Sanctified Orators plus Army of Faith: the Adepta Sororitas Character List

Your army has a fixed enhancement allowance. That allowance is the constraint on character-heavy Sororitas lists, because the faction's enhancements are unusually strong and you always want more of them than you can fit.

Sanctified Orators' detachment rule breaks that constraint. Enhancements selected from it do not count towards the total number of enhancements in your army. So its Hagiomnifex is, in effect, free capacity.

Army of Faith is the detachment that most wants more enhancements, because it has four worth taking and three of them generate Miracle dice:

So you have a detachment that spends Miracle dice twice as fast, a set of enhancements that refill them, and a second detachment that lets you carry one more enhancement than the rules would otherwise allow. The three parts feed each other.

Triptych of the Macharian Crusade (20 pts): each time the bearer uses an Act of Faith to substitute a saving throw, that saving throw is successful, irrespective of the value of the Miracle dice used.

Read that against Sacred Rites, which lets every unit perform two Acts of Faith per phase, and the interaction is obvious: the bearer's unit can force two automatically successful saves per phase, using whatever dice you like.

And it fixes the pool's structural weakness. Miracle dice are rolled when gained and keep that value, so roughly half your pool is 1s, 2s and 3s that you never want to spend. The Triptych makes those your best dice, because a 1 substituted into a save succeeds exactly as well as a 6 does. Dead capacity becomes live capacity.

Meanwhile the Hagiomnifex (25 pts, from Sanctified Orators, and not counting against your allowance) sits on a second character as a once-per-turn menu. Sermon of Intolerance, which makes battle-shock rolls automatically succeed, is the pick that most often matters, because a battle-shocked unit has Objective Control 0 and holds nothing.

Remember you gain a dice every turn, not every battle round. This list spends aggressively and refills quickly, which is the opposite of how the Sisters are usually played.

Characters, and more of them than feels reasonable. A [Canoness](/40k/boxes/warhammer-sisters-of-battle-adepta-sororitas-canoness-new) or [Palatine](/40k/boxes/adepta-sororitas-palatine-new) for the Litanies of Faith, which is restricted to those two. A [Ministorum Priest](/40k/boxes/adepta-sororitas-ministorum-priest) as the cheapest efficient body for the Hagiomnifex. [Intranzia Fraye](/40k/boxes/adepta-sororitas-intranzia-fraye-dogmata-superior), one of the pack's three new datasheets, is the newest character option.

Dice quality support. An [Imagifier](/40k/boxes/warhammer-sisters-of-battle-adepta-sororitas-imagifier-new) re-rolls Miracle dice as you gain them. The [Triumph of Saint Katherine](/40k/boxes/warhammer-sisters-of-battle-adepta-sororitas-the-triumph-of-st-katherine-new), whose Solemn Procession the pack rewrote, gives a dice gained at the start of the round a flat value of 6 while it is on the battlefield.

The bodies. Sacred Rites applies to every Adepta Sororitas unit, so several [Battle Sisters Squads](/40k/boxes/warhammer-sisters-of-battle-adepta-sororitas-battle-sisters-squad-new) extract more from it than one elite block would.

One pack change to plan around: the Rules Updates moved Dialogus, Dogmata, Hospitaller and Imagifier from Leader to Support, which changes how you attach them.

And the one real restriction on this pairing: the Hagiomnifex excludes PENITENT units. That does not bite here, because nothing in Army of Faith gives a model the PENITENT keyword. It only becomes a problem if you were also running Penitent Host, whose Catechism of Divine Penitence hands a Canoness, Palatine or Ministorum Priest that keyword. In this pairing you are free.

This is SprueSentry strategy commentary, not official rules. Written against the official Adepta Sororitas Faction Pack version 1.2, legal for matched play from 26 August 2026, with Detachment Point costs, force dispositions, Unique Tags and enhancement points from the official Munitorum Field Manual version 1.3, read on 27 August 2026. Adepta Sororitas were part of the 26 August reissue, so the pack was current on the day this was written. Enhancement points are dataslate-volatile; the Warhammer 40,000 app is the final word.
