______________________________________________________________________________________

Sigmarite Warhammer                                                                                    Common*/Cost 15 gc

One of the traditional weapons of the Sisterhood, the warhammer echoes Ghal-Maraz, the great hammer of Sigmar himself.

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

SPECIAL RULES

Concussion: Hammers are excellent to use for striking your enemy senseless.  When using a hammer a roll of 2-4 is treated as stunned when rolling to see the extent of a model’s injuries.

            Holy Weapon: Each warhammer is blessed by the High Matriarch herself before it handed to the Sisters.  The warhammer has an additional +1 Strength bonus (+2 total) against Possessed, Deamonic or Undead models (model type, not warband member).  Only Matriarchs and Sister Superiors may ever carry two Sigmarite Warhammers.

Steel Whip                                                                                                Common*/Cost 10gc

Another weapon unique to the Sisterhood is the Steel Whip, made from barbed steel chains.  The weapon can be as much as 12’ long and some of the Sisters have acquired a truly punishing skill with this weapon.

Range: Close Combat;  Strength: As user;  Special Rules: Reach, Cannot be parried, Difficult to use

SPECIAL RULES

Reach: A model armed with a steel whip may attack enemies up to 4” away in hand-to-hand combat.  As this is a hand-to-hand attack, other models armed with weapons that have the reach special ability or that are armed with a pistol that can be fired the first round of combat may attack the Priestess back (as long as they are not in base contact with another enemy model).

Cannot be parried: A steel whip is 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, buckers or staffs.

Difficult to use: A model armed with a steel whip may never use a second hand weapon or buckler in her other hand because it requires all her skill to wield it correctly.  She may use a shield as normal though.

Heroes

1 Sigmarite Matriarch

60 gold crowns to hire           

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 and armour: The Sigmarite Matriarch may be equipped from the Sister of Sigmar equipment list.

SPECIAL RULES

Leader: The Sister of Sigmar Sigmarite Matriarch is the Warband’s Leader and follows all the rules for Leaders.

Prayers: A Sigmarite Matriarch is a servant of Sigmar and may use the Prayers of Sigmar as detailed in the Magic section.

Skilled Veteran: The Sister of Sigmar Sigmarite Matriarch may choose one skill from those on his table.

           

0 – 3 Sister Superior

25 gold crowns to hire

            Each of the Sister Superiors 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 Sister Superiors are entrusted with maintaining the faith and fervour 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.

            Weapons and armour: Sister Superior may be equipped from the Sister of Sigmar equipment list.

           

0 – 1 Augur

40 gold crowns to hire

            The blind Augers 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 revered by the Sisterhood.  Unlike the rest of the priestesses, they shave their heads, save for a single long braid.

            Weapons and armour: Augurs may be equipped from the Sisters of Sigmar equipment list but the Auger never wears armour.

SPECIAL RULES

            Blesses Sight: An Auger can re-roll any failed rolls during the game (to hit, wound, climb, resist magic spells, dodge, etc.).  They cannot re-roll injury results however, nor does this ability extend to between game events (Serious Injury table, Searching for rare items, etc.).

            In addition, an Auger can use her Blessed Sight to help the Sisterhood when they are searching the city for wyrdstone.  If the Auger is not put out of action in the battle, you may roll 2 dice for her in the exploration phase and pick the die you want as the result.

Henchmen

Sigmarite sisters

25 gold crowns to hire

Sigmarite Sisters know that their entire order is shamed in the eyes of their Lord Sigmar.  Every one of them is sworn upon His alter to pacify the city and thereby redeem themselves.  Whatever the perils and horrors that stand in their way, they will be overcome!

Weapons and armour: Sigmarite sisters may have equipment from the Sisters of Sigmar Equipment list.

0 – 5 Novices

15 gold crowns to hire

By tradition, the Sisters draw their recruits from 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 enough devotion to duty and innate sense if honor.  Few though the recruits  may be, they must endure several years as a Novice 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 SKILLS

            Sign of Sigmar: The Sister is favored by the great god Sigmar.  Possessed or Undead opponents lose 1 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 her first failed Rout test.

            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 make all alone checks.
