WARHAMMER 40,000 CODEX:

SISTERS OF BATTLE
Official Update Version 1.1
Although we strive to ensure that our codexes are perfect, sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition, we occasionally print new versions of our rules, which require amendments to be made in older versions of our codexes. When such issues arise, we feel that it is important to deal with them as promptly as we can, and we therefore produce regular updates for all of our codexes. When changes are made, the version number will be updated, and any changes from the previous version will be highlighted in Magenta. Where a version number has a letter, E.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local update, only in that language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction. Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments, and Frequently Asked Questions. The Errata corrects any mistakes in the codex, while the Amendments bring the codex up to date with the latest version of the rules. The Frequently Asked Questions (or FAQ) section answers commonly asked questions about the rules. Although you can mark corrections directly in your codex, this is by no means necessary just keep a copy of the update with your codex. Two Toughness Values Where a model has two Toughness values presented on its profile, one of which is presented in brackets, always use the bracketed value. Ignore the other value entirely. White Dwarf, August 2011, Page 94 Acts of Faith Change the first sentence to: e.g. immediately before the unit moves in the Movement phase, shoots in the Shooting phase, or at the beginning of the Fight sub-phase White Dwarf, August 2011, Page 103 Saint Celestine, Miraculous Intervention. Change the last sentence to: Celestine is not considered to have been killed for the purposes of mission objectives such as Slay the Warlord or First Blood or for the purposes of earning victory points in missions which award them for completely destroying enemy units if she is alive on the battlefield at the end of the game. White Dwarf, August 2011, Page 103 Saint Celestine, The Ardent Blade. Change the first sentence to read This is a power sword that always wounds enemies on a 4+ (unless a lower roll would be required).

AMENDMENTS
Note that this is an older Codex, written for a previous edition of the rules. You will therefore need to consult the Reference section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook for an up to date list of Unit Types and Vehicle Hull Points. Youll also find that some of the weapons in this Codex are written out longhand, rather than using the weapon profile format in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Dont worry these are functionally identical, unless noted otherwise in this document.
