Sisters Repentia

The Sisters Repentia squad may not be joined by any other models, with the exception of a Priest, and may never be transported in a vehicle.

At the start of the Movement phase roll a D6 to see if the unit is gripped so strongly by the desire to repent that it must rush towards the enemy. On a 1 or 2 they are subject to Holy Rage.

It is the duty of the Mistress to drive her charges on towards the cleaning fires of battle. While she is alive, two dice are rolled to determine if the unit is affected by Holy Rage. If either dice is a 1 or 2, the unit will advance as described.

Should the Repentia suffer particularly heavy losses they may be gripped by a fervour that exceeds even their normal unhinged state of mine, and should their Mistress fall their righteous anger is likely to be unleashed regardless of the outcome. Should they ever fail a Morale check they will move 2D6" towards the nearest enemy unit, instead of falling back, at the end of the enemy Shooting phase. Should this extra move take them into contact with an enemy unit, they count as havingg charged in the subsequent Assault phase. In close combat, the squad automatically passes any Morale checks it is required to make.
