“There shall be no mercy for the unworthy.”
– Morvenn Vahl
The Orders are now gathered, and the Sisters of Battle are ready to cleanse His domain from the faithless and the unclean! The Adepta Sororitas join the battlefields of Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge as a new faction later today, bringing new mechanics and strategies into the game. Keep reading to discover more about the new faction and how to collect it.
The Adepta Sororitas join the battle
In the sepulchre of battle, they are the Emperor’s most devoted warriors. In the reliquary of war, where heroes are made and zeal burns brightest, they are His will made manifest. They are the protectors of His creed and the enforcers of Mankind’s purification. With blessed fire, hallowed blades and righteous wrath, they will sing his praises amid a choir of angelic fury.
The Adepta Sororitas rank amongst the most dedicated and unwavering of the Imperium’s forces. Their conviction is unparalleled, and their willingness to kindle light among the darkest of shadows has been pivotal to snatching glorious Imperial victory from the jaws of defeat. These warriors train in body, mind and spirit to deliver the Emperor’s most righteous fury on the battlefield, and will not rest until all blight has been cleansed from His domain.

New Warlords
From the saints and heroes already accounted in the Orders’ stories, three powerful Warlords will take a stand and lead their sisters into battle against the mutant and the heretic:
- Erika Luminas: Palatine Erika is a ferociously zealous and experienced war leader, frequently sent to far-flung crusading missions. She inspires her fellow Sisters to fervent acts of bravery.
- Junith Eruita: Appointed Canoness Superior by the grace of the Emperor himself, Junith Eruita sweeps into battle riding within the Pulpit of Saint Holline’s Basilica wreathed in holy fire.
- Morvenn Vahl: Aggressive, brash and taciturn, Morvenn Vahl leads the Adepta Sororitas from the front in an ancient Paragon Warsuit, smiting her foes with Fidelis and the Lance of Illumination.
New card mechanics
With the introduction of the Adepta Sororitas, three new traits also make their way into Warpforge! Get ready to take down your enemies through sheer conviction with:
- Pray: units with this trait can Pray instead of attacking. You can make a unit Pray by doing the same action as if you were selecting if a unit should attack using their Melee or Ranged value. Instead, there will be a third option to select, which will trigger the Pray ability and make the unit focus on their prayer. A praying unit can lose their focus if they receive any damage, but if they can maintain the prayer until the next friendly turn, the player will earn 1 Faith point.
- Faith: some cards activate additional abilities or change their behaviour if the player has accrued sufficient Faith points. Keep in mind that Faith points are not spent, so to activate these additional effects a player only needs to have accrued the number of Faith points specified in the card.
- Penitence: units with Penitence activate an ability after they receive any damage, even if this damage destroys the unit.
