So are you wondering what is the new state of the codex Adepta Sororitas?

Some things are better, some are different, and some are worse. In general there are many more changes than I thought they would introduce (I originally thought they would basically just reprint the WD codex).

So the better:
Exorcists -10 points

• Solid unit for fewer points make it a win

Ministorum Priests -20 points

• Extra options still make these expensive
• New ability War Hymns can give his unit reroll failed armor and invulnerability saves, give the priest Smash, or give his unit reroll on wounds

Arco-flagellents -5 points

• Seems they get the extra attack for 2 weapons now

Immolator -20 points for Multi-melta version
Heavy Flamer -10 points
Simulacrum Imperialis -10 points and different
Neural Whip

• Has Shred special rule if majority LD is 8 or lower, so re-roll wounds

Condemnor Boltgun -5 points

• Still probably not worth taking except Psykers are more prevalent, so maybe 1
• Causes Perils of the Warp on a hit to the unit (so I am unclear if that is every Psyker in the unit each suffers the Peril or what)

Shield of Faith

• Added Adamantium Will

The different:
St.Celestine +20 points

• Only 1 get up from death
• added Hit and Run
• In assault, first thoughts are she wants to be with a Priest to get re-roll armor saves and invulnerable saves, which kind of leaves the Seraphim without her to run around with.

Uriah Jacobus +10 points

• No give unit FNP
• Instead give models within 12" Fearless and Counter-attack
• Gives Shield of Faith models in unit 5+ invulnerable

Basically the same:
Seraphim

• Hand Flamers reduced to -10 points from before, but act of Faith is 1 use per game
• Do not and can not get a Simulacrum Imperialis

Dominions

• Faith changed to Ignores Cover

Celestians -1 points

• Faith is Furious Charge
• Still not good on their own for assault

Canoness

• So her faith power gives Hatred, but you can get a Priest for 40 points less and get always Fearless and Hatred (no need to roll for a Faith power), Huh?
• Why would someone take her, certainly not to get the Command Squad

Rhino

Worse:
Sororitas Command Squad

• Faith Changed to gets Fleet, Crusader, and Move Through Cover in the assault phase
• Crusader just in the assault phase only gives +D3 on sweep rolls.
• Move Through Cover in the assault phase only gives ignore charging through Dangerous Terrain.

Death Cult Assassins (only have power swords)
Crusaders (only have power swords)
Retributor squads (Heavy Bolters are +5 points/model, and faith changes)
Eviscerators +5 points

• Only on Canonesses and Priests

Penitent Engines -5 points

• I was hoping for more like -20 points (mostly since Heavy flamers they have went down by that amount, I know that's not how those things are calculated, but they still seem overpriced).
• Reduced in number of attacks to 3
• Lost extra attacks on unsaved wounds

Repentia -3 points

• New faith gives 3+ FNP
• Although they lose always on FNP

Faith

• 1 time use whether you pass or fail
• You can spend +10 points on a Veteran Superior to get +1 LD to pass just a little more often
• You can spend +10 points to try to use your faith a second time.
• Most Faith powers are not good enough to maybe work and then only once, unless you spend more points. It is hard not to look at other codex armies that just get special rules on every turn always.
