Acts of Faith Before making a dice roll for a model or units from your army with the Acts of Faith ability, you can choose to use one or more of the dice from your Miracle dice pool instead. For each individual dice that is being rolled as part of the dice roll, you can select one Miracle dice from your Miracle dice pool to be substituted in place of that dice. The dice that it is being substituted for is not rolled, and instead the value of the chosen Miracle dice is used as if it had been rolled. Once all Miracle dice substitutuions have been made, remove the chosen Miracle dice from your Miracle dice pool, and roll any remaining, unsubstituted, dice that are a part of the dice roll. You can use Miracle dice to perform an Act of Faith for any of the following types of dice rolls:
Advance, Charge, Hit, Wound and Damage rolls; Saving throws; and Deny the Witch and Morale tests
Shield of Faith Models in this unit have a 6+ Invulnerable Save (6++). Also, each model or unit with this ability can attempt to resist one a psychic power per Psychic phase by taking a Deny the Witch test, rolling one D6 instead of 2D6.
Sacred Rites If every unit in your army has the ADEPTA SORORITAS and/or ADEPTUS MINISTORUM Faction keywords, this units gains an ability depending on which Sacred Rite is active for your army.
Determine which Sacred Rite is active for all units from your army with this ability at the start of the battle. To do so, after deployment but before the first battle round begins, select one Sacred Rite from the following table to be active. Alternatively, you can roll two D6 to randomly generate two Sacred Rites to be active (a duplicate result has no additional effect, but is considered to be active for the purposes of the Battle Rites Stratagem). In either case, Sacred Rites are active until the end of the battle.
1. Hand of the Emperor:
When a unit with this Sacred Rite Advances, add 1 to the Advance roll. When you make a charge roll for a unit with this Sacred Rite, add 1 to the result.
2. Spirit of the Martyr:
When a model wih this Sacred Rite is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing the model from play. On a 5+ that model can either shoot with one of its ranged weapons as if it were your Shooting phase, or make one attack with one of its melee weapons as if it were the Fight phase (if the model has a damage table, use the bottom row of that table when shooting with that ranged weapon or resolving that attack with a melee weapon).
3. Aegis of the Emperor:
When a Deny the Witch test is taken for a model with this Sacred Rite, add 3 to the roll.
4. Divine Guidance:
When resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon by a model with this Sacred Rite, on an unmodified roll of 6 the Armour Penetration characteristic of that weapon is improved by 1 for that attack (e.g. AP 0 becomes AP -1).
5. The Passion:
When resolving an attack made with a melee weapon by a model with this Sacred Rite, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.
6. Light of the Emperor:
When a Morale test is taken for a unit with this Sacred Rite, you can re-roll the dice.
