Her upper leg casings were destroyed in battle and the kind spess mehreen is carrying her to safety as the upper body is quite heavy and hard to lug around without the servomotors assisting her. She also appears to be leaking oil from the upper chassis at an alarming rate, probably from whatever damaged the leggings.
Does it make me a bad person that I want one of them to be my waifu?

Seems to be some sort of close-combat jump pack sister. Lightning claws rather than the double pistols on Seraphim.
>>46783050

My sisters have dark hair but if I had the choice they'd all have helmets.
>>46783146
>>46783171

Well, that was my first thought as well, but the torso proportions are all wrong, which makes me think she may be some sort of heretek-ical cyber assassin.

i was under the impression the white hair was from being old and taking prolong drugs and or when they get married to the emperor their hair bleaches

>>46786496
It's because the main studio scheme for sisters is black armour and the white hair sticks out against it.
>>46780996
Why has the SM only got one arm?
>>46787475
Because his other arm is supporting his noble ally, who has had serious damage done to her armour and needs his help.

There is always white Sisters of Battle though, haha.
Seriously though, I always remember one official artwork that had a black Sister of Battle in it.
Hopefully the Sisters of Battle come back some day. I would hate to see them squatted.
>>46786496
it's dye. There's been a white haired saint and many sororitas dye their hair in her honor
>>46790831
This one. It was used for the Seraphim entry in Codex: Witch Hunters but cropped due to space so only the central, white Sister was shown.
>>46790916
That's the one, thanks. Seeing different types of people and culture in the Imperium is awesome. This art always stuck out to me because of that. Similar to seeing different types of Imperial Guard regiments that come from different worlds like the Praetorian Guard or the Savlar Chem Dogs. The picture to the left shows the different types.

Wouldn't be surprised if other Orders copy that particular tradition from them, particularly if they somehow have or owe their origins to Our Martyred Lady.
>>46790443
I think new plastic models will come eventually. GW has very much been in the mood lately of introducing things that were already present in the lore into the table top or bringing them back. Not to mention that a majority of the armies seem to basically be in maintenance mode right now, which I imagine possibly frees up resources, granted some of that may have gone to AoS first.

>>46790903
There is no fluff explanation for why some Sisters have white hair. When John Blanche was asked to illustrate the cover of Codex Sisters of Battle, he painted the hair of the SoB on the cover white. At that time the official Order of Our Martyred Lady color scheme was black armor and black cloaks, even the hair of the studio models was black. None of the studio SoB models had white hair, though one had a white streak. White hair proved popular however as it looked good on Sisters and many people painted their own models with white hair. White haired Sisters started appearing in other official artwork, e.g. Daemonifuge.
When GW held the Armageddon campaign early in 3rd edition, the Sisters present on Armageddon were mostly from Order of Our Martyred Lady and they lost many battles. Then, when Codex Witch Hunters was being written, GW decided to incorporate the results of the Armageddon campaign into official fluff and had Order of Our Martyred Lady recolor their cloaks from black to red in memory of the Sisters martyred on Armageddon and also to make their color scheme more interesting. The 'Eavy Metal team started working on a new Order of Our Martyred Lady studio army. The painters were obviously inspired by the John Blanche art piece as they painted every new Order of Our Martyred Lady model with white hair. Another reason could be that white hair is more easily distinguishable from the black armor. Since the Order of Our Martyred Lady studio army was the newest paint job, it was used in almost every official photoshoot and model box cover. Thus it became the outward face of the Sisters of Battle the same way Ultramarines are the outward face of the Space Marines and Cadians are the outward face of the Imperial Guard. Not every Sister has white hair, not even every SoB of OoOML, but because of the aforementioned reasons any official artwork and even fanart is likely to have Sisters with white hair.

>Bolter to Kokoro

Damn, as if hot ginger chicks weren't hard enough to find already.

This always triggers me. White hair is not exclusive to OML.
Considering that the Imperial cult dogma varies through the Imperium, do you think there are Sisters based on other religions than catholicism, or are they too centralized for that kind of thing?
Animist or Hinduist sisters from remote worlds would be pretty cool.
>>46785479
>And now the Inquisition is disguising themselves as SoB.
The Ministorum (ecclesiarchy) emblem is a skull in a ][, so the only purely inquisitorial symbol here is the book. She could have taken it to study witch hunting stuff.
>>46785203
Not a fan, I don't think it suits their Medieval Inquisition/Battle nuns/Joan of Arc/Knights in space theme very well.
>>46793395
>Considering that the Imperial cult dogma varies through the Imperium, do you think there are Sisters based on other religions than catholicism, or are they too centralized for that kind of thing?
In the case of the sisters it would be really surprising, considering all orders descend from the original Daughters.
Too be honest sister, I don't like the white bobcut aesthetic.

