Hello. really enjoyed the Shield of Baal books but sadly despite the large amount of space devoted to the Adepta Sororitas there are no rules to represent the named characters and formations decribed and highlighted.

My first humbe attempt at rectifiying that............I have tried to capture the fluff in the rules as much as possible so those described may not be "opimal" builds

Act of Faith: The Passion

It was then that the Lictors attacked……

Atop the hull of the exorcist missile she had chosen for her pulpit, Magda Grace suddenly pitched forwards with a cry of surprise. A long limbed beast loomed out of the shadows of the tank’s missile array to stoop over her, blade-like limbs stabbing down fast.
They clanged from metal alone, for the cannoness had rolled with the impetus of the beasts previous blow instead of fighting it. She clattered down the front if the exorcist to land in a loose crouch. Without looking she drew her engraved bolt pistol, reached back over her head and pulled the trigger.

Her instincts were true. The bolt plunged right between the creature’s eyes and detonated, painting the front of the Exorcist with contents of its cranium.

Working on the Formations next ......

thoguhts and comments welcome

Good stuff.

Can't wait to see more

Cute.

Yes, Sisters are a little short on special characters, so new ones are welcome. I haven't read Shield of Baal -- was your descriptive bit about Magda on the Exorcist a quote from that book or something you made up yourself?

Thanks - not had time to look at formations etc - they pretty much describe them and show pics but no rules ;(

That's a direct quote from the 1st book - she is pretty bad ass
