New sisters e-codex - jaqenhgar - 21-10-2013
New sisters codex rules from warseer:
Faith is now once per unit per game (twice if the squad pays extra for a simulacrum - but if that model dies the squad loses all faith). Requires an Ld test or the faith is lost.
Celestine - price up, weapon is now S5AP3, once only ressurection(which can fail)
Jacobus - price up, stats down, banner is fearless & counterattack, and once per game unit he leads can use their faith power again
Kyrinov - dead and buried
Canoness - unchanged, martyrdom means that when she dies sisters auto-pass Ld tests for a turn.
Confessor - dead and buried
Priests - down in price, grants fearless and hatred to squad, can make an Ld test in assault to grant a bonus (reroll saves, reroll wounds, or smash for the priest)
Command squad - down in price, faith is fleet/move through cover, every model can buy a special, heavy or power weapon (the latter at marine costs)
Battle conclave - one per priest, arcos are cheaper, cultists and crusaders are swords only
Celestines - cost as much as marines, once per game faith test to get furious assault, basically pointless
Repentia - down in cost, lost FnP, once per game can gain 3+ FnP in assault phase
Battle sisters - as before but minimum squad 5, faith is once per game preferred enemy
Dominions - as before but 4 specials regardless of squad size, faith is once per game ignore cover
Seraphim - as before but no more eviscerator, cheaper flame pistols, faith is shred with no reroll of faith tests, no seraphim pistol rules
Retributors - as before but rending is once per game, heavy bolters up in cost, heavy flamers down in cost.
Exorcists - as before but cheaper (yes, I know)
Penitent engines - a little cheaper, 3 attacks, no bonus attacks
Rhino - a little more expensive
Immolator - a little cheaper, no more special ammo, multimelta upgrade free

Sounds like priests especially Jacobus now are much better, penitent engines are worse, faith got a slight nerf and most things reduced in points a bit. Celestine can only resurrect once, personally makes more sense to me but not sure Dave will like it....what do you think Dave?

It looks OK, still no Aircraft or Anti-Air.