>>46787956
Btw, it dates from 3rd ed. (and then was extended to almost every sister in official art). 2nd ed. Martyred Lady had black-haired sisters too.
I think the original John Blanche picture is the reason for the omnipresent white-haired sororitas, and he probably made it only for better constrast or to represent an old canoness (that could be Martyred Lady or Valorous Heart, since she has red robes but white gloves).
>>46793414
Aren't the canonesses forced to go to the Convent Prioris/Sanctorum to be nominated, too ? That would ensurer cohesion.

>>46793964
Really? Looks like it isn't being stolen but given. Her face says that much. No sign of malice, or misgiving to the other. She almost seems bored with a look of "are you done yet?"
>>46794117
>white stream raining down from her cooch
That's no look of boredom, that's a look of "aren't you a pervy perv, anataaa~ <3 :3" if I ever saw one.
Things the Sisters need:
>Fluff updates. Apart of making them fanatical, make them pragmatic and resourceful. Also give them more win.
>A small buff to Acts of Faith and new additional acts. Also Acts of Faith would work like psychic powers, though they wouldn't have the same mechanics nor Perils of The Warp. You cast them and they activate. No fails. Not bound to a specific unit. And can be used indefinitively. Dice representing Warp Charges represent Faith Points.
>More wargear options (like Combat and Storm Shields) and new units (like Tech-Sisters or something like that).
>Specific rules that allow to make your Sister Covenants more distinct from each other.
>And lastly new models.
>>46794208
Tech-Sisters aren't a thing for a reason, thematically. The Adepta Sororitas will for sure have AdMech allies in some form or another, but they will almost surely never induct a Sister into the Cult Mechanicus. The Ecclesiarchy and the AdMech are tenuous allies at the best of times.
>>46794208
>You cast them and they activate. No fails
I don't like the idea of copy-pasted chapter tactics.
The current system works great to represent the small miracles sisters perform.
Additionally, if sisters get a Deldar-style update I think there would be an explosion of popularity for them.
>>46783002
>4 = 3
What else do you expect from a woman?
>>46794287
Well we could somehow fluff it out. I mean the Ecclesiarchy could try to train their own Tech-Sisters.
Or that Tech-Sisters would be something of a special kind of deal between the two sides. I mean the Ecclesiarchy needs someone to maintain their vehicles, and they don't have tech as awesome as the AdMech. Hence why they'd give some exceptions in certain areas.
Would have to think about it. Something like the existence of a Tech-Sister would require some serious brainstorming and justifications while not trying to demolish established fluff.
>>46794340
>If sisters get a Deldar-style update I think there would be an explosion of popularity for them.
Fair enough. As long as they get more stuff that would make them more efficient, then I'm OK with that.

>Fluff updates. Apart of making them fanatical, make them pragmatic and resourceful. Also give them more win.
>Specific rules that allow to make your Sister Covenants more distinct from each other.
Sadly, I think there are few chances of that. The evolution of the Space Marines from psychotics jarheads to warrior-monks deprived the sisters of one of their gimmicks, and now they are reduced to a very niche place. A lot could be done with non-militant orders, since historically you had monks and priest in charge of almost anything at one point or another, but since there is only war in 40k...
Maybe explore the secular aspect of the orders. Contrary to Marines or even the Guard they have a real role in the worlds where they're present, so they have strong ties with the Arbites, the Black Ships, the Missionarus, the Scholas, the various Frateris Militia and cults,...
>And lastly new models.

>>46795320
>The evolution of the Space Marines from psychotics jarheads to warrior-monks
But they started as both. If anything, Rogue Trader Marines were actually more religious than they are now:
>The base is a giant fortress-monastery dedicated both to battle and worship. As in all Marine Chapters, the fighting troops of the Space Wolves are warrior-monks. Ordinary Marines are Battle Brothers whilst Sergeants, Captains and the Commander are spiritual as well as martial leaders. The exact nature of Marine religious ritual, belief, and expression, varies from Chapter to Chapter, but is centred around the tenets of the Imperial Cult and the spiritual hegemony of the Ecclesiarch.
>>46794340
That's how they sort of used to work. I think you still had to make a Leadership test to use them, but you did get a pool of faith-points to use each turn.
I like the idea of the old system, if only because it meant Acts of Faith were going on throughout the battle. It's probably less fluffy, but it does make them feel more distinct.
>>46797637
>But they started as both
Indeed, different elements were always present, but I feel that the focus on them wasn't the same. Current marines give me a more religious vibe than 2nd or 3rd ed ones.
May be the fluff and the short stories, may be the art, may be only in my own mind, but for me the old SM were portrayed more as soldiers with incredible amounts of indoctrination, tradition and cohesion, and less as completely religious figures.
They had one kind of religious zeal and the sisters another. Now Marines can have the whole spectrum.
It doesn't help that chapters are really diverse, while sisters have only 6 main orders that are barely differenciated.
>>46793280
>the Sisters present on Armageddon were mostly from Order of Our Martyred Lady and they lost many battles.
What a surprise.
>>46798325
>Current marines give me a more religious vibe than 2nd or 3rd ed ones.
largely because of the change in the miniatures, I'd say
Veterans in earlier editions were just dudes with a different coat of paint. The basic vets now have big tabads and are loaded with extra details, which previously you'd only really see in the art.

