Warhammer 40,000 - The Sisters of Battle Tribute

This one was probablly the most difficult to make so I hope You enjoy watching it! ;)

The Adepta Sororitas (also "the Sisterhood" or "Daughters of the Emperor") is a religious group that was incorporated into the Imperial Cult millennia ago. It is a common misconception that the Adepta Sororitas is the same as the Sisters of Battle, but the latter term technically refers only to the Orders Militant, the best-known part of the organization.

The Adepta Sororitas are an all-woman subdivision of the religious organization known as the Ministorum or Ecclesiarchy. They share with the Inquisition a similar role, policing the divisions of the Adeptus Terra. While the Inquisition's jurisdiction is entirely broad and encompassing, the Sororitas' is confined to heresy and mutation. The Sisterhood is religious where the Inquisition is relatively secular. As the Sisterhood's power extends only over the Adeptus Terra, the self-governing Inquisition remains beyond the Sisterhood's vigilance.

The Sisterhood's Orders Militant are the mailed fist of the Ecclesiarchy, rooting out and mercilessly destroying corruption and heresy within humanity and every department of the Imperium. The Decree Passive rules that the Ecclesiarchy cannot maintain any men under arms. The Sisters, being all women, are exempt from this decree.In the 41st millennium, the Adepta Sororitas is a part of the Ecclesiarchy and is divided into two Convents. The Convent Sanctorum located on Terra, and the Convent Prioris based on Ophelia VII. The overall commander of the entire Sisterhood is the Abbess, based in the Convent Sanctorum, and one of the potential High Lords of Terra.

I want to be one of those perverted beard old men with a staff in SoB.

Thumbs up if you would score with a Sister Of Battle.

@Zelretchify You are correct in saying that they are technically a part of the military wing of the Hereticu. However Inquistors can also call upon their own agents and most have atleast a squad of stormtroopers in their retinue. And like it was said, the Ecclisearchy and the Hereticus call them in when they want to make sure the taint is completely and utterly removed. In my opinion the only ones more effective at battling Chaos in the Imperiums aresnal are the Grey Knights and their Malleus.

[Zelretchify]

@BurningQuranDay They are, technically, the military wing of the Ordo Hereticus. And the job of the Hereticus is what? To deal with Chaos tainting Imperial worlds. Of course there are exceptions (there are quadrillions of people in the Imperium and relatively few sisters), but the overlap is nowhere near as large as it is in Black Library fiction.

[Zelretchify]

@BurningQuranDay Wrong on at least one count - Inquisitors can in fact call in the Space Marines. No one is above the Inquisition. As for the role of the Sororitas, they really are the Ordo Militant of the Hereticus. Where the Arbites (on the whole) deal with common crims, the role of the Sororitas is to purge Chaos wherever it infiltrates humanity.

you have added new pics.

goood...

I would have imagined that, especially on less organised/populated planets, sisters defending the shrine would have a role in law enforcement, at least in keeping the peace in the area immediately surrounding the shrine.

If there was a disturbance taking place and the arbites were not available on this planet, or going to take a while to respond, I can't see why the sisters wouldn't sort it out.

Probably to the detrement of those causing the disturbance, and anyone else nearby.

[BurningQuranDay]

@Night10194 No planet governor can, or wants to, do that. They have their own police force, and they can create their own über-elite police force if it suits them, but they have no jurisdiction over the Sisters. Only the Eclesiarchy have. And also Inquisitors, but Inquisitors can just enroll anyone at a simple demand with the Space Marines as one of the only exceptions.

Therefore, it seems to me the Sister must do what Eclersiarchy cares about, and that's not law enforcement.

[BurningQuranDay]

@Night10194 Well, I have a completely different vision of the Sisters' role. To me what you are describing is clearly the Arbites role. I mean, the fact that the Sisters are a Chamber Militant was included during the Inquisitor craze, when they wanted to make codices for the three Ordo of the Inquisition, and it just seems like a unadjusted detail to me. You are saying that one calls in the Sisters when on really needs it. I'm asking you : who can call in the Sisters ?

[Night10194]

@BurningQuranDay Actually,they're really more of a highly recognizable, well-armed internal police force. Sisters are kind of the Imperium's religious equivalent of the GSG-9 or SWAT: Equipped with distinctive gear designed to scare the hell out of the enemy, well armed, extremely well trained, and able to both cow heretical groups and root them out if need be. They're the Chamber Militant of the Hereticus, after all. You call in Sisters when you *really* need it dead.
