Clad in power armour and armed with bolter and blade, the Sisters of Silence make for vicious combatants, but it is their aura of nullification that gives them their legendary status. To a normal human, these witch-hunters are unsettling; to a psyker, even standing near a Sister of Silence is an unbearable ordeal.
The following section contains all of the datasheets that you will need in order to fight battles with your Sisters of Silence miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and abilities it may have. Some rules are common to several Sisters of Silence units – these are described below and referenced on the datasheets.Book | Kind | Edition | Version | Last update |

Q: | If an enemy PSYKER that is within 18" of a SISTERS OF SILENCE unit successfully manifests a psychic power that targets an ADEPTUS CUSTODES unit from my army, can I use both the Fortress of Willpower and Empyric Severance Stratagems to attempt to negate the effects of that power? If my army also includes an ADEPTA SORORITAS Detachment, and the enemy PSYKER is within 24" of an Adepta Sororitas unit from my army, could I also use the Purity of Faith Stratagem from Codex: Adepta Sororitas to give me a third attempt to negate the power? If so, how is this resolved? |
A: | Yes. Each Stratagem must be used subsequently. If the first Stratagem you use fails, you can then choose to spend Command points to use another, and so on. |

These reflect the unique strategies and fighting styles of the Sisters of Silence.
1CP | ||
EMPYRIC SEVERANCE Sisters of Silence Stratagem The mere presence of Null-Maidens is enough to quash the psychic manifestations of enemy witches. Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Psychic phase, when an enemy PSYKER manifests a psychic power within 18" of a SISTERS OF SILENCE INFANTRY unit from your army, after any Deny the Witch attempt. Roll one D6; on a 3+ that psychic power is resisted and its effects are negated. | ||
1CP | ||
TALONS Sisters of Silence Stratagem The Talons of the Emperor strike with deadly unity. Use this Stratagem in any phase, after shooting or fighting with an ADEPTUS CUSTODES unit from your army.

Until the end of that phase, when resolving an attack made by a model in that SISTERS OF SILENCE unit, you can re-roll the hit roll. | ||
1CP | ||
PUNISHMENT FIRE Sisters of Silence Stratagem Prosecutor squads train to pummel the enemy. Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a PROSECUTORS unit from your army is chosen to shoot with.

DESPERATION’S PRICE Sisters of Silence Stratagem To overcome the Null-Maidens’ aura, enemy psykers overstretch themselves with horrible consequences.

That PSYKER suffers an additional D3 mortal wounds. | ||

1CP | ||
IMMATERIAL DISSONANCE Sisters of Silence Stratagem Psyk-out grenades leave their targets reeling. Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase or your opponent’s Charge phase, after resolving an attack made with a psyk-out grenade by a SISTERS OF SILENCE model from your army against a PSYKER or DAEMON unit that scored a hit.