Sorry to ruin your meme, but admech makes and designs their shit. They have no say in how many barrels a trinity gun has.

>>46794384
>>46803475
>>46804013
>>46783002
Guys. It's a Trinity Gun because it's three guns. A storm bolter (Two barrels), a meltagun, and a flamer. 4 barrels, three guns. Now chill.
>>46804013
Exactly, they speak in binary. Some of them never even speak in Gothic, on communicating with those in the Cult, or the Blessed Machine Spirits they tend to.
So, when the Ecclesiarchy says they want a "Trinity Gun", and describe it as "a bolter on a flamer on a melta", they probably focus entirely on the latter description and ignore the former.
Plus, "common sense" has never been an AdMech strong suit, considering you can pretty easily convert the resources needed to make a titan into enough guns to kill half a dozen titans.
>>46793395
>Considering that the Imperial cult dogma varies through the Imperium, do you think there are Sisters based on other religions than catholicism, or are they too centralized for that kind of thing?
I believe current lore is that Sisters come from the Schola Progenium, so anything that doesn't match up 1:1 with the Ecclesiarchy's true teachings is probably pounded out of them.

Good that I'm not tempted to give a shitty company like GW money anymore. If they released new sisters I'd end up buying 2 battleforces even though I'll never play 40k again because it's an awful game.
Hmm, Would the Lady Killer perk of Fallout be useful against dealing with SoBs? Smooth talking your way through females and dealing extra damage against them.
Egyptian Style Sisters, how do they work

Any help, anon?
>>46823781
I like the idea of Egyptian styled sisters. Is there more art along this theme?
>>46824448

No, egyptian. Egyptians wore extensive facial paint long before ganguro was even a twinkle in the eyes of the people of asia.

Sisters do not exist for your temporal pleasures, but rather for the spiritual goodness of mankind.
Fucking heretics.This is why GW doesn't take them seriously
>>46824774
GW doesn't take them seriously because everyone at GW still thinks girls have cooties.
>>46824774
There is two canon mentions of SoB having sex.
The problem with SoB, is that it's a catch 22.
>SoB don't sell
>So GW don't update them
>People don't buy them cause they're old, all metal, ugly and most expensive models in comp to similar models
>So GW says they're not worthwhile updating
>So they don't sell
Etc. Etc.
The last SoB shit they did was re-release Daemonfuige.
>>46823781
I saw the thumb before reading the post, and thought that this was Jai alai sisters.
>>46813441
The reason why Sisters are likely drawn from the Schola, besides the fact that the Ecclesiarchy runs it, is because the Sisters are the armed forces of the Ecclesiarchy and a big part of education in the Schola is military training. Of course not all Sisters fight, but the Ecclesiarchy probably wants them at least versed in combat for contingent reasons. The fact that Schola students are the orphaned children of Imperial servants may play a role too.
Is there any art of ugly or plain battle sisters ?
It's breaking my immersion to see them all beautiful and identical
>>46823781
IMO that pic would look a lot nicer with an actual kopesh with a metal blade or at least by adding a bit of gold to the pommel/hilt
Otherwise, this looks great
>>46823781
This doesn't work.
>>46825876

Having to do two Exorcist organs per model would honestly make me want to kill myself. Fuck that model.

Played templars for 15 years, always thought SoB were gay. but this new fan art is making me appreciate how similar our armies really are. almost like younger sisters to the templar. Deus Vult ladies.
>>46823781
Oh sweet merciful Emperor yes.
>>46793280
>There is no fluff explanation for why some Sisters have white hair.
Well that's not true. That one went and saw the Emperor and emerged from the palace with white hair. She killed the crazy dude that was mucking up the Imperium even more then normal. Many sisters die their hair white to honor her.
>>46828838
I think the SoB could stand to have a vehicle or two thrown their way. Maybe just one of the dozen IG variants that no one uses.
>>46829952
There is really nothing stopping Sisters from having an exclusive armory, albeit one that is is smaller than both the Marines and Guard and probably worse than Marines. (In lore terms)
The Ecclesiarchy has tons of resources to toss around and can easily make a claim on any STCs they find that wouldn't really benefit Marines.
>>46793370
that is some epic fucking art. Any idea of the source?
>>46830121
It was the cover art for the Witch Hunter's codex
>>46830064
Fluff-wise I'd imagine they'd have a lot of stuff that's oriented around defense, as their main role is guarding Eccleisarchy facilities.
>>46829952

