Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Ministorum (section)

=====Generic=====
*'''[[Canoness]]:''' The Canoness is an excellent all-rounder HQ. She has BS2+ WS2+ W5 A4 Ld9 Sv3+/4++ with the ever-popular "re-roll 1s to hit" aura. Her wargear options are a bit bizarre - check out her datasheet for full details but she has to take weird and seemingly arbitrary combinations of weapons and other wargear. Generally, you'll want to run one of two basic builds.
**Backfield Support: Take the Beacon of Faith warlord trait and the Litanies of Faith relic to maximize your miracle dice, then put her wherever she's most useful with her aura buffs, probably next to your most powerful shooty units. Take the Rod of Office for additional buffs when you can't reach a unit.
**Melee Specialist: Run her with a Blessed Blade that you upgrade to the Blade of Saint Ellynor or the Blade of Sacrifice, Martyr's Strength, and Righteous Rage if you are running Martyred Lady, and the Canoness becomes either a powerful duelist who can go toe to toe with characters twice her cost or a mortal wounds machine able to reliably kill stuff that cost up to 8 times her own cost, like Papa smurf himself. Miracle dice can keep her in the fight far longer than her save profile indicates, and she can dish out serious damage. If you want tankiness over killing, consider the Iron Surplice of Saint Istaela instead of the relic Blade. Power Fists will hate having to wound on 4s instead of 2s.
*'''[[Missionary]]:''' Best used where his War Hymn will make a difference, or near hordes to make sure they don't run away. Arco-Flagellants (as their D3 attacks come from their weapons and not their statline), Repentia Squads, etc. will all benefit from the added attack. Maxed at 1 per detachment, which doesn't matter much as his abilities don't stack and you can take Preachers as an Elites version. He's your cheapest HQ option that also acts as melee buffer to anything nearby, and a good support for your Canoness. 
**Funnily enough, his default statline gives him a power maul, a serious beast that can help topple most marines and orks, especially with the Psalm of Righteous Smiting.
*'''Palatine:''' A new model introduced with the Piety & Pain Boxset taking the role of the [[Primaris Lieutenant]]. Her aura gives you the ever-valuable "re-roll 1s to wound" aura so typical to lieutenant-types, but her armaments are pretty barebones: a bolt pistol and power sword with the option to replace the pistol with a plasma pistol. This means she's better support than a Canoness (the same aura but better because it works on flamers, and for fewer points) but a worse beatstick, so if you have both, stick the Palatine in the back for support and either have the Canoness do the same or take a murder loadout and get closer to the enemy.
