There was some discussion about a couple homebrew ideas last thread. Like Gargoyle Snipers or Melta-lance Bikers, if I recall.
Anyone else remember the Order of Bloody Lightning /tg/ made like a year ago? I always assumed it'd come back after people went crazy for Fury Road. I miss those Burqa Biker Bolter Bitches.
>>44315186
I literally just made it up. But it sounds like it could maybe be canon, doesn't it?
I'm sure there is at least one Order Militant that does this.
>>44314909
is there a story to this pick
>>44315245
Dude, fuck yes. That remains the sexiest name for an organization I've ever heard. Some of the writefaggotry for Maz Maximus was boner-inducing. Biker sisters blasting across a desert of shattered glass and Necron ruins, white-hot plasma raining down in scorching storms of lightning, scouting for any undead machines emerging from their graves so they can do their duty for the Emperor and cut them down where they rise. Gotta go faster or the tyranid tunnelers will scoop you up and rip your guts out. Gotta go faster or the ork bikers will catch you! Gotta go faster so you can ram that Necron dead ahead and crush his ancient, unliving frame into the obsidian storm-glass boiling under the chainsaw tires of your bike!! Faster! Faster! Faster!!!
>>44315245
I think everyone just wanted to make war boy orks after that. But yeah, I remember the Biker Sisters from that were fucking awesome.

Shit, I can't believe it's been over a year since we did that.
Anyone got any sister on sister appreciation of the holy human form?
>>44314093
No one believes me when I say this, but a greenshirt told me we should be seeing one within a year.
>>44316191
That's literally what people have been saying, every single year, for more than 3 years.
>>44316234
He told me that all they're waiting for is the plastic model molds to get done. It's taking a while because the metal sisters were so detailed, and they want to stay true to that, that the molds they've been trying didn't work.
The online codex stuff we've been getting has been to tide us over until then.
At least, that's what he told me, claiming he heard it from someone high up on the GW food chain at one of their yearly meetings.
>>44316321
That's a fucking 3 year old rumor you nigger.
>>44316321
I'm fairly certain that's been the basic story for years as well.
If they wanted to tide us over but they're having difficulty with the detail on the infantry, some vehicles would be a great way to fill the gap and show that they're not just ignoring them.

Can a transgender person become a Battle Sister? If you were a GM would you allow it?
>>44317336
Probably depends on the planet/Order. I'd allow it as long as it didn't dominate your character's entire existence.
>>44317336
I imagine it depends on the planet, what sort of tech. and what social strictures they follow. The Imperium is on the whole grimdark, but it's implied there's decently advanced planets as well.
no as the edict states no man may join, no matter what gender they think they are.... no way around that.
"no men under arms in ecclisarchy" If their half man or anything man their SOL sadly...
>>44317401
Don't be so literally. Follow the spirit of the law. If they transitioned, they are no longer a man.
>>44317336
Theoretically yes, in practice no.
A Battle Sister is trained for decades, starting when she is raised from childhood in a Schola Progenium and then eventually a Convent. This training is basically pre-K through High School, but also includes combat training, faith lectures, and physical training.
Transgender and gender dysphoria is something that really doesn't show up (in a noticeable or meaningful way) until early teens to early 20's. By that point, the orphan has already chosen their life path.
If you were to have a male-to-female SoB, it would require that they first be diagnosed with gender dysphoria at toddler/pre-K age, then undergo a medical treatment that completely cures them of their gender dysphoria (how each culture does this is up to you, but the easiest is altering hormone systems rather than attempting to craft a whole new body), and that treatment would have to be successful enough to completely change them into a female.
A female-to-male cannot be a SoB because they have to be female by Imperial edict, otherwise it violates treaties.
TL;DR It isn't feasible, and one existing is pretty much on par with a Chaos Marine repenting of his sins and then being granted his own Chapter through bravery level of rarity.
>>44317336
Pretty much >>44317473
If you managed to transition them fully to a female at a young age, then they could get in. Even if they did though, nobody in the situation would have a good reason to mention it or bring it up.
The word is the word, there is no bending of the word. There is only one true way, those who violate its precepts will be be offered their soul unto redemption upon their extermination.
>>44317401
I think the bigger concern on some priests would be mutilating the pure human form. Even though trannies in 40k don't have to worry about shit like "God made you a certain way so you should never change yourself", they still have to worry about "the human form is perfect and the only ones who want to change it are mutants and heretics. So which are you? Both!? Heresy!!!"
But I'm also not sure how widespread that kind of view is. I'm just guessing off of your average Imperial stereotype.
transgendered the alteration of the human form into some other state of existence is the very taint of the warp itself. There is no room for heresy for those who find themselves consumed by its soul altering aberrations.
>>44317546
The difference in planetary cultures and sheer number of them means it can be literally anything. It can be completely embraced, it could be a immolatable offense, and everywhere in between.
I would imagine, however, given its rarity, it's either approached as a medical issue (like males developing female breast tissue) or just not understood as a general rule.
>>44317467
>Follow the spirit of the law
>the entire fucking SoB concept is against the spirit of the law
Are you really this fucking retarded?
>>44317546
If they worried about "mutilating the pure human form", they would be at the Admech steely throats all the time.
The humans in 40K, especially the important ones, have all manner of modifications, tubes, and other grim accessories jetting from their bodies. They have no room to judge anyone.
>>44317609
>>the entire fucking SoB concept is against the spirit of the law
I would argue it isn't. Since their existence was a clever way to circumvent the letter of the law.
>>44317621
>they would be at the Admech steely throats all the time.
Not that anon, but the Ecclessiarchy and the AdMech ARE at each others throats all the fucking time.
>>44317621
thats not altering the original state of being of the individual.
>>44317621
I've seen it come up sometimes as a tenet of the Imperial Creed, but obviously one loaded with hypocrisy by the sheer number of bionics across the Imperium.

