==Tabletop== Ephrael Stern's original incarnation was as an [[Wat|Adepta Sororitas Dreadnought]]. Ignoring that silliness, she and Inquisitor Hand both had [[The Steadfast Pewter Sororitas|miniatures]] and rules as part of the [[Black Library]] character series in the early 2000s. Despite her apparent badassery in the fluff, her rules were fairly lackluster, leaving her [[Canoness Veridyan|slightly better than a standard Seraphim Superior]]. You can still occasionally find the pair on eBay from time to time. ===8th/9th Edition=== {| class=wikitable ! || M || WS || BS || S || T || W || A || Ld || Sv |- | '''Ephrael Stern:''' || 7" || 2+ || 3+ || 4 || 4 || 6 || 4 || 9 || 3+/4++ |} {| class=wikitable ! || M || WS || BS || S || T || W || A || Ld || Sv |- | '''Kyganil of the Bloody Tears:''' || 8" || 2+ || 3+ || 3 || 3 || 5 || 4 || 9 || 6+/4++ |} With the Pariah book for the [[Psychic Awakening]] series, Ephrael finally got some rules again and she is fairly nasty. Firstly '''Sanctity''' is a +1S D2 power sword allowing Ephrael to be the bane of Terminators everywhere, and she also has the '''Daemonifuge''' ability which is a personal smite that [[RAPE|DOES NOT POTW AND CAN NOT BE DENIED]]. Take that [[Eldrad]]. She also comes with the standard 4++ invuln but also has a -1 to hit modifier just to add a further middle finger to Eldar players. Speaking of Eldar, she also comes with Kyganil in one unit, and he is "very helpful". Firstly he gives Stern a 5+ FNP while he's within 3" of her which is quite handy and he has the classic [[Warhammer/Tactics/8th Edition/High Elves|Elf rule]] as he always fights first and can spit out some extra ap-1 attacks. He's just there to allocate wound onto someone other than Stern and he would be a tax for her if it wasn't for the fact that the unit is really cheap at 115 point, which for a non deniable smite and a Marine level character is an absolute steal, even without Kyganil. Both can also deep strike but neither can be an armies Warlord, so you will still need to bring a [[Canoness]] if you run her. ===/tg/ Hombrew rules=== If you yearn for a time with less Mortal wounds and actual psychic powers, here are [[Homebrew]] rules for her and Inquisitor Hand, for your gaming pleasure, courtesy of [[/tg/ Codex Supplement - Faith Militant]]. You can find her old [[Warhammer 40,000 7th edition|7th edition]] homebrew rules [https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B20ZFeyGKxcweG1iSG9scXR0M0k here]. {| class=wikitable ! || Power || Points || M || WS || BS || S || T || W || A || Ld || Sv |- | '''Ephrael Stern:''' || 10 || 200 || 12" || 2+ || 2+ || 3 || 3 || 6 || 5 || 10 || 3+/4++ |} ''Ephrael Stern is a single model armed with: bolt pistol; power sword; frag grenades; krak grenades.

In addition, she has a 4+ invulnerable save. *'''Heretic Saint:''' Ephrael Stern can never have a Warlord Trait. Ephrael Stern can be included in a {{Template:W40kKeyword|HARLEQUINS}} Detachment even though she does not have the {{Template:W40kKeyword|HARLEQUINS}} keyword, and can be included in a {{Template:W40kKeyword|HARLEQUINS}} Detachment without preventing other units in that Detachment from gaining a Masque Form. *'''Premonitions:''' Ephrael Stern re-rolls armor and invulnerable save rolls of 1. *'''The Stern Codex''': Whenever Ephrael Stern would lose a wound as a result of a mortal wound in the Psychic phase, roll one D6; on a 5+ that wound is not lost. *'''Webway Traversal:''' During deployment, you can set up Ephrael Stern in the webway instead of placing her on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases she can teleport into battle – set her up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. '''PSYKER:''' Ephrael Stern can attempt to manifest three psychic powers in each friendly Psychic Phase, and attempt to deny three psychic powers in each enemy Psychic phase. She knows the ''Smite'' power and all powers from the Daemonifuge discipline. Whenever Ephrael Stern attempts to manifest or resist a psychic power, add 1 to her Psychic test or Deny the Witch test.
