In the grim darkness of the far future, the path of pain tempers the strongest Faith.

These sisters are always in a state of imposed penance, as they feel responsible of the [[Age of Apostasy]] and believe it is their solemn duty to repay the Imperium for all the trouble they caused it. They stand, alone, unbending and unbreakable against their foe, bearing the brunt of fire and powering through it, till the battle is won.

On the tabletop, they are great at defending and holding positions, as with the right buffs and positioning, you'll be sitting with a 2+ armour save, ignoring all AP-1 weapons and reducing AP-2 to AP-1. Combined with the 5+ FNP against Mortal Wounds (about the one thing that will make them fall like rain), these girls can dig into an objective like an Alabama tick, infuriating even the most stoic of [[Imperial Fists]] player with how immovable they are.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

*'''Order Conviction - Stoic Endurance''': 5+++ against mortals for models with this {{WH40Kkeyword|<ORDER>}}. In addition, attacks against them cannot re-roll to wound. 
**This is maybe the best overall {{WH40Kkeyword|<ORDER>}} for your sisters if you are running many infantry units. It helps mitigate one of Sisters' biggest weakness, which is staying power as an army. And is what Shield of Faith should have been all along, not a 6++ on power armoured models. With Armour of Contempt offering the old AP reduction to all models, you simply become even tankier.
*'''Warlord Trait - Impervious to Pain''': 5+++ FNP to normal wounds, also regain 1 lost wound on performance of an Act of Faith. 
*'''Relics - Casket of Penance''': -1 Toughness to enemy units within 3" of a model with this relic, which also deals -1 Strength if the unit has the {{WH40Kkeyword|Chaos}} keyword. This is actually kind of handy on a Canoness who wants to be in the thick of it anyway, and since it's a Toughness debuff instead of a to-wound buff, it'll even help your Ecclesiarchy Battle Conclave units or allies.
*'''Stratagems - Blind Faith  (1 CP):''' Use at the start of your Shooting or Fighting Phase. A single {{WH40Kkeyword|Order of the Valorous Heart}} unit may ignore to-hit modifiers. Nice for swatting those thrice-damned xenos flyers or stealth-spammers.
*'''Tactics'''
** Find an objective. Plop your sisters on it, and refuse to move. Bonus if it's in cover. Out-stay Imperial Fists. Remember to bring bonuses to your Invulnerable save.