>>44317473
>Transgender and gender dysphoria
But that would probably be seen as a mutation or worse.
With the fear of Slaanesh and his gift (which include gender alteration), that Sister is going to get burn at the stake.
>>44318751
>transgender seen as mutation
That is the part of it that is the underlying problem since with no modifications the individual is defining themself outside of the divine judgement of the emperor.
thus it would be heresy in one of its more simple forms mayhap.
>>44318751
>>44318857
>probably seen as a mutation or worse
I don't like that there's someone who says this every time that trans people are brought up in 40k. You are incorrect, anon.
The people of the Imperium are fine with mutation. Ratlings, Ogryns, Squats, even Beastmen are in 40k without it being a Chaotic thing, because those mutations are STABLE.
The mutation that is despised on your average Imperium planet--which are stated to be similar to our own, though with a greater emphasis on religion and militaristic fervor--is the mutation that is unstable and actually caused by Chaos.
If you try and argue that transgendered people or people who suffer gender dysphoria are a mutation, then the problem here is with you, not the setting.
>>44318751
>Slaanesh
Slaanesh is not known to the wider Imperium. It's mentioned that if Slaanesh's presence is known by folks of the Imperium, then entire worlds would descend into depravity and madness.
>>44318751
>>44318857
>transgendered people are Slaaneshi
Slaanesh is the emphasis on excess in all forms. Sexual oddities from our own current norm are not Slaaneshi.
A transgendered person is no more Slaaneshi than a loving and appropriately-handled BDSM relationship between two consenting adults. That being: not really Slaaneshi at all, but you children think it is because it deviates from "missionary position for sole purpose of procreation."
>>44318869
> Ratlings, Ogryns, Squats, even Beastmen are in 40k without it being a Chaotic thing
Good point, though those individuals are born that way an ogryn doesnt call themself a beastman and a squat would not be an ogryn. The heresy would lie in using a personal declaration to over ride what the biology is through simply using a different name.
Maybe it would work more in the imperial guard though for being a non issue, while in SM or SOB chapters it wouldnt work out the same?
>>44318980
>an ogryn doesnt call themself a beastman and a squat would not be an ogryn
This is a far better argument than I would expect out of 4chan, but I still think you're thinking too far on the extreme end of things.
Someone who is born in a male body calling themselves a woman because that's how they feel is not nearly as extreme as identifying as a literal different subspecies.
Whether or not it's accepted will probably vary from world to world and from community to community, but in my personal opinion that people of the Imperium have far more to worry about than we do, and have learned to set certain things aside for their own safety.
Do you think we'd go on arguing about whether or not homosexuals can marry if we had to fight against things like Chaos and Greenskins?
>>44318977
BDSM is not tolerated within the imperium my friend. Your confusing terra with the foul reeking stench of earth which is rife with chaos. Any sexual abnormality since mentioned might be viewed as that form of chaos Slaaneshi one would imagine.
Because more its the desire to be something and achieve something an individual cant, something the gods of chaos can grant. Such a doorway to chaos might be the best choice for those seeking the alternative lifestyle with the bonus of being able to corrupt those who are righteous in their fury???
>>44319020
I want to accuse you of trolling because your english is so bad. But I would also not mind debating if I could decipher a point here.
>>44319018
>Someone who is born in a male body calling themselves a woman because that's how they feel is not nearly as extreme as identifying as a literal different subspecies.
This might be where the conflict would arise, because in the WH universe a person who feels they want more or something they cant have is a step away from chaos. Not a bad thing because Chaos can grant those changes to a being which would make for some very fun and fitting tabletop gaming.
>>44319058
I suppose this is where it's a matter of personal interpretation. I really couldn't stand the 40k setting if it was that bad, and I have not personally met someone who views it as that...strict...? in regards to how close anyone is to Chaotic corruption.
Personally, I prefer the interpretation in If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device 19: I suppose it does support your point a bit, but someone simply wishing for a degree of change does power Chaos by the tiniest degree (Tzeentch, by the way, not Slaanesh, who is fed by emotional extremes and certain aspects of "creativity,") it does so in a way that won't effect the person feeding Chaos in that way, just as literally every single thought ever had by anyone ever powers Chaos, and that's why it can't really be "killed."
I suppose I feel that Chaos is always there, but no one is simply "a step away from [Chaos]." Transgendered people don't feed it any more or less so than people who are not transgendered.
>>44318869
The majority of the issue is the sperglord special snowflakes identity politics faggots on tumblr giving the entire trans population a bad name.
If they acted as though they all required special recognition and treatment in 40k then yes, they would be considered an unstable abhorration.
That and, even then they may just get purged by any random inquisitor who knows anything about Slaanesh and his nebulous gender.
In regards to the original question that sparked this faggotry, just do it and act normal. If it's really the type of campaign where what's in between your legs matters the heresy of your particular campaign outstrips the lore and you're playing with a bunch of deviants anyway. If it's not then there's no reason to talk about your junk and the only reason you would is for attention.And I say this playing a trans Sororitas in a game of Dark Heresy with ERPG moments.
Basically, if the most interesting thing about your character is what's between "her" legs in anything, I'd recommend taking them back to the drawing board.
>>44319114
>I suppose I feel that Chaos is always there, but no one is simply "a step away from [Chaos]."
The statement I used "a step away", I used because that want for something that isnt possible in reality can be made real by the chaos gods.
If an individual desires the change they cant have as a human, such as no man transgendered or not can give birth, get a period, or vice versa get someone pregnant. The forces of chaos can grant that wish which is why I chose to say "a step away from chaos".
Not a bad thing though, roleplaying a chaos faction suited for this could result in a very satisfying gameplay experience for the player and the other players since it might help bring the game more to life?
>>44319256
>If an individual desires the change they cant have as a human they are a step away from chaos
This basically explains why exterminatus events occur to wipe out any chance of any living thing living with the knowledge of chaos. Also the reason why anyone is killed who even knows of the forces of chaos.
>>44319256
It could. This is good argument. I would argue that whether or not the person feels they must turn to Chaos to get the body they identify as would depend on their world.
Is this a world where treatments for transgendered people exist and they are not seen as bad things? Then there'd be no potential for Chaos taint out of desire for a new body.
So yeah, I would argue that it depends entirely on the world that the individual is from.
Sororitas Thread Rerailing...
>>44319366
>>44319343
>I would argue that whether or not the person feels they must turn to Chaos to get the body they identify as would depend on their world.
Good point if there is treatment for this thing. Not sure if that point has ever been made though in the official WH universe if the tech exists or not? If there is no mention of it yet then we can only assume it doesnt exist which may explain the sterility of space marines???
Though let us not forget it is not usually the individual who finds chaos but chaos who can reach out to them no matter the world or what deep recess they may seclude themself in since the boundaries of chaos are near infinite.
>>44319328
> Also the reason why anyone is killed who even knows of the forces of chaos.
If anyone who knows of chaos must be killed, then wouldnt every space marine have to kill themself? Also what is in a sororitas church? wouldnt there be talk of chaos?
I mean someone is bound to ask and what happens if we dont follow the emperors divine word???
>>44319440
I believe it has been stated in Dark Heresy and shown through a few different novels that most Imperium civilized worlds are similar to our own, with some differences that come inherent to the setting.
With that being said, it depends on the GM whether or not most worlds would have access to at least basic hormone treatment. Personally, I say yes, and unfortunately there's not really a debate available here. You could say no, and it's all good because it's your view of the setting.
>>44319464
> Personally, I say yes, and unfortunately there's not really a debate available here.
Far as most media that contains a "universe" of some sort such as Warhammer, speculation is often not allowed unless the game is being played loosely in some sort of fan fiction type of manner.
>basic hormone treatment
If a person is seeking treatment here is the problematic part, the person could be influenced by chaos and turned into whatever they wanted to be a man, woman, a cat or whatever... If the person sought to become their true self and hormones would NEVER grant that satisfaction in reality when that gender reality is merely a step away through the forces of chaos???
>>44319521
>Far as most media that contains a "universe" of some sort such as Warhammer, speculation is often not allowed unless the game is being played loosely in some sort of fan fiction type of manner.
Pardon? Dude, that's how like, all games I've played/hosted are like in massive galactic sci-fi settings. 40k, Star Wars, whatever--we fill in the blanks ourselves, and have fun.
Also you forgot to greentext the part where I said that someone could say "no," where I say "yes," and that's just as acceptable.
>>44319574
>Pardon? Dude, that's how like, all games I've played/hosted are like in massive galactic sci-fi settings. 40k, Star Wars, whatever--we fill in the blanks ourselves, and have fun.
That playstyle is all good in the hood, its a game so like all meant to be fun whatever that may be. Adding in elements not present in that universe like throwing light sabers into WH or spess marines into Star Wars isnt cannon, but cannon doesnt matter long as ppl have fun which is more important at least in my book.
>>44319614

