Changes

'''Codex: Sisters of Battle (5th Edition)''' was released as a two-part [[White Dwarf]] Codex in [[White Dwarf 380 (US)]], released in August 2011, and [[White Dwarf 381 (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)]]^{{Fn|1a}}. 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.

Released in September 2011 in White Dwarf 381 (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]].

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.
