{{Stub}}==General Structure=='''Codex: Sisters of Battle (5th Edition)''' was released as a two-part [[White Dwarf]] Codex in [[White Dwarf 379 (US)]], released in August 2011, and [[White Dwarf 380 (US)]], released in September 2011. An official note declares it ''Chapter Approved'' as an official Codex for [[Warhammer 40000]], and that it replaces [[Codex: Witch Hunters (3rd Edition)]]<sup>1a</sup>. This codex contains a brief history of the [[Adepta Sororitas]] as well as the army list and all the rules necessary to field an army of the Sisters of Battle. ===Part One===Released in August 2011 in White Dwarf 379 (US), the first part contains the army's background, army rules, and unit descriptions. ===Part Two===Released in September 2011 in White Dwarf 380 (US), the second part contains the Army List, Wargear, and point costs. This issue also contains a battle report featuring the Sisters of Battle under the new rules versus the [[Tyranids]]. ==Notable Changes==The codex notably removed all elements of the [[Inquisition]] found in the previous codex, which are now exclusively found in [[Codex: Grey Knights (5th Edition)]], leaving only the elements of the Sisters of Battle and the [[Ecclesiarchy]]. [[Confessor]]s and their enclaves were added to the codex. [[Uriah Jacobus]] and [[Kyrinov]] return as special characters from [[Codex: Sisters of Battle (2nd Edition)]]. The army's ''Acts of Faith'' was also completely revised from the previous version. ==Sources==*<sup>1</sup>: [[White Dwarf 379 (US)]], pp. 90-103*<sup>2</sup>: [[White Dwarf 380 (US)]], pp. 84-93