>>44319614
Would the sororitas kick them out anyway? Or not recruit at all? Cut off the dick and balls and pop all the pills you want your chromosomes are stil XY. Any person who found out had the legal sway to fuck the sororitas over for breaking the letter of the law they're shirking. They probably would 't even take them in the first place just to avoid the chance that might happen.
>>44314653
>>44314708
Are Sororitas clones or why do they all look the same?
>>44319735
You seem upset.
It's almost like 4chan can't handle actual conversation and an argument that isn't slinging insults?
>>44319762
Sororitas look the same because that is the camaraderie of a sorority.
tldr, the short answer is loyalty, therein lies purity of the innocence for what the truth lay bare so that the light of his divine call will reach even the most lost soul tortured in darkness ever seeking the redemption only met through their only purification in the rites of holy burning damnation.
This has been asked many times, but I've never seen a definite answer.
What kind of relationships are SoBs allowed to have? Do they have to be celibate?
Is it possible for a SoB to leave the order and have a normal family?
I'd like to know about 'unique' cases as well.
As die-hard as their fans are, SoBs have never seemed to be fleshed-out, and an Omnibus by a decent writer could really breathe some life back into them imo
Wonder what a sister of battle titan would look like.
In WHFB, A young sister from a one of the Sigmarite churches fell in love with Archaon. She tried to redeem him either by guiding him back to the light or by just killing him and freeing him from his accursed fate.
Can something like this happen in 40K?
>>44319829
No because that Sister wasBe'lakor all along
>>44319820
I am not aware of this being specified anywhere.
It's up to personal interpretation and convent. I don't think that them having normal families is kosher, as that would get in the way of their service in the long term.
I don't think there's anything wrong with them feeling a degree of lust and desire. It's only bad if it's excess, unless they are from a particularly strict Order or convent, I'd imagine.
Yeah, there's room in the lore for everyone's mutual dream of Sisters sating their residual lust with each other so that it isn't vented in an unholy, excessive, heretical fashion.
>>44319847Errgh...wouldn't that count as incest?
Oldie but goldie.
I don't recall the context of this but a drawfag here made it and I love it
>>44319881
Maybe.
>>44319771
Let me sum up what you've been told
>It's never happened in canon
>It's MOST LIKELY heretical
and the tumblr brigade has said that there is no support for the heretical side and that the persons who are making those arguments are of poor character.
4chan can't handle arguments that attack the character of the person making it because it's an anonymous board.
If you want to play as a tg sororitas there is nothing stopping you aside from your GM. Hell, if you're not playing an ERP game your dick will never come into it and it will only come up if you're an attention whore.
Now if you want to talk about a possible way for it to happen for your tg character so you can double think your way out of it then by all means I'm down for that. I can't speak for "4chan" but I'm down with that. But if you're going to turn around and say there is something wrong with me when I say in cannon it's probably considered chaotic taint and said heretic would promptly be purged then fuck off back to your tumblr hug box.
You are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world just like everyone else mate. You were lied to, there are no special snowflakes. Embrace it and you'll be much happier about your situation and be better company during discussions.

