SISTERS OF BATTLE

The Sisters Got their digital Codex, which is up for pre-order on iPad and eBooks.  Updates to the Codex to bring it in line with 6th edition as well as Warlord traits.

From Games Workshop:


We know that there are still thousands of Sisters of Battle fans with lovingly painted collections of Sisters of Battle miniatures, but there is no easy way to get hold of a codex to use them in your games. We wanted to provide an up to date codex that would be fully compatible with the current edition of Warhammer 40,000 and let players bring the forces of the Ecclesiarchy to the battlefield once more. 

The starting point for this codex was the mini Codex published in White Dwarf (it being the closest to current way of building an army). One thing that you may not know about the White Dwarf codex is that much of the background that was written for it was never put into the magazine due to space restrictions. There is no such issue with digital editions, so much of the background in the digital codex has never been printed before. 


The rules of course, have been updated as well. All the newer Codexes contain army-specific Warlord Traits and unique items, and this Codex is no exception. 


Existing players will also notice a few other changes, particularly the way Acts of Faith work with your army. There are even a few additions that other newer Codexes don’t have, such as Apocalypse Formations and Altar of War scenarios. 

 
 


Well, I hope you all had a great weekend.
