Not to poop on the party, but I can't say I agree with the concept of a Veteran Repentia, a Repentia Canoness, or a Penitent HQ. They're essentially death sentences, especially being strapped into a Penitent Engine.

Similarly, I think it is possible to fight your way out of the Repentia, but at that point you've earned back the right to be a Battle Sister, you wouldn't become a "Veteran Repentia".

It just seems a little weird.

Repentant Canoness Special Character:

Spoiler:

The Sister Katterin Magdelene is a Contritioness who was second in command to Valeriya in the Order of the En dernier Défi before it was damned, and one of the few surviving members of the original group.
Wielding twin Eviscerators (one heavier and dedicated to destroying armour on vehicles, the other finer with twin chains for rending flesh), she marches on, leading her forces in their endless torment.

Contritioness

Spoiler:

Army: Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle)
BG: A Contritioness is a Canoness repentant, for when the mighty have fallen, their experience may still be required.
Wielding an eviscerator and wearing 'cut down' Power Armour, so she may still feel the pain of her position, while living long enough to lead her force against the foe.

BG: Valeriya the Damned - The unforgiven one.
She who gave the command that damned an entire Order of the Faithful.
Interred in a specially modified Penitent Engine designed to be her tomb, extending her suffering rather than ending it quickly, she lives in internal torment - the only small respite felt each time she rends the enemies of the Imperium.
Valeriya's four armed Penitent Engine bears an Iron Maiden style tomb encasing the front, protecting her from a merciful death.

Penitent Defenders:

Spoiler:

Army: Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle)
BG: Penitent Defenders are meant to be sort of 'rear guard' engines.
Unique to the Damned Order Penitent, they have some longer ranged firepower to allow the army to have some defence against rear, or flanking attacks.
Charging forward with their fellow Penitents, but with long range sensors and programmed to target any distant threats with shoulder mounted Heavy Bolters.

Not much to these ones. Elite slot Penitents with some Heavy Bolters strapped on, because it makes sense. (At least to me)

Repentia Superior

Spoiler:

Army: Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle)
BG: Repentia Superior are longer served and more scarred than their sisters, maybe bearing some form of bionics, and more heraldry.
Likely they could have been redeemed and rejoined ranks, but they don't see themselves as such so continue on their path.
And for those within the Order Penitent, there's no chance for redemption anyway, just a few more days fighting the enemy.

If successful, do not remove any models in the unit if they are killed before they have attacked.
Instead place them on their side.
After all other models involved in the assault have made their attacks, any mortally injured model placed on its side gets to make its full attacks, with no bonuses for charging.
After these attacks have been made, any models on their side are removed as casualties.

Penitent Avengers

Spoiler:

BG: Penitent Avengers are one of several engines of damnation unique to the order.
They bear some of the more disturbed or heretical members of the Order.
Even more tortured and worked up than the usual victim, the Penitent Avengers charge the enemy first, heralding the Damned Orders arrival in battle.

With two Shoulder Mounted Heavy Bolters and vertically firing back mounted Zenith Missiles.

While Disengaged, the Penitent Engine Thunderer can move normally.
If assaulted the Penitent Engine Thunderer automatically disengages.
Thunderer Missiles may only be fired if the unit is Deployed.
If there is an enemy Flyer, Skimmer or Winged Monstrous Creature on the field at the start of the turn, the Penitent Engine Thunderer must deploy.

A Zenith Missile is a weapon with the following profile:
Zenith Missile: Range-48", Str-7, AP-2, Type-Heavy 1, Armourbane, One Shot.

This one is a Defender, but boasts 4 Skyspear Missiles without Savant Lock to provide some relatively reliable (effectively BS3), AA (Average pen result of 14, with +1 to damage).
in return, it can't move when firing at these, as Penitents aren't smart enough at this point, so software says STAND HERE AND SHOOT THAT.