I'd really love to see them get a structure or two for themselves.
A SOB mission would be pretty cool.
Give it a high carrying capacity that includes being able to take Vehicles due to a garage. All units inside or within X get Feel no Pain or It Will Not Die or something due to Hospitaler support.
That and a constant inv save due to shield of faith.
Here is a question:
You need to develop the next SOB codex but GW has handed down some requirements.
1) They need a badass psyker unit
2) They need a deathstar melee unit/HQ
3) They need a bit centerpiece model they can sell for heaps of money.
How do you do all of those while still keeping it the SOB?
>>46823781
I'd like either that or Japanese-themed sisters.
There is a lot of room to draw from other religious groups with the SOB with how wide and varied the imperium and it's cults are.
>>46785390

>>46794588
Nobody cares.
>>46831053
>1) They need a badass psyker unit
Difficult. Best solution I'd have on short notice would be some kind of penant high-powered psyker, guarded by a detachment of Sisters of Silence. Could have fun special rules, like when all Sisters of Silence in the unit are killed the Psyker goes berserk.
>2) They need a deathstar melee unit/HQ
Should be fairly straightforward. I'd probably reinvent the Celestians to serve in that role. Storm Shields + Power Mauls/Swords could work well, though personally I'd probably want to give them a faction-specific unique melee weapon. Something like a Power Halberd, maybe, to emphasize their ceremonial aesthetic.
>3) They need a bit centerpiece model they can sell for heaps of money.
Living Saint.
>>46831053
In order to keep the army coherent I'd change the Faithful rule to 'Soulbound' and give them the other notable soulbound guys as help without them taking over the entire codex. Other Terran guys.
1) Astropaths. Terrible combatants, limited choice in psycher disciplines but bloody good at Telepathy/A few new 'Astronomican' ones. Mostly support but pretty good at it.
2)
HQ: A Custodes. You don't get a heap of them just one but he's the 'Big Shitkicker' of non-named characters. A Soulbound guy who can go toe to toe with some of the big CC HQs. Less ranged toys than a Cannoness though.
Unit: Get the Celestians actually good at melee. Storm Shield + glaive modeled off the Custodes one. Str+2 AP3 + It's also a hand flamer. You can replace them with alternate ranged weapon options on the base melee weapon.
3) An upscaled penitent engine. These are crewed by no mere penitent but by a penitent psyker of great power, their talents fueled towards shielding the walker and lashing out with bolts of blessed fire.

The ugly ones are required to wear helmets, and not to appear on propaganda pics.
But there is still a couple ones available.

And the most handsome sister ever.
>>46830121
Space Marines should be married and shipped off with Sisters. They'd never fall to Chaos with a real qt3.14.
>>46832248
I think they'd fall to Chaos pretty quick after a humiliating wedding night spent admitting that despite being a 8 foot tall super soldier, they're also practically eunuchs.
>>46824774
Also this.

You know, on a more general note I've been toying with the idea of what would happen if you were to just throw out the entire current SoB codex and redesign it from the ground with a fresh perspective. Like a thought experiment, basically. Of course to start out with, you'd have to lay down some general design guidelines, and I've been wondering what people here would say are concepts that absolutely should or should never be part of a SoB codex. A few ideas to start with:
>All soldiers should be human, with appropriate statlines. I.e. S/T 3-4 on most everyone. No monsters or anything of the sort.
>Standard equipment of Sisters should be of superior quality relative to average IG kit, to represent the high prestige and wealth of the Ecclesiarchy
>The bulk of a given SoB force should be made up by infantry, to emphasize the personal aspect of their battles.
>General doctrine should emphasize direct and merciless confrontation over skirmishing and maneuver warfare
>They should have superior defensive options (personal armour, entrechment, heavy weapons, etc), to represent their primary duty as guardians of important sacred sites.
>Conversely, they shouldn't have very many options that represent an offensive, mobile style of warfare (e.g. heavy long-ranged artillery, flyers, deep strikers)
So there are a few examples. What do you guys think?

Not really a huge fan of these. Mechanized/Seraphim heavy SOB have a long standing history at this point.
250 posts and only 100 images. This is sad. And with at 113 posters, that means that AT LEAST 13 of you offered nothing. And I know it's more than that, because some of us have done multiple images.
You're parasites.
>>46839168
They dropped battlefleet gothic (that has a huge following in France) ,too.
And the gothic architectural style is also known as the french style.
Coincidence? I think not.
