Adeptus Sororitas Homebrew for Wrath & Glory

In the dark present of Ulisses lack of production for the Warhammer 40,000 RPG, Wrath & Glory. I had become very enthusiastic about the possibilities of a system where Space Marine and Guardsman could be made relatively balanced in the same gaming group. I was then disappointed by the product and set about making some homebrew that would make me less depressed about the entire situation using Fantasy Flight's Sisters of Battle Supplements as a starting point with the Adeptus Sororitas Archetypes.

Design Choices and Clarification

Nearly everything is based on the classes from Fantasy Flight Adeptus Sororitas supplements spread about their Dark Heresy splatbooks and the 8th Edition rules for the Tabletop.

I made caveats and tried to keep it close to as balanced as I could figure using the Adeptus Sororitas Codex for 8E. This is including the weapon point costs in addition to the base unit costs and comparing the costs to other Codexes such as for Guardsmen.

In addition, it was reflecting on my own Homebrew when it comes to the point model of Attributes and Skills and their costs. I made it less expensive and more importantly, simpler with each advance on Attributes being twice its new value and Skills costing its new value in BP. I also changed the limitations on BP spent on Attributes to follow Table 1-0.
With a design choice that the combination of Race and Archetype not using up more then 1/4th of a Player's available BP at Character Creation unless extra options are taken. Finally Ascension was recalculated to be
(New Tier - Old Tier) Multiplied by 10 then + 10. This left my players able to do a lot of things at character creation without terribly imbalancing it unless they develop really really focused characters.
This actually happened, but they both chose killer types in an intrigue entry game that I told them will be a mixed intrigue/fighting game. So... they can't find Mcguffin, but they can kill everything.

Table 1-0 Tier Attribute Limitations

Special Options and Costs

Nearly each of the following Archetypes have Special Rules that can change how weapons are chosen, give more options to the player at additional costs, or clarify wargear options. I based this on the Inquisitorial Adept and the variant options for wargear in the wargear section of the Wrath & Glory Core Rule Book. I separated them because its easier for me to edit and read in that format.

Thanks to The Homebrewery

I am using Homebrewery for this file to make it easier to look at from both an asthetic sense and a organizational sense.

I however will not be using images since it might be an issue of rights usage with both Fantasy Flight, and Games Workshop and I just don't want to bother with issues like that.

Design Choices and Reasons

Power Armour is a Huge Advantage at this low a Tier, and having no armour sucks so here is my take for balance and usability
The currently crossed out bit is due to not completely understanding how different psychic powers affect PC's due to poor wording for LITERALLY ALL OF IT
Also, currently the Eviscerator does not have a -1 on attack rolls like a Power Fist Does, but the RPG doesn't have things like Armourbane either
