect smaller, damaged floor tiles to the larger ones. I have to say, this construction is not well planned. The sides of these floor pieces are not entire flat and have a bit of play. So a substructure or more connectors would have been a logical and practical addition, to provide a less fragile build. As the parts themself are quite massive, they will sink while the glue settles.
