Unit Abilities
View Army Rule
If your Army Faction is ADEPTA SORORITAS, each unit from your army with this ability can perform one Act of Faith per phase. This is done using Miracle dice.
Gaining Miracle Dice
If your Army Faction is ADEPTA SORORITAS, you gain 1 Miracle dice:
■ At the start of each battle round.
■ Each time an ADEPTA SORORITAS unit from your army is destroyed.
Each time you gain a Miracle dice, roll one D6. The number you roll is the value of that Miracle dice. This value cannot be changed or re‐rolled, unless a rule specifically states otherwise. Keep your Miracle dice to one side – this is your Miracle dice pool.
Performing an Act of Faith
Before making a dice roll for a model or unit from your army with the Acts of Faith ability, if you have one or more dice in your Miracle dice pool, that unit can perform an Act of Faith. If it does, select one of the dice from your Miracle dice pool to substitute that dice roll (if a roll involves more than one dice, e.g. a Charge roll or Battle-shock test, only a single dice can be substituted). The dice that is being substituted is not rolled; instead, the value of the selected Miracle dice is used as if it had been rolled (this counts as an unmodified dice roll of that value for all rules purposes). Each Miracle dice can only be selected for substitution once. Once all Miracle dice substitutions have been made, remove the chosen Miracle dice from your Miracle dice pool, and roll all remaining, unsubstituted dice that are apart of the dice roll. You can use Miracle dice when a unit performs an Act of Faith for any of the following types of dice roll:
■ Advance roll
■ Battle-shock test
■ Charge roll
■ Damage roll
■ Hit roll
■ Saving throw
■ Wound roll
Once per battle, after this unit has performed an Act of Faith, you gain 1 Miracle dice.
*Designer’s Note: Place a Cherub token next to the unit, removing it once this ability has been used.*
At the end of your Command phase, if this unit is within range of an objective marker you control, that objective marker remains under your control until your opponent’s Level of Control over that objective marker is greater than yours at the end of a phase.
