Our Martyred Lady

 Order Conviction – The Blood of Martyrs: Gain an extra Miracle dice at the
end of any phase where a unit with this conviction was destroyed. In addition,
add one to hit rolls for any unit with this conviction that has lost any models.
 Warlord Trait – Shield Bearer: The warlord has an extra wound and adds
one to their save characteristic (so not invulnerable saves) to a max of 2+.
 Relic – Martyr’s Vengeance: Relic inferno pistol. 12″ range, S9 and always
gets to roll 2d6 pick highest for damage.
 Stratagem – Honour the Martyrs (1CP): Use when an enemy unit kills a
CHARACTER from this order. Units from this order re-roll 1s to hit against that
enemy unit for the rest of the battle.
Our Martyred Lady has often been used as the “default” order in official art and so
forth, so it’s frankly a bit strange that they’ve ended up somewhat underwhelming.
Their order trait isn’t bad but stacks up poorly against Valorous Heart for builds going
wide with Sister squads, which both kind of want you to do. OML offers you a
comeback mechanism if your stuff starts getting beat up – but Valorous Heart just
stops you getting beat up in the first place, and ends up way more powerful because
of it. The second part of the trait here is also somewhat outside your control to set
up, and really wants you to be running full sized squads of stuff – but the first part
rewards you for running lots of small squads!
The rest of the stuff here is kind of mediocre too. Defensive buffs on random
characters aren’t super worth it – this army wants to be spending those slots on
utility effects. The pistol is cute but incredibly skippable, and the strat is just not that
valuable when it’s easy to have Canonesses bouncing around.

The one notable thing OML does have going for it is access to Junith Eruita, a super
canoness on a floating pulpit thing. Her rules are remarkably restrained for a brand
new named character in a marquee faction, but she does bring some useful stuff to
the table, notably having a re-roll 1s to wound aura as well as the standard hits one
and having a stack of +1 to Shield of Faith built in (which works for other <ORDERS>
as well).
