“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.
Army Rule
All SISTERS OF SILENCE units have the ANTI-PSYKER 2+ ability and the PSYCHIC ABILITY BLOCKING aura: enemy PSYKER units within 6" of any SISTERS OF SILENCE unit cannot manifest psychic powers, and DAEMON units within 6" halve their invulnerable saves.
1 available
Null Aura
While an enemy PSYKER unit is within 6" of one or more SISTERS OF SILENCE units, that unit cannot use psychic actions or manifest psychic powers.
Enemy PSYKER units within 12" of the bearer (rather than 6") are affected by the Null Maidens rule.
The bearer's melee weapon has the [ANTI-DAEMON 2+] and [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] abilities.
The bearer has a 5+ invulnerable save against psychic attacks and mortal wounds caused by psychic powers.
Once per battle, the bearer's unit can ignore the effects of a Battle-shock test it is required to take.
