===Sisters of Sigmar=== [[File:Sisters of Sigmar.jpg|thumb|center|300px]] The Sisters of Sigmar hunt for them in the interest of securing the damned corruption-causers within The Rock, their fortress vault that lies in the middle of the river south of the city. Most came from nobility, sent to bring honor to the family within aristocratic society. They want to see the city cleansed and restored to its former glory, although they've been labeled as witches and possibly the cause of the destruction by the more fanatical members of their faith. They lack ranged attacks, diverse magic, or a heavy option but are the most disciplined fighters and are the most durable force. They also have easy access to buffing and healing magic. Sisters of Sigmar are highly limited in weapon selections, only able to use one and two hand maces, one and two hand flails, Sigmarite Warhammers, and Daggers. Pros: Robust defences thanks to high HP, widespread access to heavy armour and good parry. Very strong support magic. High Leadership and martial stats. The Maiden of Sigmar is less impractical than other Impressives. Cons: Absolutely NO shooting. Limited mobility and tactical flexibility. [[-4 Str|Quite weak damage in melee]]. Poor weapon selection. * '''Novice''': The first of the two Henchmen options of the Sisters of Sigmar, and represent those who have just been accepted into the church as a Handmaiden of Sigmar after receiving years of instruction and study. Come stock with a Shield and a Mace, and can equip up to Heavy Armor. They have modest stats, but at higher levels can equal the fresh recruit Heroes of other factions. It's been noted by players that their character models resemble Shelley Duvall with freckles. * '''Sister''': The other Henchmen option. They are the Novices who have graduated into being Sisters proper (obviously). They come standard dual-wielding one-handed weapons. Their primary difference is a higher maximum level of Agility and Accuracy, although this is only important if you plan on having your characters ultra-specialized or reach high levels (the former is viable, the latter is assuming a lot of investment and luck). Unlike the youthful face of the Novice, the Sisters have a look of gritted determination. * '''Augur''': The first Hero option, although only unlocked for recruitment after your Warband gets a few levels. They were blessed with extraordinary supernatural senses by Sigmar, even visions, and blinded themselves to better tap into that in addition to shaving their heads other than a single very long braid. Augurs can't equip armor, and are stuck with basic Cloth. On top of that, they have a low maximum Toughness, so Augurs are fairly made of glass. They aren't exceedingly powerful either, same weapon options as the other Sisters of Sigmar options and the only combat stat they have a higher maximum in is Agility. They have a massively high potential Alertness. The main strength of an Augur is they can use the Perception ability free (you can't use it if you don't have any movement points left even though it doesn't use any) and it is at a 99% chance to succeed. On top of that they get a fair amount of movement points, and without armor they can move quite a distance for each one. This makes the Augur your scout across the map (although why something as valuable sounding as an Augur is just a scout is a good question). Of interest is the cosmetic customization option that makes their blindfold into Purity Seals. Augur faces are basically just bald blind Sisters. * '''Sister Superior''': The second closest option to a heavy that Sisters of Sigmar get for normal missions. Sister Superiors are the highest ranked Sisters, who are experienced in the art of combat and keep discipline among the lower ranks. They have a high maximum in all categories other than Agility, which is average. They have a nifty ability called For Sigmar! which increases the distance each point of movement their target can move for three turns, letting the Sister Superior hustle your footplodding Henchmen if your Augur or Bertha get in trouble. They fittingly resemble Sisters who have a decade of experience. <gallery> Image:Sister Superior.png </gallery> * '''Sigmar's Purifier''': Sister Superiors who's devotion pushes them to instinctively call on Sigmar's patron Wind of Magic, Light. They have weak spellcasting ability and their combat stat maximums are all higher in addition to Leadership compared to a Superior. They come with Comet of Sigmar default, a targeted fireball attack (which is your ONLY ranged attack). Best to invest in a Rosary to have them use at the start of each skirmish, at it increases their chance to successfully cast a spell (if you haven't learned from Warhammer Fantasy, miscasts SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK). Unfortunately Purifiers are an awkward jack of all trades, when you'd usually only want either a Superior or a Matriarch. Purifiers look like the midpoint in age between a Sister and a Superior. * '''Maiden of Sigmar''': A sister who is zealous and devoted enough to get Sigmar's personal blessing. As the Sisters' impressive-type unit, she is essentially a jacked-up Superior with high stats and maximums across the board (but particularly Strength, Intelligence and Weapon Skill), does not get tired from dual-wielding or two-handing and starts with high ranged resistance and Sinful Speech spell to shut up those magic users. Automatically passes most of mental rolls, at the cost of not being able to voluntary disengage or flee. Not as good as other Impressive units on the one-vs-one basis, her main use is to deal as much damage as possible at once while being supported by fellow sisters. However unlike the other Impressives, she isn't fuckhueg, so she can at least fit through doors and go into buildings. * '''Sigmarite Matriarch''': The large matronly woman in charge of each branch of the Sisters of Sigmar, who answer to the High Matriarch, Bertha. In most cases the Matriarch will be the Leader of your Sisters of Sigmar Warband. They have slightly below average max Agility, but the rest of their stats have much higher maximums especially Leadership, Toughness, and Weapon Skill (which since it influences Parry means you'll almost always want a Matriarch equipped with a Shield). Matriarchs are stronger spellcasters than Purifiers but are also more expensive, and come with Sigmar's Might default which increases damage as well as chances for a critical hit for all friendlies in a bubble around her with a low chance of failure. * '''Bertha Bestraufrung''': The Head Matriarch as well as Abedissa of The Rock, and leader of the Sisters of Sigmar. The direct heir of Sigmar's line, with an iron-clad will that makes her immune to the strongest lures of Chaos (although not the debilitating effects), who commands and intimidates all around her depending on their affiliation with the Sisters. Clad entirely in [[Gromril]] armor, Bertha is the strongest the Sisters can bring. Although she's not immune to being whittled away through trickery or ambushes, Bertha is strong enough to knock Skaven out with one blow, any Daemon with three. She gains special abilities in each mission you can bring her and is available for every storymode mission. Keep your girls alongside Bertha, and you'll plow through anything with ease. <gallery> Image:Bertha.png </gallery>