>>44319828
Giant titties made of plasma destructors.
More seriously the Sororitas wouldn't have Titans as Titans are under the command of the Collegia Titanica. However you could have a Titan Legion put a titan in Sororitas livery to honor a past incident between them. It'd be easier to have some Knight Freeblades or a Knight House allied with a convent who wear their colors as a sign of devotion.
Either way, the crew and pilots all need to be chicks.
>>44318869
>If you try and argue that transgendered people or people who suffer gender dysphoria are a mutation, then the problem here is with you, not the setting.
"Cruelest and bloodiest regime imaginable" Literally right there in the foreword. The Imperium is not some amazing place for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. It's outright stated to be the opposite. It is a shitty place to be and something no human should suffer through, but that's -the point-.
Gender dysphoria is likely treated like any disease of the mind in the Imperium, so with abhorrently barbaric methods and excessive grimdark and an uncaring attitude towards the value of human life. If said transgender person now wants to change their gender? Well, I'm sorry but that would be deviation from the Holy Human Form as other anons have said. And that shit will either get you a severe physical punishment as penance for your sin of believing your perfect human form to be imperfect or burned at the stake for heresy.
It is a cruel, inhuman regime that enforces terror and abuses of common human dignity even on worlds where it is distant. It is not nice, it is malicious. Like it says in foreword "Cruelest and bloodiest regime imaginable"
You also misunderstand the Imperiums relationship to abhumans. They are not fine with mutation, they are however fine with being hypocrites when it suits then. Such as with throwing abhumans into the meatgrinder because they're useful combat troops, which becomes a two-fer in the Imperiums mind. The abhuman repents for their sin of deviation by dying for the Emperor and there's one less inhuman freak in the universe.
>>44320171
Cool beans, in my next DH game I'm going to have anyone without brown hair publicly tortured to death because that shit is the result of a mutation. Those who sired non-brown haired children and those with a deviant shade of brown will be given the mercy of a general public execution by drawing and quartering. Cruelest regime imaginable, bro.
>>44319828
>>44320213
Such is life in the Imperium of Man.
Seriously though, it's about time Abaddon put the whole thing in the trash where it belongs.

It was later purged for being stupidly wasteful and pointlessly cruel even by 40k standards.

It's not that absolute. Depending on who is in charge of the planet (is it the ecclesiarchy or the planetary governor alone, how strongly is Imperial Creed rooted on the population etc.) the way minorities are treated can vary greatly. You need to remember that IoM mostly doesn't have time to give a fuck about how say, sexual minorities, are treated at backwater planet XY-2345 as long as the planetary governor manages to pay its tithes.
>>44319431
man that one big bird or small sanctuary
>>44320213
Likely excessive to the point of heresy but I could see it happening if you have a planetary governor drinking way to deep from the cup of monodominance.
>>44320280
The bird is part of the statue.
>>44320289
Drinking from cups is heresy. The Emperor drank from cups, are you saying you're equal to the Emperor? You can only drink out of bowls or straight from the tap.

The galaxy is a big place, some planet could easily have such laws.
>>44320279

The Imperium likely has a lot of time to fuck around with petty shit considering the sheer banality of stuff some of the thoughts of the day deals with.

If the Emperor drank out of a cup, that means drinking out of cups is blessed and the only way one should drink. You dare maligning the Emperor by not following His will and His example?

The militant arm of the Adepta Sororitas are already existing only because of a legal loophole.

Sororitas and Inquisition are not.

