Retributors are taken from the most level headed of Battle Sisters and organised into squads of their own, where they may select from the holy trinity of Sororitas weapons: the [[Heavy Bolter]], [[Heavy Flamer]] and [[Multi-Melta]].

	One might consider them analogous to [[Devastator Squad\|Devastator Marines]], but crucially the role of Retributor is not transitional. Though it may take many years for a battle sister to advance to the rank of Retributor, they are not expected to later graduate into a different role when she has served sufficient time; nor is she expected to rotate between positions in order to keep her other skills sharp or to fill short-falls in mission deployment. If she is trusted enough to bear a heavy weapon and trained enough to use it, then that is what she does full-time.

	Interestingly, this means that the heavy weapon bearers in "normal" Battle Sister squads are all Retributors who furnish their squadmates with the benefit of their experience and additional weaponry. Furthermore this is their normal method of deployment; where they are trusted to prioritise their own targets or lay down suppressing fire as necessary to support the Sisters in their squad.

	When taken in regular Battle Sisters squads they are viewed no differently to the rest of their squad from a mechanical perspective, aside from the Heavy weapon. Where they use the same acts of faith as their squad. Though care must be taken to consider how their weapon effectively supports the squad they are attached to, as a Heavy weapon can slow the squad down. Without the ability to ''Combat Squad'' like Space Marines can, having one Retributor becomes less useful in larger squads where having a Multi-Melta renders the rest of her sisters redundant when she needs to shoot at a Tank. So a Heavy Flamer might well be the best option.

	When gathered together in Retributor squads, you actually only get four Retributors with the rest of the squad being normal battle sisters and a Sister Superior. However the Act of Faith changes to allow them to add ''Rending'' to their ranged attacks. This obviously makes them more effective against high value targets and can make Heavy Bolters and any regular bolters from supporting "normal" Sisters into a frightening shitstorm for that one turn due to sheer volume of bullets.
