Soulstorm - Sisters of Battle Stronghold Intro

Intro to the Sisters of Battle Stronghold mission.

How many Inquisitors does it take to change a lightbulb? Three. One to outlaw and deny the existence of lightbulbs, one to have the broken bulb tried and executed for heresy, and one to actually change the damn bulb.

Each Space Marine chapter has their own history, fighting style, teachings, adherence to Imperial law and codex, a different leader, and they operate within their own area of the galaxy.

Thing is, the Inquisition is really a widespread, varied, and mostly independent bunch. Besides the seperate Orders, there are various factions within the Inquisition as well. I don't think you could ever turn the Inquisition as a whole, not the least because a lot of these dudes will never even meet each other in their lifetime. Inquisitors may not get a lot of glory because they work behind the scenes and sometimes use extreme methods, but they do their part. Kryptman diverted a Tyranid fleet

[@QueenAbominae14344]

Living Saints just randomly appear within Sisters of Battle ranks. It supersedes any rank and experience. If one Sister is extremely faithful then she rises as a Living Saint again upon her death (taken from the Darn of War codex: Witchunters and Fire and Faith). The original Living Saint does not have wings really but she is escorted by two shroud-bearing cherubims.

[@centurionzen1005]

good question. I hope we find it one day.

[@RockyX456]

Yes, Grey Knights are "in" the Ordo Malleus. Meaning they are part of that organization. Sister of Battle are part of Adeptus Ministorum (Ecclesiarchy) but they are not part of the Ordo Hereticus. The sisters answer to the Ecclesiarchy, and the Ordo Hereticus is part of the Inquisition. They do assist whenever they are called by the Inquisition, but they are not officially part of it. And yeah there's the Deathwatch. (Like Sergeant Cyrus from Dawn of War II)

[@RockyX456]

Sisters' power come from morale damage. Once you remove a unit's morale, the enemy squad can't retaliate. You upgrade 5 flamers, it produces high morale damage and you can slaughter the squad with impunity. The walker unit (forgot it's name) is suppose the second strongest unit, next to the Living Saint. Use them as damage dealers while pinning them down with morale damage and you can win. (Except for where morale is not applicable. Then you just use normal attacks, and flamers still do damage.)

@BerserkerJohn She is someone who has died but the emperor brought her back.

There is also some sort of psychic power that is connected to it but its different that the power that chaos uses.

@QueenAbominae14344 all space marines are seperate factions that are self-governing and have limited authority in terms of marshal law. Sisters of Battle are the order miltant of the Ordo Hereticus which means they are the fighting arm and our required to answer an hereitcus inquistors quests immediately. Witch Hunters and Ordo Hereticus are the same thing.

[@LucaszSchmitz]

So, in the end the Sisters were right, and the Imperial Guard was in fact under the influence of Chaos...but still, kind of stupid that they were so extreme towards their own allies.

[@QueenAbominae14344]

@Lathox I debate to that. Adeptus Custodes brought Alicia Dominica right before the Golden Throne, in front of the Emperor himself. Although we do not know what took place there, it is very obvious that the Emperor knew what was happening. If the Sisters claimed they are the Emperor's Chosen, their Acts of Faith are the basis of their claim.

[@limitess9539]

LOOK A SAINT, BOW DOWN! ... *vroom vroom* in background ...

[@dystopianlover]

@Airganoth I hate to be contrary, but you're wrong. The Orders Militant of the Ordo Hereticus are an all-female branch of the Ordo Hereticus. Only female orphans are accepted into their ranks - just like with the Sisters Hospitaller, etc. They may fight alongside males and even include males in their standing forces - if the ecclesiarchy demands it - but they are still an all-female sub-faction. Furthermore, 'Witch Hunter' is simply a colloquial term that refers to Inquisitors; not Sisters.

[@QueenAbominae14344]

@Lathox That's not ignorance. The Adepta Sororitas never ever question the Ecclesiarchy's dogma and they also respect martyrdom. The more of them die, the stronger they get. Adeptus Astartes are solely dedicated to their Chaptermaster's orders. They're like the Imperium's version of God, Gold and Glory. The Imperial Guard are being bullied in Soulstorm. It's like, "They'll kill us anyway so might as well stand our ground." Give me liberty or give me death.

[@QueenAbominae14344]

Despite their unreasonable cost, Acts of Faith really is strong. Even you people out there have to admit it. Acts of Faith: Emperor's Touch lay waste any race's war machines (except Baneblade and Land Raider) with small shots. Acts of Faith: Divine Retribution is ideal for returning some damage to enemies. Acts of Faith: Ascension summons my favorite Avenging Angels!!! P.S. Don't mind me here...

