In the grim darkness of the far future, Faith is proven with Sacrifice.<br>
This order seeks to emulate the sacrifice of their founding [[Saint Katherine]] by any means possible.<br>
On the tabletop, they like to die, as you gain power as you take casualties. Intelligent enemies who tend to be selective with what they kill will regret it if they don't finish the job. Even if they do wipe out that unit, they will still have to deal with the fact that they just gave you a new Miracle Die.<br>

'''Order Convictions - The Blood of Martyrs''': At the end of any phase other than the Morale Phase where a unit with this Conviction was destroyed, earn a Miracle Die (this is in addition to Miracle Dice earned from the death of a Character that could use AoF). Additionally, add 1 to hit for any unit which has lost at least one model, ''even if the model is later restored''. 
*An interesting if risky ability which might lend itself to a handful of expendable MSUs backed up by larger units which can have lost models revived by a Hospitaller. This seems like a bit of a double-edged sword, as intelligent opponents will work to wipe entire squads much like Necron Reanimation Protocols...but on the other hand, if they do that they'll still give you those Miracle Dice. 
**The Spirit of the Martyr Sacred Rite seems like it would be a good fit here since it'll give you even more opportunities to get something useful out of a destroyed unit. 

'''Warlord Trait - Shield Bearer:''' +1 to wound Characteristic & +1 Armor Save (Max 2+).
*Pass, use cover to get a 2+ armor save -OR- better yet, don't let your Character get shot at in the first place. Take Indomitable Belief over this.

'''Relics - Martyr's Vengeance:''' Replaces an Inferno Pistol. 12" S9 Inferno Pistol that always rolls 2D6 and picks highest. Not exceedingly useful given how many other good relics Sisters get... but you do wound T8's on 3's (reliably wounding Titans is a thing) and can threaten over-watching with it beyond 6" as long as you have a '6' in your miracle dice pool showing. 

'''Stratagems - Honor the Martyrs (1CP):''' Use when a Martyred Lady character is slain. For the rest of the battle, Order units re-roll 1 's to hit; but only against the unit that killed the character.
*Turns a B-list character into a torpedo that you charge towards your opponents '''Biggest Baddest Deadkilly-est "THING" ''' that they have (i.e. a Titan, Magnus the Red, Chapter Master Smashfucker etc.). Doesn't even matter if they die in the incoming overwatch fire.  
*Combos with "Test of Faith", "Martyred" or "Divine Intervention" Stratagems. KNOW which you are going to play BEFORE you commit. 
**"Test of Faith" probably being the bread winner here. Earns 3-5 Miracle dice.
**Note: You are NOT getting your sacrificial character back with a Hospitaller's rez and using "Divine Intervention" prevents miracle dice/CP gains for having lost that character that turn...
 

'''Special Characters'''

*'''[[Canoness Superior Junith Eruita]]:''' Order of Our Martyred lady unique character that rides atop 'The pulpit of Saint Holline's Basilica'. 10" Fly WS2+ BS2+ S3 T4 W7 A4 Ld9 Sv3+/4++. Armed with TWO Heavy Flamers and a S+2 AP-1 D2 melee weapon,  The Mace of Castigation. Importantly, she allows <ORDER> units re-roll 1's to hit AND wound rolls within 6". Improves ALL ADEPTA SORORITAS INFANTRY "Shield of Faith rolls" by 1, regardless of Order. Very cool. If chosen as your warlord she has the "Inspiring Orator" warlord trait, making her Ld10 and <order> units can use her leadership instead if within 6". She counts as a vehicle that when destroyed explodes on a 6 dealing 1 mortal wound to each unit within 3"... and earns you two Miracle Dice.
**Its highly suggested that you use Seraphim and/or Zephyrim units to escort her around the tabletop (both escort units will have "Shield of Faith" bumped up to 4++).    
**Repentia LOVE being near her too... for obvious reasons.
**Being able to share Ld10 when chosen as your warlord means morale test are a lot less of an issue; therefore its now possible to run larger units to be able to use this order's convictions.
** Has utility even outside of her Order thanks to her ability to boost Shield of Faith rolls by one. 

'''Tactics'''

*Its surprisingly effective to run Repentia units with this order, each time your opponent kills a unit of them you earn TWO Miracle Dice.
**Consider taking a sacrificial vanguard detachment Martyr Repentias to fill up Miracle Dice pools.   
*Plasma is cheaper than melta, Is better suited against elite troops/bikes AND has the much needed RANGE that sisters generally lack. Granting an army wide re-roll 1 's to hit is just the thing for plasma weaponry effectiveness(honestly everything likes re-rolling 1's). So If you wanted to run a Sisters list with plasma in it here you go.
