New Adepta Sororitas Codex & Miniatures This Week
May 31, 2021 by brennon
Games Workshop might be riding high on the news of Warhammer Age Of Sigmar but they also have plans for Warhammer 40,000 too. The new Adepta Sororitas Codex is going to be available to pre-order from this weekend alongside a host of reinforcements.

For grimdark veterans, you'll be familiar with what's included in a new Codex. For those yet to really dive in deep, this will include all of the new rules, statistics and more that you'll need to play the Adepta Sororitas on the tabletop. You'll also get a good dose of lore allowing you to chart the progress of the Adepta Sororitas as they battle new foes on new frontiers.
New Leaders & Protectors
A new book comes with new miniatures and that's where Morvenn Vahl comes in. As a new High Lord Of Terra, she is looking to buck a bit of a trend. Instead of working in the shadows, she is very much intent on continuing her role as a battlefield commander.

To help her in that endeavour, she gets to wear this custom made Paragon Warsuit which looks pretty ace I have to say. She is very much like a little walking church which seems very fitting for the over-the-top world of Warhammer 40,000.
Talking of Warsuits, you will also be able to buy the new Paragon Warsuit unit for your army.

Not as cool looking as the unique version above but still pretty neat. They very much have that Matrix vibe to their design but with plenty of added grimdark for good measure. I could see people who love converting having fun with these and giving them more dynamic poses.
You can also call on the brutal efficiency of the Celestian Sacresants when you dive into the heat of battle.

With their coffin-like shields and deadly power mauls, these ladies seem like they don't take any nonsense! Much like the Paragon Warsuits, they are well suited to a bodyguard role alongside your chosen leader. I like that they also have their bolt pistols tucked behind their shields allowing them to get stuck into the fighting and shoot anyone who tries to run away.
Fleeting Treasures...
It wouldn't be the release of a new Codex without some additional accessories. Best of luck trying to get your hands on these...

It's a real shame that those dice will probably sell out way faster than you think. The designs on them are very nice indeed, especially with the Inquisitorial "I" there as the six. If you're a fan of the Adepta Sororitas then you've got plenty to get stuck into with this new Codex.
Are you going to be checking these releases out?

ok, I know, never bring realism into a game of make-believe but…. they stick squishy, vulnerable bodies in a big tanky exo skeleton…. and leave the heads exposed. One headshot and *boom* dangerous tank walker is out of commission… At least give them helmets!
You can give them helmets if you like. Comes with alternative options in each set. Some of them just look cooler without them though.
Yes, dead corpses are “cooler” than living ones…. oh, *that* cool. I don’t know anything about that. Also @brennon I’m sorry that I always go on about G’Wullu but…. this is my echo chamber and G’Wullu is this big dog… they should be able to take some heat. Please don’t feel the need to reply to every on of my “old grognard rants” 😉
you could pretend there’s a big force field or something … the Eldar use to do that I think.
it does look silly though with them squishy humies strapped to those machines as a nice big bullseye.
Yes but the Eldar are also designed in a way that says “here be powerful forcefields”. Humans always look like “we need a big ass tank and some inches of steel to protect our fragile shells”. Well… no my cup of coffee I guess 😉
true … but at the same time the nuns are covered in all sorts of shit that surely must be a danger in close combat.
As a result the fluff doesn’t really match the character designs and it rarely if ever does match the profiles for a given unit …
That ‘squishy target’ is not in the unit profile of these things.
No critical hits to shut them down in one shot.
I quite like them… but where do their feet go? In the knee joints? Once I spot a weird physical anomaly in a mini design, it becomes the only thing I can see.
Based on what I’m seeing in the design, their feet come to right above the knees
Nuns on the warpath Nice.
I very much like Celestian Sacresants. Trey are what SoB needed. Armored close combat troops. Over all I can say that I am excited for new SoB codex and new miniatures that are released with it.
Definitely going to get a box of Paragon warsuits. They’ll make really good cogpunk automata with a few changes here and there.
I was all ready to groan about this when I saw those silly Dreadknight-esque walkers, but the Sacrestans really pulled it back! The Sisters could really benefit from a stronger, tankier melee unit than the Repentia, and they look much nicer.
