The Null Maidens
Sisters of Silence
“Silence Is Our Weapon”
Every daughter of Silence is born a pariah, her very presence smothering the warp for yards around her, unable to feel psychic power and unable to be touched by it. Gathered since the Emperor's earliest wars to police the most dangerous of His servants, the Sisters became jailors of the Black Ships and hunters of rogue psykers across ten thousand years of quiet, thankless work. Nearly annihilated in the devastation of the Vigilus campaigns and the Pariah Nexus, the surviving Sisters now fight in close alliance with the Adeptus Custodes, silent blades against a galaxy drowning in warp-born horror. Where they walk, witches fall mute and daemons cannot manifest.
Allied contingent · The Sisters of Silence are an Agents of the Imperium contingent taken alongside a parent Imperium army - usually Adeptus Custodes - not a standalone codex force.

Rules digest
How This Force Plays
Our own plain-speech digest of how this force's rules hang together — army rule, detachment choice, command-point economy and roster shape. Written by us, not reproduced from the pack; the official PDF is the only authority on exact wording.
Read the official pack PDFHow the army rule shapes play
Every list in this force answers to Null Maidens, so plan your turns around it rather than treating it as a bonus. There is no secondary doctrine to pick, which keeps the force predictable to learn and unforgiving to misplay. Exact wording lives in the official pack PDF; the summary here is ours.
Choosing a detachment
You commit to one of 1 detachment (Null Maiden Covenant), and that choice locks in both your detachment rule and the 4 enhancements available to your characters. Pick the detachment that matches the units you already own, then buy enhancements last.
Command points and stratagems
There are 5 stratagems on offer, costing between 1 and 1 CP. In a normal game you will bank enough for two or three interventions a turn at most, so decide before deployment which one or two plays you are saving command points for.
Building to a points limit
The roster runs to 4 datasheets. The cheapest entry comes in at 40 points and the most expensive at 150, so a single flagship choice can eat a fifth of a 2,000-point army. Use the list builder to keep the Rule of Three, character limits and your points ceiling honest as you add units.
