Order Convictions: All Adepta Sororitas units with this ability, and all the models in them, gain an Order conviction so long as every unit in their Detachment that is from an Order is from the same Order. The conviction gained depends upon which Order they are from. If you Order does not have an associated Order conviction, you must instead select Order Minoris convictions.

ABILITIES 

Shield of Faith: Models in this unit have a 6+ invulnerable save. In your opponent’s Psychic phase, this unit can attempt to deny one psychic power as if it were a Psyker.

Zealot: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, if this unit made a charge move, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention this turn. you can re-roll that attack’s hit roll.

Acts of Faith: Once per phase, one unit from your army with this ability can perform one Act of Faith. To do so, you will use Miracle dice.

Sacrifice: Any Adepta Sororitas Character units from your army are destroyed.
