What changed for Adepta Sororitas in 11th edition

11th edition handed the Adepta Sororitas a mixed pass rather than a clean win. A cluster of heavy hitters and vehicles got notably cheaper — the Exorcist, Paragon Warsuits and the Dominion and Retributor squads all dropped — so firepower-led lists are easier to fit than they were at the end of 10th. Against that, a few characters climbed, led by a steep jump on Junith Eruita, and three brand-new characters join the roster.

Summary

• 22 units repriced, 3 new, 9 unchanged
• Biggest drop: Dominion Squad (-30)
• Biggest rise: Junith Eruita (+25)
• Detachment Points: 2 / 3 / 4 at Incursion / Strike Force / Onslaught

Detachments

The headline mechanical change is Detachment Points. Detachments are no longer free: each one now costs points out of your army total, scaling with game size — 2 at Incursion, 3 at Strike Force, 4 at Onslaught. That's a new budgeting decision layered on top of your unit choices, and it's the main thing to relearn coming from 10th. For the Sisters three new detachments join the returning 10th-edition options — Chorus of Condemnation, Sacred Champions, and Sanctified Orators — with none removed, so beyond those the genuinely new overhead is the Detachment Points themselves.

New in 11th: Chorus of Condemnation, Sacred Champions, Sanctified Orators. None removed.

Points changes

The overall picture is 14 units repriced — six up, seven down — with three new characters and everything else held steady. The good news lands on the big kit: the Exorcist drops 30 points and the Paragon Warsuits come down 30 across the three-model unit, while the Dominion Squad falls 20 and the Retributor Squad 15 — a real discount on the army's shooting backbone. The Battle Sisters Squad shaves 5 as well. Pushing the other way, Junith Eruita is the standout riser at +35, with the Hospitaller up 15, the Triumph of Saint Katherine up 10, and the Castigator and Seraphim Squad each up 5. The three new characters — Inspiring Devotee at 50, Militant Commander at 75 and Reliquant Knight at 100 — have no 10th-edition equivalent. A couple of units are priced per squad size, so check the tier you actually field.

Biggest increases

Are Junith Eruita still worth it?

The single biggest increase in the faction, up 35 points from 80 to 115. That's a heavy tax on a named character, and it changes the calculation from "auto-include" to "earn her slot". If her aura and presence anchored your 10th-edition list, she's still the same centrepiece and the points won't scare you off; if you were fielding her as cheap filler, that era is over.

Are Morvenn Vahl still worth it?

Up 15 points in 11th — now 200 versus 185 in 10th.

Are Aestred Thurga and Agathae Dolan still worth it?

Up 10 points in 11th — now 80 versus 70 in 10th.

Frequently asked questions

Did the Adepta Sororitas get better in 11th edition?

It's genuinely mixed. The army's heavy weapons and vehicles got cheaper, so gunline-flavoured lists can field more for the same points than at the end of 10th — that's a clear plus. But several characters went up, a few sharply, so support-heavy builds pay more than they used to. On balance the faction came through the transition in a solid spot, with the savings concentrated where the Sisters do their damage.

What got cheaper for Adepta Sororitas in 11th edition?

Quite a lot of the shooting. The Exorcist dropped 30 points and the Paragon Warsuits came down 30 across the unit, while the Dominion Squad fell 20 and the Retributor Squad 15 — the army's firepower core got meaningfully more affordable. The Battle Sisters Squad also shaved 5. Those cuts are the reason a Sisters list built around massed guns is easier to assemble in 11th than it was before.

How do Detachment Points work for Adepta Sororitas in 11th edition?

Detachment Points are a new 11th-edition layer: your chosen detachment now costs points out of your army total, scaling with game size — 2 at Incursion, 3 at Strike Force, and 4 at Onslaught. Every Sisters detachment pays the same flat rate, so it's a fixed overhead you budget for before you start picking units, regardless of which detachment you run.

Why did Junith Eruita go up so much in 11th edition?

Of the whole faction she took the largest single increase, jumping 35 points from 80 to 115 — the clearest sign that 11th's pricing team saw her as underpriced for what she brings. It's the flip side of the vehicle discounts: while the Exorcist and Paragon Warsuits got cheaper, a handful of characters absorbed the correction. She's still a strong pick, but she's now costed like the centrepiece she is rather than a bargain. The new arrivals — Inspiring Devotee, Militant Commander and Reliquant Knight — give you fresh character options to weigh against her.

Is now a good time to start an Adepta Sororitas army?

It's a reasonable moment. The army's firepower — the Exorcist, Paragon Warsuits and the Dominion and Retributor squads — is cheaper than it was, so a shooting-led starter force is easier to build toward, and the range is stable with three new characters added rather than anything cut. If the Sisters have caught your eye, the 11th-edition points make an early collection friendlier to assemble — see the Starting an Adepta Sororitas Army guide for a buying order.
