Introduction
Adepta Sororitas, better known as the Sisters of Battle, are the loyal army of fanatical warriors who fight for the faith of the Imperium and the glory of the Emperor. They are ordinary humans, but with an indomitable faith and a burning desire to eradicate heretics, mutants, and aliens.
On the battlefield, the Sisters of Battle are known for their firepower, flaming weapons, and strong faith that gives them abilities far beyond human. For players who want an army filled with iconic aesthetics, religious fanaticism, and powerful shooting, Adepta Sororitas is an excellent choice.
Lore – who are the Adepta Sororitas?
The Adepta Sororitas are the military branch of the Ecclesiarchy, the church of the Imperium. Since the church is not allowed to have "men under arms", an order of women trained in faith and the art of war was created instead.
The most famous orders are:
-
Order of Our Martyred Lady – black armor, red cloaks, known for their martyrdom.
-
Order of the Bloody Rose – red armor, violent in close combat.
-
Order of the Argent Shroud – silver and black, fast and decisive.
-
Order of the Ebon Chalice – the first and most traditional sisters.
With prayers, hymns, and burning flamers, they throw themselves into battle against all enemies of the Imperium.