>The people of the Imperium are fine with mutation.
Firstly, abhumans are threated like shit compared to normal, and that's in a setting where most people live in slavery
Sencondly, as you mentionned it, those populations are stable. The mutation is allowed because it's inherent to a community that's valuable to the imperium.
The imperium isn't nice. It isn't even't similar to current earth 3rd world pre-enlightenment ideology. It's based on 2000AD, which is a faschist dystopia where mutants are sent to die in irradiated wastelands just because of their genome.
Though >>44318857 is right, gender dysphoria would be seen as deviancy/heresy rather than mutation.
I remind you that wanting liberty or equality in the imperium is also considered heresy. It endangers the established order (or is simply foreign to it), so it has to be crushed.
That's one of the reasons why so many mutants and ordinary people turn to chaos.
>>44320213
They virobombed a planet with agents targeting a to kill every people with a certain hair color because they were statistically more present in majority in an anti-imperium rebellion (rulebook 3rd ed.). That setting has exterminatus, aka burn the house to get rid of termites.
>>44320542
That's a whole other can of worms.
>>44319728
Have you been hiding under a rock? The ass belongs to Widowmaker, the qt3.14 is Tracer, and they are both from Blizzards upcoming game Overwatch. It was recently withdrawn from closed beta for another round of tactical rigging behind the scenes.

Rare sister without white hair.
>>44320614
To continue on the topic of gender dysphoria, there could be a remote planet that have in its customs and where a significant part of the population undergoes hormore therapy or surgery once adult, for whatever reason, then it would be accepted on this particular planet, and (barely) tolerated on the rest on the imperium.
But a particular individual standing up against the system in one of the most oppressive settings without being instantly crushed ? Very unlikely.

100% grimdark approved.
>>44319820
IIRC vows are order-specific.
In one of the ciaphas cain books, a canoness lays with an adept, and Inquisitor amberley vail remarks that contrary to popular belief, sororitas aren't supposed to be chaste.
I suppose that getting pregnant in a warzone will be shunned upon, though, because it means that one of His warriors can't fight for a while.
And having a family and leaving the order ? Not impossible per se, but that's borderline heresy unless you have a very comprehensive canoness (sound of music sister of battle campaign when ?)
>>44320785
Possibility of Sororitas starting a family.
Planetary Governor is removed for treason/incompetence/whatever.
Another of the same house is appointed to promote stability and give the illusion that nothing too serious has gone wrong.
To ensure he remains loyal the Sororitas give him a wife from their order. If he has a wife already he now has a concubine.
The Sororitas is now in a position of authority on the planet and will ensure that this and the next planetary governor is more loyal and pious than the one that got removed.
This sounds like a great deal for him. It is not. Should she find him lacking in either piety or competence she will be his executioner.
Also introduces new genes into the increasingly inbred Imperial Aristocracy.

Only if it's a political intrigue game about a Convent offering up a novice sister to sate the desires of a nobleman so that they might chart the course of politics in opposition to the Sister Famulous attached to the house.
>>44320863
Sister Famulous work to prevent inbreeding amongst nobility by arranging marriages, however these are still between nobles and not to Sisters.
>>44317609
Sabastian Thor wrote the rules knowing full well that the High Lords would not allow him to keep the Sisters on as a military force so when he wrote the edict he intentionally wrote the loophole in because in the bureaucratic world of politics only the word of the law mattered.
To Sabastian Thor and the Sisterhood, the loophole is following the spirit and word of the law.
![machete-lindsay-lohan-nun-gun[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/azkiERO.jpg "machete-lindsay-lohan-nun-gun[1].jpg")
Are they rules for novices in the tabletop ? Or sisters without armor, for that matter.
>>44320915
technically, aren't sisters nobles or at least upperclass aristocrats, considering that they come from the schola, which is reserved to imperial elite.
If the genepool of the nobility was really rotten, I could see that happening as a last resort.
>>44317898
Can't remember the source but I remember reading once that Convents take up rituals and iconography that matter to them personally or have history with.
By the same notion, they will sometimes adopt images and styles of the culture they are among.
Normally sisters spend a large majority of their time quite insular, leaving any dealings with the public to a few trained individuals and/or their superiors. So they have little culture mixing but some other convents will have many deals with the citizens by large and over time, their cultures will mix.
Long story short, most Sisters will all look the same on purpose but don't let that stop you from converting your own miniatures.
Mind you, that would have been back when GW encouraged conversions.
>>44321236
Schola isn't just for nobles, it's for all orphans of those who worked directly in some of the Imperium's organizations like Administratum or the Commissariat.
The Schola is for everyone.
They'll even take untainted children of traitors.
In practice, though, generally only the upper classes, officers and such's families would be known to the Administratum for them to care about rounding up the orphans.
Again, big galaxy out there. Your headcanon can likely coexist with everyone elses.

Yeah man.

We kinda made a short story that I am rather embarrassed to show. We use to chat, creating a story. She would do her part and I would write mine, where I was a GM a bit.
The evolution of the characters is still ongoing through Black Crusade now. It's been a long way.

>>44321236
>technically, aren't sisters nobles or at least upperclass aristocrats, considering that they come from the schola, which is reserved to imperial elite.
Only the high-ranking members are anything close to an aristocrat. One would have to reach canoness before she'd be considered anyone important. Beyond that any authority a sister has is nebulous, situational and mostly the result of her representing someone with actual authority.
>>44321339
Orphan of an Imperial servant is the base requirement and most of the Schola students come from children of Administratum members.
>>44321416
You're far from bad.

