The eBook version has just been made available on the Black Library for download if you have ordered it.  Unsure on the interactive iOS version, but current indications are it has not yet been made available.

 

I have confirmed it is legit and not an error, I am looking at the codex right now.

 

Ave Imperator, ladies and gents.

The given units in Jacobus, Saint Celestine.  Rhinos even went up.   Storm bolters, evisorators, heavy bolters.  Exorcist got a little price reduction, so did the immolator, and the option to switch weapons was free.  Nice change.  Simicularus imperium, and heavy flamers also a price drop.  

 

Overall the army is a tad less "expensive" in terms of points.  I just see this as the white dwarf with warlord traits, point adjustment, then adding relics, and redoing the act of faith system to a more reliable once per game deal.   No mention of sky fire, not even a flyer.  So we are stuck with defense lines still, and or allies to get a flyer of our own.

 

That is why I said overall i am disappointed.

Just read that Celestine now can get up once. Hope the opponent doesn't bring S6 weapons.

 

Unless she has a better invulnerable save or Eternal warrior, that is going to be the death knell to her in a lot of armies.  I think most peeps will just go cheap and cheerful now, and max out on Exorcists and immos

Can confirm these 100% but no one called bull**** on them yet:

 

 

Shield of faith gives 6++ and adamantium will now.
No more faith points, acts are one use only and passed on a leadership test.
Priests get war hymns that give some pretty good buffs on a leadership test.
Rhinos up 5 points
Immolators down 5 and multi-melta upgrade is now free
Exorcist down 10 (holy :cuss)
Celestine up to 135 and weapon now gives S+2 AP3, also she gets back up with full rules.
Jacobus up to 100 and banner is worse.
Celestines down to 14 and get furious charge AoF
Command squads get unliimted specials and no longer have to take hospitaler and dialogus, dialogus can take relics.
Repentia down to 14 and get fnp 3+ as AoF
Battle sisters as seen on black library site but AoF now gives preferred enemy
Seraphim special weapons halved in price, AoF gives shred
Dominions get 4 specials in 5 woman squads

 

Dominions' new act of faith apparently lets them ignore cover instead of twin-linked. Don't know what Hymns are yet.

 

 

Warlord Traits:
1 - Executioner: Warlord gains Fear.
2 - Indomitable: Warlord and unit with Shield of Faith have 5+ invulnerable save.
3 - Pure: Warlord and unit reroll failed Deny the Witch
4 - Rage: Warlord gains Rage.
5 - Beacon: All units within 12" of Warlord use her leadership on Acts or Hymn tests.
6 - Orator: Friendlies within 12" gain Stubborn.

  • The Warlord Traits are really good.

I'm surprised at the lack of anti-air. Not even an act of faith? Not even giving Exorcists the option to Skyfire? Weird...

Adamantium Will is a good rule to have.

Command squad in a rhino is kind of scary now. Imagine if four plasma guns rolls up on you? Ouch.

Seraphim with Shred... Shred in melee, or Shred at range, somehow? I always viewed them as more of a short-range harassing unit than a melee unit. Ranged Shred with hand flamers could be... scary.

War hymns are melee buffs that priests can give, reroll to wounds, reroll failed saves, or priest smash.

 

Relics

are pretty standard, blessed blade is back, S+2 AP3 master crafted,

cloak lets you reroll failed armour saves and shield of faith saves,

mantle gives eternal warrior.

edit: never mind

 

hmm mantle canoness is Back with blessed blade (or the axe....axe could be relly nice given the low I and the AP2.....and cheap edit: OOOO Eviserator?)

 

stupid that you can't give her a jump pack....so stupid...still.

 

What about the flame weapon on the immolator, any changes like the old fire on the move or torrent?

Its basically the same act as before which let us reroll failed to wound rolls in shooting.

    Rather meh, but not horrible either.

    I'm surprised that you're surprised.

    Currently around 90% of psykers cast buffs so it doesn't make any difference, although it's nice to have for free.

    We don't have plasma. And if they took away their heavy weapons then they're less scary now.

  •  

    Seraphim with Shred... Shred in melee, or Shred at range, somehow? I always viewed them as more of a short-range harassing unit than a melee unit. Ranged Shred with hand flamers could be... scary.

    I'm pretty certain it will be shooting only.

Noone mentioned anything so I'm guessing no. Still, the point decrees on it and the Exorcist combined with the point increase on the Rhino makes me think that they probably want to sell the kits.

 

Also, I doubt you want to invest so many points into a Canoness outside really friendly games.

 

I only wish there was a gun relic to make a shooty Canoness.

So, overall it's a worse codex for Sisters no doubt.

 

However lets look at the bright sides:

 

Best unit improvement goes to Dominions who got a price drop, can take 4 meltas and get ignore cover for a turn.

 

Most comically overpowered weapon now goes to the condemner boltgun. Seriously, it's hilarious. Prepare for floods of Eldar/Nid/Chaos tears as they realise what this upgrade for every sister superior can do.

 

Unless I'm misreading it (please can someone else confirm this), IT DOES PERILS OF THE WARP TO ALL PSYKERS IN THE UNIT IF IT HITS.

 

Now re-read that and laugh at the Eldar/Chaos/Nid fits of rage that you are about to unleash. Hit a scream-star unit twice, and all the heralds are dead, no saves allowed!

 

I'm counting the seconds until GW realise how awesome that is and changes it.
