Editing Sisters Repentia (section)

==== 8th Edition ====

And...then 8th edition dropped. Okay...no more rage. They get Shield of Faith, and Acts of Faith. They have a 3+ WS...except Eviscerators give 'em a -1 penalty. So, 4+. Two attacks, one wound, armor save is 7+. Their eviscerator, though? That makes it. Strength X2, for 6 total means they hit a Marines equivalent on 3+, AP-2 means they can negate a Nob's armor save. But leaves them less then that all-important x2 toughness, and just one short of equaling a Dreadnought's armor. All in all? They're cheap. And the new Detachments system means slots aren't as important.

Meanwhile? The Mistress of Repentia now takes up her OWN slot! Her Neural whips gain +1 to wound if she has higher leadership...but since she's 5+ on a Marine Equivalent? That just makes her decent. AP-2 means she almost nullifies weaker armor, and she has some grenades. Still...she can reroll failed Shield of Faith checks, which is awesome. But JUST her. And, ANY Soritas within six inches can reroll Advance, Charges, AND Hits...And she herself counts. Pity her problem isn't HITTING.