I really do respect sisters players, mostly because they make the perfect characters for my chaos lord to kill
>>44321676
That thing is probably made from the same stuff they make starship hulls from.
The ones that can withstand continent cracking weapons and several thousand kilometre Nova Cannon explosions.
Most Ecclesiarchy buildings are made like that. To act as giant, ostentatious bunkers that can survive the end of the world.
So, my friends and I are doing a Deathwatch game, and I decided to play a SoB instead of a Marine, because reasons. I was hoping some of you kind folks might have some roleplay advice, as I'm fairly new to the universe
>>44319366
I like to think it's Tarkus behind that helmet. Dude deserves a reward.
>>44321826
You will have to play a "moderate" sister. Most Space Marines don't see the Emperor as a god and are therefore blasphemers of the highest order.
Only the fact that they are, genetically, the Emperors grandchildren prevents the Sisters from declaring all out war on most of the chapters.
As a general rule they don't get along.
>>44321820
>To act as giant, ostentatious bunkers that can survive the end of the world.
Can I get a room in one of her boob sockets?
>>44321914
But aren't they also His Angels of Death? That seems like a pretty big divide in mentality. I was expecting awe, not grrr.
>>44321983
They are bunch of gene-twisted, cultivated mutations that reject the Emperor's divinity.
And they recruit witch-breed scum into their own ranks.
>>44321996
Yes, but they are also the work of His holy hands... this is confusing
>>44321983
Don't listen to that asshole. It depends heavily on the chapter in question and generally reflects the same attitudes the Ecclesiarchy has towards the chapter.
>>44322020
So was Horus.
Angels can fall from grace.
>>44321826
Novadays, marines are coming closer to the sister initial archetype, so I suggest we go back in time, to 2nd ed. fluff.
Space Marines were initially roided soldiers, kinda like cyberpunk heavy-duty cops.
Sisters are Joan of Arc in Space, so closer to chivalry than marines.
You're a warrior nun devoted to the Emperor. Faith is the most important thing in your life. You're a complete idealist (mentality primes reality). You're gonna fight literal anathemas (xenos, mutants, heretics), so lots of righteous fury.
Check out some knighthood/monastic vows.
A quick google search gives me :
>To fear God and maintain His Church
>To serve the liege lord in valour and faith
>To protect the weak and defenceless
>To give succour to widows and orphans
>To refrain from the wanton giving of offence
>To live by honour and for glory
>To despise pecuniary reward
>To fight for the welfare of all
>To obey those placed in authority
>To guard the honour of fellow knights
>To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit
>To keep faith
>At all times to speak the truth
>To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
>To respect the honour of women
>Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
>Never to turn the back upon a foe
you can probably adapt and remove/add things to your liking.
About you relationships with SM, the way I see it they're mythical beings, angels of death, direct servants of the Emprah.
On one hand you should be humbled about serving alongside them. On the other hand seeing them in everyday life, with a bit of political agenda and marines from different chapters bickering, is gonna put your faith to the test.
>>44321967
Sorry, they are the 'female hysteria' treatment rooms.
>>44322175
Are there recordings?
For research purposes.
>>44322112
This makes a lot more sense. Thanks. One more question. Would she do her armor in the Deathwatch style or no?
>>44321236
Schola is for orphans.
>>44322242
She would paint it black, assuming it wasn't black before, but the heraldry markings should be kept.
>>44322258
Based. Thanks man
>>44322242
SoB armor doesn't follow the same livery scheme as SM armor normally, but why not?
>>44322266
Well, my original thought was that it would be presumptuous in the extreme, but my second thought was uniforms. That's how you tell who not to shoot at

>>44320915
Imperial nobility is large and diverse enough that they can keep the gene pool diverse and weed out most of the undesirables.
>>44322343
Cool, now stat her as a some kind of monstrous creature.
>>44322242
Since you're not a space marine you aren't really be part of a kill-team. You're more of an attached specialist. Plus it could be seen as hubris, trying to mimic SM. On the other hand, you aren't under the direct authority of your order anymore.
Honestly, do as you wish, it can be justified either way.
Also, I would play it as a nun first, and a warrior second.
Especially since marines are gonna be better than you as fighters.
Your stong points are :
>lots of knowledge that aren't usually possessed by SM (religion, imperium history, eventually social and medical skills).
>more discrete and inconspicuous than a genetically modified 7ft tall hulk.
>beloved by most loyalist factions where SM are just feared
>faith so stong it can literally do miracles
IIRC the dark heresy books have sister classes in the Inquisitor Handbook. You can also look at the classes contained in Ascension, especially Hierophant, because Deathwatch characters are usually stronger than humans.
Also this :

What character archetype do you had in mind, btw ? Militant sister, hospitalier,famulous, dialogus?

A planet of giant abhumans.
One of their children is picked up by the Schola
She meets all the full qualities to graduate with the honour of becoming a Sister Novicate
As an experiment, more then anything, she is allowed to be inducted into an out of the way Order Militant Minoris.
She quickly out-preforms all expections of her and despite lingering feelings on being an abhuman, she becomes embraced fully into the Sisterhood.
The Order is now often tasked with missions that'll bring her alongside soldiers or civillans of her homeworld to act as a becon of hope and inspiration to them.
>>44322491
Mostly militant, because I have an unnatural love of flamers, but I also have the best social skills in the group
>>44322636
Sisters from all Orders are going to be far more socially adept then any Marine.
>>44322739
Perhaps if by any marine you mean Iron Hands or the Unforgiven, but Ultramarines and Space Wolves easily outclass ones such as the Sisters in social skill.
>>44322636
>unnatural love of flamers
Muh salamander
Check the Daemon Hunter book for Dark Heresy, it has the pyroclast sub-class with specific flamer-related traits, and the Astartes-pattern Incinerator (and anti-psyker prometheum).
>>44322817

I just got into DH 2nd edition, and there's not so many SM around. What is the civilians thoughts about a space marine, I thought they'd be worshiped, but in this thread it seems they'd be feared.