Once again I agree to that. However with most alliances are built out of convenience instead of permanence, most of it provide both parted with the opportunity to gather information about the enemy and further weaken them in battle scenes.

[@MalevolentSh4d0w]

Um yes I pulled it out of knowledge. Chaos is Warp and the Warp is incomprehensible to Necrons which is why they hate it more than anything and it's actually been theorised that the Tyranids are being controlled by a C'Tan. That was me pointing out the benefits of "co-operation" I didn't say they actually did it.

The Cadian 412th is here to reinforce the 252nd Conservator Regiment and retake the system for the Imperium. Withdrawal is not an option. Selena: So be it, then. General. To arms, sisters! Sturnn: Ready yourselves, men! There is no retreat now!

[@Agent1W]

The IG have Priests that belong to the same faction and the IG commanders have personal Confessors. I never understood the conflict of interest there. Why would a Priest lead troops in battle against Battle Sisters?

[@giacomoromano8842]

@@Agent1W the idea is well explained in the fact that the Sisters of Battle are so fanatical in their belief that they are sure nothing is untainted in the Kaurava system, Imperial Guards included. About priests against priests, dogmas and beliefs are extremely different from planet to planet which can justify any battle between members of the ecclesiarchy: what a planet consider holy, for example a rite to worship the emperor involving a offer of rich food and precious luxuries, is seen as heretical/profane/etherodoxy by another planet, maybe even a neighbouring one.

[@dystopianlover]

@Airganoth Even then, the Ordo Hereticus doesn't really field armies except for armies unaffiliated Imperial armies they request - demand - to follow their lead, but they don't really have any armies of their own - except for the Order Militant of the Adeptus Sororitas. They do have specialized troops, like Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and the like, but they don't really have their own armies at beck and call. Of course they have men in the organization, but they don't have 'armies' of men.

The Necrons were forced into sleep by the Warp waged the worst war in history against the Warp and cannot comprehend, actively try and block the Warp so it's pretty obvious they hate the manifestation of the Warp - Chaos.

@dragonstormx yh i thought as much; from what i can tell they're just a whole army of scout marines (only better) in the respect that they both use bolters and other marine weapons, and they wear heavy armour. As you say, the main difference is the fact that marines are genetically enhanced, whereas the sisters of battle make up for their lack of enhancements with fanatic devotion. this is all, of course, my interpretation...

There's also another way called the Acclamation by Adoration which happens if all Sisters, as if inspiration by the holy Emperor, say one Sisters name, aloud, anonymously, loudly and simultaneously.

Um... No. If you want underdog, try pretty much any Xenos race that isn't Tyranids. Seriously, xenos are so nerfed when it comes to the lore. You hear all the time about what powerful psychics the Eldar are, or how vast and scary Ork armies are, or how advanced and fanatical the Tau are, yet the amount of stunning victories and hilarious fuckstompings the Imperium dish out on a regular basis, you'd wonder why they haven't conquered the universe ages ago.

Their holiness pales in comparison to the canonical info of the grey knights. Sure the sisters purge heretics and the likes, but the grey knights have performed harder tasks, such as banishing the daemon primarch of the world eaters legion AND retinue

[@QueenAbominae14344]

Well I think the Space Marines and the Imperial Guard are more than prone to aligning themselves with xenos races because it really happened in most Dawn of War stories. If the Space Wolves are a unique Chapter all by themselves, I wonder why they're not the featured race in the games version...

@Kemonokami Lots and lots of barbecues and sermons for the HOLY EMPEROR.

Possible dialogue between Selina and Stubbs Stubbs: Your overzealous purge of this system must end Cannoness. Do NOT make us have to do something tragic! Selina: Your actions in this system have already made this entire affair a tragedy you filthy heretic! Stubbs: I am no heretic Cannoness but YOU are a zealot blinded with fanaticism. For the sake of the Imperium, it seems that you leavew me with no choice in this matter.... Selina: Then come and taste our righteous fire, traitor!

@beastclaw33 well i was looking through slaves of darkness codex , which says that there are good manifestation of daemons , but they dont tend to live long since they lack aggression compared to negative emotions ( imperial saints are an exception ) . And emperor is actually being seriously screwed by inquisition which keeps him in vegetable state and his soul imprisoned , so to enter warp and to reborn he needs to die first .

The Empire Warhammer Fantasy isn't the Imperium of Man from 40K. 40K takes place in the future of Earth, Fantasy takes place in a totally different world/universe (though it has some shout-outs to 40K).

@ximbabwe0228 "So anything else you enjoy besides carrying out the Emperor's Will?" "Are you questioning his divine authority?!" "Check please!"

Giving new meaning to the term "Flame war".
