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 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 new characters join the roster.

- 25 units repriced, 3 new, 8 unchanged
- Biggest drop: Paragon Warsuits (-45)

Detachments
Detachments now have a price of their own. Your choice is paid for in Detachment Points out of the army total: Incursion costs 2, Strike Force 3, Onslaught 4, and the Sisters pay the same whichever detachment you pick. Set that aside first, then spend the rest on units. The bigger change for the Sisters is choice: Chorus of Condemnation, Sacred Champions and Sanctified Orators are new, and every 10th-edition detachment returns, with none removed.
New in 11th: Chorus of Condemnation, Sacred Champions, Sanctified Orators. None removed.

Points changes
The overall picture is 14 units repriced, six up and seven down, with three new characters and everything else held steady. The big kit got the discounts: 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. That is a real cut 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) had no 10th-edition sheet. A couple of units are priced per squad size, so check the row for the size you run.

Biggest increases
Are Morvenn Vahl still worth it?
Up 30 points in 11th: 215 now, 185 in 10th.
Are Junith Eruita still worth it?
The single biggest increase in the faction, up 35 points from 80 to 115. That is a heavy tax on a named character, and it moves her from auto-include to a slot she has to earn. If her aura and presence anchored your 10th-edition list, she is the same centrepiece and the points will not scare you off. If you were fielding her as cheap filler, that era is over.
Are Aestred Thurga and Agathae Dolan still worth it?
Up 10 points in 11th: 80 now, 70 in 10th.
Frequently asked questions
Did the Adepta Sororitas get better in 11th edition?
Depends where your points sit. A list built on guns and armour pays less than it did: the four biggest cuts all land on shooting units, and none of them rose. A list built on characters pays more, with six increases spread across the leaders and the Triumph. A typical force sits between the two, so re-cost your own list before drawing a conclusion.
What got cheaper for Adepta Sororitas in 11th edition?
Seven units fell, and the named drops are all shooting or armour. Exorcist, Paragon Warsuits, Dominion Squad, Retributor Squad and Battle Sisters Squad came down, with the two 30-point cuts on the Exorcist and the Warsuits the largest in the faction. Between them those five save 100 points on a list that carries one of each.
How do Detachment Points work for Adepta Sororitas in 11th edition?
You pay for your detachment before you buy a single unit, and the bill scales with the game: 2, 3 or 4 points across Incursion, Strike Force and Onslaught. The three new detachments cost exactly what the returning ones do, so the fee never tips the choice between Sacred Champions and an old favourite.
Why did Junith Eruita go up so much in 11th edition?
She took the largest rise in the faction, 35 points from 80 to 115, which reads as a correction on a character priced below what she brings. It is the mirror of the vehicle discounts: the Exorcist and Paragon Warsuits got cheaper while a handful of characters absorbed the rise. She is still a strong pick, now costed as the centrepiece she is. The new arrivals, Inspiring Devotee, Militant Commander and Reliquant Knight, give you other characters to weigh her against.
Is now a good time to start an Adepta Sororitas army?
A reasonable one. Battle Sisters and the Exorcist, the two things a starter collection tends to buy first, are both cheaper than they were when 10th closed. Three characters were added and nothing was cut, so the range you are buying into is stable. The Starting an Adepta Sororitas Army guide has a buying order.
