Adepta Sororitas: Chorus of Condemnation Detachment Guide

The detachment rule, Angelic Judgement, gives your Adepta Sororitas Infantry Fly units a target-marking ability: in your Shooting phase such a unit can pick a visible enemy within 12" and 'condemn' it. While a unit is condemned it gains extra detection range (paraphrased as roughly +3"), which plugs into 11th edition's spotting/hidden-unit mechanics and helps your army see and engage targets it otherwise couldn't. In practice this turns your fast jump-pack units into forward spotters: they zip up the board, mark the priority enemy, and let the rest of the army capitalise. It rewards aggressive positioning of fragile fliers, so pair the marking with the detachment's stratagems and Exorcist support rather than expecting the mark alone to win a fight. Exact wording and the detection bonus should be confirmed in the Faction Pack -- the spotting rules are new and fiddly.

The detachment brings three 1 CP stratagems (verify CP in the app). Inspirational Battle Canticles (Command phase) removes battle-shock from a Sororitas Infantry Fly or Exorcist unit -- use it to un-shock a key unit before it needs to act. Harmonised Exorcism (your Shooting phase) lets an Exorcist that targets a friendly-marked Infantry Fly unit's quarry hit harder (paraphrased as +1 to hit) -- the core combo, firing the Exorcist into a condemned target. Devastating Reprise (Shooting phase) grants an Exorcist's ranged attacks Devastating Wounds against a chosen enemy (excluding Monsters/Vehicles), spiking damage into elite infantry. The rhythm is: mark with a flier, then use the Exorcist stratagems to convert that mark into real damage. Don't over-commit CP -- one well-timed Exorcism per turn usually beats spending on every unit.

Two enhancements headline. Clarion of Urgency goes on a Canoness with Jump Pack and lets her unit redeploy into Strategic Reserves at the end of your opponent's Fight phase if it's unengaged -- superb for a hit-and-run spotter that marks a target, then vanishes to safety and comes back where you need it. Symphonic Payload goes on an Exorcist and lets it re-roll the random Attacks (number of shots) of a weapon, smoothing out the Exorcist's swingy volume so your big shooting turn doesn't fizzle on a low roll. Both reinforce the detachment's identity -- mobile spotters plus reliable Exorcist firepower. Confirm enhancement point costs and any per-army caps in the app, and remember Sanctified Orators is the detachment to look at if you want extra 'free' enhancement slots.

This detachment wants fliers and Exorcists. Seraphim and Zephyrim are your Infantry Fly spotters -- fast, able to mark targets and grab objectives, with Seraphim adding flamer/pistol output and Zephyrim the melee edge. A Canoness with Jump Pack leads them and is the natural home for Clarion of Urgency. Exorcists are the payoff piece: the stratagems and marks all funnel damage through their missile fire, so one or two anchor the list. Round out with a Battle Sisters core for objectives and bodies to feed the Miracle Dice pool. Because the fliers are fragile, plan their moves around marking and then surviving, not brawling. Check current points for Exorcists and jump-pack units in the app before locking your list.

Take Chorus of Condemnation if you love the aerial Sisters aesthetic and want a mobile, shooting-forward game built around spotting. As a narrow 1 DP detachment it's often strongest paired with a broader core detachment (a codex all-rounder such as Hallowed Martyrs or Bringers of Flame) rather than run solo, letting you layer the fliers-and-Exorcists theme onto a stable base. It's less ideal if your collection is melee-heavy or light on jump packs and Exorcists. If you'd rather buff a Sacresant brick, see Sacred Champions; for a flexible all-comers base, see Champions of Faith. Full army context is on the Adepta Sororitas guide, and compatible kits are on the boxes index.