I'm using the Hydra pattern flamer from Enemy Within, but I'll look into it. Can't beat a holy weapon
>>44322844
Space Wolves are the broest of bros to non-fenrisians because then they aren't pulling the gruff Norse god act. Logan Grimnar goes to war against Imperial institutions that don't treat ordinary folks nicely, and is the most beloved hero figure in the Imperium. He's basically the Space Santa to your average human.

Seriously, I think the Space Wolves, before going full wolftard as you said, were the only legion to improve after their Primarch fucked off.
>Transgender Sororitas
Understand that the Adepta Sororitas exists only because the Ecclesiarchy is forbidden from having "men at arms". Why should any Order take the risk of being accused of violating the Imperium law?
>>44322343
Your taste in music may be shit, but that fig is beautiful.
>>44322864
As I see it, they're seen like christian angels by most people. "The holy book says that if you don't worship the Emperor, St. Michael is gonna personally come and fuck you in the ass". So they're good guys, but seeing them is usually very bad news, plus they can kill you will their little finger (and are probably rumored to have superpowers, to boot).
On some of the most high-tech/enlightened worlds, they might been seen more like what they really are. Cyborg special forces, plus personality cult North Korea-style because it's the imperium. There may even be popular saturday morning cartoons about the Deathwatch killing the xenos of the week.
>>44322919
Notwithstanding that being nice =/= being a diplomat, sources on that ?
>>44323162
Codices and his WD spotlight article.
>Logan's exploits are known throughout the Imperium. He is one of the great heroes of Mankind, whose image is universally recognized and respected, and his conquests span the galaxy. Many human worlds owe their existence to his might, and on several planets, he is hailed as a savior and patron. Every year, prayers are offered up in his name on a dozen worlds. To this day, tributes continue to arrive at Fenris from grateful planetary lords, and the Old Wolf remains possibly the most highly respected and best loved warrior in the entire galaxy.
>It is not just against the enemies of the Imperium that Grimnar has waged his war. He has willingly, some would say joyfully, led his forces into battle against Imperial Institutions whose agendas and actions he deemed threatening to those within his sprawling domain. this has led to many accusations of rebellion, heresy, and treason being levelled at Logan and his Chapter, along with the usual rumors of genetic deviancy. the fact that the Old Wolf is so ready to meet his detractors on the field of battle is undeniably one of the reasons why these allegations are not taken further - the senior adepts of the Administratum know from experience that is it better to have the space wolves as allies than as enemies. nevertheless, no matter how unorthodox his methods, none can deny that Logan Grimnar is one of the most successful of all humanity's commanders, a true champion of the Imperium and an inspiration to man and Adeptus Astartes alike.

>Dialogus (interpret)
>Famulous (commissar, except in a household. Sounds like a rip-off of dune and the bene-gesserit)
>Pronatus (relic keeper)
>Sabine (missionary)
>Other
On a sidenote, the Sororitas seems like a pretty complete organisation, with a very broad set of skills available. No psykers, though.
>>44323774
The CSI: Ecclesiarchy and the Indiana Jones ones. Can't remember their names.
>>44323774
>Sororitas seems like a pretty complete organisation
They are. They are more or less a complete organisation within the Immperium with close, unbreakable ties to the Ministorum.
Calling them just 'part of' the Ecclesiarchy is really doing them a diservice.
Their head position, Abbess Prioris, is even able to be a High Lord.
But because GW can't give them to many nice things, the Sisters haven't chosen a new Abbess after the death of the last one out of respect for her or some fucking bullshit.
>>44323774

>CSI: Ecclesiarchy
Order Vespila, a subtype of hospitalier that does CSI-stuff and burial rites.
The other named ones that I can think of are Madriga (chorists) and Planxilium (processions). They look pretty lame compared to the rest of the orders. Unless they got crowd controlling superpowers, but I doubt it.
Is it forbidden for sisters to act as imperial priests? I can't find any info about it, which is strange considering how religious they are, and apparenlty canonesses can't conduct masses outside their order.
>>44323774
Tough question. I like them all depending on my current mood. But I think I'll say hospitaller just because the army I'm painting started out as that before shit hit the fan and they became more obviously combat medics. Nurse nuns are neat.

>>44325358
Is being a faggot considered mutation or heresy ? Now I'm confused.
>>44326665
I think GW has, to a certain extent, wisely decided not to mention any of that, and leaves it to the players to decide how to handle it. No need to cause undue controversy.

>>44327950
GW doesn't mention anything sexual at all, despite the existence of Dark Eldar and Slaanesh. Lots of grognards say this is to try and make 40k kiddie friendly, but I think its more because the company is run by Brits, who are generally a sex-fearing people.

