The Canoness "You gotta have faith" The Canoness is one of the most well designed characters in the current game. She is not a super-human who has had a century of experience or a close combat master. Her profile reflects this. She is out-classed by many Commanders in the game, yet in many ways she is much better. She has access to some of the best wargear and weapons in the game. Best of all, she is an Adepta Sorita and benefits from all the special rules that encompasses. These two reasons alone make her one of the best generals in the game, and capable of being just as deadly as the super-humans and blood thirsty aliens of the game. Her other greatest ability is to act as a leader to her army. With the Book of St.Lucius, she can spread her influence out to multiple squads, making them practically fearless. In this way, she is a true leader for your army.
