Version 1.1 Unit Stats The following pages include unit stats which were based on or inspired by: • Games Workshop rules for Space Crusade and Warhammer 40,000 • Codex Space Crusade by Usagi3 (Translated from French to English) • MortiS-the-Lost and others on The Lost and The Damned Forum • Merkur-Spiele at star-quest.de • Imperium Battles by General Freyberg's Battle Group • Personal whim After a quarter century of occasional consideration to gameplay and being exposed to bits and pieces of random information, the author of this document has been exposed to a considerable amount of random information pertaining to game play related to Warhammer 40,000, Space Crusade and similar games. This accumulation of information has likely influenced the following unit stats. If this information was sourced, inspired by or just very similar to yours, I apologize for not crediting you. These unit stats should be considered guidelines and were intended for a very simple rule set designed for easy play. It would be very easy to make any number of arguments regarding these stats. If you really don’t like something, feel free to change what you don’t like for your own personal use. If you feel strongly that a rule is flawed, please let me know.

Range 12 Sister Superior (Squad Leader) Movement Armor Fire Hand to Hand Value Notes 6 2 10 Can invoke an Act of Faith Version 1.1 Sisters of Battle aka Adepta Sororitas Act of Faith The Sisters of Battle use their blind faith in the Emperor to perform acts of faith. The Sisters of Faith begin with a maximum of 6 Faith Points. If a fellow Sister in their squad is slain (Martyrdom), 1 Faith Point is earned. The maximum number of Faith Points a squad can have at any time remains 6. By spending a Faith Point, the Sisters can attempt to invoke an act of faith. This Faith Point is used regardless of whether the act is successful or not. A single Act of Faith can be attempted during each player’s turn. This means that the a player with Sisters of Battle units can be invoke and Act of Faith during that player’s turn and another invocation can be attempted during your opponent’s turn, such as the Spirit of the Martyr to save a Sister. As the will of the Emperor is impenetrable, spending a point of faith is not enough to guarantee the success of the expected miracle. Therefore, a test must be performed with performing an Act of Faith. This test consists of rolling a die (red or white, depending on the act of faith). If the dice shows a result other than zero, the miracle happens. A sister may repeat an act of faith on a following turn if she wishes to do so. The 4 possible acts of faith are: • Hand of the Emperor : + 1 red die in Hand-to-Hand Combat for the entire squad. Test: Roll 1-3 on . • Divine Guide : +1 red die for ranged combat for the entire squad. Test: Roll 1-3 on . • Passion : the entire squad attack twice, before or after the movement, in contact or remotely. Test: Roll 1-2 on . • Spirit of the Martyr : while a Sister seems to have been killed, she is miraculously found to be unscathed. If it was the Mother Superior, she returns to the number of points of life she had just before the attack that nearly killed her. Test: Roll 1-2 on . • Light of the Emperor : the unit becomes Fearless; if the unit is fleeing, they automatically regroup. (Advanced rules) Test: Roll 1-2 on . These rules are based on the rules for the Sisters of Battle in the 3rd Edition Witch Hunters Codex for Warhammer 40,000. .