ADB has confirmed that's the company policy.
>I donât write novels for kids, and I get more than my fair share of editorial feedback that says âTake this outâĤâ and âTone that downâĤâ.
>The most recent example was when Octavia, the Echo of Damnationâs Navigator, was symbiotically linked to the warshipâs machine-spirit while they flew through the void. And the soul of the machine was so galvanised and thrilled to be hunting through the warp and destroying enemy vessels, that its primal pleasure at fulfilling its raison dâetre was starting to bleed through the link into her mind. She usually had the strength to control the machine-spirit, but she was exhausted and wounded, and her body responded in a primal and human way, as raw pleasure coursed through her mind and beyond. I knew that it wouldnât go through editing, so I changed it.
>I edited it down like crazy, and it was still cut, even when it was just a final sentence about her trying to fly the ship and ignore a distractingly pleasant ache between her legs.
>So, in short, anything relatively adult along those terms will be axed anyway.
>>44327950
I distinctly recall there being a lesbian couple in one of the guard books.
>>44328916
Novels are one thing, the RPG books was the main point of contention here. But as >>44328856 states, it's policy to sanitize the works they publish.
>>44328856
yeah but she still gets gangraped and knocked up by her fellow slave.
ADB's magical realm is showing.
>>44329202
So long as it happens offscreen everything is fine.
>>44329320
The knocking up is offscreen.
The gangrape isn't really.
>>44329360
It isn't, quote the bit and you'll see. That's why GW allows it.
>>44329384
Lent the book to a friend, so you might be right. I remember reading over it and being all "wtf how did GW even allow this". Pretty adult themed regardless.
Also if ADB was going to put in a female character just to have her repeatedly abused/dicked, I'd rather he not.
>>44318869
Mutation is not the same as an abhuman strain. Mutants are random and vary wildly, while abhumans like Ogryns or Ratlings are very stable. A child of a Ratling will be a Ratling. Beastmen are kind of a grey area, since there's so little lore about them. It seems like a lot of them have turned to the service of Chaos.
Mutants are allowed on some Imperial worlds, that's true. But they're usually very low class and discriminated against, usually used for hard labour at best.
I doubt that trans people would be considered mutants. At best it'd be something like a weird sort of biological amputation. But I don't think the Imperium would look favorably on it in general, since I believe the human body is looked on as something that is naturally very pure, since humanity is good and the Emperor is the patron of humanity.
>>44320106

Hospitalier. Mostly because they have the most fluff out of all of them, and a nice model.
I find it interesting that apparently sisters will cycle in and out of orders sometimes - a wounded sister or one that can no longer fight properly will serve in a Hospitalier order, and if they heal they can return to the Militant order. So Hospitaliers aren't just nurses and doctors, many are trained warriors as well.

Most people never really see the model from the back, but it honestly looks a bit more like a dress than normal power armor because of the cape thing hanging off of it.
Still great though.

I enjoy it, but I can't really compare it to the other ones. Complete and utter newfag

>that power armor.
Carapace armour actually.

Since most mutations in the Imperium are caused by heavy chemical pollution and not warp-exposure, the child of a mutant will be a similar mutant too.
Though abhumans tend to be particularly stable stains, that doesn't mean that there is a major difference with the other types of non-chaos mutants, apart from the fact that the administratum has classified them so/hasn't lost the triplicates yet.
But since there isn't a way to be sure if the mutation is caused by chaos or not, the usual imperial stance on the matter is "better shoot them just in case and be sorry later, and anyway they were probably corrupted".
Of course when all the population of the underhive is mutated because your reactors haven't been correctly shielded since the great crusade, you can't execute them since it would put a serious dent in your manpower, but that's no reason not to treat them like subhumans and hang a few from time to time, right ? After all if the proletarians didn't vent regularly they would assault the nobility, and we don't want that to happen, do we ?

Oh no, it's power armor. Sisters of battle get power armor, so Hospitaliers get power armor too. Carapace seems to be mostly used only by Stormtroopers and Arbites.

I'd like to lay down a Sister and appreciate her delicate sweetness all night long.end my misery
>>44329835
Oh right. Looks power armor'y rather than carapace, but I do remember that was what she was equipped with in the RPG.
Still, my penis will destroy all the carapace.
>>44329846
A child of a mutant will probably also be a mutant, but it's up for grabs if there's going to be shared or similar features. Like you say, abhumans are particularly stable, while mutants are not.

That looks like flak armor. I wish the difference between carapace and flak was a bit more clear - I used to think it was just generally bigger and bulkier, but now the new storm troopers have pretty form-fitting armor that's less bulky than regular flak.
>>44329867
Uh, no they don't. Only the militant orders get power armor. The Hospitallers get an absolutely bitching suit of Carapace armour, not power armor. It's the one distinction between the Orders Militant and the Hospitallers.
>>44330011
But it looks exactly like the sisters power armor, amazing dubs. And Hospitallers are often ex-militants or militants that need time to heal from wounds.

>abhumans are particularly stable,
Not just "particularly stable". They're literally sub-species of humans that breed true and are largely products of evolutionary pressures rather than random mutation.

Can't unsee.

>But it looks exactly like the sisters power armor,
Are you blind? It doesn't. Pauldrons are different and far larger on Battle Sister power armor, Battle Sister power armor is far bulkier and presents a wholly different profile, there is a distinct lack of a fusion power pack which all Battle Sister power armor has, the chestplates are also completely different, there are tassets on the Hospitaller carapace, battle Sister power armor lacks them completely and I could go on listing the differences.
>>44330082
Now neither can I, áĤanks for that.
Is there any instances of low-tech orders/sisters from feral worlds in the fluff, or are sisters considered t be always well equipped since they are part of the (rich) ecclesiarchy ?
>>44329933
Non chaos mutations follows the laws of Mendel. If a mutant whose sole mutation is a foot on his head has a child with a regular human, the child will be a mutant with a foot on the head or a normal baby, but in no cases will it have tentacles instead of arms, for example (except for cases of foetus poisoning/irradiation during the gestation, but that's another matter).
With chaos, on the other hand, it's fuck you genetics.
