Saint Celestine

While this unit contains a Celestine model, in your Command phase, if this unit is below its Starting Strength, either one destroyed Geminae Superia model or up to D3 other Bodyguard models are returned to this unit.

While this unit contains one or more Geminae Superia models, Celestine has the Feel No Pain 4+ ability.

The first time this unit’s Celestine model is destroyed, roll one D6 at the end of the phase. On a 2+, set that Celestine model back up on the battlefield, as close as possible to where it was destroyed and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, with its full wounds remaining.

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 a part 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

Each time this unit makes an ingress move (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

Each time an attack is made with a [TORRENT] weapon, that attack automatically hits the target.

Each time an attack is made with an [IGNORES COVER] weapon, the target cannot have the benefit of cover against that attack (13.08), including from rules that give a model or unit the benefit of cover (e.g. Stealth).

Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.  Mortal wounds inflicted by [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each critical wound; any remaining mortal wounds inflicted by that attack are lost.  Example: An attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon with a D characteristic of 3 results in a critical wound against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 mortal wounds. The first 2 mortal wounds are sufficient to destroy 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining mortal wound* is lost.
