While the rest of Mordheim fell upon the spell of madness, The Sisters of Sigmar offered prayer after prayer. Before the Holy Hammer fell upon the corrupt city, the Maidens of Sigmar gathered in their fortified temple. As survivors of the two-tailed comet, they are in a Holy Mission: to search Mordheim for the Wyrdstone to make sure its damaging powers are kept from humanity's corruptible hands.

Heroines

1 Sigmarite Matriarch; 70 gold crowns (dowry to the temple)
The Sigmarite Matriarchs, of whom there is an inner circle of twelve, are answerable to the High Matriarch of the temple. Each must lead a warband of Sisters in frequent searches of the city in order to purge the ruins. Matriarchs are driven by a zealous devotion to the Cult of Sigmar and a relentless determination to redeem the Sisterhood in His eyes.

Weapons/Armor: The Sigmarite Matriarch may be equipped with weapons and armor chosen from the Sisters of Sigmar Equipment list.

Special Rules:

  • Leader: Any warband member within 6" of the Sigmarite Matriarch may use her Leadership characteristic when taking any Leadership tests.
  • Prayers of Sigmar: The Matriarch has studied the Prayers of Sigmar. See the Magic section.
0-3 Sister Superior; 35 gold crowns (dowry to the temple)
Each of the Sisters Superior is a long-serving priestess of the Cult of Sigmar, well versed in the rituals of the temple and an example to the younger Sisters and Novices. The Sisters Superior are entrusted with maintaining the faith and fervor of the order. Any peril or foe that may lurk in the ruins of Mordheim is as nothing compared to the wrath of a Sister Superior.

0-1 Augur; 25 gold crowns (dowry to the temple)
The blind Augurs of the Sisterhood are blessed beyond their comrades. By giving up their sight they have gained something far more, second sight – a gift from their patron god. Only a very few are marked this way, and they are greatly revered by the Sisterhood. Unlike the rest of the priestesses, they shave their heads, save for a single long braid.

Weapons/Armor: The Augurs may be equipped with weapons chosen from the Sisters of Sigmar Equipment list. They never wear armor.

Special Rules:

  • Blessed Sight: An Augur can re-roll any failed characteristic tests (climbing, resisting spells or any other reason), and any rolls to hit in close combat or shooting. You must accept the second result. In addition, an Augur can use her Blessed Sight to help the Sisterhood when they are searching the city for wyrdstone. If the Augur is not put Out Of Action in the battle, you may roll two dice for her in the exploration phase and pick either dice as the result.

Henchmen

(In groups of 1-5)
0+ Sigmarite Sister; 25 gold crowns (dowry to the temple)
Sigmarite Sisters know that their entire order is shamed in the eyes of their Lord Sigmar. Every one of them is sworn upon His altar to pacify the city and thereby redeem themselves. Whatever the perils and horrors that stand in their way, they will be overcome!

0-10 Novices; 15 gold crowns (dowry to the temple)
By tradition, the Sisters draw their recruits only from the most noble houses of the Empire, and families consider it a great honor to have their daughter accepted into the order. Only maidens of noble lineage can be relied upon to have the devotion to duty and innate sense of honor. Few though the recruits may be, they must endure several years as Novices during which time their devotion will be tested to the full. All are eager to prove themselves worthy to be the handmaidens of Sigmar.

Special Weapons

Sigmarite Warhammer; 15 gc; Availability: Common (Sisters of Sigmar only).
One of the traditional weapons of the Sisterhood, the Warhammer echoes Ghal-Maraz, the great hammer of Sigmar himself.

Range Strength Special Rules
Close Combat As User +1 Concussion, Holy
Special Rules:

  • Concussion: Warhammers are excellent at striking people senseless. When using a Warhammer in close combat a roll of 2-4 is treated as Stunned when rolling on the Injury chart.
  • Holy Weapon: Each Warhammer is blessed by the High Matriarch herself before it is handed to the Sisters. The Warhammer has a +1 bonus on all to wound rolls against any Possessed or Undead models. Note that you will still need to score a 6 before any modifiers in order to cause a critical hit. Only Matriarchs and Sister Superiors may carry two Sigmarite Warhammers.
Steel Whip; 10 gc; Availability: Common (Sisters of Sigmar only).
Another weapon unique to the Sisterhood is the steel whip, made from barbed steel chains.

Range Strength Special Rules
Close Combat As User Cannot be Parried, Whipcrack
Special Rules:

  • Cannot be Parried: The steel whip is a flexible weapon and the Priestesses use it with great expertise. Attempts to parry its strikes are futile. A model attacked by a steel whip may not make parries with swords or bucklers.
  • Whipcrack: When the wielder charges they gain +1A for that turn. This bonus attack is added after any other modifications. When the wielder is charged they gain +1A that they may only use against the charger. This additional attack will ‘strike first’. If the wielder is simultaneously charged by two or more opponents they will still only receive a total of +1A. If the wielder is using two whips at the same time then they get +1A for the additional hand weapon, but only the first whip gets the whipcrack +1A.

Sisters of Sigmar Special Skills

The Sisters of Sigmar may use the following skill list instead of the standard skill lists.

  • Sign of Sigmar: The Sister is favored by the great god Sigmar. Possessed or Undead opponents lose their first attack against the Priestess in the first round of hand-to-hand combat (down to a minimum of 1).
  • Protection of Sigmar: The Sister has been blessed by the High Matriarch. Any spell which would affect her is nullified on a D6 roll of 4+. Note that if the spell is nullified it will not affect any other models either.
  • Utter Determination: Only the Matriarch may have this skill, which allows her to re-roll any failed Rout tests.
  • Righteous Fury: The Sister feels cold fury and utter contempt towards any evil that pollutes the soil of the holy Empire with its presence. The model hates all Skaven, Undead or Possessed warbands and all models in them.
  • Absolute Faith: The Sister puts her faith in Sigmar, and faces dangers unflinchingly. She may re-roll any Fear tests and does not have to test if she is fighting alone against several opponents.
